Gaming giant Playtech has announced the integration of Quickspin, Eyecon and other leading content providers into the Playtech Games Marketplace platform. 

The agreements, which include some of the industry’s largest content providers, enhances the offering of Playtech Games Marketplace for its customers, while also significantly expanding the scale and reach of the gaming content.

Anthony Evans, VP of Product Strategy at Playtech, said: “Playtech’s scale and distribution is a powerful offering for potential partners. But more importantly, this is a great example of how we can collaborate with the industry’s leading content providers to create an offering with significant mutual benefits.”

Through the Playtech Games Marketplace, licensees are provided with a single, unified platform for content discovery, configuration and insight. 

As a result of the partnerships, content providers will now gain access to deliver their games through the Marketplace, via the Playtech Open Platform, thus gaining further customer exposure by benefiting from Playtech’s scale and distribution network. 

Evans added: “While these content providers gain greater exposure, we know our customers will love the expanded content offering now available to them. Playtech Games Marketplace is fast becoming the industry’s home for great content, emphasising Playtech’s wider role as the essential infrastructure of the industry.”

Bonusing technologies will also be a key aspect of these ongoing partnerships, which seek to build an integration which is compelling both to Playtech customers and their player base.

Moreover, as well as being able to configure the third-party content, customers will be able to apply the functionality of IMS bonusing, and the wider Engagement Centre capabilities, to the content, creating a stronger and more unified engagement experience for its players.

Quickspin and Playtech are looking to “redefine the boundaries of the live casino gaming sector” after the former officially progressed its entry into the space.

In February, the company announced a separation from its core slots product through Quickspin Live, which will utilise a partnership with Playtech to release games using the company’s distribution platform. 

“Quickspin was founded with the vision to deliver thrilling gaming experiences with our own blend of high-quality production value, creativity and love,” commented Panagiotis Chryssovitsanos, CEO of Quickspin.

“As the industry and player base evolve, we recognise the importance of catering to the generation that grew up playing games as a social activity on arcade machines, consoles, mobile and computers. 

“With Quickspin Live, we have the opportunity to engage directly with these players and evolve the live casino gaming landscape. 

“We are also fortunate enough to have Playtech as our partner, providing us with market-leading technology and expertise, enabling us to turn our dreams into reality.”

The “significant milestone” that has set an ambition of delivering “a new level of excitement and entertainment to the live casino space” has also seen details of its maiden game become known.

Leveraging technology offered by the Playtech group, Quickspin Live has introduced Big Bad Wolf Live as its inaugural product within the live casino domain. The company expects to launch a new live release every quarter. 

Edo Haitin, CEO of Playtech Live, stated: “The launch of Big Bad Wolf Live marks the exciting beginning of Quickspin Live’s path in the live space. Our innovative approach for the Quickspin Live games demonstrates well the advanced Playtech Live platform and Quickspin’s exceptional creativity. 

“The game is truly an immersive RNG & live experience, setting the bar higher for the industry; the outstanding attention to detail in the studio and entertaining gameplay combined with first-of-its-kind features and Quickspin’s signature high quality. 

“With this new exciting collaboration, we will redefine the boundaries of live casino gaming and set new industry standards.”

Quickspin has announced its entry into the live casino space, separating its slot content from this product vertical with the launch of Quickspin Live

Differentiated from its core product, Quickspin Slots, the supplier’s live offering will utilise the company’s partnership with Playtech to release these games using the Playtech Live distribution platform.

“Quickspin was founded on the idea that we wanted to bring something fresh and innovative to the market with own blend of high-quality production value, creativity and love,” commented Panagiotis Chryssovitsanos, Quickspin CEO. 

“That was 11 years ago. But the market has changed, the games have changed, and the player base has changed alongside it.”

Alongside this announcement, Quickspin has launched Big Bad Wolf Live, a live casino spin on its established slot release of the same name. The game is set for launch in 2023 while the company expects to launch a new live release every quarter. 

Chryssovitsanos added: “While there are plenty of companies that make fantastic games, we now see ourselves entering the era where the biggest player bases are not the ones that grew up in the shadow of Las Vegas’ heyday but rather in the era of the internet and social gaming. 

“They grew up with a phone in their hands, internet access, they played games online and interacted with each other in the same way. We see this as our opportunity to talk directly to that generation of players. 

“Our ambition is to provide them with high quality, entertainment-first games that they can play and enjoy, together.”

