Swintt unleashes a five-reel force of nature in Electric Elements
Sought-after software provider’s ambitious and eagerly-anticipated release sees players draw on the powers of earth, wind, fire and water to electrify their Free Spins earnings
This month, hotshot software provider, Swintt, is advising players to brace themselves for an electrifying gaming experience as they unveil the latest all-action addition to their celebrated slot selection in Electric Elements; a new cluster pays title that’s fully-charged with features.
Played out across an elongated 5×7 set of reels, Electric Elements is perfectly proportioned to be enjoyed on mobile devices in portrait mode and features a deep space/elemental guardian theme. Among the entirely unique line-up of symbols to appear in the game, players will find icons depicting the elements of earth, wind, fire and water as well as the powerful celestial beings that embody them.
As a cluster pays release, Electric Elements doesn’t incorporate any paylines, but instead requires players to land groups of adjacent symbols that will then explode from view as new ones drop down to fill their place. This popular game mechanic is made all the easier to trigger by the addition of substitute wilds and the presence of four powerful elemental boosters that can be activated each spin.
In order to trigger an elemental booster, players simply need to land symbol combinations containing at least 25 instances of the same icon to completely fill its element metre in a single spin. Thanks to the ongoing nature of the cluster pays mechanic, however, these symbols needn’t all be contained in a single win but can rather be spread across multiple wins in the same turn to make filling the metres much easier.
Each elemental booster applies a unique bonus effect to the reels and multiple boosters can be triggered at once providing their element metres have all been filled. Earth transforms a number of symbols into the same random symbol, while wind blows all instances of a particular icon off the reels completely and new symbols will cascade to fill the reels. Fire, on the other hand, transforms all occurrences of a random symbol into substitute wilds, while the final element, water, will instantly wash away an entire row to start a symbol cascade.
Should players successfully fill all four element metres in a single spin, they’ll also trigger Electric Element’s main Free Spins feature. When this happens, they’ll be able to choose from five Free Spins modes that balance the number of spins against the value of the booster selected, with everything from 16 Free Spins with the wind element active to 3 Free Spins with all elements in play being offered.
If they prefer to take a direct route to the Free Spins, players will also be happy to learn that Electric Elements includes an optional Buy Feature button that grants immediate access to the bonus for an additional stake. Those accessing the Free Spins via the base game, meanwhile, will be aided in their quest by a 4×4 element wheel that can appear on any spin to instantly fill one random element metre.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Make no mistake about it, Electric Elements is one of the most exciting and ambitious releases that the team at Swintt has worked on to date and we’re delighted to now be able to give the slot its eagerly-anticipated debut at our partner casinos.
“Featuring an engaging cluster pays mechanic and a lucrative quartet of elemental bonuses that can be triggered in any combination on any spin, the game should certainly appeal to the new, mobile-focused generation of slot fan as well as those who simply love the rush of richly rewarding Free Spins.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.
The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.
Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.
Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:
“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.
“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.
“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”
Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:
“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.
“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
