QTech Games partners with Vivo Gaming to strengthen its live casino offering
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor for Asia and all emerging markets, has launched with leading live-casino provider Vivo Gaming in a breakout deal for the company which adds more muscle to its definitive product portfolio, allowing its platform clients to access another multifaceted live-casino catalogue.
The ascendant live-dealer domain continues to go from strength to strength with a truly global fanbase, and Vivo’s innovative and authentic digital table games provide an eloquent example. This product suite includes traditional games such as Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat and Bingo, alongside perhaps the most popular standout live-dealer game for India in Andar Bahar, not to mention other regional favourites like Sic Bo and Dragon Tiger. Accordingly, these games now all form part of the progressive portfolio made available to QTech Games, its partners and their culturally-diverse appetites of their myriad players.
Vivo Gaming has developed this array of exciting live-casino products over the past few years, alongside other notable innovations, such as the recent launch of its Tournament Tool, designed to boost retention and deliver an unforgettable player experience. This promotional breakthrough features boosters and informs players when they are near to reaching the zenith of an in-game leaderboard, facilitating unlimited players and real-time communication in the process. The tool is currently already available with Vivo Gaming’s premium roulette title with blackjack and baccarat soon to follow.
As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia in recent history, QTech’s platform boasts the broadest gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
Daniel Long, CCO at QTech Games, said: “Vivo Gaming’s state-of-the-art live studio delivers an unrivalled immersive experience for players, who can now enjoy these engaging, real-time table games (from classics like blackjack, roulette, baccarat and Hold’Em to regional favourites such as Andar Bahar) via the flexible QTech Games platform which offers the fastest integration on the market.
“We’re naturally delighted to have signed this agreement with a brand like Vivo, whose games need no introduction and are always raising the bar for cutting-edge mobile and web gaming. Live dealer is heavy on personnel and infrastructure in terms of dealers and studio demands and Vivo has nailed this key component in a lucrative vertical that is thriving across both established and untapped territories.”
Neil Howells, CCO at Vivo Gaming, added: “We’re thrilled to put our key piece in place amid the all-encompassing QTech Games jigsaw, and we look forward to their platform taking our games to new, untapped audiences across emerging markets. Vivo Gaming’s unrelenting commitment to delivering engaging live-player experiences affords customers the visceral thrill of playing in a real-world casino, while QTech Games’ wide emerging-markets know-how made them the ideal partner for us. They understand that there’s no chance of cracking emerging markets without delivering the best localised games that truly connect with varied cultural proclivities in igaming.”

Macau Government Extends Lottery Concession of Macau Slot Until 5 June 2026

The Macau government has extended the lottery concession of Macau Slot Co Ltd for one year until 5 June 2026.
The concession renewal was published in the official gazette on Wednesday. Further extensions may be granted, subject to mutual agreement between the Macau government and Macau Slot.
As part of the renewal terms, Macau Slot is required to gradually reduce its number of non-resident employees and actively collaborate with the government to recruit and retain local talent.
Earlier this month, the government held a meeting with Macau Slot representatives to discuss the extension. According to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), the city’s industry regulator, Macau Slot committed to cutting 35% of its non-local, non-skilled workforce—equivalent to 26 positions—by the first quarter of 2026. The company also pledged to make further reductions to its foreign labour quota in the future. Currently, non-local staff account for 15% of the total workforce at Macau Slot.
“Over the past year, despite fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and slower economic recovery in neighbouring regions, the local economy has remained relatively stable under the guidance of the Macau SAR government’s policies,” Macau Slot said in a statement.
“Looking ahead, we are committed to further diversifying our sports betting products to meet customer demand, while upgrading our information technology infrastructure to stay current and deliver more comprehensive sports betting services.”