With the igaming industry all set for a week at the ExCel centre, take a well-needed breather as we guide you through a selection of recent slot releases, including Playson’s feline foray, Red Tiger’s bloodthirsty bonanza, Quickspin’s lavish Las Vegas celebration and more.

Bozo Cats – Playson

Far from a cat-astrophe, Playson’s latest slot release uses a 5×3 reel set with 20-paylines with a number of bonus features to enhance the gameplay, including free spins and wild multipliers.

Tamas Kusztos, Chief Commercial Officer, at Playson, explained: “Bozo Cats is a thrilling addition to our portfolio, and we are convinced that this slot will be a huge success.

“The popular free spins mechanic is always a favourite for players, and we have added a twist to it with an interactive gamble option, which is a dramatic inclusion within this mode.”

Blue bonus text scatters are available, triggering nine free spins if three land on the reels at once. Golden scatters are also included, triggering an enhanced free spins feature when three land at once. 

Additionally, wild tuna cans can drop into play, substituting for all symbols other than the two scatters. These wilds can appear with x2 or x3 multipliers.

With the free spins game mode, all wilds that appear on the reels will stay sticky for the duration of the feature. 

Before the feature begins, players are awarded a number of enhancements that they can gamble away in order to win more. These enhancements include extra free spins, guaranteed multiplier wilds and upgraded multiplier wilds with doubled values.

Players are initially awarded three enhancements, but can gamble to win up to five. This gamble sees players select one of three coins, two of which contain upgrades while the other takes players back to the base game empty-handed. 

If three scatters land on the reels and one or more of them are golden scatters then the free spins upgrade feature will be awarded, providing extra game enhancement bonuses. 

Blood Suckers MegaWays – Red Tiger

This latest spine tingling slot title from Red Tiger has players quaking in their boots as a host of bloodthirsty vampires roam the reels. Using the well-known MegaWays mechanic, this slot has six reels with between two and seven rows available on each spin. 

Five vampire characters depict the high value symbols, with colour variants of purple, blue, red, pink and green. If the right amount of winning combinations land at once, these symbols can offer between x0.3 and x3 the player’s preferred bet.

Throughout the base game, random enhancements can appear on the screen in the form of a vampire in a coffin. After this vampire is stabbed in the heart with a wooden stake, the feature is revealed with random wild, random scatter, super wilds and win multipliers available. 

Super wilds are expanded wilds that cover entire reels, enhancing any wins they contribute to with a win multiplier. 

Scatter text symbols are available, triggering the free spins feature if three or more appear on the same spin. 

Before the free spins feature begins, players are presented with eight coffins to choose from with hidden bonus enhancements behind them. The amount of triggering scatters will decide how many picks the player gets, with up to five available. 

Betty Bonkers – Quickspin

A 3×3 reel slot with five-paylines, Quickspin’s latest release transports players back to 1960s Vegas for a night of celebrations in Sin City. This is a high volatility game that offers bonus features including mega free spins and symbol removals. 

During the base game, two bonus symbols will provide one of many bonus features that are randomly selected. One feature removes the two lowest-paying symbols from the game for one respin, whereas another feature will add one or two wilds onto the reels. 

A third feature can apply a multiplier between x3 and x5 to one base game spin, while another feature can cause two reels to merge and have identical symbols. 

The free spins feature can also be awarded, providing either six, nine or 12 free spins in the base game.

Additionally, players can receive the jackpot feature that randomly provides either the minimum, medium or maximum jackpot prize with respective payouts of x10, x100 or x1,000. 

During the mega free spins game mode all of the aforementioned features are enhanced, with four low symbols removed, three or four wilds placed on the board, between x6 and x10 multipliers and all three reels merging together. 

This game mode also causes the jackpot prizes to increase in value, with x100, x1,000 and x10,000 available. 

Back in the base game, horizontal wins on the middle row will activate the random feature selection while increasing a multiplier to the side of the reels that will enhance all subsequent wins on the middle row.

Autobahn Automat – Hölle Games

In what is potentially the most German slot to ever be created, Hölle Games has focused on the nation’s unique highway system for its latest game. This gas-guzzling title uses a 5×3 reel set with 20-paylines to offer a maximum win of up to x1,000 the player’s stake. 

Blue symbols can appear displaying multiplied bet amount values between x1 and x25 or jackpot prizes of mini, major and mega values. Landing five or more hold and win symbols will award the hold and win game mode. 

