Swintt
Swintt is a Malta-based slot studio, founded in May 2019 and now part of the Glitnor Group. It made its name with the SwinttPremium range, a set of slots built to feel like the cabinet machines you find in Central and Eastern European arcades and land venues rather than the feature-heavy video slots most online studios ship. If you have ever played a fruit-style cabinet in a Polish or German bar, that is the reference point Swintt is deliberately chasing.

The casinos listed on this page all carry Swintt’s games. The studio is a business-to-business supplier, so it does not run any casino itself; your account, deposits, withdrawals and support all sit with the operator. What Swintt provides is the games and the maths behind them, delivered into a casino’s lobby next to other providers.

The Premium range: slots built to feel like land-based cabinets
SwinttPremium is the reason to know the name. Rather than chase the elaborate bonus mechanics that dominate the online market, these titles recreate the look, pace and simple reel logic of the AWP-style cabinets that are common across mainland Europe. Fruit and seven symbols, short paytables, steady low-to-medium wins and no long tutorial before you understand what is happening. It is a narrow brief, and Swintt leans into it. For a player who finds modern slots overloaded, or who grew up on physical machines, the Premium series is a real departure from what a studio like Play’n GO or NetEnt puts out.
Who owns Swintt, and the Microgaming pedigree behind it
Swintt was set up by David Flynn, who ran operations at Microgaming and was chief executive of NYX Interactive before that, so the studio started with senior land-based and online experience rather than as a first-time venture. Flynn handed the Swintt chief executive role to David Mann, the company’s first hire, in 2022 and moved up to run its parent, the Glitnor Group, where he still sits on the Swintt board. That ownership chain is unusual: Glitnor also runs its own consumer casinos, so unlike most game studios Swintt sits inside a group that operates as well as supplies.
Beyond Premium: Select, Live and the Elysium catalogue
Swintt is not only the Premium line. SwinttSelect is its range of original video slots with the bonus rounds, free spins and Hold and Win features you would expect from a modern provider. SwinttLive supplies streamed table games such as roulette and baccarat, competing in a space led by Evolution, and SwinttGamify adds tournament and mission layers that operators can run on top of the games. In 2024 the studio bought Stockholm developer Elysium Studios and folded it in as an “Elysium Studios, driven by Swintt” vertical that produces cinematic, higher-volatility slots aimed at a more experienced audience, a clear contrast to the plain Premium titles. Everything is built in HTML5 and runs in a browser, so there is nothing to download on desktop or mobile, and Swintt writes and certifies its own games rather than licensing an engine, which puts it firmly in the proprietary developer camp.
Where Swintt is licensed
As a supplier, Swintt holds a business-to-business licence from the Malta Gaming Authority under reference MGA/B2B/745/2019, and its UK games run under a UK Gambling Commission supplier licence held by Swintt Malta Ltd, so British-licensed casinos can carry them legally. It is also approved in Sweden by Spelinspektionen, and in November 2025 it cleared Italy’s ADM certification, taking its Elysium titles live there and making Italy its thirteenth regulated market. Early in 2026 it launched King’s Gold Hold and Win with the Italian operator Starcasino.it under a short exclusivity window. These supplier approvals are separate from the licence held by the casino you actually sign up with, which runs the account checks, anti-money-laundering process and responsible-gambling tools.
How we assess slot studios
When we rate a provider we look at the things a marketing budget cannot change: the standard of its regulators, whether the games are its own work or rebadged, how openly it publishes RTP, and how long it has been trading. Swintt scores well on regulation and originality, holds serious licences and has a distinctive product in the Premium range. The honest caveats are reach and depth. Its catalogue is smaller than the veteran studios, the Premium slots are deliberately simple and will bore anyone who wants big bonus rounds, and an operator can sometimes load a lower RTP build of a game, so it is worth checking the figure in the information screen before you play.
What is Swintt best known for?
Its SwinttPremium range. These slots are built to copy the look and feel of the cabinet machines found in Central and Eastern European arcades and bars, with fruit and seven symbols, short paytables and steady low-to-medium wins rather than heavy bonus features.

What is Elysium Studios?
A Stockholm developer that Swintt bought in 2024 and now runs as an 'Elysium Studios, driven by Swintt' vertical. It makes cinematic, higher-volatility slots aimed at experienced players, and its titles were the first Swintt games to go live in Italy after the 2025 ADM certification.
