QTech Games, the leading games distributor for Asia and all growth markets, has continued to build the strong momentum in its pipeline, thanks to its latest agreement with rising star supplier, Lady Luck Games.

Integrating content from one of the more innovative and creative online slots providers around adds yet more variety to QTech Games’ burgeoning platform, which is bringing the widest range of online games to emerging territories with established names, such as Evolution and Fantasma Games, sitting alongside the industry’s most exciting up-and-coming providers.

Among the games made available to its partners via the deal will be Lady Luck’s latest release, Valley Of The Muses – a 10-line slot inspired by classical Greek mythology featuring enhanced gameplay – alongside other popular titles like Dragon Slayer and Ruler Of Egypt.

These games are premised on the cornerstones of sticky design and a heightened gameplay experience. While Lady Luck’s game development is optimised for mobile, the central focus of QTech’s RNG model, which is founded on its fully-owned and customised technical platform, affording games providers and operators the fastest integration available. Through this leading platform, clients enjoy the best performance and customer support available, localised to every region across both emerging and more mature markets.

The deal organically broadens Lady Luck’s international footprint, unlocking untapped jurisdictions from Asia to Eastern Europe and Latin America for diversified growth.

Ulf Norder, CCO at QTech Games, said: “We’re dedicated to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our partners. So, this deal with Lady Luck extends our impressive sequential pipeline for 2021. In today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard separate you from the crowd, so we’re thrilled to see how Lady Luck is delivering on this demand. That means stunning graphics, coupled to the latest maths models for superior gameplay and high-variance volatility where preferred.”

Kenny Dahlsjö, VP Sales at Lady Luck Games, added: “Lady Luck Games were created to develop casino games with a strong focus on superb gameplay experience with high-quality and unique features, and to entertain as large an audience as possible. This partnership with QTech gives us a fantastic opportunity to expand our products in important markets that show steady growth.

“In an era where the competition is fierce, we strive to deliver unique products that stand out and are constantly working on developing the new big hit. So, for us, this deal represents a perfect alignment of creative forces, high-end technology and solid business knowledge which, above all, are helping transform the user experience for worldwide players.

“Although our team is recently assembled, we have decades’ worth of experience developing user-friendly, creative, entertaining slots. Our portfolio contains some very exciting titles already, with many more in the making, as we aim to release one new game every month. We look forward to seeing how our partnership with QTech flourishes and deliver our games to more markets in the near future.”

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.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
