Quickspin’s latest game is a great testament to their ‘portrait first’ focus

Published

Swedish slot specialist Quickspin, a Playtech Group company, has just released Skulls UP! – the first slot of the year to be developed with their ‘portrait first’ focus.

Quickspin always develop their slots with a clear focus on mobile devices – a strategy they’re planning on ramping up even further this year, with a special focus on their new portrait mode. Last year, the company updated their UX design with this new portrait mode, as well as the layout in their engagement tool Tournaments.

Skulls UP! combines a tropical theme with expanding reels, high volatility and the opportunity to win big. The features include Flaming Free Spins, Flaming Respins (Respin until you win) and Flaming Skull Wilds. In addition, the reels can expand to up to 6 symbols in height. Every Wild symbol you get during a Flaming Respin will open up a new position above the reels, which can increase the number of bet ways from 243 all the way up to 1,944.

Daniel Lindberg, Quickspin CEO: “We’re really excited to kick-start 2020 with our first release! We’ve got a diverse roadmap planned out for the year, and we’ll continue to push the boundaries with one innovative, high-quality slot per month, with a clear focus on mobile devices. Skulls UP! is a great testament to our strategy. Making full use of our new portrait mode, it’s a beautiful example of a game that was developed with our ‘portrait first’ approach.”

Founded in 2011, Quickspin rapidly established itself as a leading development studio for real money and social casino gaming, and the company was acquired by Playtech in March 2016. Now licensed in multiple jurisdictions, its award-winning content has seen the company sign agreements with a long list of leading operators.

New game genres, including ‘Rotocade® ‘ and ‘Dial’, expand content options for North American lottery operators.

Playforge, the next-gen iLottery games studio, has announced a strategic distribution agreement with EQL Games, a provider of disruptive gaming content to lottery partners, bringing a new wave of high-retention, mobile-first iLottery games to the North American market.

The collaboration will leverage EQL’s robust aggregation platform and RGS to seamlessly deliver Playforge’s complete portfolio of iLottery titles to operators.

This include its innovative ‘Rotocade®‘, Dial, and instant win genres that promise to attract a diverse range of players with their novel mechanics and lighting fast mobile-first approach.

As the region’s gaming landscape evolves rapidly, traditional lotteries are facing increased competition from emerging digital betting and entertainment platforms.

This distribution agreement will service online lotteries with the fast-paced, engaging content that attracts the future core of lottery audiences.

The agreement will also allow operators to access new game formats that are tailored to acquire and retain more engaged, digitally native players, while helping modernise lottery brand perception.

Adam Barber, founder and CEO at Playforge, said: “Younger gaming generations demand more from digital content, and player expectations online are evolving fast.

This distribution partnership with EQL Games will help North American lotteries to stay ahead of that curve with our next-generation content, featuring new game concepts that capture players’ imagination and drive loyalty.

“With our in-house expertise that crafts games with novel mechanics and first-rate artistry, combined with EQL’s aggregation know-how and regional market knowledge, we can’t wait to get the future of iLottery content into the hands of players who demand more.”

Brad Cummings, founder and CEO at EQL Games, added:

“Playforge is exactly the kind of contemporary content provider the lottery industry needs to broaden its offerings in the fight to stay relevant to quickly changing player demographics.

Our technology is built to expand access to the best lottery games, empowering operators to leverage content like Playforge’s, which demonstrates first-rate craftsmanship, and the power to engage a new audience of lottery player.

“Short-form game styles are an important part of the portfolio for all lotteries looking to diversify their content portfolio, Playforge’s new and innovative approach will be of significant benefit to our lottery operator partners in the years to come.”

At present, less than a third of US states offer iLottery instant win games. Helping lotteries transition to a more sustainable, future-proof audience is critical to its ongoing success.

Superbet has reinforced its pioneering position in the Brazilian regulated betting market by becoming the first betting platform officially available on Brazil’s Apple Store.

The app listing comes immediately after Apple updated its guidelines on May 8, allowing the distribution of fixed-odds betting applications in the country.

The move further highlights Superbet’s leadership within Brazil’s newly regulated gaming landscape.

The company was among the first operators to secure authorization under the federal betting framework, positioning itself at the forefront of compliance, responsible gaming and digital innovation.

With the application now officially accessible to iOS users in Brazil, customers can enjoy a fully regulated betting experience through a platform operating in accordance with local legislation and Apple’s updated distribution policies.

Industry experts see the measure as an important milestone in the fight against illegal betting operators, while also strengthening consumer protection and trust in licensed brands.

Superbet has significantly expanded its presence in Brazil over recent years through sponsorship agreements, marketing campaigns and strategic partnerships, becoming one of the most visible betting brands in the market.

The operator has also invested heavily in mobile-first technology and user experience, recognizing Brazil as one of the world’s fastest-growing mobile betting environments.

The approval of regulated betting apps on major digital marketplaces is expected to accelerate the migration of users toward licensed operators and contribute to the consolidation of a safer and more transparent betting ecosystem in Brazil.
