Swintt celebrates a golden harvest in new Duolitos Garden slot
Innovative software studio’s latest Premium release sees players reconnect with the natural world, where sunflower scatters can trigger a bounty of blossoming bonuses
This month, hot-shot software providers, Swintt, is getting back to its roots in the brand-new Premium release, Duolitos Garden – a natural wonder of a slot where players will be able to reap what they sow in a bonus-packed Free Spins feature that also boasts four fixed jackpots.
Played out to a backdrop of verdant fields and calm blue skies, Duolitos Garden is a nominally a 5×3 video slot with 50 fixed paylines and a farmyard theme. Unique icons to feature in the game include carrots, beans, bags of fertiliser and corns on the cob, with Swintt’s instantly-recognisable fox symbol also making a welcome return as a substitute wild that can expand to complete any winning paylines.
Where the game really blossoms, however, is in the addition of its special sunflower scatter symbol. Landing six or more of these important icons in a single spin will transport players to a new set of reels where a rewarding Free Spins feature will begin – and it’s here that the slot’s biggest payouts can be won.
The mechanic of the Free Spins feature will be familiar to all fans of SwinttPremium slots, with the sunflower symbols now transforming into suns that display cash values as an initial three spins are awarded. After each subsequent round the number of re-spins will reduce by one, but landing a further sunflower or one of the game’s other special icons will reset the count to 3 and further prolong the feature.
In Duolitos Garden, however, the Free Spins come with a twist. In addition to the sunflower symbols, there are also a number of additional power-ups that can award further prizes or otherwise enhance the feature. Initially the re-spins take place across three rows and five columns, but landing a frog icon will see an extra row come into play, with this extending the gameboard up to a maximum 6×5 layout.
On top of that, there’s also the forester icon – which will permanently increase maximum number of re-spins by one – and a further trio of symbols that can award instant cash prizes. These include the farmer, which will pay the value of all current pearls as a one-time bonus, the gardener, which will double the value of all current pearls, and the bee, which will add random winnings to up to five pearls.
Finally, while working through their Free Spins, players may also encounter sticky chest symbols. Whenever one of these icons lands within the active gameboard, it will remain locked in place and open after 10 spins have been played. When it does, one of the game’s four fixed jackpots will be awarded – from the 20x Minor Pot to the 500x Mega Pot – and multiple jackpots can also be collected.
If players are struggling to trigger the re-spins round – or they simply want to play for the game’s biggest prizes even faster – they’ll be pleased to know that an optional Buy Feature Games option is available, while all base game and bonus winnings can also be gambled in Swintt’s popular Risk game.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “While our SwinttPremium catalogue is known for sticking to the fundamental values of straightforward gameplay and easy-to-trigger bonus features, we don’t think these basics need be a barrier to innovation and providing an engaging user experience. “As such, our new Duolitos Garden slot includes one of the most ambitious and entertaining bonus rounds to feature in a Premium release so far. By taking our popular “sun” Free Spins mechanic and enhancing it with four jackpot prizes and a range of game-enhancing bonus symbols, we can ensure that players reap the full benefits of a fun and rewarding feature that can pay up to 3,000x their stake.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus
DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.
The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.
If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.
Google-style campus for game development talents
The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.
It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.
“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.
What does this mean for the market?
Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.
If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.
And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
