Asia’s No.1 distributor further enhances its high-quality offering with prized portfolio from NASDAQ First North-listed studio
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has announced its latest high-quality supplier alliance with Stockholm-based studio, Fantasma Games.
Under the terms of the agreement, Fantasma Games’ full content suite of next generation slots is now available to QTech Games clients and their players.
Fantasma Games has created some of the more memorable titles on the market, like the recently launched ELEMENTO or the popular Heroes Hunt (Megaways), pushing the boundaries of slots creativity and volatility with the latest graphics and maths models that propel the player experience into the modern world.
This ever-evolving production line underscores QTech Games’ diverse domain of gaming verticals, providing a comprehensive one-stop shop, QTech ONE The agreement also widens Fantasma Games’ global influence, opening up margin markets from Asia and Eastern Europe to Latin America, and driving new revenues. QTech’s partners will now benefit from Fantasma’s signature “slots beyond gambling” ethos, improving player engagement for reliable retention in an increasingly competitive space.
As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the broadest gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
QTech Games CCO, Ulf Norder, said: “We’re delighted to have teamed up with our long-standing friends at Fantasma Games, whose visually stunning and varied games always deliver. Our modus operandi is to continue adding premium content to QTech’s premier platform, coupled to our market-leading tech which accelerates growth. As a result, this timely collaboration provides another compelling case in point. “We look forward to seeing how their games perform across a range of regions which, in certain instances, break new ground for them. QTech Games’ propriety technology means we’re the only aggregator that is not just delivering fantastic games but also updating engaging in-game features and tools which are constantly being upgraded and refined. It’s helped us carve out a unique position in the aggregation space at a time when many others are struggling to adapt and positively delineate themselves in the changing landscape.”
Fredrik Johansson, founder and Commercial Director of Fantasma Games AB (Publ.), said: “We’ve been reinvigorating the slots space with deeper gaming experiences for a while. Teaming up with QTech represents a great chance to widen our product distribution across emerging territories and deliver our fantastic content to a range of top-tier partners. Entering into this agreement is in line with our core strategy to maximize our reach. We can’t wait to see how our games will be received by new audiences. Exiting times ahead!”
Earlier this year, QTech Games broke further ground as the leading distributor across emerging markets with the launch of an industry-first, cross-supplier rewards feature, Network Progressive Jackpot, unpacking a cutting-edge acquisition and retention toolbox for its global partners.

Genting Singapore chief financial officer (CFO) Lee Shi Ruh has been appointed president and chief operating officer (COO), filling a position that had been vacant for three years.
The role was last held by former president and COO Tan Hee Teck, who was promoted to chief executive officer in May 2022.
Lee has now stepped down as CFO, the group announced in a bourse filing on Friday (Aug 1). That role will be taken over by Ang Suat Ching, currently CFO of Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Genting Singapore. Ang will retain her role at RWS.
These changes follow the retirement of Tan, who stepped down as CEO and chairman of RWS in May.
From Jun 1, Lim Kok Thay, executive chairman of the Genting Group, assumed the role of acting CEO, while Lee took on the position of CEO of RWS.
“These appointments reflect our commitment to leadership renewal as the group enters its next phase of growth,” said Lim.
He added that Lee “brings a proven track record of sound decision-making, strategic discipline, and a clear understanding of the group’s long-term priorities, which will be invaluable in her expanded role as president and COO”.
He also noted that Ang’s financial expertise will support the group’s long-term value creation.
