QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has appointed Daniel Long to the role of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).

Long is possessed of a wealth of international expertise within business development and sales, and has recently been providing strategic advice and consultancy to both B2B and B2C companies trying to navigate the competitive igaming landscape in Asia via his own Management Consultancy Services. Previously, Long served with distinction at CCO for both RTG Slots and Habanero Systems for much of the last decade. He has also been responsible for biz dev in Asia for Microgaming and enjoys extensive experience in the region’s gaming and regulatory environment.

More broadly, Long brings over 20 years’ experience in strategic sales and key advisory competencies across the diverse igaming sector to bear at QTech Games, bolstering and diversifying its C-Suite’s collective capabilities. Leveraging deep experience alongside an extensive network of long-standing relationships, Long is perfectly positioned to lead on commercial path-finding and business development at a time when acceleration in the digital-entertainment sphere is at its zenith.

The Board of QTech Games commented: “Securing the best C-Suite talent has always been a main pillar of our modus operandi. So, we’re naturally thrilled that Daniel has agreed to take the wheel for business development and strategic positioning at QTech Games for 2023 and beyond.

“We’ve invariably been committed to hiring the best personnel on the planet, not just the best games, and this pivotal role is emblematic of that intent, as our progressive company looks forward to turning the page on many more exciting chapters. To have one of the industry’s most proven performers take the reins in one of the most important domains of discourse for any distributor is a mark of how far we’ve come as a company and indicative of our established status in the market as the number-one distributor for all developing markets.

“In short, it’s a timely hiring move that helps consolidate and maintain the QTech platform’s place in the vanguard of the industry for taking the best online games to market across emerging territories. We’re confident these appointments will assist us in achieving our goals, chiefly powered by clear tactical focus around the customer experience, innovation tech and, of course, our own brand and its resilient values.”

Long added: “I’m delighted to join the QTech Games team at such an exciting time, helping define and implement commercial imperatives around aligning our partners and their customers. I’ve always based my business relationships on the ability to add value. And meeting the team, I’ve not only found a string of products that complement the different sides of the igaming industry but also a strong, experienced leadership resource that is client-focused and eager to tailor their offering to make it work in localised fashion for the customer, wherever they reside on the map. The QTech Games team have solid relationships across the industry, and they’re trusted and respected. I can’t conceive of a more compelling narrative than that in this ever-evolving sector.

“Ultimately, QTech Games is not a mere Asian aggregator but a true international distributor of digital entertainment that’s continuing to attract clients from all over the world. From LatAm to the CIS-facing countries and even the Indian market, we’re stealing a march on the competition. I’m sure that we can now build on this success and gain even more market traction and brand recognition, as one of the largest providers of digital entertainment on the market.”

“It’s a real thrill to be taking on this new challenge alongside some of the sharpest minds I’ve met in the business. After another record year of sustained growth in 2022, enhancing the speed and performance of all games on its platform, QTech has embedded itself in the industry consciousness with a series of new top-tier deals and innovative tools. Now it’s my job to help sustain that growth!”

On May 14, 2026, 1spin4win reached a significant milestone — five years on the iGaming market. The anniversary motto, The Gold Standard of Classic Slots, reflects the studio’s evolution into a recognized name in the classic slot niche, built on years of industry expertise and commitment to delivering authentic gambling experiences.

Today, its portfolio features more than 200 games combining timeless appeal, advanced mathematics, and strong performance. In 2025, 1spin4win achieved a 52.06% increase in bet count and a 56.62% rise in GGR compared to 2024. This growth has helped the provider earn the trust of over 1,000 global operators, including leading brands such as SOFTSWISS, EveryMatrix, Alea, SoftGaming, Digitain, and BetConstruct.

As part of the milestone celebration, 1spin4win introduces Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win, a special slot highlighting the studio’s landmark titles and renowned characters. Alongside traditional fruit, bells, and sevens, the colorful 3×3 grid features Wild symbols shaped as red bezel-set diamonds. When activated, they illuminate the “5 Years” sign, reinforcing the game’s anniversary theme.

The celebratory atmosphere continues through the slot’s rewarding features. Landing nine identical symbols doubles the win, while three or more Coins trigger the exciting Hold and Win Bonus round. With three starting respins, players get the chance to claim two festive Jackpots — the x100 Minipot Coin and the x1000 Megapot.

To mark the 5-year anniversary, 1spin4win is also launching special promotional campaigns in collaboration with Olymp and Selector. To give players additional opportunities to join the celebration, the partners will distribute exclusive promo codes, which will also be available to the registered users of the provider’s Players Room platform.

Olga Hlukhovskaya, Business Development Director at 1spin4win, commented, “Five years in the industry is an important testament to how far 1spin4win has come. Since 2021, we’ve grown into an acknowledged iGaming brand trusted by top global companies. Looking ahead, we plan to keep expanding across African and Latin American markets, deepen our relationships with regional operators, and further strengthen our presence in Europe. For us, this anniversary is not only about celebrating past achievements, but also about building the next stage of 1spin4win’s journey.

The game’s design brings together iconic characters and signature symbols from our previous releases, well-known to both our players and partners. The result is a vibrant product featuring engaging Hold and Win mechanics and the recognizable 1spin4win classic style.

Stake releases Zoo casino game: a fast, multiplayer Stake Original where players bet on the wild side

A new live-round Stake Original where every player bets on the same outcome – six animals, a 20-tile track, three results per round, and wins up to 1,000x in play.

Stake, the world’s largest online casino and sportsbook, has today launched its Zoo casino game, a new multiplayer Stake Original that brings every player into the same live round to bet on six animals across a 20-tile track. Available worldwide on Stake, Zoo is the latest title to join the growing Stake Originals collection.

Zoo takes the shared-round excitement that has made games like Crash a Stake Originals staple and pairs it with simpler, more visual decision-making. Each round, six animals – Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Crocodile, Rhino, and Penguin – appear on a 20-tile circular track, with each animal showing up a different number of times to create clear volatility tiers and payout differences across the board. Players have ten seconds to back one or more animals before the track spins up and locks in three result tiles in the center of the screen.

Zoo launches with a 98% RTP, a top multiplier of 1,000x per round, and full auto bet controls that let players preset their wager amount, number of rounds, and chosen animals. Designed as a simpler, more visual evolution of popular casino games like Roulette and Sic Bo, Zoo strips back the complexity without compromising on depth. The rarer the animal, the bigger the reward – Lion and Cheetah each appear only once on the track, Elephant and Crocodile twice, Rhino four times, and Penguin ten, giving players a clear read on the risk and payout of every play. With three result tiles drawn each round, players win based on how many times their chosen animal lands across all three.

“Zoo is exactly the kind of game we want Stake Originals to be known for – fast, simple to pick up, and genuinely fun to play in an online setting filled with other players. There’s real tension in watching the three tiles land for the whole table at once, and we think players are going to find their favourite animals pretty quickly,” said Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, Akhil Sarin.

Zoo joins a growing line-up of in-house multiplayer game creations on Stake Casino, with the goal of keeping every Stake Original easy to learn, quick to play, and a little bit different from anything else in the iGaming industry.
