Swintt gives a much-loved classic a fresh ‘n’ fruity reboot in Extra Win X Pots
In-demand software provider adds a further sweetener to its popular Premium release by introducing four generous jackpot segments to its exciting bonus wheel feature
When it first launched in January 2022, the original Extra Win X was one of the flagship titles in the SwinttPremium range as it introduced an exciting bonus wheel feature where players could win instant cash prizes after every full-table win – and now the classic slot is back, bigger and better than ever with the addition of four local prizes in the new and improved Extra Win X Pots.
With the same vibrant visuals and casino-style sound effects as its predecessor, Extra Win X Pots remains a simple three-reel slot with five fixed paylines. Just as before, the line-up of iconic symbols to feature on the game’s reels includes cherries, lemons, oranges, and plums – all of which can trigger an additional full table win bonus – with liberty bells and lucky sevens acting as the higher value icons.
Those who are fans of the initial game are likely already familiar with the genuine thrill that arises from achieving the aforementioned full tables wins in Extra Win X Pots. Indeed, whenever all nine reel spaces are filled by the same fruit symbol, not only will players receive full value across all five paylines, but they’ll also be whisked away to the bonus wheel and be given the chance to spin for additional multipliers and prizes.
Once the feature begins, players will be presented with a glitzy “Wheel of Fortune”-style prize board displaying 12 coloured sections. Among them, players will find four standard win segments, a 2x win segment, four pot segments a special “X” symbol and two more spots simply displaying the word “end”.
A coloured light will then begin orbiting the wheel before eventually coming to rest on a specific segment. If a win or 2x win segment is hit, it will transform into an “end” space and another round will be played, with the total value of the triggering spin being retrospectively doubled. Landing on a pot segment, meanwhile, will add the corresponding Minor, Major, Maxi or Mega Pot to the feature win.
Finally, landing on the “X” symbol will transport players to an upgraded wheel with bigger multipliers and only the three highest value jackpots. Here they can keep spinning until they hit an “end” segment, with this returning them to the first wheel and a second “end” from there finally finishing the feature.
Essentially, then, players can continue spinning and collecting prizes until an “end” segment on the first wheel is hit or when all spaces have already been landed on. Because of this, the bonus feature has huge prize potential, with the Mega Jackpot alone being worth a whopping 1,000x the selected stake!
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “At Swintt, we believe the classics are called classics for a reason, so our Premium range of slots takes this into consideration and enables users to enjoy engaging features plus familiar graphics and sound.
“That being said, we’re certainly not averse to adding a little extra jackpot spice where we feel it’s necessary, and it’s for that reason that we’ve upgraded our iconic Extra Win X slot to include four instant-win pot prizes in its already hugely-rewarding bonus round. As such, we’re confident the rebooted slot will go on to become a huge hit with both fans of the original and first-time players alike.”

BOS releases report on the prevalence of gambling addiction in Sweden
Sweden has seen a long‑term decline in gambling addiction over the past 25 years, despite rapid growth in online gambling availability, advertising, and mobile gaming.
Economist Ola Nevander’s research for the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) shows that the prevalence of problem gambling has steadily fallen since the early 2000s, even as the market expanded. This trend emerged even with the widespread adoption of digital gaming products and 24/7 access on smartphones.
According to the findings, the proportion of Swedes classified as problem gamblers (based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index) dropped from about 2.2 % in 2008–09 to around 1.3 % by 2021, marking a significant reduction in overall gambling harm.
Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General of BOS, emphasizes that this decline suggests Sweden’s regulatory and industry efforts are moving in the right direction. While the transformation from traditional physical gambling venues to digital platforms has raised concerns, online tools such as responsible gaming technologies and AI‑assisted safeguards are helping reduce problem gambling rates.
However, Hoffstedt cautions that much work remains, because expanded game offerings and persistent advertising mean ongoing responsibility is crucial to maintain and deepen the downward trend.
