QTech Games bolsters its premier platform with AvatarUX
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has penned its latest provider partnership with innovative games studio, AvatarUX, enabling its platform partners to access the supplier’s multi-faceted slots catalogue.
Consequently, AvatarUX, an emerging force in the igaming domain, is rolling out its immersive portfolio to operators across a series of untapped territories, showcasing a deep well of slot games. This includes an array of popular titles such as CherryPop and coming attractions, like HelioPOPolis, KokeshiPop and HipHopPop, each powered by its signature PopWins™ mechanics.
AvatarUX’s operates from a proprietary framework with tools that enable it to deliver feature-rich and audiovisually stunning games with short-course loading times. Its flexible approach, coupled with a powerful technical infrastructure, allows its team to focus on creating exciting customer-centric slots, underpinned by advanced mathematical models, immersive visuals and a strong user experience. AvatarUX’s success story has been accelerated by the aforementioned PopWins™ mechanics, which constitute a central feature in most of its available games. PopWins™ amplifies the slot experience and extends the length of the average spin session – meaning these games boast increased “win potential” and enhanced options for engaging gameplay.
This timely collaboration now sees QTech Games offer the popular PopWins™ alongside other original mechanics, such as MultiPop™, to its extensive operator network, furthering expanding the commercial potential for this award-winning studio, which was recently singled out as Rising Star at this year’s EGR B2B Awards 2022.
Incorporating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop that has quickly become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories.
The agreement organically broadens AvatarUX’s geographic footprint, and creating new revenue streams along the way. As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia over the past few years, QTech Games’ platform offers the most expansive 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, Daniel Long, said: “It’s another ringing endorsement for our platform to have integrated more premium content from AvatarUX. Theirs is a growing and constantly innovating library, delivering consistent support to the growth of our broad gaming-vertical spread, courtesy of some high-quality graphics, gameplay and unique features.
“Together, we will continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players. We can’t wait to witness how these games perform across a range of untapped markets which, in most cases, break new ground for AvatarUX. They have brought genuine innovation to the igaming space through their immersive PopWins™ mechanic, and we can’t wait to make their games available to our partners.”
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, added: “QTech Games is a natural habitat for our superior online casino games and player-engagement tools. We are widening our scope across developing regions and their market-leading platform provides a flexible gateway to widening our game distribution and reaching new players.
“AvatarUX’s mission remains steadfast: to become a market-leading game studio, with progressive global recognition recently received for our award-winning slot games. To achieve this goal, we believe in leveraging potential, via an agile workforce and the creation of beneficial partnerships, just like this one with QTech Games, in which we work directly with trusted global distributors to continue to support our rapid growth worldwide.
“AvatarUX continues to create top-tier slot games with well-balanced gameplay and unique features, framed by engaging visuals and immersive soundscapes. Needless to say, entering into this QTech Games agreement tracks our core strategy to fully leverage our reach, and we look forward to seeing how new audiences embrace our games.”
