Fantasma Games adds more muscle to QTech Games’ premier platform
Asia’s No.1 distributor further enhances its high-quality offering with prized portfolio from NASDAQ First North-listed studio
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has announced its latest high-quality supplier alliance with Stockholm-based studio, Fantasma Games.
Under the terms of the agreement, Fantasma Games’ full content suite of next generation slots is now available to QTech Games clients and their players.
Fantasma Games has created some of the more memorable titles on the market, like the recently launched ELEMENTO or the popular Heroes Hunt (Megaways™) and Maze Escape (Megaways™), pushing the boundaries of slots creativity and volatility with the latest graphics and maths models that propel the player experience into the modern world.
This ever-evolving production line underscores QTech Games’ diverse domain of gaming verticals, providing a comprehensive one-stop shop, QTech ONE™, which has fast-become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories.
The agreement also widens Fantasma Games’ global influence, opening up margin markets from Asia and Eastern Europe to Latin America, and driving new revenues. QTech’s partners will now benefit from Fantasma’s signature “slots beyond gambling” ethos, improving player engagement for reliable retention in an increasingly competitive space.
As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the broadest 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, Ulf Norder, said: “We’re delighted to have teamed up with our long-standing friends at Fantasma Games, whose visually stunning and varied games always deliver. Our modus operandi is to continue adding premium content to QTech’s premier platform, coupled to our market-leading tech which accelerates growth. As a result, this timely collaboration provides another compelling case in point.
“We look forward to seeing how their games perform across a range of regions which, in certain instances, break new ground for them. QTech Games’ propriety technology means we’re the only aggregator that is not just delivering fantastic games but also updating engaging in-game features and tools which are constantly being upgraded and refined. It’s helped us carve out a unique position in the aggregation space at a time when many others are struggling to adapt and positively delineate themselves in the changing landscape.”
Fredrik Johansson, founder and Commercial Director of Fantasma Games AB (Publ.), said: “We’ve been reinvigorating the slots space with deeper gaming experiences for a while. Teaming up with QTech represents a great chance to widen our product distribution across emerging territories and deliver our fantastic content to a range of top-tier partners. Entering into this agreement is in line with our core strategy to maximize our reach. We can’t wait to see how our games will be received by new audiences. Exiting times ahead!”
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.

TWO PAGCOR MULTI-PURPOSE FACILITIES INAUGURATED IN TARLAC
Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco on Monday, March 18, led the inauguration of two newly completed multi-purpose centers in the towns of San Manuel and Victoria in the province of Tarlac.
Mr. Tengco said the state gaming agency provided a total of Php100 million for both of the two-story projects.
“Naglaan ang PAGCOR ng limampung milyong piso para sa bawat multi-purpose center sa bayan ng San Manuel at Victoria; mayroon itong iba’t ibang pasilidad gaya ng kusina, storage areas para sa relief goods, toilet at shower rooms, lactating rooms at maluwag na activity area para sa iba’t ibang gawain,” he said.
The PAGCOR chief said that because the Philippines is very vulnerable to climate change, “typhoons, floods and earthquakes are common occurrences that we must always be prepared for.”
However, he stressed that while the buildings are primarily designed as temporary shelters during emergencies, the structures can be used for various socio-civic activities, too.
“During the height of the pandemic, when the project was rolled out, there was a high demand for quarantine and evacuation facilities. But now, there is more sense to call these as multi-purpose centers rather than just evacuation facilities,” Chairman Tengco said.
“You may use this facility as your social hall, events area, and livelihood training center. You may also use this building to generate revenues for the local government,” he said.
During the event, Chairman Tengco also introduced PAGCOR’s upcoming flagship programs which include school buildings for public schools, e-learning centers, community wellness centers, and socio civic centers nationwide.
“These upcoming flagship projects are designed to create lasting impact on the lives of ordinary Filipinos,” he said. “These are just some of our nation-building efforts because as you are all aware, PAGCOR is the third largest revenue contributor to the national coffers.”
San Manuel Mayor Doña Cresencia Tesoro thanked the PAGCOR chief for the agency’s support.
“We are grateful that PAGCOR saw our need. This multi-purpose center is so far the biggest project that we have seen in San Manuel, and this is proof of PAGCOR’s commitment to serve the Filipinos,” she said.
“We thank everyone who made this dream come to life. Rest assured that we will use this to enrich the lives of our people and the generations to come,” Tesoro added.
Board Member Harmes Sembrano of the 2nd District of Tarlac also expressed gratitude to PAGCOR for funding the two-story multi-purpose facility in Victoria.
“With our limited resources, we cannot afford to fund all programs that will be beneficial to the people of Tarlac. But because of PAGCOR’s help, we have this new multi-purpose facility which will serve not only the locals of Victoria but also those from neighboring towns,” Sembrano said.
PAGCOR has thus far completed and inaugurated 38 multi-purpose buildings in different parts of the country while 34 others are still under construction.
