Swintt and Samurai Studio take a walk on the wild side in Lightning Jungle Hold The Cash
The first Samurai Studio’s game launched via the SwinttStudios platform sees players rumble in the jungle with flash cash prizes, re-spins and max wins of up to 9,016x.
With the innovative SwinttStudios programme offering third-party developers the chance to launch their products via the company’s extensive distribution network, Swintt is delighted to unveil the brand-new Lightning Jungle: Hold The Cash in partnership with Samurai Studio.
The first title in what promises to be a rich and varied line-up of exclusives released by Samurai Studio, Lightning Jungle Hold The Cash is an exciting 5×3 video slot which offers players 234 ways to win. Featuring stunning graphics and a captivating soundtrack, the game takes place in front of a roaring waterfall and features wonders of the natural world like exotic birds, great apes and majestic tigers among its unique symbols.
Where the game really stands out from other releases, however, is in its two rewarding bonus rounds – namely the Lightning Game and the Respin Feature. Dealing with the two in order, the Lightning Game is triggered whenever players land six or more scatter icons anywhere on the base game reels.
Whenever this happens, all triggering symbols will be held in place as players are whisked away to a new enhanced game board displaying two 5×3 reel sets and an additional middle reel. Initially, only the bottom reel set – the Primary Reel – will be available and players will receive three Free Spins.
After each round, the total number of bonus games will reduce by one, but should players land a cash symbol or “All Collect” symbol, these symbols will remain locked in place as the counter is reset. Should players successfully fill the Extra Reels with cash symbols, the Secondary Reel will also become active.
This process will continue until all available bonus games have been used, a “All Collect” symbol lands and all locked cash prizes are awarded, or all reel spaces are occupied with cash symbols. As an additional incentive, if either the Primary Reel or Secondary Reel is completely filled before the end of the feature, all currently locked cash prizes will double in value for an even bigger bonus round payout.
The Respin feature is activated whenever a Scatter Symbol appears in the middle row of reel five. If this happens, the symbol will be duplicated and added to the space directly to the right of the extra reels at the top of the gameboard. After each Respin, the Scatter Symbol will move one position to the left until it disappears from the reels, at which point all collected prizes will be awarded.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Through our exciting SwinttStudios initiative, we aim to team up with the hottest up-and-coming studios in the industry and help them get the next top game to market – and in Samurai Studio, we couldn’t have hoped for a better partner to work with.
“As the first game in the Samurai Studio series to be launched via SwinttStudios, Lightning Jungle Hold The Cash, will give players a taste about what this innovative developer is all about. Featuring an exciting Lightning Game and a rewarding re-spin feature, the slot has all the makings of a classic and we’re very much looking forward to seeing it go live across Swintt’s extensive distribution network.”

Esportes da Sorte has renewed its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition
Esportes da Sorte has renewed its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition.
The brand reinforces its strategy of promoting Brazilian culture after fostering an exchange between the North and Northeast regions during the Pernambuco Carnival.
Esportes da Sorte announced the renewal of its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition.
Scheduled to take place from June 26 to 28, the event is part of the brand’s strategy to strengthen Brazilian cultural expressions and support the regional creative economy.
The continuation of the partnership follows a cycle of cultural integration promoted by the company over the past year.
In 2026, the group brought artistic references from the Parintins Festival to Recife Carnival by inviting Amazonian visual artist Iran Martins to design the brand’s parade float at Galo da Madrugada.
The project incorporated movement mechanisms and aesthetic elements inspired by the “bumbás” universe into the visual language of frevo.
Beyond brand exposure, the investment in Parintins is part of a positioning strategy focused on valuing Brazilian cultural identity and strengthening initiatives with strong regional ties.
“Our presence in Parintins goes beyond a branding action. It is a commitment to valuing Brazilian culture and the professionals who drive this creative ecosystem.
By bringing together references from the Parintins Festival and Recife Carnival, we show how different cultural expressions in the country can dialogue and create new connections.
We want to continue expanding this impact and contribute to keeping the bumbá tradition strong,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil, owner of Esportes da Sorte.
Economic growth and new Bumbódromo
The Parintins Festival 2026 is expected to generate around R$193.2 million, a projected 5% increase compared to the previous edition. The forecast also includes approximately 30,000 direct and indirect jobs, as well as the arrival of around 126,000 tourists.
The audience will be welcomed in the new Bumbódromo, a structure with capacity for up to 25,000 people per day, which will become part of the festival’s expansion in the coming years.
Esportes da Sorte
Esportes da Sorte is one of Brazil’s leading sports betting platforms, with 100% national operations and a license granted by the Ministry of Finance (SPA/MF) to Esportes Gaming Brasil — the group that also owns the Onabet and Lottu brands.
The company is part of a Great Place to Work certified group and generates around 1,000 direct and indirect jobs. Its pillars include innovation, commitment to responsible gaming, and support for sector regulation.
It maintains strategic partnerships with institutions such as ANJL, IBIA, Sportradar, EBAC, and IAA, strengthening control practices, problem gambling prevention, and user protection.
In addition to sports betting, Esportes da Sorte invests consistently in sports, culture, and social projects. It is a master sponsor of clubs such as Corinthians, Ceará, Ferroviária, and Náutico, as well as supporting major cultural events like Galo da Madrugada, Carnival celebrations in cities such as Recife, Olinda, Salvador, Maceió, Natal, Caicó, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, and the Parintins Festival. The brand also expands its digital presence through creative campaigns and influencer partnerships, strengthening its connection with audiences across online platforms.
