Strategic Growth in Emerging Markets
For QTech Games, adding Speedy Tomatoes provides a powerful cross-selling tool for operators in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In regions where user engagement can be elusive due to tightening regulations, high-retention card games offer a reliable path to sustainable revenue.
