QTech team unveils blueprint for new global gaming studio groupReading Time: 3 minutes

 

The brains behind Asia’s number-one games distributor to power GameFactory, as it seeks to close its venture round

 

The team behind QTech Games, Asia’s fastest-growing games distributor, is once again broadening its sphere of industry influence by announcing a breakthrough proposition in the launch of GameFactory, an embryonic global gaming studio with the remit to invest in and recruit up-and-coming studios from across the globe.

After an initial $3m money-raise for proof of concept, which is already underway, GameFactory intends to acquire or form partnerships with a series of gaming studios and empower them to continue developing their games independently, while GameFactory handles sales through a central sales force, utilising its existing distribution model. It’s all backed by an existing compliance and administration framework in addition to EU / UK licences.

Global CEO Markus Nasholm states that the typical investment will have between 5-10 games live, preferably generating revenues. This can pertain to a portfolio of games, standalone game titles, or exclusive distribution in certain markets.

The concept was devised after witnessing the exponential rise in the number of game development studios over the past 4-8 years. To which end, GameFactory now seeks to form a studio group of some 10-15 rising stars of igaming with which it will grow their combined global footprint.

GameFactory’s ultimate objective is to become the best casino content provider on the market – a super studio-group that offers a wide variety of top-quality games with regular releases which has the flexibility and freshness to take on the likes of NetEnt and Playtech in a B2B-supplier era that has yet to truly consolidate.

QTech Games already demonstrated its intent in this field last year, when it acquired a majority share in emerging Swedish studio Snowborn Games, whose first-class production, Portals, was launched on limited release in January. This new game is now exclusively available via the QTech Games platform.

Nasholm commented: “Time was when behemoths like Novomatic, Playtech, Microgaming and NetEnt dominated the gaming landscape. But now there are a few hundred studios chasing their coattails which have trouble growing, getting distribution and complying with increasing regulatory demands. Whatever the domain of discourse, QTech’s model has always been to ensure that genuine talent never gets crowded out of the conversation, and GameFactory is our response to this need.

“The trend for consolidation is industry-wide – we have seen this among casino operators and in the affiliate space. Indeed, my former employer Catena Media is a great example, showing the power of combining smaller outfits with a greater group. However, when combining, the danger is that breakout talents can lose their way and individuality in the process. And when you’re at scale-up stage, you can’t afford to risk that. GameFactory safeguards this principle with a strong set of central mechanics, a clear business ethos and a core sense of identity, supported by a team of experienced veterans.”

“Over the coming months, the initial goal is to complete the funding round, make the key investments and create a proof of concept, before embarking on the larger acquisition spree. We look forward to hearing from any interested studios and investors, and will unveil our key senior recruitments in the coming months”

“This is the next phase in our mission to become the largest provider of digital entertainment in Asia and beyond over the next few years. Indeed, we are presently very active in this space, looking to enlist small gaming studios with big ideas to foster a forward-thinking fellowship within GameFactory.”

QTech Games delegates are on site at this week’s ICE London 2019, where Asia’s number-one distributor will be looking to add to its burgeoning suite of worldwide relationships with both suppliers and operators. To book a meeting at ICE London, simply email: [email protected].

Play with the Ugliest, Quirkiest Pets Around in Stakelogic’s Fugly Pets

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Get your eyes ready because it’s time to take a trip to the pet centre to meet the ugliest, quirkiest, wildest-looking pets you’ve ever seen in the brand new slot, Fugly Pets, from Stakelogic.

Fugly Pets takes players to a banged-up old pet store to explore its collection of weird and charming, downright ugly pets. Meet a scruffy parrot, a catnip crazed kitty, and an unfortunate-looking little dog.

The slot uses a 5×5 grid with 3,125 ways to win on each spin and is packed with a plethora of unique and exciting bonus features.

Landing Bonus symbols trigger up to 15 Free Spins! Keep your eyes peeled for symbol multipliers of up to 64x landing on any spin. What’s more, these become persistent during the Free Spins, only adding to the game’s huge winning potential.

Roadkill might spell bad news for these fugly-looking creatures, but it is a great thing for players! The Roadkill symbol lands on reel five and will remain inactive until no cascades are possible. The Roadkill symbol then moves across the reels, destroying everything its path or turning it into Wilds.

Fugly Pets is a Stakelogic slot, so there is always something a little extra. If you thought those animals were ugly in regular size, wait until they land in super-size! Super Symbols can land in 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4, allowing players to win big!

Speaking of big wins, players can grab wins of up to 5,000x their stake in this slot, with RTP models up to 96% available.

Daniela Fricchione, Head of Account Management at Stakelogic, said: One thing we love to do at Stakelogic is to play with player expectations. When you think of a pet-themed slot, you imagine something cute and cuddly. Well, we’ve taken that rulebook and fed it to the dogs, putting a fresh spin on the genre with Fugly Pets.

It’s not just the theme that is unconventional, either. The game is jam-packed with special features, with the Roadkill bonus and Super Symbols really helping the slot stand out from the pack.