Wild text symbols can also drop into play on reels one, three and five, substituting for all symbols other than the blue hold and win values. 

With the hold and win game mode, players are given three spins as the triggering symbols become sticky on an empty reel set. Players will aim to land as many prize value symbols on the reels as possible, with each symbol that drops in resetting the number of spins to three. 

At the end of the feature, all prize values and jackpot prizes present on the reels will be provided to the player. Mini, major and mega jackpot values correspond to x50, x100 and x300 prizes respectively. 

If players manage to fill the reel set with symbols, they will be awarded the game’s ultra jackpot prize of x1,000.

Furthermore, players can gamble their winnings after any successful spin with two gamble features available. Card gambles can allow the player to double or quadruple their winnings and the ladder gamble can multiply their payout even further. 

Neon Villains DoubleMax

Yggdrasil’s latest action-packed slot title has introduced players to a formidable heist team on a 5×3 reel set up with 243 ways to win. A high volatility game with an RTP of 96 per cent, this slot offers a maximum win of up to x25,000 the player’s preferred bet. 

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, commented: “We’re delighted to showcase our latest release Neon Villains DoubleMax. Players have shown a great appetite for our proprietary games and we’re always looking to expand our portfolio with high-quality titles featuring our Game Engagement Mechanics; this neon masterpiece fits the bill perfectly.”

This game uses cascading wins, meaning that symbols in a winning formation will disappear after providing their payout, making way for new symbols and increasing the win potential of an already successful spin. 

Each consecutive cascade doubles a win multiplier to the side of the reels, with a maximum multiplier of x25,000 available. 

During the free spins game mode triggered by diamond scatters, this multiplier will not reset in between spins and will remain active for the duration of the feature. 

Furthermore, players can use the golden bet feature to double their chances of landing free spins diamonds. When this is activated, each of the player’s bets are increased by 20 per cent.

As the industry begins to prepare for ICE in London, put your feet up as we guide you through a selection of notable slot releases from the past week including Pragmatic Play’s prehistoric party, Habanero’s fearsome fight, Quickspin’s monster mash and more. 

Pragmatic Play – Mammoth Gold Megaways

Take a journey through time to see the wonders of the ice age in Pragmatic Play’s latest snowy slot release, which uses the classic Megaways mechanic. 

With six reels and up to seven rows, this title offers a maximum win of up to x10,000 the player’s stake on a high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.03 per cent. 

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, explained: “Mammoth Gold Megaways offers players a huge amount of entertainment in the base game with cascades, multiplier wilds and the ever-popular Megaways mechanic, which work in tandem to deliver high-intensity action.  

“The free spins round allows for some direct interaction with a gamble mechanic and the bonus round upgrades the features in the base game by introducing an overall game multiplier for a feature-packed gameplay packaged in a beautifully crafted slot.”

Low value symbols are depicted as playing card suits, with clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades, while dodo birds, bears, hogs, wolves and sabretooth tigers represent the medium value symbols. 

High value symbols come in the form of a woolly mammoth. These symbols can offer between x0.5 and x5, depending on the amount of matching combinations that land at once. 

Icicle scatters are also available, triggering the free spins feature if three or more land on the same spin. 

Landing three, four, five or six scatters will award a minimum of five, six, seven or eight free spins respectively. 

When activating the free spins game mode, players will receive a random amount of spins between their respective minimum amounts and a maximum of 14 spins. 

Finally, sunrise wilds can drop into play. These wilds substitute for all symbols other than the scatter and appear with multipliers of x2 or x3.

Habanero – Dragon Tiger Gate

This Chinese New Year-themed slot title tasks players with finding wins on a 5×3 reel slot with 243 ways to win. Habanero’s new slot includes bonus features such as wilds and randomly upgraded symbols. 

Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, commented: “Delve into a mysterious and dangerous world of ferocious beasts in our brand-new release, Dragon Tiger Gate.

“Our latest slot delivers a spell-binding experience that is sure to capture players’ imaginations, with China’s rich culture providing the perfect backdrop to one of our most engaging slots to date.”

Low value symbols come in the form of playing card suits, with spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts. These symbols can offer between x0.08 and x2.8, depending on the amount of matching combinations that land at once.

Dragon and tiger claws depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.16 and x6 the player’s preferred bet. 

High value symbols are represented by dragon and tiger heads. If the right amount of winning combinations land on the same spin, these symbols can offer between x0.32 and x20. 

