Award-winning portfolio of games to be some the first to feature in Sweden from January 1st 2019
18th December, Stockholm – Slots from Swedish specialist Quickspin, a Playtech Group company, will be one of the first providers to have its games featured by operators when the regulated Swedish market opens on January 1st, 2019.
From day one, players will have access to 30 of Quickspin’s most popular titles including Sakura Fortune, Big Bad Wolf, Eastern Emeralds and Ivan and the Immortal King, to mention but a few.
Swedish operators and players will also have access to Quickspin’s pioneering bonus provisioning and features, including Achievements, Achievements Races, Tournaments and Challenges.
Daniel Lindberg, Quickspin CEO, said the move was one of the supplier’s most significant in recent times: “Being one of the first slots to go live with Swedish players is incredibly exciting for us. As well as being our home market, we have been preparing for this opportunity with our operating partners – and are delighted to have first-mover advantage.
“We live and breathe slots and are especially proud of our Swedish origins. Our mission is to create games that players love, and we’re looking forward to bringing our games home as soon as the year begins.”
The Stockholm and Malta-based supplier is set to finish this year with a fantastic list of achievements, including the release of the ground-breaking loyalty tool ‘Challenges’, and entering Poland for the first time as part of the Playtech Group’s casino partnership with Totalizator Sportowy, the country’s largest operator.
Founded in 2011, Quickspin rapidly established itself as a leading development studio for real money and social casino gaming and was acquired by Playtech in March 2016.
Now licensed in multiple jurisdictions, its award-winning content has seen the company sign agreements with a long list of leading operators.
