QTech Games opens new Tech Hub in Malaga, Spain
Emerging-markets leader lays down roots and looks to scale up along Spain’s Costa Del Sol at the intersection between Africa, Europe and LatAm
QTech Games, the leading game distributor across all emerging markets, is founding a new Tech Hub in Malaga on the south coast of Spain. The initial aim is to establish two key tech units (a Connect Team to enable supplier integrations; and a QT Hybrid Team supporting its new retail solution) to drive innovation and software development.
The central aim is to further diversify QTech Games and its tech capabilities from a well-positioned European base. This Malaga hub will allow QTech to scale its tech org more quickly and cement the foundation to ensure it always stays ahead of any innovative trends or requirements in technology, working from a new base whose proximate geography, standard time and language match up well with targeted regions in Africa, Europe and LatAm.
In view of its accompanying hiring programme to expand its technical team, QTech Games is also partnering with ESR Talent, a global leader in executive search and recruitment services for iGaming, in order to find the best talent in the region. The positions initially sought include but are not limited to: Team Leaders, Software Developers, Laravel Full-Stack Devs and Quality Assurance (QA) Engineers.
QTech Games’ CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We are delighted to be opening a new tech hub, and look forward to building our team by adding top Team Leads, highly talented developers and experienced engineers into our tech function. Malaga is a fantastic igaming location, and we can’t wait to welcome our new colleagues!
“This is a sign of how QTech Games is investing in new technology and product dev – and the personnel that power them – while securing a prime location like Malaga immediately puts our tech hub at the intersection between Africa, Europe and LatAm. The time zone overlap with Africa’s emerging-yet-fragmented market is especially appealing.”
Helena Scone, ESR Talent’s Director of Gaming & Fintech, added: “We’re thrilled to partner with QTech Games, as they gear up to launch their incredible new tech hub on the Costa del Sol. Malaga is the perfect place for tech innovation: cutting-edge infrastructure, connectivity, a tech-friendly atmosphere, and a great cost of living. With a wealth of talent pouring out of the University of Malaga and a strong network of tech companies, the opportunities are endless.”

Hold tight in Bucking Rider – Play’n GO’s next Crashback™ game
Play’n GO launches Bucking Rider, the latest arcade-style crash game to feature the studio’s proprietary Crashback™ mechanic. Designed to bring excitement and simplicity to all players, this title is a calculated buck from the norm – inviting players to test their nerve on a wild bull ride that can soar up to 5000x the bet.
Bucking Rider swaps traditional slot reels for fast-paced decision-making. As the multiplier ticks up from 1x to a potential 5000x, players must choose the perfect moment to cash out – or risk getting thrown as the bull bucks the rider. And with the Crashback™ feature now making a return, there’s a second shot on the line. If players cash out, the ride keeps going allowing them to hop back in for a shot at an even bigger multiplier.
The game’s dusty rodeo aesthetic and snappy animations bring the tension of a live arena to players. There’s no need to chase symbols or paylines – Bucking Rider is about pure risk versus reward, putting the reins directly in the player’s hands.
This release builds on the foundations laid by Miner Donkey Rider, and looks to be yet another fantastic release featuring an innovative new mechanic continuing Play’n GO’s drive to push genre boundaries, as with games like Legacy of Gems Blitzways™. Fans of arcade-style titles and casino newcomers alike will find Bucking Rider a striking mix of skill, timing and spectacle.
George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, said: “Bucking Rider is designed to shake things up. With the Crashback™ feature, players aren’t just watching – they’re making split-second decisions that can turn into serious rewards. It’s a bold format that expands what a casino game can be.”
This isn’t just another ride – it’s a test of nerve, and one players will want to take again and again.