Wild text symbols can also drop into play, substituting for all symbols in the game. These wilds can also offer a payout of x400 for a five-of-a-kind win. 

Finally, a Dragon Tiger Gate feature can be randomly activated. This causes one symbol on the reels to be expanded across the whole board, increasing a random spin’s win potential. 

Quickspin – Scatter Monsters

Quickspin’s latest scatter-paying slot release takes place in the underworld, where zombies, vampires and demons pave the way for enhanced features. This is a 6×6 reel slot with a medium-low volatility, an RTP between 87 and 96 per cent and a maximum win of up to x1,493 the player’s bet. 

This is a scatter-paying slot title, meaning that symbols can payout no-matter where they appear on the reels, as long as at least eight identical symbols appear at once. 

The game also has cascading wins, meaning that symbols in a winning combination will disappear after providing their payout to make way for new symbols, increasing the win potential of an already successful spin. 

To the side of the reels are three meters, one each for zombies, vampires and demons. Each meter can be filled by landing winning combinations of their respective symbols.

Once filled, these meters will award special bonus features. Firstly, the vampire meter needs 20 winning vampire symbols to activate its feature, which upgrades low value symbols into high value symbols. 

The zombie meter needs 40 winning zombie symbols to activate its feature that causes any symbols of one random monster to be added to its respective meter, meaning that combinations have been formed by different levels of symbols. 

Winning demon symbols are added to the demon meter, which needs 60 symbols to award its bonus feature, providing eight free spins.

Players can fill these meters multiple times on the same spin, however they will reset at the start of each turn. 

Nolimit City – Walk of Shame

In typical Nolimit City fashion, this slot pushes the boundaries with boozy bonuses, crass characters and questionable costumes. This title has a reel set-up of 3-4-4-4-4, 768 ways to win and a maximum win of up to x9,882 with medium volatility and an RTP of 96.04 per cent. 

Landing three or four invitation scatters on the same spin will award 10 or 15 spins in the ‘one more’ game mode respectively. 

This game mode causes each stacked wild that lands on a free spin to increase a free spins multiplier by a value of one. This multiplier will be applied to the entire payout at the end of the feature.

Landing three invitations with one Mr. E scatter awards 10 free spins in the ‘all nighter’ game mode, while two invitations with two Mr.E’s will provide 15 spins. 

Mr.E scatters landing in the base game can turn into xSplit symbols, causing either the row or the reel the scatter has landed on to split, duplicating its symbols and creating more ways to win.

The ‘all nighter’ game mode sees the triggering Mr.E symbols stay sticky on the reels as they continue to use the xSplit feature to create more winways. This game mode can also have a chance of taking players to the ‘walk of shame’ feature, while each stacked wild continues to increase a free spins multiplier by one. 

In the ‘walk of shame’ feature, activated by landing a Mr.E scatter on the same spin as a stacked wild on reels three, four or five, each stacked wild moves one reel to the left on every spin. The feature ends when the stacked wild reaches the first reel. 

During both free spins game modes, landing one, two, three or four invitation scatters will provide an additional one, three, five or seven spins respectively.

Domnitor’s Treasure – BGaming

The final slot of our weekly selection, BGaming’s new slot takes players back to the middle ages for a mediaeval battle on a 5×3 reel slot with 25-paylines. The supplier’s latest release has medium-high volatility with an RTP of 95.3 per cent. 

During the free spins, the blazing reels feature is activated. This causes the middle three reels to merge together and present one giant 3×3 symbol on each spin. 

This symbol will act as nine identical symbols, increasing the free spins game mode’s win potential. 

With the hold and win game mode, players will aim to land as many coin symbols on an empty reel set as possible and are given three spins to do so.

Each coin that drops in will reset the number of spins to three, and the player is given the sum of all bet amounts on the board at the end of the feature. 

Players can also land jackpot coins on the reels in this feature, which will award their respective prize at the end of the game mode. 

Furthermore, players can buy access to each of these features for the price of a significantly increased bet.

Quickspin has expanded its presence in Europe as the Swedish-based slot firm enters Greece, following the granting of a supplier licence by the Hellenic Gaming Commission

The awarding of this licence results in players in the Greek market being able to experience an array of Quickspin titles, including Sticky Bandits 3: Most Wanted, Big Bad Wolf Megaways and Eastern Emeralds.

