Swintt gets fresh ‘n’ fruity with new Extra Win X slot
In-demand software developer’s latest premium release serves up three reels of fruit-filled fun and plenty of prize-winning potential
Swintt, the hit software studio behind sci-fi Christmas caper Santa vs Aliens and the head-banging Rock N Ways Xtraways, has announced it will be treating players to a fresh and fruity new release this month with the launch of Extra Win X.
The latest slot in the popular developer’s line-up of premium titles, Extra Win X combines the satisfyingly straightforward gameplay of a classic three-reel fruit machine with an innovative bonus wheel mechanic that has the potential to increase the value of players wins by up to 800x. It is the sequel to the original Extra Win, which has been a strongly performing game since its launch across all markets.
Featuring vibrant visuals and casino-style sound effects, Extra Win X boasts all the staple symbols you’d expect to find on a retro-themed slot, with cherries, oranges, lemons, and plums lining up alongside higher-value icons such as liberty bells and lucky red sevens across the game’s five pay lines.
While all regular base game wins can be boosted via a gamble feature that sees players bet on either the color or suit of a random playing card, the real money-spinner in Extra Win X is undoubtedly the Full Table feature. Activated whenever players completely fill the reels with any one of the four fruit symbols, they’ll be whisked away to the Feature Wheel, where huge prize multipliers are up for grabs.
When the feature begins, players will be presented with a prize wheel displaying eight segments that include single prize wins, 2x prize wins, and the all-important X symbol. A glowing light will then circle the wheel, before eventually stopping on one of the segments and awarding the corresponding prize.
If players are fortunate enough to land on the X symbol, they’ll be taken to a secondary prize wheel where bigger multipliers of 3x and 5x their bonus-triggering win can be collected. On both this and the Feature Wheel, players can continue spinning until a red “end” segment is hit, though every time a multiplier is claimed, its segment will turn red and the chance of exiting the feature will be increased.
Should players successfully manage to hit every prize segment on both wheels before the feature comes to an end, they’ll win a jackpot of 800x their stake before heading back to the base game reels.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “Combining classic slot imagery, casino-style gameplay and innovative bonus features, Swintt’s range of premium slots have always been a great choice for players who want to dive straight into the action – and Extra Win X is certainly no exception.
“Featuring an easy-to-trigger prize wheel that can award up to 800x players’ bet, Extra Win X provides plenty of payout potential while remaining true to its traditional fruit machine roots and we’re sure it’s going to prove a popular new addition at all of our online casino partners this month.”

Veikkaus’ active preparation towards the new gambling system, which will launch in 2027, continues.
As part of the new strategy, Veikkaus held change negotiations in the Betting and Online Casino operations in the autumn. The change negotiation process has now been completed. Following the change negotiations, 14 employment relationships ended and 19 Veikkaus employees underwent significant changes in their employment relationships.
“We had to make decisions that were painful from a human perspective, but they are necessary for the future of the company. I would like to thank those who will no longer be with us for their hard work,” said Business Director Jarkko Nordlund.
According to Nordlund, Veikkaus is now creating a new organizational structure that will prepare the company for the coming years.
“Digitalization is also strongly driving our industry. International competition and the pace of development are really fierce. Veikkaus has decades of fine traditions and a lot of good expertise as a company. Alongside these, we now need the kind of professionalism that will enable us to serve our customers even better and more individually.”
The company is recruiting dozens of new digital channel and betting professionals over the coming year.
“We need more expertise for Veikkaus that will make us even stronger and more competitive in the new market situation. We are also looking beyond Finland’s borders. According to current estimates, more than 30 new positions will open by next summer. We want to be strong, growing and profitable in the future,” Nordlund said.
The Parliament intends to have the new Gambling Act passed by the end of 2025. When the law comes into force, it will open up the opportunity for other gambling companies, in addition to Veikkaus, to apply for, for example, sports betting and online casino licenses in the Finnish market. According to the current estimate, other gambling companies could also start operating with a license in Finland during 2027.
Lottery games, cardboard tickets and physical slot machines will remain exclusive to Veikkaus in the future.
