Fastest growing UK casino adds another trophy to the cabinet

MrQ has won EGR’s Slots Operator of the year, capping off a record breaking 2021.

The UK’s fastest growing online casino beat off fierce competition from some of the industry’s top names, including Kindred, Paddy Power and Sky Vegas, with the latter coming in as highly commended by the judges.

It is MrQ’s second award procured from the prestigious awards ceremony, following their 2019 accolade for “Rising Star”.

In just 12 months, the casino has seen a 375% year on year increase in slot spins, added over 600 curated games and awarded over 5 million free spins to players.

Savvas Fellas, Managing Director of MrQ commented on the victory, stating: “This award is a real acknowledgement of the outstanding team and the amazing work we’re doing, we were up against a lot of industry titans. We’ve been an underdog from the start; building our own platform, bootstrapping the business with a relatively small headcount and we even managed to get our first nationwide TV/Radio campaign out the door. We have some ambitious plans for 2022, the team and the culture we have are second to none, it’s because of them that we won’t be bearing the title of underdog for much longer.”

1X2 Network has launched in West Virginia, marking its second regulated US market. The supplier said a first set of games went live on 3 June 2026 with Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino.

The company entered North America in Michigan two years ago and said it is expanding US distribution off the back of performance there. 1X2 Network did not disclose commercial terms or rollout timelines by operator.

Among the initial titles going live in West Virginia are 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win. The company said both games have been “ranked as top performers in North America” and are aimed at West Virginia’s “core 30-39 year old iGaming demographic.”

Kevin Reid, CEO at 1X2 Network, said: “Buoyed by the performance of our top tier titles in Michigan, we felt the time was right to step up our US expansion plans, and in Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino, we couldn’t think of three better operators to debut our launch into West Virginia.

“Having already worked with these brands in the Great Lakes State, we’re confident that games like 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win will deliver the same great results for them in West Virginia. We also have deals in the pipeline to go live with a number of other big-name operators which will further cement our presence in North America.”