Panagiotis Chryssovitsanos, Quickspin, CEO, stated: “The entrance into the Greek market is the culmination of months of hard work from members of the Quickspin team and I could not be prouder of them for all the effort they put into this project. 

“Our presence in this market forms part of our wider strategic plans to be active in every regulated market and provide players with a safe, sustainable and entertaining gaming experience, so to add this one to the list feels incredibly good.”

Adding to the thoughts of Chryssovitsanos, Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Quickspin’s Chief Commercial Officer, stated: “We are thrilled by the reception our games have received on the first days back in the Greek market and I look forward to working with more local partners in the near future.”

Entry into the Greek regulated space comes in a year that has seen Quickspin change personnel at the top of the firm, with Chryssovitsanos taking over the reins from Founder, Daniel Lindberg, earlier this year.

Alongside the change in leadership, 2022 also witnessed Quickspin strengthen its internet security, as it gained an ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification.

Panagiotis Chryssovitsanos has rounded-off a near decade long journey with Swedish game studio Quickspin by being appointed as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

This comes following a decision by Daniel Lindberg, Founder and former CEO, to step down and hand over the helm of the company he founded with two friends 11 years ago.

Lindberg, who will stay on “for a while” to support Chryssovitsanos in the interim during the transition, has lauded Chryssovitsanos as “the perfect candidate” who will “hit the ground running”.

“Nearly 11 years have passed since I founded Quickspin together with my friends Mats and Joachim, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created over the years: the progress we’ve made in the industry, what we have achieved as a team, and the company we have become,” Lindberg commented 

“Handing over to Jotis feels like a natural progression in the development of Quickspin. I’ve always said I wouldn’t leave until all the fundamental pieces for future success are in place, and that time is now.

“We’re in our strongest position ever: we have an amazing team, amazing products, and our outlined strategy for future success is extremely promising. It’s with great comfort that I’m handing over to Jotis and his team to lead Quickspin moving forward.” 

Chryssovitsanos began his career with Quickspin as Chief Technology Officer in May 2013 and was most recently part of the management team as Chief Operating Officer. 

Before completing a near-decade with the group he spent ten years working across a number of positions within the gaming industry, followed by three years in a management consulting role.

Chryssovitsanos added: “It’s a great honor to be given this opportunity and I’m humbled by the trust Daniel has put in me, because he’s truly been living and breathing Quickspin for 11 years now. 

“I agree with Daniel on where we stand and what the future holds. Today, we’re a stronger and more knowledgeable company in every way – one that’s in control of its business and destiny.

“We have a fantastic team in place, and I’m very excited to explore what we can achieve together as a company. I’m also looking forward to work even more closely with our colleagues at Playtech, and I’m certain we will have some exciting news to share in the near future. 

“There are many opportunities out there and I will work tirelessly in pursuit of our shared strategy and vision, to steer this ship into the future. I’m certain the best is yet to come.”

Quickspin

Quickspin has unveiled the promotion of Anthony Dalla-Giacoma from head of account management to chief commercial officer, effective immediately.

Dalla-Giacoma, who has primarily occupied commercial positions in account management, spent the first 10 years of his career in the IT industry, mainly in the UK, before transitioning into gaming in 2013 when he joined NetEnt in their Malta office. 

Daniel Lindberg, Quickspin CEO, commented: “I couldn’t be happier to see Anthony being promoted to chief commercial officer. Such a rapid promotion is evidence of his hard work and the amazing results he’s achieved in the last year. 

“It’s also a great testament to our vision and strategy of promoting and developing our employees, always encouraging and allowing them to expand their skills and take on more responsibility.”

Zitro 

Global gaming provider Zitro has appointed Derik Mooberry as CEO of the group’s operations in the US in a bid to expand its presence in the region as well as across Canada.

In his role, he will be responsible for overseeing and leading the development of Zitro’s business in the aforementioned regions. Mike Magrisi will continue to lead all commercial operations and technical service as vice president of sales and service, reporting directly to Mooberry.

Mooberry boasts over 20 years of experience in the gaming industry, including 14 years at Bally Technologies where he served as senior VP of gaming and senior VP of products and operations. 

Johnny Viveiros Ortiz, Zitro founder, welcomed the appointment, saying: “Derik Mooberry brings a skill set that is almost unmatched in today’s gaming industry. With his demonstrated leadership and business acumen, we are confident that his addition will support the company’s continued growth and success in the American and Canadian markets”.

