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, the world’s leading online casino and sportsbook, has today announced the launch of its latest Stake Originals title, Moles, a high-intensity arcade-style game designed to deliver fast decisions, escalating tension, and huge multiplier potential.
Stake has released Moles, a new addition to its gaming portfolio that adapts traditional carnival mechanics for a digital environment. The gameplay requires players to strike targets to accumulate multipliers, offering a choice between immediate cash-outs or continuing for higher potential rewards.
At its core, the game is built around a dynamic risk-reward system. Players choose how many moles appear on the board — from one to six — directly influencing both difficulty and potential payout. Fewer moles offer a higher risk and the chance of extreme multipliers, while more moles provide a steadier, lower-risk path.
The game operates on a rapid-fire sequence where each successful hit increments a player’s multiplier. Under the game’s mechanics, a single missed target results in the immediate conclusion of the round and the forfeiture of accumulated rewards.
Moles features a maximum win multiplier of 5,649,504.98x. This represents one of the highest potential payout ratios currently available within the Stake Originals portfolio.
Designed for speed, simplicity, and replayability, the game captures the essence of classic fairground entertainment while elevating it with modern mechanics, provably fair technology, and a smooth, responsive interface.
Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, Akhil Sarin, said: “Moles is a perfect example of what Stake Originals is all about — taking a familiar concept and turning it into something fast, engaging, and highly rewarding for our players.We wanted to create a game that’s instantly recognisable but delivers that signature Stake intensity where every decision matters and every round builds that thrilling tension.With its massive win potential and simple yet strategic gameplay, we’re confident Moles will quickly become a fan favourite across our global community.”
The launch of Moles continues Stake’s momentum in expanding its Originals suite — a category that has become central to the platform’s identity, known for delivering innovative, in-house games that prioritise player control, transparency, and high engagement.
Built with a provably fair system and a 98% RTP, the game ensures both transparency and competitive returns, reinforcing Stake’s commitment to delivering premium gaming experiences.
Moles will be available globally on Stake from March 24, 2026, alongside a refreshed lineup of Stake Originals releases as the brand continues to push the boundaries of online casino entertainment.

VeliTech is preparing to make its first-ever appearance in Brazil at BiS SiGMA South America 2026, taking place in São Paulo from April 6–9. Exhibiting at Stand i156, the company arrives with strong momentum, highlighted by a double awards shortlist and a casino content portfolio designed to make an impact.
The company has been shortlisted in two major categories ahead of the event:
- Best Platform for VeliTech
- Best Gaming Experience for VeliPlay
These nominations underline the strength of VeliTech’s ecosystem, with its core iGaming platform recognized for reliability and scalability, while VeliPlay gains attention for delivering fast-paced, high-energy gameplay through its growing portfolio of crash and instant games.
Casino Content Takes Centre Stage
For its Brazil debut, VeliTech is placing a clear focus on its casino offering. At the heart of the showcase is VeliPlay, featuring a lineup built around speed, immersion, and repeat engagement — key factors in today’s competitive iGaming landscape.
The portfolio has recently been strengthened with new releases, including Pinball Rush, which adds to its expanding catalogue of adrenaline-driven titles. This focus aligns with broader industry trends, where instant and crash games continue to gain traction among players seeking fast and dynamic experiences.
Complementing this is Heaven of 7, the group’s slot development arm, known for visually rich games and engaging mechanics. Its latest release, Coin Up: Rise, highlights the studio’s commitment to combining strong design with accessible gameplay, helping operators diversify their content mix.
Aggregation Power with VeliGames
Completing the offering is VeliGames, VeliTech’s aggregation platform, which has recently been recognised as an Industry Rising Star by SiGMA. Through a single integration, VeliGames provides operators with access to a wide portfolio of content alongside robust back-office tools.
This combination of aggregation technology and in-house content studios allows VeliTech to offer a fully connected casino solution. By bringing together instant games, slots, and scalable infrastructure, the company aims to help operators streamline operations while enhancing player engagement.
A Strategic Move into a High-Growth Market
Brazil is widely regarded as one of the most promising emerging markets in iGaming, making VeliTech’s debut particularly significant. As regulation evolves and competition increases, providers are looking to establish an early presence with strong, differentiated offerings.
Mats Lundin, Chief Sales Officer at VeliTech, said:
“Brazil is one of the most exciting markets in iGaming right now, so making our debut at BiS SiGMA South America is a big moment for us. We’re coming to São Paulo with a content lineup built to make an impact, from fast-paced crash and instant games to engaging slots, all backed by the power of VeliGames aggregation. To be shortlisted for both Best Gaming Experience and Best Platform ahead of our first event in Brazil makes this milestone even more exciting.”
