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.”

Clever Advertising buys strategic stake in SEO affiliate iGaming Nuts
Deal targets regulated Poland market by combining global media buying with local SEO and compliance expertise.
Clever Advertising has taken a strategic investment stake in iGaming Nuts as it looks to expand player acquisition in Poland. The companies said the deal brings iGaming Nuts’ Polish SEO affiliate portfolio into Clever Advertising’s global multi-channel network.
Clever Advertising positions the move as a faster route into a regulated market where compliance and localization are critical, and where paid acquisition costs can move quickly. iGaming Nuts operates across several European markets, including the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain, with Poland as its lead market.
Marcos Oliveira, COO of Clever Advertising, said: “Poland is one of Europe’s most demanding regulated markets, and iGaming Nuts is the most solid base we could build on there. They lead in local SEO, they know the rules, and they open commercial relationships that would take years to build alone. Together, we give our operator partners a compliant route into the market.”
Adam Bieliński, CEO of iGaming Nuts, added: “Working with Clever Advertising is a big step for our team and our users. We’ve built tools and content for Polish regulations and player preferences. With Clever Advertising’s infrastructure and scale behind us, we can develop our product faster, improve the user experience, and strengthen our position in legal sports betting affiliate traffic in Poland.”
The companies also said they plan to extend the partnership into a financial trading media vertical. No financial terms, stake size, or closing timeline were disclosed.

Arizona extends Gaming Department for six years; problem gambling budget rises 20%
Governor Hobbs signs SB 1671; new budget sets $4M spend authority plus $500K a year from event wagering funds.
The Arizona Department of Gaming has secured a six-year continuation after Governor Hobbs signed Senate Bill 1671, following the 2026 legislative session that adjourned June 12, 2026. The continuation also covers the Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission and the Arizona Racing Commission.
The Department said SB 1671 affirms its authority to regulate tribal gaming, event wagering and fantasy sports, horse racing and simulcast wagering, and boxing and mixed martial arts.
In parallel, the Department said Senate Bill 1847 and the state’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget expand expenditure authority for its Division of Problem Gambling. The budget authorizes $4,000,000 in total spending for the Division, which the agency said is a 20% increase from FY26.
The Department also said the legislature granted an annual $500,000 expenditure authority to use Event Wagering funds to support problem gambling, and that the Division will have grant oversight authority for the first time.
“Arizona first established the Department of Gaming in 1995 – and more than thirty years later, we remain excited about world-class regulation benefiting the entire state,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “I’m grateful to Governor Hobbs and leaders in the state legislature, particularly continuation bill sponsor State Senator Shawnna Bolick, who thoroughly reviewed our agency with a deep commitment to public service, and I am pleased that the Department secured its continuation, which will allow us to strengthen our focus points in robust consumer protection and integrity.”
“The new state budget will strengthen longstanding investments in problem gambling assistance made possible through partnerships with Arizona’s Tribal Nations and the Arizona Lottery,” said Elise Mikkelsen. “We continue to see strong demand from individuals and families seeking information, resources, and treatment for gambling-related harm. This increased funding will help us expand the continuum of care and ensure more Arizonans have access to effective, inclusive, and timely support.”