British Columbia Lottery Corporation

The British Columbia Lottery Corporation has commenced a search for a new president and CEO to continue the organisation’s strategic momentum towards responsible, player-centric gambling that it says is “underpinned by a social purpose to generate win-wins for the greater good”.

Lynda Cavanaugh will continue as interim president and CEO until a permanent replacement is determined, after former incumbent Jim Lightbody stepped down from the role in December 2021. 

“We are excited to find our next president and CEO to build on BCLC’s successes to innovate our business in a way that serves the best interest of our players and communities,” said Greg Moore, BCLC board chair

“Working collaboratively with BCLC’s Board of Directors and Executive team, the successful candidate must be a values-driven leader who is passionate about social purpose and furthering an empowering, equitable and inclusive culture for our employees and industry.”

Codere

A new board of directors has been appointed in a bid to revitalise the business of heritage Spanish gambling group Codere

An announcement made by ‘Nueva Codere’, the business identity of Codere under the ownership of bondholders, confirmed that Christopher Bell had been approved as non-executive chair of the company.

The appointment of Bell, a former chief executive of Ladbrokes Plc and ex-NED of Rank Entertainment and XL Media, was proposed last January.   

Approved by bondholders, he will lead the group’s new board of directors made up of eight members. He is joined by former Group CEO Vicente di Loreto, who retains a seat on Nueva Codere’s board, maintaining corporate governance duties he has held since January 2018.

Meanwhile, Antonio Moya-Angeler, the former managing director of Advent International’s South American PE Fund, will serve as qualified shareholder director.

The remaining seats on Nueva Codere’s board will be filled by ‘Class-B’ advisors  Laurence Biver, Isabelle Lambert, Mathieu Kakal and Sandra Egan.

The board will be tasked with developing a 2022-to-2026 business plan for Codere, which aims to bring the gambling group back to its ‘pre-pandemic levels of activity’.

Allwyn

Allwyn has confirmed the ‘planned appointment’ of Justin King to serve as chair of its UK business, should the pan-European lottery conglomerate win the fourth National Lottery licence competition.

The former long-term chief executive of Sainsbury’s (2004-2015), King has served as a strategic advisor of Allwyn’s bid to become the next National Lottery steward – a decision that imminently beckons for the UK government.   

King’s planned appointment is contingent on Allwyn’s selection by The UK Gambling Commission as the preferred operator and will see him take “immediate responsibilities for ensuring the seamless transition from the current operator of The National Lottery to Allwyn.”

“Justin has an impressive track record of delivering transformative change at large organisations, including his time at Sainsbury’s where he revitalised the supermarket giant,“ Sir Keith Mills, chair of Allwyn’s National Lottery bid, noted.

“His knowledge of the British retail sector and a keen interest in rejuvenating the British high street will be of particular importance to The National Lottery’s retail network. 

“Through his role on Allwyn’s advisory board, Justin has been pivotal over the course of our application; his appointment as chair, should we be selected, is a natural evolution, playing to his strengths and further enhancing our credentials.”

Quickspin has lauded ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification as a “great achievement” and the result of “a lot of hard work,” as the Swedish games studio looks to reinforce a commitment to internet security. 

The Playtech Group company says that the regulatory requirement, of the International Organisation for Standardisation and the International Electrotechnical Commission, will “open up new doors” and facilitate entry into markets that it says have previously been unavailable to them.

Daniel Lindberg, Quickspin CEO, commented: “We’re proud to be able to demonstrate our commitment to internet security to our clients and end users.

“Acquiring this ISO certification is a great testament to the competence and professionalism of our entire organisation, and it will function as a cornerstone as we execute our strategy to increase our number of new market entries from 2022 and beyond.”

Quickspin adds that “as more and more markets are regulating games, authorities want to ensure that actors in the marketplace are serious, often requiring them to provide an ISO certification or perform their version of an IT security audit.”

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system within the context of the organisation. It also includes requirements for the assessment and treatment of information security risks tailored to the needs of the company

Panagiotis Chryssovitsanos, chief operating officer of Quickspin, added on the group’s latest achievement: “We’re very proud to announce that as of December 14, Quickspin is officially ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified. 

“Our entire work processes and practices have been audited and measured against this internationally recognised standard for information security management, so acquiring this certification is a great achievement and the result of a lot of hard work, demonstrating our commitment to provide products and services of the highest standards to both current and future clients.”
