QTech Games, the number-one games distributor for Asia and all emerging markets, has launched with noted casino-games supplier FA CHAI in a deal which adds more muscle to its definitive product portfolio, allowing its platform clients to access another multifaceted catalogue.

Renowned for its exceptional game design and forward-thinking tech, FA CHAI also harnesses different mechanics and features, including Extra Bet and Buy features. All of its high-quality content has been GLI-certified, guaranteeing fairness and security, while its gaming suite brings together a varied mix of engaging slots, fishing, arcade and table games.

FA CHAI’s most popular titles and recent releases include: Lucky Fortunes, Chinese New Year, Sugar Bang Bang, Night Market, Zeus, Golden Genie. While these hits are also complemented by immersive 3D fishing games like Star Hunter and Monkey Key Fishing. Accordingly, these games now all form part of the progressive portfolio made available to QTech Games, its partners and the culturally-varied proclivities of their players.

FA CHAI is a rising-star studio that has been providing breakout gaming content across Asia for over five years. While, as the fastest-growing distributor in Asia in recent history, the QTech Games platform continues to boast the broadest gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, alongside 24/7 local-language support.

QTech Games’ CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “FA CHAI’s state-of-the-art studio has been delivering a deeper, more engaging experience for players across Asia’s patchwork quilt of gaming preferences, so we were immediately impressed. At QTech Games, we recognise the industry’s need for one partner for all emerging markets, and naturally one of the key components for sustained success is having all the right games and products readily at your disposal.

“Asian operators don’t necessarily care if you have the “traditional” game providers. You need positive differentiation and FA CHAI brings that in spades. After all, if you don’t have the fishing game in China, there’s little chance of becoming successful! And it’s a similar story in other markets – just take the Andar Bahar card game in India, or pachinko in Japan, as instructive examples.

“FA CHAI’s exceptional game design and tech represent an organic addition for our leading distribution model, equipping our operators and their players with a more engaging gaming experience. At the same time, we are delighted to be in a position to offer FA CHAI a gateway to new markets, improved visibility and reach, and plenty of opportunities to grow as a brand.”

The Gaming Team at FA CHAI, added: “We’re delighted to have teamed up with one of the sector’s platform powerhouses. Our games are known for their compelling gameplay, superior graphics and a unique ability to engage players from all walks of life – and we recognise that no-one does diversity and across emerging markets quite like QTech Games!

“As a result, we are thrilled to add more authentic and original Asian flavour to QTech Games’ deep well of gaming verticals, and we look forward to their platform taking our games to fresh audiences across more growth territories.”

With the summer of football heating up, FootAR is showing how live sports can be enhanced with augmented reality. It has created a real-time companion that gamifies the sports experience and emulates player movements with 3D foosball-like figures, adding smart stats and prizes for fans.

FootAR has already made its mark in Portugal, where two notable media organisations have integrated it into their coverage. GMG (Jornal de Notícias) and SportsMultimedia (VSports) use FootAR to bring a 3D experience to Euro 2024 fans.

FootAR is one of 22 companies in the Portuguese games development and creative industries cluster eGamesLab. This ambitious R&D project led out of Madeira aims to attract and develop new talent and technology focused on the growing national video game industry.

FootAR’s platform went live earlier this year. The initial rollout covered Portuguese league games, partnering with some of the biggest Portuguese clubs like SC Braga and CD Nacional before expanding to cover all the matches at Euro 2024. It offers real-time statistics, in-depth analysis, and seamless integration for news outlets covering live games on their websites.

Fans can relive every goal, track every pass, and stay connected to the game with real-time updates and AR-enhanced visuals. The technology allows fans to rewatch the most significant moments in a live game and view them from multiple angles, together with an accompanying audio commentary.

“We understand the insatiable appetite for football data and the desire to go beyond the final score,” says David Olim, Co-Founder of FootAR. “FootAR empowers fans to delve deeper into the action, following their favourite players, teams, and leagues, and is the perfect way for enthusiasts to analyse the beautiful game – but that’s just the start. As a father of two young children, my goal is to shape how younger generations immerse themselves in these communal experiences. Looking to the future, our interests go way beyond sports. We are starting with football, but within five years, we will have personalised experiences for clubs, artists, and brands to build their own interactive events.

Key Features:

Augmented Reality – relive the match’s key moments from multiple angles through 3D AR visuals, and get closer to the action with real-time data overlays to follow the game how you want to.

Custom Data Suite – access in-depth statistics for players and teams such as expected goals, pass accuracy and tackles lost. In-game notifications can be customised, ensuring key moments in the game are never missed..

Audio Commentary – FoorAR can sync with local radio broadcasts, creating a combination of live commentary and live data which really brings events to life.

With FootAR, new avenues for monetizing audience engagement and sponsors are available to media companies and clubs looking for a solution to drive greater fan engagement, as well as opening up new revenue streams through in-game activations.

Fans can transform their football experience today by downloading FootAR for free on Android and iOS and using the Web/Desktop app. Apple VisionPro and Meta Quest versions of the experience are also being developed and will be released in Q3 2024.
