1X2 Network strikes MrQ integration
Popular in-demand studio adds some of its top slot titles to well-known operator’s game lobby as it nears blanket coverage of the UK market
1X2 Network is moving ever closer to total domination of the UK market after integrating a selection of its best-performing online slots with popular operator, MrQ.
The partnership has been facilitated by Relax Gaming and means MrQ players can fire up the reels on the likes of Rainin’ Money, Megaways™ Jack and the Magic Beans, Wolf Strike Hold and Win and 1 Million Megaways BC – the game that gives players over one million ways to win with each spin!
The independent software company has earned a reputation for creating games that deliver thrilling player experiences. This is achieved through epic themes, bold design and not being afraid to have its own take on mechanics such as Hold and Win.
For MrQ, it adds more quality content to its lobby through games that are proven to hit the mark with players in the UK.
1X2 Network has been creating content since 2002 and today consists of a tetrad of in-house studios that produce games to suit every niche of the gaming market and the different demands of different players. This includes Iron Dog Studio, 1X2gaming, AD LUNAM and Prospect Gaming.
Kelly Hall, Business Development Manager at 1X2 Network, said: “It’s great to see some of our most popular games land in the MrQ lobby and for its players to experience the thrills of Megaways Jack and Wolf Strike for the first time. These are now iconic games among slot players in the UK.
This MrQ partnership is a really important one for us. Not only is it a testament to the quality of our content, but it means we are now live virtually on all licenced brands in the market, which is a significant achievement.”
Stine Graff, Casino Executive at MrQ, added: “MrQ is home to some of the biggest studios in casino gaming and we are happy to add 1X2’s portfolio to our stellar list of providers. Our goal is to provide quality entertainment to our players and with titles like 1 Million Megaways™ B.C. and Wolf Strike; 1X2 certainly fit right in”.

In an iGaming Real Talk interview in Dubai, the firm says the tool reads player emotion and context to guide operator actions.
SoftConstruct AI has unveiled RecSys, an AI Game Recommendation System, during an exclusive iGaming Real Talk interview recorded at AIBC Eurasia in Dubai on Thursday 30th April.
Mushegh Khachatryan, Chief AI Officer at SoftConstruct AI, said RecSys is designed to move beyond traditional recommendation models by interpreting player emotions in real time and accounting for context, with the goal of suggesting “the next best action” for operators. “You can understand your customer’s emotions in real time and suggest the next best action. We are building intelligent systems which can reason and act.”
Khachatryan said SoftConstruct built an AI Center of Excellence by hiring talent from outside the iGaming sector, and described RecSys as part of “production-ready agentic AI” intended to support personalised campaigns and decision automation. Surya Palli, host of iGaming Real Talk, said: “SoftConstruct is essentially building a Netflix-style personalised experience for the iGaming industry, where every player gets a lobby made just for them.”
Responsible gaming was also discussed, with the company claiming AI can detect risky behaviour faster and more consistently than human teams, and recommend timely breaks while balancing player protection with sustainable growth.
Khachatryan also stressed the need for explainable, controlled deployment. “AI should help teams perform five times better rather than replace them… Without proper boundaries, short-term momentum boosts with AI can actually hurt your company in the long term.” The company said operators can manage campaigns, personalisation and risk through chat interfaces, with at least 85% accuracy “from the first interactions,” and directed viewers to the full interview on the iGaming Real Talk YouTube channel.
