Shacks Evolution Studios to reach new players

Under the terms of the new content agreement, QTech Games’ growing portfolio of customers will be able to access Shacks Evolution Studios’ expansive catalogue. Offering customized games, specifically matching the requirements of Africa, the supplier’s portfolio encompasses a range of titles, including but not limited to virtual content, crash and instant-win games, among others. Recognized as a quality online casino games provider, Shacks Evolution Studios was founded in 2021. Besides targeting the market in Africa, the company offers quality games for other untapped and emerging international markets. Still, Shacks Evolution Studios is renowned for its carefully curated and developed content in Africa, which addresses specific challenges such as the use of low-end phones, latency-related issues, local language, currencies and other barriers. Only recently, QTech Games grew its offering with games from Evolution’s brand, Tap-A-Roo.

The agreement is expected to be mutually beneficial

Esther Osifo, Shacks Evolution studios’ Growth and Operations Manager, spoke with excitement about the new content deal, Casino Guru News learned from a press release. Shacks is all about giving promising African developers the chance to shine. It’s about building a full ecosystem from virtuals and crash games to homegrown titles that define Africa’s ascendant position on the iGaming map, the executive said. According to Osifo, tapping into QTech Games’ platform, Shacks Evolution Studios can access new audiences, which is especially vital for markets such as Africa. We can’t wait to see how our highly engaging games perform for a host of new local operators, including both established and challenger brands, Osifo said in conclusion. Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, added that the company remains dedicated to delivering more high-quality casino games in Africa. He explained that the alliance with Shacks Evolution Studios delivers a wide range of games that fit the local requirements and address challenges. Being local is always vital, and it’s a domain of igaming activity in which QTech excels. In high-growth regions like Africa, content diversity matters enormously because player demand evolves very quickly — and it’s also shaped by local realities such as mobile usage, data costs, device types, and payment preferences, Doftvik pointed out. According to QTech Games’ boss, the company has identified key aspects of the gambling market in Africa, such as the need for familiar mechanics that can decrease friction. At the same time, Doftvik said that themes local to the market boost engagement, while fast-paced gameplay is received well by younger audiences. Last but not least, the executive said that the games from Shacks Evolution Studios match perfectly the requirements of the market in Africa.
