Supplier enjoys 72 per cent growth in regulated market turnover

Casino game and software developer Red Tiger has announced that it enjoyed the best year in the company’s history following a notable list of commercial achievements.

The Malta-based supplier, which celebrated its sixth birthday in October, was purchased by Evolution alongside NetEnt earlier this month in one of the industry’s biggest ever B2B deals.

The takeover marked the culmination of an impressive 12 months that witnessed 72% growth in regulated market turnover, the roll-out of much-lauded new content, and impressive engagement levels for its innovative promotional features.

Red Tiger went live in Pennsylvania with Rush Street Interactive, as well as strengthening its position in the UK, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Finland, Austria, Denmark and Estonia.

Furthermore, it expects to have completed over 70 new integrations by the end of 2020 with operators including Sky Vegas, Partouche, SK365, Veikkaus and Win2Day.

These brands were among the first to benefit from new game titles like Dragon’s Luck Deluxe, Path of Destiny, Aurum Codex, Yucatan’s Mystery, Lords of the Wilds and Regal Streak, many of which attracted exclusive releases with some of iGaming’s biggest casinos.

Some of the studio’s classic titles enjoyed Megaways^TM makeovers or were boosted by the addition of Power Reels^TM, with July’s release of Gonzo’ Quest^TM Megaways^TM – a game which has enjoyed over one billion spins so far – proving to be Red Tiger’s most successful ever launch.

Players enjoying those games were rewarded with more than 11,000 jackpots, or the equivalent of 33 a day, with over 40 million Euros paid out over the year. An impressive 36 recipients walked away with over 50,000 Euros, whilst one lucky Betsson customer scooped 80,000 Euros on a daily jackpot payout.

Nick Vuchev, Head of Account Management at Red Tiger said: “2020 has been a difficult year for many and we’re very conscious of that when we reflect on our achievements, but there is much that we can be proud of at Red Tiger.

“Our product and partner portfolios, and the opportunities presented as we expand our footprints in regulated markets, bear witness to the hard work of everyone here and show how far we’ve come, not only this year but since we launched in 2015.

“Now that we’re part of the Evolution Group, I’m very confident that there is even more success to come in 2021.”

BVGroup’s flagship brand BetVictor has launched a new brand campaign, “For All Your Favourite Things”, backed by what the company said is its largest AV investment to date.

The campaign, created by Barn Door Studios, uses a rewrite of “My Favourite Things” from The Sound of Music over visuals of sporting events. BetVictor said the creative focuses on “the uncomplicated thrill of sport and betting”.

BetVictor is timing the launch around this weekend’s Premier League schedule, with spots running alongside Arsenal vs Newcastle on Saturday evening and Chelsea vs Leeds on Sunday afternoon.

Media planning is led by Bountiful Cow. The plan includes a new partnership with Sky, spanning live sport integrations, on-demand, YouTube channels and targeted digital placements via Sky Advance. BetVictor also outlined a data-led SVOD and BVOD strategy across ITVX, Channel 4, Prime Video and Netflix, plus digital and social.

Richard Walters, Director of Brand and Creative at BetVictor, said:

“‘For All Your Favourite Things’ captures what BetVictor stands for today – a premium, straightforward experience that enhances the thrill of sport.

When done right, we believe that gambling is a simple pleasure; one that we love connecting our customers to. We wanted to celebrate the moments that matter most to sports fans.”

The SBEA+ Eventus Awards focus on the East African igaming and sports betting sector and were presented at a gala ceremony at the Argyle Grand Hotel. QTech Games said the judging period covered 2025/26 and that its aggregation platform performance was ranked highest by the panel.

QTech Games CEO Philip Doftvik said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall online-casino-platform provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa. We’ve been promoting QTech Hybrid, our breakthrough retail solution, to great effect and it’s been fantastic to see that going live with a handful of top-tier clients on this continent has led to such overwhelmingly positive feedback and immediate success cases in the realm of genuine innovation.

“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech Games, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our platform represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond. After all, in today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard will separate you from the crowd, so we were delighted to see the panel acknowledge how our premier platform is delivering across Africa’s eclectic ecosystem. We’ve made our name as the pre-eminent aggregator in these evolving margin markets, delivering localised games that speak to a host of player proclivities. This award win will spur us on to new horizons.”
