Developer of innovative jackpot games signs key deal with industry leader in online game development

HITSqwad, a dynamic new game studio that plans to become a leading provider of jackpot games, has joined forces with development studio Twin Win Games to help with the production of its highly innovative content.
Twin Win Games is an industry leader in online game development and has worked on hundreds of projects for customers in Europe, North America and Asia. The team consists of 100+ highly skilled and experienced developers, artists, animators, QAs and project managers.

Under the deal, Twin Win Games will assist HITSqwad with both art production and game client development where the provider plans to have one solution across all major operating systems and devices. It will also allow HITSqwad to rapidly develop games and scale teams as and when required.

HITSqwad is run by a team of experienced industry experts that have identified a gap in the market for flexible and customisable jackpot games that meet regulatory requirements in each of the markets that its operator partners wish to target.

Each jackpot theme will have a family of games that ensure the HITSqwad game portfolio is varied while also allowing operators to identify the themes and brands that engage their players and then add additional games to ensure the longevity of each product.

Each title will be developed with a mobile-first approach and will ensure the highest levels of player engagement by providing innovative and exciting features to trigger each and every jackpot. HITSqwad’s first jackpot slots are set for launch via Playzido early in 2022.

Twin Win Games focuses on the production of high-quality games. It has more than eight years’ experience in the online games sector and shares its expertise in the production of games for online and mobile platforms (HTML5, JAVA, .NET, C#) to help bring the concepts and ideas of its partners to life.

Charl Geyser, CEO of HITSqwad, said: “This is another key partnership for HITSqwad. It will allow us to leverage Twin Win Games’ unrivalled experience and incredible team of talent to rapidly deliver our products on a single platform that covers most major operating systems, web browsers and devices.

“We are an ambitious studio and in Twin Win Games we have a partner that can help bring the vision for our business and, more importantly, the vision for our games to life. I look forward to a long and successful partnership between HITSqwad and Twin Win Games.”

Natalia Makarova, Founder of Twin Win Games, said: “We are very happy and proud to become partners with HITSqwad and to help bring its innovative ideas to life.

“We will work together with Charl and his team towards a common goal of creating high quality and entertaining content. We are sure that the synergy of our teams working together will deliver amazing results and that our partnership will grow with the success of each title.”

R. Franco Digital has launched Crash Raiders, a new crash-style game that uses a grid format instead of traditional reels and paylines.

In Crash Raiders, players move across a grid to uncover prizes while avoiding traps that end the run. Each successful step increases the prize pot, and players can choose to cash out at any point or continue for a higher return.

The game includes four modes. Normal Mode lets players customise grid size, prizes and traps. Turbo Mode uses pre-selected routes for faster play, while Mystery and Mystery Turbo Modes apply full randomness to routes and outcomes.

Crash Raiders also adds an Extra Life mechanic that allows a player to revive once per game after hitting a trap, keeping accumulated winnings in play.

Javier Sacristán Franco, International Business Director at R. Franco Digital, said: “With Crash Raiders, we set out to create a highly engaging hybrid experience that blends strategy with high volatility gameplay. By giving players control over risk and path selection, we deliver a dynamic format that captures the excitement of every decision.”
