Swintt serves up free spins and huge wins in Big Max Super Pearls

November 23, 2023

With Swintt’s signature “pearl” feature having already proved a huge hit with online slot players, the in-demand software provider has now unveiled arguably the most ambitious version of the popular bonus yet in the brand-new Premium release, Big Max Super Pearls.

A highly volatile title with five reels and 50-fixed paylines, Big Max Super Pearls features a classic fruit-themed aesthetic and a range of audio effects that sound just like those found in traditional land-based slots. Symbols to feature in the game include cherries, strawberries, lemons, grapes and plums, with BARs and lucky sevens accounting for the higher payouts and the familiar fox acting as the slot’s wild.

What sets Big Max Super Pearls apart from traditional fruit machines, however, is the game’s Pearl feature. Activated whenever six or more pearl scatters appear anywhere in view, this exciting extra sees players whisk away to a new set of reels where they’ll initially be granted three free spins.

During these bonus games, an entirely new set of icons will come into play, with players now able to get their hands on instant cash prizes, jackpots and a host of handy power-ups. Like in other “pearl” games from the provider, landing any of these symbols will reset the free spins counter and prolong the bonus feature, but as they continue spinning, players will be able to unlock bigger and better prizes.
Initially taking place across three rows, any pearls that appear will spin to reveal a random prize amount, but an arrow icon will extend the gameboard by activating the next available row. A plus symbol, meanwhile, will increase players’ free spins total by one, while other special icons will upgrade winnings of up to five pearls, multiply their winnings by two and instantly award the combined value of all pearls.

Lastly – and arguably most importantly – as they spin, players will encounter special chest symbols. When one of these important icons appears, a counter will start at 10 and decrease after each subsequent free spin. Should players remain in the feature until this counter hits zero, the chest will open to reveal one of four jackpots, with Minor, Major, Maxi and Mega prizes all randomly up for grabs.
The Pearl feature can continue indefinitely until either all available reel spaces have been filled or the free spins counter hits zero without a new symbol being added, with this resulting in the value of all pearls and jackpots collected being awarded as a prize as players are returned to the base game.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “When we first unveiled the “pearl” bonus round in SwinttPremium games, we received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from players – and we’ve been refining the feature ever since to offer more thrills, jackpots and overall prize winning potential.
“In Big Max Super Pearls, we’ve taken this concept to all new heights by not only offering power-ups that expand the total number of rows, increase players’ free spins counter and award all manner of additional payouts, but also provide access to four rewarding local jackpots. With all this and more, it’s one of our most ambitious Premium releases to date and we can’t wait for players to take it for a spin.”
