QTech Games bolsters its elite suite with S4Gaming
Asia’s leading distributor enhances its premium offering with content from an emerging force in video bingo
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has penned its latest top-tier provider partnership with S4Gaming, enabling its platform customers to access the supplier’s multi-faceted slots and video-bingo offering.
Barcelona-based S4Gaming is able to draw from a deep well of breakout games, including popular titles such as Gran National 20, La Mina 20, Multidragon, Pesero, Safari Race, and many more. These games now all form part of the progressive portfolio made available to QTech Games and its clients.
S4Gaming boasts a comprehensive catalogue, ably backed by an experienced team that combines for 15 years of deep know-how in a developing digital market across many successful projects. Its cornerstone philosophy hinges strongly around innovation, providing creative ideas to improve every aspect of the UX.
As a result, integrating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop, QTech ONE™, which has fast-become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories.
The agreement naturally broadens S4Gaming’s geographic footprint, targeting emerging markets from Asia and Eastern Europe to Latin America, and driving fresh revenue streams. As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming suite around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
Unlike many other verticals, bingo initially struggled to adapt products to mobile and its smaller screen interface, losing its lines for invention. However, now S4Gaming is capitalising on the enormous potential within bingo to deliver an engaging, socially-led product that can win back the market share conceded to other gaming sectors.
This opportunity for innovation lies, above all, in the domain of huge jackpots which offer the small-stakes-huge-return scenarios that reliably keep players coming back for more. In short, by combining forces, S4Gaming and QTech Games are managing to put a new spin on an old classic.
QTech Games CCO, Ulf Norder, said: “It’s another resounding endorsement of our platform to have integrated more premium content from S4Gaming. Their expanding video-bingo library is an engaging vertical in and of itself, delivering another dimension to our gaming-vertical spread, courtesy of some high-quality graphics, responsible gameplay and unique features.
“Together, we will continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players. We can’t wait to see how these games compete across a range of unexplored markets which, in many instances, will break new ground for S4Gaming.
“There’s no reason for the social aspect of bingo to be impacted in the transition to mobile. In fact, its surging popularity among millennials should only propel the return of this timeless game. Millennials are naturally better set up to adapt in these technological times. They also regard gambling itself as a recreational leisure pursuit. The key is to maintain and evolve a progressive product portfolio. And if it’s accompanied by a towering jackpot, well, so much the better, as S4 has already proved.
Santiago López de Lamadrid, CEO at S4Gaming, added: “QTech Games is a hotbed for superior games and a rarefied air for the player experience. We are widening our scope across developing regions and their market-leading platform provides an agile pathway to some previously overlooked territories.
“Needless to say, agreeing this new deal tracks our core strategy to fully leverage our reach, and we look forward to seeing how new audiences embrace our games.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus
DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.
The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.
If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.
Google-style campus for game development talents
The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.
It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.
“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.
What does this mean for the market?
Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.
If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.
And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
