QTech signs EXCO Game Studio to add slots content to aggregator platform

Game aggregator QTech has partnered with EXCO Game Studio to add the developer’s online slot titles to QTech’s distribution platform across emerging markets, including Latin America and Africa.

Under the agreement, QTech will integrate EXCO Game Studio’s portfolio, which the studio said is built on its proprietary GAMEX mechanic system and paired with its configurable EXCO HACKS bonus suite. QTech said the partnership is intended to support localized content delivery for different markets.

QTech and EXCO said four games are already live: VEGASCALINE, The Robbin’ Goblins, LUNA X and Piranha Bite Club. The companies also cited three titles in late-stage development—Apex Dregs, The Necrobeats and Hella Rella—alongside additional projects in prototype.

Philip Doftvik, QTech’s CEO, said: “EXCO Game Studio is fast becoming renowned for creating clever, fresh-faced mechanics for compelling and immersive experiences. In a homogenous space often devoid of original thinking, they offer mechanics which afford players a breakthrough user experience which they don’t get anywhere else.

“Their social mechanics also caught our eye, and QTech Play’s recommendation engine is now surfacing that shareable content to the players most likely to engage with it. The direction of travel is clear: entertainment in our markets is something players do together, not alone.”

Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at EXCO Game Studio, said: “The online slots industry is drowning in copycat product – another reskin wearing a new hat, every single time. Players clock it fast now. They abandon games quicker than ever, retention craters, engagement dies, because when everything looks the same, nothing matters. At EXCO we don’t do boardroom handcuffs and we don’t do safe. Our job is new themes, new mechanics, things that actually make a player feel something: concepts that make you pause mid-scroll, settings people actually talk about, characters you remember, stories that don’t follow the usual script. Terrible news for lazy studios. Excellent news for everyone else.

“We’re already live with four games across hundreds of casino brands, and there’s more coming before the year’s out. We’re also building a new breed of games made for streamers: social-sharing baked in, player-first maths, content next-gen players don’t scroll past. That’s the whole philosophy in one line: if we wouldn’t play it, we don’t ship it.

“QTech puts us in front of players across LatAm and Africa who’ve never had an EXCO game land in their lobby. New markets, same standard – if it’s not different from what’s already there, it doesn’t ship. Excited to find out how it plays.”
