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.”

THE MONEYMAKER TOUR RETURNS TO HARD ROCK CINCINNATI WITH MORE THAN $1 MILLION UP FOR GRABS
Following a hugely successful first event in Cincinnati, Ohio in September 2023, the Moneymaker Tour is returning to the Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati on September 17 – 30, 2024 with a packed schedule that will guarantee more than $1 million across 15 trophy events.
In September 2023’s inaugural stop at Hard Rock Cincinnati, the $1,500 Main Event was contested by 788 players and won by Joseph Bakun for $208,034. He was joined at the final table by Chris Moneymaker himself and WSOP Champion Joseph McKeehen and as well as the top cash prize, he also took home a crystal Moneymaker Tour trophy and a guitar trophy.
The Moneymaker Tour was created in 2023 by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns. The Tour was conceived as a way for Moneymaker to give poker players opportunities to have their own ordinary to extraordinary moments as he did.
Despite its relative newcomer status, the Moneymaker Tour has made a name for itself, recently being voted the third most popular live poker tournament series behind only the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, in a State of Poker survey. Since its inception, there have been eight events throughout Florida, Cincinnati and Houston.
The Tour has also recently announced new venues including a first visit to the birthplace of the Moneymaker boom with an event in Las Vegas from June 28 – July 6 at MGM Grand and its first international Main Event at Casino Aruba in October.
“Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati will team up with the Moneymaker Tour for a return in 2024” said Christopher Herbert, Hard Rock Cincinnati Manger of Poker & Sportsbook. “Hard Rock Cincinnati is grateful to be a part of the fastest growing poker tour in 2023. Chris Moneymaker, Tony Burns and their staff delivered an incredible experience for our guests during the 2023 Moneymaker Tour stop. There’s no better place to be in September 2024 than Cincinnati Ohio!”
“After an amazing series last September, we are excited to return to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati”, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager of the Moneymaker Tour. “Continuing to partner with one of the most recognisable brands in the world amplifies our reach, resonates with our audience, and rocks our business to a whole other level.”
