QTech Games joins forces to integrate more premium content from Prospect Gaming
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and emerging markets, has announced another premium partnership with Prospect Gaming, the latest dedicated studio from the 1X2 Network’s multi-award-winning suite of igaming brands.
Prospect Gaming is tailored towards developing slot products with a classic retail feel, in order to cater to customers in the unfolding landscape of the Americas and beyond, with a steadfast commitment to innovation and intuitive-yet-bold mechanics.
As a branch of the ramifying 1X2 Network, Prospect Gaming represents another product-range extension for its parent company, sitting alongside more established studio brands, like 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio, as a key component of 1X2 Network’s wider multi-studio strategy.
For its part, Prospect Gaming will remain laser-focused on creating classic games that embrace the fundamentals of slots by delivering immersive and fulfilling gaming experiences to player types both new and old. Its team of talented designers, developers and artists is passionate about igaming, and committed to producing high-quality games to support varied game-lobby philosophies.
As the fastest-growing distributor across emerging markets in recent history, QTech’s platform boasts the broadest gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
Daniel Long, CCO at QTech Games, said: “Prospect Gaming offers something old and something new, with some fresh twists on old retail classics, as eloquently exemplified by the release of their debut title, Prospector Wilds.
“Together, we can continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players across varied cultures. We can’t wait to see how these games perform across a range of margin markets which, in many cases, represent new ground for 1X2 Network, and obviously the unfolding history of Prospect Gaming.”
Alex Ratcliffe, CPO at 1X2 Network, said: “With Prospect Gaming, we were looking to round-out the multi-studio offering that is the 1X2Network with a core bricks-and-mortar-to-digitally-focused studio. The Prospector Wilds series has hit the ground ‘digging’ and illustrates the benchmark quality that operators have come to expect from the 1X2Network.”

Goa Introduces an Entirely Online Lottery Platform
In a move towards modernising India’s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.
Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. “Our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,” Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.
Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. “With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,” Gad remarked. “The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
This development follows new rules governing online lotteries, introduced by the Goa directorate in February 2023. Currently, 13 states in India, including Goa, allow lottery games, though others have banned them due to concerns over gambling addiction and operational irregularities.
