QTech Games consolidates its elite suite with Manna Play
Leading distributor for emerging markets further upgrades its premium offering with content from an emerging force in slots
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has penned its latest provider partnership with Manna Play, enabling its platform customers to access the supplier’s distinctive slots catalogue.
Founded in 2018, the Anguilla-based online casino-games provider is a rising-star force in the igaming domain, drawing from a deep well of trademark games – including popular titles such as Double Dragons, Gem Princess, Gem Hunter and Bikini Queens Dating, which run the gamut from classic themes to original storylines, promoting quality narratives, with a powerful algorithmic engine and great gameplay at their core.
This Manna Play mantra extends to new igaming innovations around a breakout range of PachiSlots, Manna Play’s Jackpot Series which pairs volatile gameplay with stunning visuals, and some unique crash games, like Jungle Run. All these games now form part of the progressive portfolio made available to QTech Games and its clients.
With a stellar track record for high-class casino game development across Europe and Asia, Manna Play has assembled a growing team of skilled mathematicians, graphic designers, software developers, audio engineers and casino experts, who combine to routinely impress international audiences with content that caters to players of all types and cultures.
By deploying the state-of-the-art technology, Manna Play games are fully optimised for mobile as well as desktop to ensure the best gaming experience for all types of players. With a global-market approach, these games cater for every taste, from a traditional Asian style to more modern-day recreational themes that connect with the prevailing zeitgeist. Their highly-geared gameplay mechanics, varied volatility and mercurial maths models are raising the bar for an improved customer experience, no matter the target territory.
Integrating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop, which has quickly become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories. The deal naturally broadens Manna Play’s geographic footprint, carving out emerging markets from Asia and Eastern Europe to Latin America, and creating new revenue streams.
As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
QTech Games CCO, Daniel Long, said: “It’s another ringing endorsement for our platform to have integrated more premium content from Manna Play. They remain an online casino game provider dedicated to bringing amazing games to players and clients all over the world, thanks to their high-quality graphics, gameplay and unique features.
“Together, we will continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players. We can’t wait to witness how these games perform across a range of untapped markets which, in many cases, represent new territory for Manna Play.”
COO at MannaPlay, Monica Chang at Manna Play, added: “QTech Games is a natural habitat for our superior online casino games and player-engagement tools. We are widening our scope across developing regions and their market-leading platform provides a flexible gateway to some previously overlooked territories.
“Manna Play continues to create top-tier slot games with well-balanced gameplay and unique features, framed by engaging visuals and immersive soundscapes. Needless to say, consolidating this QTech deal embodies our cornerstone strategy to maximize our reach, and we look forward to seeing how new audiences embrace our games.”

NewCasinoRank Unveils Specifics of Thai New Online Casino Market

As Thailand remains one of the most frequented locations accessing NewCasinoRank, the team is dedicated to delivering precise and relevant information that aligns with the country’s strict gambling regulations.
Gambling in Thailand is heavily regulated under the Gambling Act of 1935, which prohibits most forms of gambling except for the government-run lottery and horse racing. Despite these restrictions, the popularity of online casinos continues to grow, driven by increasing internet accessibility. According to Statista, the online gambling market in Thailand is projected to grow by 5.56% (2024-2028), resulting in a market volume of €628.90m in 2028.
Thai players frequently visit NewCasinoRank to find reliable information on accessible new online casinos that comply with local laws. To meet this demand, NewCasinoRank’s team meticulously curates content that adheres to Thailand’s legal framework, ensuring players have access to safe and trustworthy gaming options.
Chloe O’Sullivan, CasinoRank’s Writer, emphasizes the platform’s commitment: “We highly value our Thai audience and strive to provide up-to-date information on our dedicated Thailand page. This comprehensive resource includes special features of new casino sites in Thailand, the most popular casino game developers in the country, an overview of the average bonus values based on market trends and local currency, and much more.”
Samuel Adeoye, CasinoRank’s Researcher, said: “Speaking of new casinos, sometimes it’s hard to get the most accurate information because the subject is new. Still, we manage to do that by collecting data from reputable open sources and collaborating with trusted casinos that partner with NewCasinoRank. This ensures that our content is both accurate and relevant, providing Thai players with the information they need to make informed decisions.”
