Exciting year lies ahead for Gaming Realms
Building on the international success of our Slingo content in New Jersey, the UK, and Europe, we’re entering a number of new markets in 2021, as well as forming more partnerships to further innovate the Slingo genre and excite fans of the games.
THE STORY OF SLINGO As the licensor and developer of real money games, we have more than 40 games in our portfolio, but our most popular creations are our Slingo games. Te game studio produces 10-12 new Slingo games a year and are licensed for the UK, as well as New Jersey, MGA, Sweden, Italy and Latvia.
A portmanteau of slots and bingo, Slingo is a unique genre game whereby players spin a slot reel to mark numbers from a 5x5 grid. If players eliminate five numbers in a line, they get a ‘slingo,’ and progress up the prize ladder. Special symbols such as Wilds and Free Spins can feature in the game, and often players have the chance to purchase extra spins. Slingo fills the void for bingo on mobile, increasing player time on device, conversion and loyalty.
Slingo has become a force to be reckoned with, as its unique mechanic lends itself to many exciting new variations of the game. We have had the privilege of partnering with SG Digital to create one of our top five performing games, Slingo Rainbow Riches, and our partnership with Inspired Gaming culminated in the creation of the hugely successful Slingo Centurion.
PARTNERSHIPS AND NEW MARKETS We signed and delivered some key distribution agreements in 2020. We integrated with SG Digital's distribution platform in March, launched with Sky Betting and Gaming and followed up our agreement with 888casino. We have also gone live with DraftKings in New Jersey, maintaining our strong position in that market.
In 2021, we hope to build on this success and broaden our partners and distribution in Europe. We have applied for licenses for both Pennsylvania and Michigan, and expect to go live in those states
in the first quarter. As well as debuting in Italy in January, we also plan to launch in Spain, Romania, Croatia, Lithuania and Denmark in the first half 2021.
NEW FEATURES AND GAMES We’ll be developing new features to the Gaming Realms platform this year, such as player tournaments, progressive jackpots and a FreeRound service. Tese initiatives are part of a new suite of marketing tools we’re developing to maintain customer engagement with our products and attract new players.
Operators run FreeRounds promotions and Tournaments on Slingo games which reinforces the social and strategy element of Slingo and adds a

sense of community to the game, as well as the excitement of competing against other players.
On top of all this, the Slingo content roadmap is looking fantastic. In an extension of our collaboration with Inspired Gaming, we’ve created Slingo Reel King, which brings the core Reel King feature to the Slingo grid. Slingo Lobstermania is planned for April, in May we have a hugely popular Egyptian themed Book of Slingo due, plus a fin- tastic Slingo fishing game called Slingone Fishin’.
More immediately in March we have the real Jewel in the Crown (sorry) Slingo Starburst. We have a fantastic partnership with NetEnt to create this dynamic hybrid, which brings the iconic Respin feature to the Slingo grid.
However, this breakthrough partnership now allies QTech’s pioneering platform and machine- learning software to a supplier-by-supplier suite of progressive products which deliver credible winning triggers. All of which helps build authenticity, trust and digital dwell-time with the end user.
Tis cross-network move from QTech Games also opens up added possibilities for both established and up-and-coming operators who can benefit from the pooled structure to pull up a chair at the progressive- jackpot table without the need for bottomless liquidity.
MORE THAN A PLATFORM Tanks to its propriety technology, QTech Games is one aggregator which is not only showcasing fantastic games but also adding engaging features (such as QT Play’s AI-powered recommendation engine, alongside other Tournament and Jackpot elements) to confirm QTech’s unique position in the marketplace. QTech Games is now so much more than just a premier aggregation platform, adding value and driving business at every consequential juncture, and helping slots suppliers find new ways to maintain differentiation and relevance in a crowded gaming environment.
