QTech Games and Blueprint Gaming launch Jackpot Rapid Fire
Two industry forces combine their nous and creative flair for more innovation to enhance player engagement and deliver transparency for global operators
QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has rolled out an innovative new progressive jackpot system, Jackpot Rapid Fire, in conjunction with renowned slots provider Blueprint Gaming.
Jackpot Rapid Fire is a high-frequency, multi-tiered progressive jackpot mechanic designed to improve player engagement and boost operator retention. With seamless integration across a growing suite of exciting games, Jackpot Rapid Fire offers more chances for players to win, while also ensuring transparency and flexibility for operators.
The inherent ability of jackpots to drive acquisition and retention is well-established across worldwide markets. However, this breakthrough innovation now aligns QTech’s pioneering platform and machine-learning software with a suite of progressive products which deliver reliable and credible winning triggers (at 5 tiers between $200-$7,500). All of which assists in building authenticity, trust and digital dwell-time with the end user.
These jackpots are amassed by players’ contributions into the same dedicated account and shared across all participating operators under QTech Games network. When the jackpot triggers, this dedicated account is then paid out by QTech Games, which is also underwriting the Jackpot Rapid Fire system on a monthly settling-up basis.
Key Features:
-
5-tier progressive jackpot system: Mini, Minor, Major, Master, and Mega King ($200-$7,500)
-
More frequent jackpot wins maintain player excitement
-
Jackpots are randomly triggered when 5 fire symbols land on the reels, adding excitement and unpredictability
-
Live contribution and win tracking via QTech Back Office
-
Available exclusively on selected Blueprint Gaming Rapid Fire games
-
Full access across all markets
-
Product is available across both desktop and mobile channels
This game-changing, networked move from QTech Games also opens up further possibilities for both established and up-and-coming operators who can benefit from its pooled structure to pull up a chair at the progressive-jackpot table without the need for bottomless liquidity.
Intuitive back-office functionality for tracking and reporting allows partners to accurately unpack all jackpot details pertaining to contributions and payout values with platform-specific visibility (i.e. operators can only view their own data) while QTech’s unique API allows managers to effortlessly retrieve any jackpot ID, game or pools info, alongside real-time balances in any given currency. QTech Games is also delivering full marketing support – featuring assets, visuals and promotional ideas, tailored to operator campaigns.
Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “We’re excited to confirm that our new Jackpot Rapid Fire system is really turning players’ heads and keeping them coming back for repeat visits on a highly playable portfolio of dedicated titles from our friends at Blueprint Gaming. Operators large and small understand that progressive jackpots are one of the most effective marketing tools around, and now QTech and Blueprint’s unique system is taking the notional risk and administration out of jackpot provision.
“Our proprietary technology means we’re the only aggregator which is not just showcasing fantastic games but also adding engaging features (such as our AI-powered recommendation engine, alongside other Tournament and Jackpot elements) to illuminate QTech’s leadership position across emerging markets. Jackpot Rapid Fire represents just part of an innovative rewards tide that is helping to lift all boats.
“QTech Games is now so much more than just a leading aggregator, adding value and driving business at every consequential juncture. We’re confident this Jackpot Rapid Fire system will reliably boost acquisition and activity numbers for a wide variety of operators.
“It’s vital for operators and players to have that trust, and QTech’s accessible back office and dedicated Jackpot Dashboard deliver that peace of mind in spades, with a live view of jackpot balances, contributions and wins. While players also benefit from credible and regular winning jackpot triggers across a host of our participating games. It’s also important to remember that no operator participation fee is required and jackpot contributions do not impact GGR.”

New approvals in U.S. states and applications in Canadian provinces drive Catalist Sports’ latest expansion across regulated North American markets
Catalist Sports, a leading licensed supplier of sports betting content to the regulated U.S. marketplace, has continued to expand its regulated market footprint with new supplier licenses secured in Arkansas and Nebraska, alongside recently submitted Canadian applications in Ontario and Alberta.
Arkansas’ regulated sports betting market is set for significant growth, with major operators including DraftKings and FanDuel entering the state in March 2026. In addition to Arkansas, Catalist Sports has successfully obtained a supplier license in Nebraska.
Following the approval of its supplier license in Missouri, the latest state to regulate online gambling, in December, Catalist Sports is now licensed in 30 U.S. jurisdictions, with two Canadian provinces expected to follow.
These license updates reinforce Catalist Sports’ commitment to serving both U.S. and Canadian regulated betting markets with compliant, high-quality content and services.
“Securing licenses in new jurisdictions and strengthening our regulatory standing is fundamental to serving as a trusted, key supplier to our operator partners,” said James Monk, Vice President & General Manager of Catalist Sports.
“Arkansas represents an exciting next step for us, particularly as major brands prepare to enter the market. At the same time, our licenses in Nebraska, along with applications in Ontario and Alberta, and ongoing license upgrades, position Catalist to continue delivering scalable, compliant, and differentiated services to our partners.”
Catalist Sports’ expanding North American footprint supports the company’s broader strategy to provide licensed operators with premium data, live streaming, and advanced trading capabilities, helping partners maximize in-play engagement, product innovation, and long-term growth in regulated markets.
Catalist Sports distributes official data and live streaming rights from a vast portfolio of events to licensed U.S. sportsbooks.
