Swintt sets their sights on super-sized wins in new Big Max Pots and Pearls slot
Sought-after software provider’s latest Premium release serves up a fruit-filled feast that’s bursting with mystery prizes and a juicy, jackpot-packed Pearl Respins bonus feature
Having wowed audiences with state-of-the-art releases like Candy Gold and Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM, Swintt is certainly no stranger to innovation – however, sometimes the classics are classics for good reason, as demonstrated by the software provider’s new slot, Big Max Pots and Pearls.
The latest addition to Swintt’s ever-growing catalogue of Premium releases, on the face of its Big Max Pots and Pearls is a retro-styled title that takes its inspiration from classic land-based slot machines. Featuring five reels and 50 fixed paylines, the game is bursting with familiar fruit-themed symbols such as cherries, lemons, oranges and plums, but also uses special fox wilds that expand to fill their columns.
Beyond its instantly-recognisable aesthetics, though, players will find a game that packs a lot of features under its hood, including the presence of mystery prizes and a welcome return of the software provider’s signature Pearl Respin bonus round. The latter of these two exciting extras can be particularly profitable, given it can potentially pay out four local jackpots worth up to 50,000x apiece.
Dealing with the two main features in order, the mystery bonus is awarded whenever three diamond scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels during the base game. Should this happen, players will be prompted to click the screen to reveal a random prize of 30x, 60x or even 100x their selected stake.
The Pearl Respin feature, meanwhile – though equally easy to trigger – is a little more complex. Activated whenever six pearl symbols appear simultaneously, players will initially be granted three spins on a new set of reels where only these icons are present. Should another pearl land during their respins, the counter will reset and they’ll be able to continue playing until all 15 reel spaces are filled.
During the Pearl Respin, any one of the Minor, Major, Maxi or Mega jackpots can arrive to award a colossal cash prize, and at the end of the feature, the values of all pearl symbols are totalled up and awarded as a bonus payout. What’s more, any winnings that are accrued in either feature or the base game can then be gambled in an optional bonus round via the return of Swintt’s popular Risk feature.
Available after any win, the Risk feature requires players to correctly guess the colour of a hidden playing card in order to double the value of their current prize. Up to four rounds of Risk can be played at any time, with the game also ending when the maximum win is reached or an incorrect pick is made.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Through our new Big Max Pots and Pearls release, Swintt has successfully provided a fresh twist on the classic fruit-themed slot by combining simple gameplay, graphics and sounds with a range of exciting and exceptionally rewarding additions.
“Thanks to the inclusion of mystery bonus prizes and the return of our popular Pearl Respins feature – which is linked to four lucrative local jackpots – we’ve taken our successful Premium release formula to the next level and we can’t wait to hear what our players think of it when it debuts later this month.”
Stake published a new campaign video on June 23 showing a small-sided football match played on a pitch suspended from a hot air balloon at 10,000ft.
The video features six extreme sports content creators—Nathan Roque, Alessio Papia, Nicolo Contrada, Yasmin Xavier, Sara Vidal, and Carol Chafauzer—playing on a 12m x 20m synthetic grass platform. Stake said the 3,000kg pitch was carried by balloon during a 60-minute flight, with participants later jumping from the platform using parachutes.
The activation sits within Stake’s “It’s All At Stake” brand platform, which the company launched ahead of this summer’s global football tournament. According to Stake, the campaign is being promoted across YouTube, Instagram and X.
Jarrod Febbraio, Director at Stake, said: “This summer sees one of the biggest cultural moments on the planet and simply showing up is no longer enough. Our ambition is to create campaigns that genuinely capture people’s attention, spark conversation and give fans something they haven’t seen before.
“At Stake, we are always looking for ways to push creative boundaries and challenge expectations around sports marketing. Whether it’s our It’s All At Stake campaign or staging a football match thousands of feet in the air, the objective is the same – creating entertainment that resonates with audiences and delivers memorable experiences around the moments they care most about.”
