Swintt makes a splash with new Aqua Lord slot
Swintt, the seafaring software provider behind splash hits Aloha Spirit XtraLock, The Crown and Candy Gold is back for an all-new underwater adventure in its latest feature-packed slot release, Aqua Lord.
The latest game to be added to Swintt’s line-up of Premium titles, Aqua Lord features five reels, five fixed paylines and all the trappings that players will already know and love from its classic slot collection. Action takes place to a backdrop of the ocean floor, while unique symbols including dolphins, ornate vases and jewelled gauntlets line-up alongside the more familiar playing card values.
The mighty Aqua Lord himself features as the game’s highest-value symbol – awarding a jaw-dropping maximum payout of 5,000x players’ bet – but other special symbols to look out for include the numbered pearl icons and the now-instantly-familiar “Book” scatters, both of which activate features.
First up, landing three or more pearl symbols anywhere on the reels will automatically trigger the slot’s Pearl Feature. This popular bonus round has already appeared in a number of Swintt Premium games and will instantly transport players to a new set of reels, where further pearls replace all other icons.
At the start of the feature, players will be granted an initial three free re-spins, but whenever a pearl lands, it will lock in place as the counter is reset. This process will continue until either no new pearl symbols appear or all 15 reel spaces have been filled, at which point the numerical values on all pearls will be totted up and players will be awarded an instant prize before being returned to the base game.
The next feature is Aqua Lord is the “Book” Free Spins round – and again it will be a familiar one to anyone who’s already played Swintt Premium slots. Activated whenever three or more “Book” scatter symbols appear, players will receive 10 Free Spins as a special mystery symbol is selected at random.
Should this symbol appear during the Free Spins, it will expand to fill its reel, creating additional winning pay lines and boosting the game’s hit rate to a healthy 19.5%. Naturally, if a higher value symbol is selected to expand, the potential for big wins increases dramatically; with full table wins now an increasing likelihood as players swim away with potentially bankroll-boosting feature payouts.
As with the majority of games in the Swintt Premium collection, Aqua Lord also features an optional Risk game which can be activated at the end of any winning base game spin. Should players choose to take part in this rewarding mini-game, they’ll be given the opportunity to boost the value of their current win by guessing the colour or suit of a hidden playing card, with multiple risk rounds available.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Swintt is certainly no stranger to the treasures that lie beneath the waves – and in our latest Premium release, Aqua Lord, we’re giving players the chance to take the plunge and swim away with maximum wins of up to 5,000x their selected stake.
“Designed with the same pick-up-and-play appeal as other games in our Premium collection, the new slot boasts two of the studio’s most iconic bonus rounds in “Book” Free Spins and the popular Pearl Feature, meaning there are plenty of ways for players to make a big splash from their base game spins.”

KSA Issues New Duty of Care Guidance for Gaming Arcades and Casinos
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has issued new guidance for gaming arcades and casinos to improve the implementation of their duty of care. The KSA previously visited gaming arcades across the country. These visits revealed that while most arcades are paying attention to their duty of care, implementation could be improved in some areas. The guidance the KSA is now sharing with license holders contains practical tools and explanations, but no new rules.
Duty of care of arcades
With the implementation of the Gambling Act (Wet Koa), the duty of care for gaming arcades has been further expanded. This means they are obligated to prevent and mitigate gambling addiction as much as possible. Since then, gaming arcades have taken steps to comply with this requirement. However, in practice, the stated good intentions and the relevant policy are not always sufficiently aligned. The KSA has discussed this with various parties within the sector. Based on the input from these discussions, the new guidance has been developed.
Guidance
The guidance for arcades includes resources that providers can use to properly fulfill their duty of care and better inform their employees. The guide provides explanations and examples of what arcades must do and what the KSA expects of them. It also includes an overview of frequently asked questions. In addition to the guidance, a poster and an animation have been developed to raise awareness among arcade employees about the duty of care.
Along with the duty of care guidance, arcades also received a Guideline for Identity and Cruks Verification. The KSA regularly receives questions from the sector about the Cruks exclusion register. This guideline addresses the operation of Cruks and the most common questions and problems.
KSA chairman Michel Groothuizen said: “Certain key factors of the duty of care are easier to monitor for online providers than in brick-and-mortar casinos. In our conversations with arcade owners, we’ve noticed that they want to do more with the duty of care, but sometimes still struggle with its proper implementation. With this new guidance, supplemented with informational materials for employees, we’re giving them new tools to do so. In this way, we’re working together to ensure that players are optimally protected even at brick-and-mortar providers.”
