QTech signs EXCO Game Studio slots for emerging markets

Deal adds four live titles and a development pipeline to QTech’s game aggregation platform, with a focus on LatAm and Africa distribution.

QTech has signed a content deal with EXCO Game Studio to add the supplier’s online slot titles to QTech’s game aggregation platform, targeting distribution across emerging markets including LatAm and Africa.

The agreement covers EXCO’s existing catalogue of four live games—VEGASCALINE, The Robbin’ Goblins, LUNA X and Piranha Bite Club—alongside a pipeline of upcoming releases named in the announcement as Apex Dregs, The Necrobeats and Hella Rella.

EXCO said its content runs on its proprietary GAMEX mechanic system and a configurable bonus suite called EXCO HACKS, which it says can be used by operators to vary volatility and engagement by market.

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, added: “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.”
