QTech Games, the leading games distributor across Asia and emerging growth markets, has continued to sustain the strong momentum in its premium pipeline, thanks to its latest deal with progressive slots studio, Fugaso.

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

Among the games made available to its partners via the deal is Fugaso’s blockbuster EPICWAYS series, its latest release in The Sword & The Magic, and an array of familiar fruit-themed classics, favored by a host of loyal players. Fugaso has been raising the bar for technical excellence for years, with a distinctive visual feel to its graphics, coupled with uniquely-geared mechanics and attendant engaging gameplay. Its product line also places a special emphasis on fostering a safer and more responsible gaming ecosystem, providing players with tools to keep track of hang-time, alongside reality-check support.

Fugaso’s game client has been optimized for mobile, the central focus of QTech’s RNG model, which is founded on its fully-owned and customized technical platform, affording games providers and operators the fastest integration available. Through this leading platform, which has sealed its definitive status as a global gaming one-stop shop, clients enjoy the best performance and customer support available, localized to every region across both emerging and more mature markets.

The deal organically broadens Fugaso’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 committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our partners. Therefore, this deal with Fugaso extends our relentless pipeline for the year so far. In today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard separate you from the crowd, so we’re delighted to see how Fugaso has delivered on this demand. That entails stunning graphics, coupled to the latest maths models for improved gameplay and high-variance volatility where required.”

Robert Metzger, Head of Business Development at Fugaso, added: “We’ve been reigniting the slots space with deeper gaming experiences ever since bursting onto the scene in 2016. Teaming up with QTech constitutes a great opportunity to strengthen our product distribution across emerging territories and brings our novel content to a panoply of potential partners. We look forward to seeing how these games now perform with new players and plan to expand this partnership in the months ahead.

“All Fugaso games are available in over 20 languages and can be adapted for additional languages via any device, currency, or cryptocurrency. Our full portfolio of over 30 games has been developed under the most stringent remote-gaming technical standards of the UK’s Gambling Commission, as well as the Maltese Gaming Authority,”

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29^th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.

The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.

Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:

“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”

The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.

The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.

Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
