EQL Games
EQL Games and Gaming Corps Announce Agreement to Deliver Innovative Gaming Solutions to State Lotteries
EQL Games has secured another strong content partnership with Gaming Corps, a listed innovative iGaming studio out of Sweden. With an emphasis on creating thrilling and unique adventures with mesmerizing graphics, every product Gaming Corps creates is designed to transport its players into a unique world of fun and excitement. EQL Games believes these games will be a great addition to the U.S. Lottery market knowing they’ll lead to uncharted realms of entertainment.
“Bringing Gaming Corps on as a provider to the EQL Games iLottery Aggregator represents an exciting step forward in our mission to bring unique, high-quality content to state lotteries,” said Brad Cummings, CEO of EQL Games. “Gaming Corps’ expertise in iGaming, along with their vibrant game portfolio, aligns perfectly with our vision of enhancing the lottery experience through dynamic, engaging content. Together, we’re creating new opportunities to engage lottery players with distinctive and immersive game experiences.”
Gaming Corps’ portfolio is a captivating mosaic of themes, stories, and adventures, with games designed for players across all demographics. From the mysteries of ancient civilizations to the frontiers of space exploration, the games span a diverse universe of themes that are sure to resonate with U.S. lottery players. While these products can currently be found in some of the top iGaming markets in the world, this agreement with EQL Games marks the first time their content will find a home in the lottery vertical.
“The US has always been a bit of a holy grail for game developers like us, which has been further reinforced as several state markets have been regulated,” said Juha Kauppinen, CEO of Gaming Corps. “The potential in the American market is enormous and we are thrilled to partner up with EQL Games and their impressive iLottery aggregation platform. We have high hopes that it will have a significant positive impact on our revenues. We are now working hard to make all our games available to US lotteries via the EQL Games platform.”
This is the 17th studio partner EQL Games has added in support of its lottery-only aggregator. Built specifically with the needs of government lotteries in mind, this first-of-its-kind product is about more than product distribution. The EQL Aggregator is designed to allow lotteries to enjoy content from multiple studios while only having to interact with a single point of contact. This simplifies the process of adding new content to a lottery’s digital portfolio without having to scale up operations to meet the needs of multiple studio partners. The EQL Aggregator is currently operating in lotteries across two continents and will see further expansion throughout the next year.
