Polskie Kasyna Online Interview – Emilia Kazberuk
Please tell our readers a little about yourself, your experiences and how you came to join Swintt.
I'm Emilia, Senior Account Manager at Swintt. I've been with the company for almost four years now. When I first joined, we were operating out of a much smaller office with just five people in the team. It felt like a home, with a real family atmosphere. It's been incredibly great to see the company grow, develop new games, and watch our team expand over the years.
What was the inspiration behind founding Swintt, and where did the company name come from?
The inspiration behind the name Swintt was to create a name centred around winning and delivering high-quality gaming experiences. We wanted "Win" to be part of the name to reflect this, the team brainstormed a few ideas, and "Swint" was the most liked. However, it was unavailable, so we added an extra "t," and we loved how the name turned out, along with the visuals that came with it.
What sets Swintt apart from other gaming companies in the iGaming industry?
What makes Swintt unique is our team full of very passionate people with a vast gaming experience and our diverse lineup of games that appeal to customers across a range of markets. Our SwinttPremium slots are classic and familiar, featuring traditional symbols and straightforward features. On the other hand, our SwinttGames and Elysium Studios games cater to younger, emerging markets with their modern graphics, engaging themes, and innovative mechanics.
Another thing is that we focus on expanding presence in as many regulated markets and platforms as possible. This ensures that we can reach and engage with players globally while offering them a variety of gaming experiences tailored to their preferences.
How does Swintt approach creating new online games?
It's important to keep in mind that trends can vary a lot depending on the market. What's popular in one market might not necessarily be a hit in another. At Swintt, we handle this by offering a diverse game lineup that caters to different types of players as mentioned previously.
We also keep a close eye on player feedback to make sure all our games are well-liked and optimised for their specific markets.
Can you tell me about the biggest challenges Swintt faced last year and how he overcame them?
I believe the biggest challenge we faced and are constantly facing is keeping up with constantly shifting regulations. As a software provider focused on regulated markets, we are present in many regions and must always stay ahead of any new rules or amendments that might impact our current strategies. We tackle this challenge head-on, as our compliance team is always on top of the game when it comes to these shifting regulations. Another significant challenge is the increasing level of competition. The market is already saturated, with new studios opening regularly. To stay ahead, we continuously innovate and think of new ways to create unique content that appeals to all kinds of players.
What do you think are the most innovative features of Swintt games?
Elysium Studios is definitely at the top of the list for most innovative features in the Swintt portfolio, especially in our most recent release: Law of Gilgamesh which boasts five exciting features, one of them is the Tower Bonus where the first three levels of the tower present a multiplier win or the possibility to climb up the tower and the multipliers increase each level.
Another thing worth mentioning is the Xtra features, which introduce unique mechanics that set our in-house games apart. One standout example is the XtraLock™ feature, prominently featured in one of our best-performing games, Aloha Spirit XtraLock™.
What is your favourite Swintt game, and why?
My favourite Swintt game has to be Seven Seven Pots and Pearls. It's a classic fruity slot game that has become super popular, especially with players in the German and Dutch markets. What I love about it is how easy it is to get into—everyone knows the traditional fruit slot theme, so it's an easy sell.
What upcoming releases can we expect from Swintt?
We have a lot of exciting releases in the pipeline, following the great results we had from Law of Gilgamesh, we’re really excited about the upcoming games from our recent acquisition of Elysium Studios: Elysium VIP and Fox Tale, which promise to bring a unique experience to our lineup. We're looking forward to launching these upcoming games soon and can't wait for players to enjoy them.
What are Swintt's main goals and priorities for this year?
Given our recent Ontario certification, our focus will be expanding our game portfolio with new releases from Elysium Studios to attract new players in this market. Next on our list is Greece as our next target market. Additionally, we are also working on to adding titles to our SwinttStudios programme. This includes releasing more titles from current studios while also onboarding new boutique studios.
