16th July 2026 – QTech, the leading game aggregator across all emerging markets, has continued to maintain the momentum in its premium pipeline, as evidenced by its latest deal with EXCO Game Studio, an emerging force in premium slots with originality and uniqueness at its core.

EXCO Game Studio prides itself as a bulwark against a relentless tide of copycat content, inspired by a “no more clones” mantra which rejects re-skins and tired reboots. Instead, EXCO embraces its own indie slots-studio vibe by carefully crafting every game from scratch – no clones, no filler, no portfolio assembled by committee. Each concept is its own, with no licensed mechanics, and no white-label shortcuts.

All EXCO content runs off GAMEX, the studio’s proprietary mechanic system, which is in turn paired with EXCO HACKS, a configurable bonus suite that lets operators vary volatility and engagement for any market.

Consequently, integrating a progressive portfolio from one of the most unique and innovative developers in the sector adds more muscle to QTech’s proprietary platform, which is leading the way across growth markets like LatAm and Africa. In a steady production line that already has four games live – VEGASCALINE, The Robbin’ Goblins, LUNA X and Piranha Bite Club – with three more in late-stage development (Apex Dregs, The Necrobeats and Hella Rella), plus several further titles already moving through prototype, EXCO is delivering on its pledge for originality.

EXCO Game Studio’s evolving gaming suite is optimised for mobile, a cornerstone of QTech’s RNG model, which is founded on its fully-owned and customised technical platform, affording games providers and operators the fastest integration available. Through this leading platform, which has sealed its definitive status as a global gaming one-stop shop, clients enjoy the best performance and customer support available, localised to every region across both developing and mature markets.

This partnership will deliver a targeted range of localised content, enabling QTech to continue to meet the varied preferences of players across emerging markets, while supporting both companies’ ambitions for global growth.

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.”

“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.”
