Swintt unveils new slot page-turner in Big Max Books and Pearl
Innovative software provider combines two fan-favourite features to bring players free spins with expanding lucky symbols and the rewarding pearl feature
Having set the bar for classic slots with its innovative “Book” series, hot-shot software provider, Swintt, is back with a new chapter this month in Big Max Books and Pearls – an action-packed Premium release the combines two of the studio’s all-time favourite features.
Played out across five reels and five fixed paylines, the game features all the familiar slot staples that players will know and love from land-based machines such as fruits, BAR logos and lucky red sevens while also incorporating a pair of signature scatter symbols that activate the two features.
The first is the instantly-recognisable “Book” scatter which, whenever three or more appear in any reel position, instantly grants players 10 free spins. At the start of these free spins, one regular icon will be chosen at random to become the mystery symbol, with any instances of this that land expanding to fill their reel as any valid payouts are awarded even if the symbols aren’t connected.
Secondly, players will also need to keep an eye out for special pearl symbols containing numerical prize values. Should three or more of these icons land, the Pearl feature will be triggered and players will be awarded an initial three respins. Now, whenever further pearls land the respin counter will be reset, with all prize values being awarded when it finally reaches zero.
As a final sweetener, any wins collected during the base game can also we gambled in Swintt’s ever-present Risk feature, with this giving players the opportunity to double their current prize by correctly guessing the colour of a hidden card.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With both our ‘Book’ and ‘Pearl’ slots proving hugely popular with players, we thought why not give them the best of both worlds in Big Max Books and Pearls? Combining these two iconic features with classic symbols and sounds, the game has all the right ingredients to bet a huge hit at online casinos that supply Swintt slots.”

ELA Games’ King and Flame shortlisted for Best New Game Release at SiGMA Europe Awards 2026
ELA Games’ King and Flame has been named a finalist for Best New Game Release at the 2026 SiGMA Europe Awards. The awards are scheduled to take place at the Casino Maltese in Valletta, Malta, on May 27.
The company said the nomination reflects its approach of combining narrative design with slot math models. King and Flame is positioned as a medieval fantasy Hold and Win title built around a storyline that “flips classic fantasy tropes upside down,” with a prince unleashing a Dragon Queen.
According to ELA Games, the game includes coin symbols that pay their face value, Mystery Chests that can award instant prizes or trigger the Grand Jackpot, and a “Tamed by the Crown” feature where the Dragon Queen appears as an expanding Full Reel Wild. The studio also highlighted free spins with column-expanding coins and a Super Bonus Wheel that doubles rewards.
Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, said: “We’re very happy to see King and Flame get a nomination at the very well-regarded SiGMA Europe awards. I know the work everyone at the ELA team put into creating an intricate back story and graphic world for this slot. It is one of the most narrative-based titles we have released to date, and the care the team put into the design has really brought that story to life. It is wonderful to see that dedication noticed on such a prestigious stage.”
SiGMA has opened public voting for the category via its awards site.

New title adds three Diamond bonus features, a Collect Diamond mechanic and four jackpots up to 1,000x.
Playson has released a new slot title, 3 Supercharged Diamonds: Hold and Win, expanding its Hold and Win catalogue with three Diamond-driven bonus features and four jackpot prizes up to 1,000x.
The game’s Hold and Win Bonus Game uses a “3 Pots” mechanic, triggered when green, yellow or violet Diamond symbols land alongside their respective Diamonds positioned above the reels. Depending on the Diamonds that land, the bonus can activate an Expand Feature (3×5 grid), Multi Feature (multipliers on reels one and three starting at 2x and increasing up to 32x), or Stepper Feature (Bonus Diamonds remain in play and move down one position after each respin).
A Collect Diamond can land only on reel two during the Bonus Game. Playson said it holds its position for the round and accumulates the value of Bonus Diamonds that land before being applied to the Total Win at the end of the feature.
Jackpots can also land during the bonus round: Mini (15x), Minor (30x), Major (100x) and Grand (1,000x). Outside the bonus, any Diamond symbol in the Main Game can randomly trigger an Extra Diamonds Feature, which Playson said can add enough Diamonds to start the Bonus Game.
Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “3 Supercharged Diamonds: Hold and Win takes one of our most recognisable game mechanics and elevates it with a collection of dynamic new features designed to maximise excitement during every bonus round.
“By combining the Expand, Multi and Stepper features with the Collect Diamond and four jackpot opportunities, we have created a release that delivers strong entertainment value and varied gameplay experiences for players worldwide.”
