QTech Games, the world’s leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has signed a primary supplier partnership with Expanse Studios.

The deal grants QTech’s extensive network of operators access to Expanse Studio’s diverse portfolio of over 60 proprietary titles, including slots, crash games, and specialized table games.

Player-First Content for the Digital Era

Expanse Studios, the iGaming arm of Meridian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MRDN), is renowned for creating content that prioritizes mobile-first experiences and high player retention. The integration includes popular crash titles and eclectic slots designed for rapid loading, a critical requirement in emerging markets where network conditions can vary.

In a significant move for the social gaming sector, Expanse has also made its slot portfolio compatible with social casino operators, broadening its reach across both North and South American markets. QTech’s aggregation infrastructure, which features native mobile apps and 24/7 local-language support, will serve as the primary distribution engine for this rollout.

B2B Synergy and Efficiency

Philip Doftvik, CEO of QTech Games, highlighted the innovation driven by this deal:

“We’re committed to rolling out more and more high-class content and product innovation that drives revenue for our partners. This deal with Expanse Studios extends our impressive sequential pipeline for the year – showcasing our flexible array of content which solves for fine-grained, local requirements in countries where light, rapid-load games are a must. By intelligently introducing social casino versions of its popular games, new modern audiences are now at our partners’ fingertips.”

Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios, added:

“QTech’s platform is a gateway to more and more global audiences, and new distributional efficiencies for Expanse. We can’t wait to see how our highly engaging games perform across this largely greenfield landscape of emerging markets.”

This partnership solidifies QTech’s position as the fastest-growing aggregator in the industry while providing Expanse Studios with a robust route to high-growth international audiences.
