Having unveiled ambitious plans to expand into further regulated markets at the start of 2024, Swintt’s portfolio is now certified in eleven countries including Malta, Germany and the Netherlands, but this latest approval represents the company’s maiden entry into North America.

This means that not only will Ontarian players now be able to enjoy popular SwinttGames releases like the fan favourite slot Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM, but also newer upcoming games from Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt.

The product of Swintt’s acquisition of Elysium Studios earlier this year, the collaboration has resulted in a new line-up of releases being added to the software provider’s roster, with these games combing immersive themes and features with the very latest in slot design and graphics.

Tipsy Charms, the first game in the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up, has already launched to great effect – and with the Mesopotamian-themed adventure, Law of Gilgamesh, scheduled for May 30th, there’s plenty for Ontarian players to look forward to in the coming weeks.

With all this and more on the horizon for the province in the second half of 2024, everyone at Swintt is excited about entering the regulated Canadian market for the first time and the company has high hopes that the approval will further underline its credentials as a leading global provider.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Swintt is delighted to have received AGCO approval for its games in Ontario and we’re very excited to now have the chance to take this new and dynamic market by storm. Being certified to launch in Ontario is definitely a huge step for the company that will enable us to showcase our brand to new audiences on the global stage.”

The new cluster-pays slot tips its hat to video arcade games of yore, inviting players to blast a cascade of fluffy critters in a 5X5 grid embedded inside an arcade game mechanism. Meanwhile, the 50,000x win potential ramps up engagement levels to the max. The game also introduces a brand-new Bonus Panels mechanic.

Trigger Happy is a symbol-matching game, where each winning symbol is removed and replaced by new ones falling from above. On every spin and reaction, a target sight will place a wild in a random position on the grid. Meanwhile, two bonus panels could reveal multipliers, bombs or trigger coin bonuses.

When a multiplier aligns with the target symbol’s final position, it will be applied to the wild in that position. When multipliers align in both panels, they are multiplied together for the target wild. When a Bomb appears, it removes all symbols from its row or column and adds up to four wilds.

When a Target’s final position aligns with Trigger Coins in both Bonus Panels, it triggers the free spins round. During free spins, there are double the targets and double the wilds, and landing Trigger Coins in the targets will trigger yet more free spins where multipliers can be up to 10X in value or 100x with Bonus Buy.

Can’t wait to hit the bonus round? Use Win Exchange to convert your big wins into free spins. Alternatively, dive straight into the action with Bonus Buy. 

Nik Robinson, BTG CEO, said: “You’re in for a critter-exploding, bonus-chasing treat and will have as much fun playing this game as we did while making it. Trigger Happy is a homage to the games we played when we were young. Who knew hanging around arcades playing video games would become an explosive fun experience online!”

Nicholas Peters, Chief Business Development Officer of Europe at Evolution, said: “Trigger Happy offers an exhilarating game, seamlessly intertwining BTG’s mesmerising visuals with their distinctive gameplay flair. With its innovative targeting system and dynamic Bonus-Panel mechanic, this game effortlessly transports the excitement of the arcade right onto your device.”

These include groundbreaking games likeBarbarossa, Book of Books, DragonBlox, and Peter Hunter.

It is no secret that US expansion has been a core part of Play’n GO’s global strategy for some time now, and teaming up with a brand as synonymous with the US gaming industry as DraftKings are, is a real signal of intent for the Swedish-founded company. 

With this announcement, DraftKings customers in Michigan will be able to enjoy Play’n GO’s flagship titles, such as Book of Dead, Piggy Blitz, and Boat Bonanza Colossal Catch. The state of New Jersey will join Michigan in the coming weeks, with more states to follow through the rest of 2023.

This relationship with DraftKings will be both commercial and technical – it involves full and direct integration of Play’n GO’s platforms, and follows Play’n GO’s strategy of working directly with US operators. It is one of the earliest steps on Play’n GO’s journey in the US, and is set to be an exciting one, with DraftKings well established as one of the largest iGaming operators in all of North America.
