Pioneering software provider’s latest Premium release invites players on a magical journey to the Middle Kingdom where Free Spins and sticky wilds can lead to epic wins of 1,200x.

Malta, 03 May 2023: This month, sought-after slot producer, Swintt, is preparing to embark on an unforgettable Asian adventure in Jade Princess – an all-new addition to the studio’s popular Premium line-up that pays homage to the region’s rich history while delivering eye-catching wins of up to 1,200x.

Played out across a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, Jade Princess is another beautifully-designed Premium release that features all manner of eastern antiquities across its reels. Alongside classic ace-through-ten playing card values that each come with their own unique Asian twist, the game’s theme is further enhanced by the presence of ceremonial bowls, ancient tea sets and embroidered hand fans.

In addition to these staple symbols, players will also encounter a trio of special icons that are well worth keeping an eye out for. The first is the titular Jade Princess, which appears stacked across all five reels and provides a payline win when just two symbols are present, while the second is the dragon statue, which is both the slot’s highest-paying icon and a wild that can substitute for any other symbol.

The third – and arguably the most rewarding – is the bonus scatter symbol, which is represented by a lucky Chinese coin. Whenever three or more of these important icons appear anywhere on the reels during a base game spin, players will instantly receive 12 Free Spins as the game’s feature is triggered.

When this happens, the excitement levels will crank up a notch as an upbeat soundtrack kicks in and the sparkling lights illuminate the night sky in front of the game’s traditional pagoda background. Of course, this being a Free Spins feature in a Swintt slot, the upgrades aren’t merely cosmetic as the dragon statue will now lock in place for the duration of the feature whenever it appears on the reels.

Thanks to this game-changing enhancement, it’s possible for players to have multiple wilds stuck in place over the course of their Free Spins, with this greatly improving the odds of landing five-of-a-kind wins and reducing the game’s volatility while boosting the overall hit frequency to a generous 26.67%.

A final incentive that will already be familiar to fans of Swintt’s Premium range is the addition of a Risk feature, which can be activated after any winning spin. Whenever this optional mini-game is triggered, players will be prompted to guess the colour or suit of a hidden playing card, with this doubling or quadrupling their current payout until the maximum win is achieved or an incorrect selection is made.

David Mann, Chief Executive Office at Swintt, said: “With its rich culture, striking architecture and awe-inspiring artefacts, ancient China has provided a wealth of inspiration for our designers – and we think we’ve captured the most iconic aspects of this historic part of the world in our Jade Princess slot.

“The slot is built on the same fundamental principles of straightforward gameplay and easy-to-trigger payouts that have already made our Premium line-up so popular with fans, but also includes an engaging Free Spins feature that harnesses the power of sticky wilds to seriously boost players’ prizes.”
