Swintt get ready to make some noise in Bellmania

Sought-after software provider’s new Premium game pairs retro slot nostalgia with a thrilling feature where striking all the right notes can lead to a crescendo of wins
With the SwinttPremium range famed for combining classic symbols with forward-thinking bonus features, this month the in-demand provider has upped the ante once more by inviting players to dance their way through a sparkling symphony of sounds in Bellmania.
Played out across a traditional 5×3 gameboard with five fixed paylines, Bellmania features all the iconic hallmarks of a land-based slot machine as fresh fruits, BARs, diamonds and crowns jostle for space on the reels with lucky sevens and the golden bell scatters that give the game its name.
These last two symbols, in particular, hold the key to raising the decibel level and unlocking the slot’s biggest wins, with lucky sevens doubling the value of any payline wins that they feature in and three or more bell scatters instantly triggering Bellmania’s rewarding free spins bonus round.
Once this exciting feature is activated, players will be granted an initial 15 free spins, with the added incentive that all wins will be trebled. On top of that, lucky sevens still retain their 2x multiplier and can combine to dazzling effect, potentially triggering a maximum jackpot of 6,000x.
Should players hit all the right notes and land a further three scatter symbols, they’ll prolong the feature with an extra 15 free spins, with this effect capable of stacking multiple times to extend the bonus indefinitely and keep each round ringing out with even more prize-winning possibilities.
Of course, if players don’t want to build their way up to this crescendo in the base game, they can also access the free spins directly by using the “Buy Feature” button, with this giving them instant excitement and all the benefits of manually hitting the bonus for an additional fee of 100x the bet.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Combining the timeless charm of land-based slots with an exciting, multiplier-driven bonus feature, Bellmania is a thrilling new addition to the SwinttPremium line-up. Filled with fruity favourites, the game serves up a dazzling symphony of wins that’s sure to hit the right notes with retro slot fans and modern players alike.”

The event, held under the guidance of SmartSoft’s Regional Commercial Head, Beka Kipiani, unfolded in Tbilisi against a backdrop of Georgian tradition, art, and world-renowned hospitality.

SmartSoft’s innovative collection of arcade-style casino games and premium slots is redefining the casino experience by blending skill-based mechanics with immersive gameplay to create groundbreaking crash-style games and other non-traditional casino content. Among SmartSoft’s most popular titles is JetX, an adrenaline-fueled crash game where players bet on the soaring trajectory of a jet plane. With its thrilling risk-reward mechanics and social multiplayer appeal, JetX has captured the attention of gamers across the world.
Beka Kipiani, SmartSoft’s Regional Commercial Head, added: “Hosting Groove’s Nathalie and our many other industry friends in Georgia was both a pleasure and a privilege. We believe in the power of local pride and global ambition, Groove understands that language. This wasn’t just a company event; it was a celebration of partnership, trust, and shared growth.”
As Groove continues to expand its global network of premium gaming partners, experiences like these highlight the power of in-person collaboration in crafting tomorrow’s success stories. Groove’s 15,000+ game portfolio, powered by 150+ elite providers including SmarttSoft, already stands as one of the most comprehensive in iGaming.
Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and COO of Groove Technologies, said: “Groove thrives on relationships; real, human partnerships that evolve beyond emails and dashboards. Events like this give our people, like Nathalie, the chance to connect deeply with partners like SmartSoft, to understand their market, and to share a bit of our Groove DNA while embracing theirs. Georgia delivered beauty, insight, and opportunity in equal measure.”
