Slash your way to wild wins in Sword King by Swintt’s Elysium Studios

New action-packed adventure from Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt sees players team up with an unstoppable warrior to send their winnings into the stratosphere
Get ready to conquer the realms and claim the treasure that’s rightfully yours in Sword King from Elysium Studios – Driven By Swintt – the new fantasy-themed adventure where Falling Swords and King Wilds could lead to colossal wins of up 1,124x to your bet.
Once again featuring the jaw-dropping levels of cinematic visuals that players have come to expect from Elysium Studios games, Sword King takes place to a backdrop of jagged mountains and bright blue skies, with the titular hero standing to the left of the reels ready to join the action.
On any random spin, the character can either jump across the screen swinging his sword to cleave a number of symbols into wilds or drive his blade into the ground to trigger an additional respin. On top of that, a special metre to the right of the reels will fill up every time a shield fragment symbol stops in view – and once all five pieces have been collected, the Falling Swords feature will be activated.
When this happens, lightning will flash across the sky as up to five giant sword symbols descend from the heavens to completely fill their respective reels. These will then transform into stacked wilds as the remaining symbols are spun, with this creating the potential for huge full table wins.
Last but not least, Sword King also boasts a Free Spins bonus round where both of these powerful features can trigger at any moment. Activated by landing three or more scatter symbols during the base game, players will receive up to a maximum of 15 Free Spins with both King Wilds and Falling Swords being added to the reels at random to really send their wins into the stratosphere.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “While Elysium Studios titles are already well-known for having immersive themes, eye-catching visuals and multiple exciting bonus rounds, the developer’s latest action-packed slot adventure – Sword King – really is a cut above!
“Following the story of a mighty warrior dedicated to defending his realm and sharing the spoils of war with players, the game is another incredible entry from the studio that offers a unique mix of features and we can’t wait to see how it performs for operators.”

Veikkaus Continues Preparations for the Partial Multi-license System Set to Open in 2027

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Veikkaus is continuing its preparations for the partial multi-license system set to open in 2027. The company aims to remain the market leader in the Finnish gambling sector in the coming years.
Veikkaus has been systematically preparing for the future for a long time. Efforts to strengthen the company’s competitiveness are ongoing: Veikkaus will continue to focus on its core business and, through this, ensure growth in gross gaming revenue in a responsible way.
Many gambling companies aiming to enter the Finnish market are actively preparing to challenge Veikkaus when the licensing market opens.
“Competition will certainly be very tough, as many signs already indicate. Veikkaus is a strong company that will succeed in the competition, but as an organization, we must transform to meet the new situation,” said Reija Laaksonen, EVP, People, Culture and Communications at Veikkaus.
As part of the company’s strategy, Veikkaus will initiate change negotiations affecting three different functions. In total, at the time the negotiation proposal was given, 75 Veikkaus employees are within the scope of the negotiations. The planned measures could, if implemented, lead to personnel impacts as defined in Section 16 of the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings, such as redundancies or unilateral changes to essential terms of employment.
According to current estimates, the negotiations may result in the termination of a total of 20–31 employment contracts and substantial changes to the terms of employment for 20–30 employees. At the same time, it is planned that 22–28 new roles and positions will be created within the functions involved in the negotiations.
“When targeting possible measures, Veikkaus will pay particular attention to the requirements of business operations and ensuring competence in line with Veikkaus’ strategy. Any measures will be implemented in accordance with applicable legislation,” said Laaksonen.
