Blaze Gaming now available through eSoftHall
Rising star content provider ramps up distribution via partnership with innovative technology supplier
Blaze Gaming and eSoftHall have joined forces in a breakthrough partnership for both companies. Under the deal, Blaze will integrate its entire portfolio of slots and casino games into the technology company’s online casino platform.
Blaze Gaming, which is owned by Digient Technologies, has hit the ground running with its games in high demand among both operators and players.
The studio has taken a quality-over-quantity approach to development, with each title combining popular themes with a smart mix of mechanics and bonus combos. Hit titles include Lost Treasures of Egypt and Eat Street.
The studio’s portfolio currently stands at 23 slots, 11 draw games, four table games and five roulette variants, all of which have been integrated into the eSoftHall platform. The deal also includes Blaze Gaming’s soon-to-launch Bull Casino Trading Games.
This is a new game format that combines the excitement of cryptocurrency trading with the thrill of playing wonderfully packaged slot games, making them perfect for operators looking to engage lucrative but hard-to-reach Millennial and Gen Z audiences.
The deal with Blaze helps to further establish eSoftHall as a leading platform and content provider, with its solutions used by operators across the spectrum.
Keith Goddard, CEO of Blaze Gaming, said: “This is a really great deal for Blaze Gaming and eSoftHall, offering huge benefits to us both.
“Our content has proved to be a hit with players because it delivers exciting experiences wrapped in perfectly executed themes that we know players like to engage with. It’s this type of content that platform providers such as eSoftHall want to offer to their partners.
“In addition to our slots, draw and table games, we are really excited about debuting our Bull Casino Trading Games. This is a never-seen-before format that has been designed to allow operators to engage new player audiences and those powered by eSoftHall will be able to do just that.”
Konstantinos Zervos at eSoftHall, added: “We are always looking to add fresh content to our offering and in Blaze Gaming we have a studio that is pushing boundaries while at the same time delivering proven content that players want to play.
“This has resulted in a well-balanced portfolio of slots, draw and table games plus an exciting new format that we know our operator partners will want to add to their lobbies.”
