Pragmatic Play adds another boost to QTech Games’ premier platform
Leading distributor further enhances its offering with Pragmatic Play
QTech Games, the leading games distributor for Asia and all growth markets, has announced its latest premium provider partnership with Pragmatic Play.
Under the terms of the new deal, Pragmatic Play’s content (comprising its slots and live casino verticals) has been made available to QTech Games clients and their players, adding more muscle to a pioneering platform that is setting the pace for bringing the best online games to market across emerging territories.
Pragmatic Play’s wide-ranging suite of high-class content is now helping to drive differentiation, increasing engagement and player-retention levels in the process. This portfolio features popular titles like The Dog House Megaways
This ever-evolving production line consolidates QTech Games’ comprehensive catalogue of slot titles on a platform that delivers a definitive one-stop-shop for worldwide operators, thanks to its unrivalled localised depth and authentic gaming-vertical spread.
The agreement also expands Pragmatic Play’s global footprint, opening up an array of both established and emerging markets for accelerated growth. 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.
Ulf Norder, CCO at QTech Games, said: “We’re excited to have partnered up with Pragmatic Play, whose distinct and diverse portfolio needs no introduction. The QTech Games platform is integrated with the best games from the planet’s top providers – and Pragmatic’s unique content sits near the summit of this mountain.
“In short, we can’t wait to see how these games perform across a patchwork quilt of territories. Especially in developing gaming spaces where demand for a localised product set is paramount in tackling the diverse backdrop of cultural trends and player preferences.
Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, added: “QTech’s ever-expanding reach, from Asia and Eastern Europe to LatAm, is always eye-catching. Forming a strong partnership with a leader in the Asian market allows us to continue to expand our presence in the region by supplying operators with the compelling content for which we’re renowned.
“This collaboration has enhanced our speed-to-market and will set us up to deliver a defining digital gaming experience for all players, no matter where they set their scene on the world’s stage. With this reputation for delivering quality games to players in progressively diverse markets, we look forward to seeing our games form part of QTech’s wider offering.”
Earlier this year, QTech Games broke further ground as the leading distributor across emerging markets with the launch of an industry-first, cross-supplier rewards feature, Network Progressive Jackpot, unpacking a cutting-edge acquisition and retention toolbox for its global partners.
Pragmatic Play currently provides up to five new slot titles a month, as well as an extensive range of live casino and bingo products through its multi-vertical repertoire. The company’s entire portfolio is available through a single API integration.

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.”
