Software developers bring in former Quickspin and BetSoft employee to add significant industry experience to major role

Specialists in highly localised online slots and live dealer games, Swintt, announced this month that they will be further strengthening their ranks with the addition of another key industry figure as Tanya Axisa joins as Head of Account Management.
Having previously worked as both an Account Manager and Senior Account Manager at BetSoft Games and Quickspin respectively, Axisa arrives with over seven years’ experience for the role and around fifteen years in the gaming industry in general, making her the perfect fit for the position.
During her most recent stint with Swedish game studio Quickspin, Axisa was responsible for handling many tier 1 operators and was able to build up a strong network of industry connections, with both attributes certain to prove invaluable as she turns her attentions to driving Swintt to all-new heights.

In her role as Head of Account Management, Axisa will be responsible for providing both support and the strongest customer experience possible to Swintt’s partners – and given the way the developers have been expanding this year, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to showcase her skills.
Widely considered to be one of the rising stars of the online gaming industry, Swintt has quickly established a reputation for being leading provider of high-quality casino content. Their portfolio of services includes the development and supply of highly localised slots, immersive live dealer games and state-of-the-art engagement tools – all of which can be found across a wide range of platforms.

“Having already managed and supported a number of big-name operators in her previous roles, Tanya has the perfect skill set to take our Account Management department to the next level. She understands not only the demands and responsibilities of the role, but also the wider culture and ambition here at Swintt, so I’m certain she’ll play a key role in helping us hit new heights in future.
“I’d like to officially welcome Tanya to the team and I look forward to working with her as we continue to establish ourselves as the go-to software provider for major operators across the globe.”

Tanya Axisa, Head of Account Management at Swintt said: “Swintt has already made its mark by becoming one of the most up-and-coming software suppliers in the industry and I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity to join such a talented and experienced team.
“I’m excited for the challenge ahead and believe that with the experience I’ve built up over the past seven years, I’ll really be able to contribute to driving the company forward as we look to achieve our goals of becoming a tier 1 game provider for casino platforms around the world.”

The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) has announced an impressive $42,508,200 in tribal gaming contributions to the Arizona Benefits Fund for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2025. This milestone reflects the continued growth and success of the state’s tribal gaming industry, achieved through strong collaboration between the state government and tribal communities.

A Record-Breaking Year for Tribal Gaming

“This achievement is a testament to the strength of the partnership between Arizona and its tribal communities,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of ADG. “Consecutive record quarters in FY2025 highlight our shared commitment to fostering a thriving gaming industry. Since FY2004, total tribal contributions have exceeded $2.3 billion, significantly benefiting the state and its residents.”

Supporting Arizona’s Communities

The Arizona Benefits Fund receives 88% of tribal gaming contributions, channeling these funds into key areas that directly impact the state’s residents and natural resources. The Q2 FY2025 contributions will be allocated as follows:

  • Instructional Improvement in Schools: $21,186,087
  • Trauma and Emergency Services: $10,593,043
  • Wildlife Conservation: $3,026,584
  • Tourism Promotion: $3,026,584
  • Problem Gambling Education, Treatment, and Prevention: $850,164
  • ADG Operating Costs: $3,825,738

These contributions reflect the state’s commitment to using tribal gaming revenue for meaningful community support, from enhancing education and emergency services to preserving wildlife and promoting tourism.

A Growing Gaming Landscape

Arizona currently hosts 26 Class III casinos, regulated under the Arizona Tribal-State Gaming Compact. These casinos contribute a percentage of their gross gaming revenue to the Arizona Benefits Fund as well as to cities, towns, and counties. This model of tribal-state collaboration has proven instrumental in bolstering local economies and funding critical programs.

About the Arizona Department of Gaming

Founded in 1995, ADG is Arizona’s regulatory authority overseeing tribal gaming, racing, event wagering, and more. Beyond regulation, ADG is deeply committed to problem gambling education, offering support and resources to affected individuals and families through its Division of Problem Gambling and 24-hour helpline, 1-800-NEXT-STEP.
