Swintt Debuts Egypt King Pearl Upgrade With New Bonus Twist

Swintt has once again set its sights on ancient Egypt, returning to the mysterious world of pharaohs and lost treasures with its newest slot release, Egypt King Pearl Upgrade. Building on the success of earlier titles in the franchise — Egypt King and Egypt King Obelisk Quest — this latest game raises the stakes with fresh gameplay dynamics and amplified win potential.

A Revamped Journey Into Egyptian Riches

Set amid the glowing torches of a hieroglyph-covered temple, Egypt King Pearl Upgrade transports players to a richly detailed world of tombs and treasure. The slot's five-reel, five-payline format brings familiar visuals from the series — including explorers, Anubis statues, sarcophagi, and the all-seeing Eye of Horus — but introduces a transformative new bonus that redefines the game’s central mechanic.

That mechanic is the Pearl Upgrade Feature, a new evolution of Swintt’s well-known Pearl Respin system. This feature is activated when three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, transporting players to a new game grid for a high-stakes round of respins. Players start with three spins, and every time a new pearl symbol lands, the spin counter resets. Each pearl displays a prize amount — and the goal is to collect as many as possible before no more appear.

Bonus Gameplay With an Upgrade Twist

The feature intensifies with a twist: each newly landed pearl has the power to upgrade the value of other pearls in the same row, column, or both. This progressive boost increases the payout potential dramatically, turning ordinary pearls into lucrative rewards. The round continues until the board is either full or no new pearls appear during the remaining respins.

As described in the official release, “every new Pearl that lands enhance the value of existing Pearls in the same reel, row, or both, unlocking even greater rewards.” This mechanic significantly raises the excitement, especially as players aim for the ultimate prize — the Mega Jackpot, which is triggered by completely filling the grid with pearl symbols.

Jackpots and Instant Feature Access Raise the Stakes

In addition to the Mega Jackpot, players have the chance to win one of three other jackpots — Minor, Major, and Maxi. These can be claimed simply by landing a pearl symbol displaying the name of the respective jackpot during the Pearl Upgrade round. When the feature concludes, the corresponding jackpot amount is added to the player's total win.

The game is classified as high volatility, offering a maximum payout of2,500x the base bet during standard play, with even higher winnings possible during the bonus. For those eager to skip directly to the feature, Egypt King Pearl Upgrade includes a “Buy Feature Games” button, allowing players to instantly trigger the bonus for a price.

Developer’s Perspective on the Latest Launch

Swintt CEO David Mann emphasized how the company continues to innovate within the popular Egyptian slot genre, stating: “Ancient Egypt has proved to be a rich well of inspiration for our popular slot series and we’re constantly looking for new ways to build on this engaging theme to make each title even more exciting. In Egypt King Pearl Upgrade, we’ve done exactly that by giving our popular Pearl Respin feature a thrilling new dimension, and we’re sure the huge prizes on offer will make it a popular entry with fans of the series and newcomers alike.”

Expanding the Pearl Feature With a New Grid Format

An additional layer of complexity is added through the Pearl Feature's reel expansion mechanic. When players activate the feature with six pearl symbols, the reels split horizontally, changing the layout to six reels and three rows. The initial six pearls split and reposition, sticking in place throughout the duration of the bonus. Each new pearl that appears resets the spin counter to three, maintaining player momentum.

Should the player succeed in covering all positions with pearl symbols, the MEGA Prize of 1,000x the bet is awarded — a thrilling outcome that adds urgency and anticipation to every spin.

With its vibrant theme, strategic bonus structure, and rewarding jackpot mechanics, Egypt King Pearl Upgrade is positioned to become a standout entry in the Swintt portfolio. Fans of the series — and adventurous new players — will find plenty to uncover in this latest Egyptian expedition.