Stake also said the “It’s All At Stake” campaign has generated more than 200 million views across earned and social channels in the first week of the tournament.

Infingame has published operational observations on what it says is driving player engagement on sweepstakes platforms, arguing that traditional online casino retention tactics don’t consistently translate to the sweepstakes model.
According to the aggregator, the strongest-performing sweepstakes products are built around progression-driven engagement, social-style competition, lightweight onboarding, and highly dynamic promotional systems. “Sweepstakes players behave very differently from traditional casino audiences,” said Jana Filagina, Head of Commercial at Infingame. “The expectation is much closer to entertainment platforms and gaming ecosystems than classic gambling products. Retention is driven by interaction quality, progression, and continuous engagement rather than purely transactional behavior.”
Infingame identified tournament ecosystems as a leading mechanic for repeat participation and session continuity, saying competitive formats outperform static reward campaigns by adding progression loops and achievement motivation. The company said operators using segmented tournament mechanics recorded higher repeat participation rates than those relying mainly on bonus-driven campaigns, and flagged “multiplier races, win races, and progression-based leaderboard systems” as particularly effective for mobile-first audiences due to short-session play patterns.
“Players want activity, not passive rewards,” Filagina said. “The strongest-performing sweepstakes platforms are creating environments where players continuously interact with missions, rankings, tournaments, and achievement systems rather than simply claiming bonuses.”
Infingame also highlighted mission-based challenge systems as a fast-growing retention lever, saying they encourage broader content exploration and higher daily return activity than standard promotional structures. Separately, the company pointed to infrastructure scalability as an operational priority, arguing that mobile-heavy, interaction-focused audiences make responsiveness and gameplay continuity central to engagement performance as operators scale across North America.

Isle of Man-based regulatory and licensing consultancy says it has opened in Ireland and will announce further locations.
SolutionsHub has marked its 10-year anniversary, highlighting international expansion plans from its Isle of Man base. Founder Lee Hills set up the regulatory and licensing consultancy on 23 June 2016, the day of the Brexit referendum.
The company said it has grown from a one-person operation into what it describes as “the largest regulatory and licensing consultancy on the Isle of Man,” supported by a team that includes former regulators, government officials and compliance specialists. SolutionsHub said it now supports “hundreds of businesses and organisations” across gaming, fintech and other regulated sectors, and has received “more than 55 industry awards, including three EGR awards.”
SolutionsHub said its international footprint has increased, with an office established in Ireland and further overseas offices set to be announced as part of its next stage of development. The company also said it is broadening its work into adjacent regulated industries as regulation and operational complexity evolve globally.
Hills said: “I did not begin with a detailed ten-year plan. I knew the type of business I wanted to create and the standards I wanted it to represent, but what SolutionsHub has become has been built by the people who joined the business and contributed their own knowledge, experience and commitment.
“We have never pursued growth simply for the sake of becoming bigger. We have focused on being consistent, investing in people with genuine regulatory and operational experience and making sure that growth does not come at the expense of the quality of our work.
“That has been a collective effort throughout the past ten years. Every person who has worked with us, supported the business or trusted us to advise them has played a part in reaching this point.
“The opportunity now is to take the same approach into new markets, strengthen our international presence and continue building the expertise our clients will need as regulation becomes increasingly complex.”
SolutionsHub COO Nick Wright added: “When I joined SolutionsHub, it was still a very young business, but the ambition and the standards behind it were already clear,” Wright said.
“What has followed has been a genuine team effort. We have brought together people with significant regulatory, operational and industry experience, and each of them has contributed to the business SolutionsHub is today.
“The company is larger, the team has grown and we now work across more markets, but the underlying principles have remained the same. We want to do the work properly, give clients practical support and build relationships that last.
“Reaching ten years gives us an opportunity to recognise everything the team has achieved together, while also looking ahead to what we can build next.”
