HITSqwad signs game distribution deal with Playzido
Developer of innovative jackpot slots set to launch its first titles in Q4 via fast-growing platform provider and content aggregator
HITSqwad, the challenger studio that plans to become a leading provider of jackpot games to the online gaming market, has joined forces with fast-growing content aggregator, Playzido, to launch its titles to operators in regulated online markets around the world.
HITSqwad is run by a team of industry veterans that have identified a gap in the market for jackpot games. Playzido’s open architecture platform enables HITSqwad to rapidly deliver a range of highly functional games, and also allows them to easily customise these to meet the regulatory requirements in each of the markets they target.
The studio will use the Playzido platform to deliver a suite of jackpot slots that will be offered to operators on Playzido’s ever growing network.
HITSqwad has developed each jackpot slot with a mobile-first approach, and have focussed on providing an exceptional user experience by ensuring the games are ultra-light weight for quick downloads and that the User Interface is highly functional, but simple and easy to understand.
Their objective is to deliver captivating gaming experiences through a pronounced blend of maths, psychology, art and sound.
The developer is currently working on its first series of jackpot slots which will be made available to Playzido operators starting in the fourth quarter. Thereafter a steady flow of fresh and innovative games will follow. All jackpot slots will meet the regulatory requirements of each target market whilst ensuring that the highest levels of responsible gaming are met.
Playzido is quickly carving out a niche in the industry by actively supporting innovative game developers such as HITSqwad, allowing them to deploy games directly onto its ecosystem. This is only possible due to its agile technology, its existing contracts with operators and its aspiration to work hand in hand with studios.
Charl Geyser, CEO of HITSqwad, said: “We are taking an innovative approach to game development and in particular jackpot slots. We believe there is huge untapped potential for these games, which
combined with the striking animations and engaging sound we are building in to each game, makes for a jackpot slot product like no other. I’d like to thank Playzido for partnering with us on this and look forward to debuting our first game later this year. Collaborating with Playzido allows us to rapidly deploy our games and focus on what we do best.”
Stuart Banks, Managing Director of Playzido, said: “As a content aggregator, we look to partner with studios at the cutting edge of game development and in HITSqwad we have a developer that is pushing the boundaries with jackpot slots.
“I look forward to seeing its first games launch to the Playzido network later this year and for our operator partners to be able to leverage the potential of these exciting jackpot slots.”
