QTech Games consolidates its elite suite with Manna Play
Leading distributor for emerging markets further upgrades its premium offering with content from an emerging force in slots
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has penned its latest provider partnership with Manna Play, enabling its platform customers to access the supplier’s distinctive slots catalogue.
Founded in 2018, the Anguilla-based online casino-games provider is a rising-star force in the igaming domain, drawing from a deep well of trademark games – including popular titles such as Double Dragons, Gem Princess, Gem Hunter and Bikini Queens Dating, which run the gamut from classic themes to original storylines, promoting quality narratives, with a powerful algorithmic engine and great gameplay at their core.
This Manna Play mantra extends to new igaming innovations around a breakout range of PachiSlots, Manna Play’s Jackpot Series which pairs volatile gameplay with stunning visuals, and some unique crash games, like Jungle Run. All these games now form part of the progressive portfolio made available to QTech Games and its clients.
With a stellar track record for high-class casino game development across Europe and Asia, Manna Play has assembled a growing team of skilled mathematicians, graphic designers, software developers, audio engineers and casino experts, who combine to routinely impress international audiences with content that caters to players of all types and cultures.
By deploying the state-of-the-art technology, Manna Play games are fully optimised for mobile as well as desktop to ensure the best gaming experience for all types of players. With a global-market approach, these games cater for every taste, from a traditional Asian style to more modern-day recreational themes that connect with the prevailing zeitgeist. Their highly-geared gameplay mechanics, varied volatility and mercurial maths models are raising the bar for an improved customer experience, no matter the target territory.
Integrating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop, which has quickly become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories. The deal naturally broadens Manna Play’s geographic footprint, carving out emerging markets from Asia and Eastern Europe to Latin America, and creating new revenue streams.
As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
QTech Games CCO, Daniel Long, said: “It’s another ringing endorsement for our platform to have integrated more premium content from Manna Play. They remain an online casino game provider dedicated to bringing amazing games to players and clients all over the world, thanks to their high-quality graphics, 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 witness how these games perform across a range of untapped markets which, in many cases, represent new territory for Manna Play.”
COO at MannaPlay, Monica Chang at Manna Play, added: “QTech Games is a natural habitat for our superior online casino games and player-engagement tools. We are widening our scope across developing regions and their market-leading platform provides a flexible gateway to some previously overlooked territories.
“Manna Play continues to create top-tier slot games with well-balanced gameplay and unique features, framed by engaging visuals and immersive soundscapes. Needless to say, consolidating this QTech deal embodies our cornerstone strategy to maximize our reach, and we look forward to seeing how new audiences embrace our games.”

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”
