MrQ caps record breaking 2021 with EGR Slots Operator win
Fastest growing UK casino adds another trophy to the cabinet
MrQ has won EGR’s Slots Operator of the year, capping off a record breaking 2021.
The UK’s fastest growing online casino beat off fierce competition from some of the industry’s top names, including Kindred, Paddy Power and Sky Vegas, with the latter coming in as highly commended by the judges.
It is MrQ’s second award procured from the prestigious awards ceremony, following their 2019 accolade for “Rising Star”.
In just 12 months, the casino has seen a 375% year on year increase in slot spins, added over 600 curated games and awarded over 5 million free spins to players.
Savvas Fellas, Managing Director of MrQ commented on the victory, stating: “This award is a real acknowledgement of the outstanding team and the amazing work we’re doing, we were up against a lot of industry titans. We’ve been an underdog from the start; building our own platform, bootstrapping the business with a relatively small headcount and we even managed to get our first nationwide TV/Radio campaign out the door. We have some ambitious plans for 2022, the team and the culture we have are second to none, it’s because of them that we won’t be bearing the title of underdog for much longer.”
