QTech adds Black Lagoon games to its emerging markets aggregation platform

Deal brings Black Lagoon’s Monster Mega Hit® titles and seasonal Magic Drops feature to QTech’s operator network.

QTech has partnered with game studio Black Lagoon to add the supplier’s titles to QTech’s aggregation platform for operators in emerging markets. The companies said the agreement is focused on locally adapted content for QTech’s operator network.

Beyond individual releases, the partnership is positioned around building game “families” and feature-led categories. Black Lagoon’s portfolio includes mechanics and tools such as Monster Mega Hit®, Insta Pay feature, Pay Progressive Multiplier and Red Dragon feature, according to the companies.

Black Lagoon is also rolling out Magic Drops, a seasonal in-game feature that can trigger “mystery prizes” on non-winning spins. The supplier said it is using the feature to refresh existing titles with seasonal theming rather than releasing new games; after a Halloween edition, Christmas Magic Drops is set to launch in mid-November.

Philip Doftvik, QTech’s CEO, said: “Like us, Black Lagoon understand that remaining local is pivotal to success. In high-growth regions (like Africa), content diversity matters enormously because player demand evolves very quickly — and it’s also shaped by local realities such as mobile usage, data costs, device types, and payment preferences.

“Their portfolio provides a welcome breath of fresh air in the sector, and these games are very well suited for the emerging markets. Locally adapted content is regularly requested from our clients, hence we’re delighted to release Black Lagoon’s content to our partners here."

Jan Ridenfeldt, CCO & Co-Founder at Black Lagoon, added: “We’re thrilled to join forces with QTech. This partnership means even more players in our core territories will have access to our engaging games.

“Black Lagoon doesn't just create individual games. We build entire game families, where players can move between different titles, enjoy familiar gameplay and discover new features. This approach keeps the experience fresh and engaging, giving players more reasons to return. We also offer a high level of customisation, including localised game mechanics, universal bet sizes, flexible RTP and other technical innovations. These features help us adapt our games to different markets and player needs.”
