Swintt expands in Italy with Starcasino.it partnership and exclusive King’s Gold Hold & Win launch
The growth of the Italian iGaming market continues to be driven by operators and providers increasingly focused on the quality of their content. In this rapidly evolving landscape, the newly signed agreement between Swintt and Starcasino.it stands out as one of the most significant developments of recent weeks. The provider, fresh from obtaining ADM certification, is expanding its presence in the country through a partnership with one of Italy’s most popular platforms, bringing with it a selection of next-generation titles designed to redefine the gaming experience for local players.
A new chapter for Swintt in the Italian regulated market
After securing authorisation from the Customs and Monopolies Agency in recent months, Swintt had already made its intention to strengthen its operations in Italy very clear. The partnership with Starcasino.it, therefore, represents a natural step in the company’s wider expansion strategy. The platform – already recognised as one of the country’s main hubs for certified gaming content – has now introduced the titles from Swintt’s Elysium Studios range, starting this week.
The arrival of these games is more than just an expansion of the catalogue; it represents a genuine technological upgrade. Elysium Studios is among the provider’s most dynamic and distinctive product lines, characterised by refined themes, innovative mechanics and a visual approach designed to stand out in an increasingly crowded market.
One-week exclusive access to King’s Gold Hold & Win
One of the most relevant aspects of the agreement is undoubtedly the one-week exclusive access to the newly launched King’s Gold Hold & Win. This gives Starcasino.it players the opportunity to be the first in Italy to experience a slot title that has already captured attention in other regulated markets.
King’s Gold is not merely another addition to the catalogue. With wins of up to 30,000x stake and three independent progress bars – each capable of triggering its own Hold & Win feature – the game perfectly embodies Elysium Studios’ creative philosophy. Vibrant graphics, fast-paced action and an interactive design are now trademarks of the brand.
This temporary exclusivity offers Starcasino.it a competitive advantage, positioning the platform as the first in the Italian market to provide premium content ahead of other operators.
A product line that captivates players
The partnership does not stop at King’s Gold. Other flagship titles such as Law of Gilgamesh and I Hate Fairytales are also debuting on Starcasino.it, both widely appreciated internationally for their distinctive narrative worlds and layered gameplay structures.
Players on the platform will therefore gain access to the full Elysium Studios catalogue, giving them the opportunity to explore slots built around strong visual identities, multi-level mechanics and high replay value. According to industry analysts, these qualities represent one of the strongest trends in today’s iGaming landscape.
Strategic benefits for both parties
For Starcasino.it, the collaboration with Swintt is an opportunity to further reinforce its reputation as a leading operator within the Italian market. Expanding its catalogue with premium titles contributes to user retention and strengthens differentiation from competitors.
Swintt, in return, benefits from the visibility offered by a platform with a large and active player base. Distributing Elysium Studios titles through such a well-established operator amplifies the provider’s impact and accelerates its positioning within the regulated Italian market.
Statements from the companies
Senior figures from both organisations highlighted the strategic value of the partnership.
Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, emphasised the importance of Italy in the company’s roadmap: “Since being granted ADM approval to offer games in Italy, we’ve been steadily increasing our foothold in the market and are thrilled to have the opportunity to do so again by partnering with Starcasino.it. With a deal now in place, Starcasino customers will be able to enjoy all the great titles in our Elysium Studios range, while also enjoying one week of exclusive access to our huge recent hit, King’s Gold Hold & Win.”
The sentiment was echoed by Starcasino.it and its parent company, Betsson Group.
Fabio Denegri, Business Director Italy at Betsson Group, commented: “Games in Swintt’s Elysium Studios catalogue have already proven incredibly popular with Italian players, so we’re delighted to now be able to offer the full line-up at Starcasino.it. Crowned by a one-week exclusivity period for King’s Gold Hold & Win, hosting these exciting titles will enable us to offer an even wider range of casino content to players, further strengthening our position as one of Italy’s leading operators.”
A sign of the Italian iGaming market’s growing maturity
The agreement between Swintt and Starcasino.it confirms a broader trend: the Italian iGaming sector is entering a phase of consolidation and increased content quality. Players are becoming more demanding, increasingly seeking curated, original and high-standard experiences aligned with European market expectations. Deals such as this highlight how innovative providers view Italy not only as a growing market but also as fertile ground for the introduction of advanced products and long-term partnerships.
