Quickspin: Story-Driven Video Slots from Sweden

Quickspin is a highly rated Swedish studio with offices in Sweden and Malta. Its team is made up of slot enthusiasts, and its culture rests on diversity, passion and friendship, values that show in the innovative products the market keeps asking for.

Three friends, Daniel Lindberg, Mats Westerlund and Joachim Timmermans, started the company as a joint venture with the aim of reshaping slot gaming. Early releases such as Big Bad Wolf quickly put the studio in the spotlight. That success caught the attention of Playtech, and in 2016 Quickspin joined the Playtech group.

Over the years Quickspin has introduced new gamification and promotion features, including its Achievements platform, which is designed to improve retention and casino revenue.

The studio holds licences from leading regulators, including the UK Gambling Commission, Sweden’s gambling authority and the Malta Gaming Authority, which reflects its commitment to safe and fair play. Its games run at major casinos worldwide, among them Casumo, Vera&John, Betsson, LeoVegas, Danske Spil and PokerStars.

From a Stockholm start-up to part of one of the industry’s largest groups:

Quickspin is owned by Playtech, one of the largest groups in iGaming. Co-founder Daniel Lindberg leads it as CEO, and annual revenue is estimated at between $10 million and $25 million.

Quickspin slots can be played for real money or for fun. For operators, the studio offers three things: the video slots themselves, promotional tools and a casino management platform.

The team sees itself as players first, so games are designed around what real players enjoy rather than as showcases for developers. New titles arrive every month, and the release calendar is planned a year in advance, which lets casinos schedule campaigns around upcoming launches.

Almost the whole catalogue works on mobile: 72 of the 77 slots Quickspin has designed are mobile compatible.

The Quickspin platform

The feature-rich platform keeps the products running smoothly. Operators can review game statistics, manage promotions and get support 24/7.

Quickspin Promote is the studio’s toolkit for winning and keeping players. Casinos can run tournaments, achievement programmes and challenges that build loyalty and give players a chance at sizeable rewards. It includes:

• Flexible Free Rounds: free play at any stake. The operator decides which players receive the rounds, what they are worth and whether wagering conditions apply.
• Feature Trigger: starts a free spins bonus round in any slot.
• Achievements: every Quickspin game contains six events. Achievements turns them into an extra layer of play across four levels, each with its own reward, and lets players win back part of their losses.
• Game Events: the six in-game events can power promotions. When a player reaches a set milestone, the system rewards them and notifies the operator.

Premium slots need current technology. Quickspin builds on an HTML5 framework, so its games adapt to mobile and desktop devices on every operating system.

The studio designs mobile-first: over 90% of its releases are optimised for phones, and it invests a lot of time in making the mobile experience as intuitive as desktop play.

The portfolio is not huge, but every title is worth a look. Themes are carefully chosen and often come from fairytales, and the art and music give Quickspin games a style that sets them apart from other big slot brands. Co-founder Joachim Timmermans has summed up the approach simply: the team builds the slots it loves to play, and it is fortunate that so many players share its taste.

Quickspin serves three markets: free-to-play, social and real-money online gambling.

Quickspin has won many awards. Highlights include:

Quickspin’s software is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (through Playtech), the UK Gambling Commission and other regulators, which means it has been tested and certified as safe and fair. Up-to-date encryption and other safeguards protect the games from third-party interference.

The studio also holds permits from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Beyond its many EGR awards, it has been recognised as a Hit Bolagen company in 2014, as a Great Place to Work and with a Di Gasell listing.

Quickspin games are live at leading brands such as:

• Casumo
• Betsson
• LeoVegas
• Bet365
• PokerStars

Quickspin is available through a single integration with our casino API, either on its own or as part of our Slots Bundle. You receive the full catalogue, and new releases are added after their official launch. In-game features such as free rounds stay intact, and high-resolution catalogue thumbnails update as new games arrive.

In the lobby, Quickspin works well as a storytelling row: fairytale titles such as Rapunzel’s Tower, Pied Piper and Big Bad Wolf sit naturally together. Because the studio plans its release calendar a year ahead, your CRM team can line up launch campaigns early, and Achievements and Game Events give players reasons to come back between releases.

The same connection opens the rest of our games catalogue: 3,600+ games from 170+ game providers.
