OLBG has ramped up its in-house content production this year with the launch of a new interview series focused on casino, and specifically online slot game development. 

Industry legend Chris Taylor, who has 20 years’ experience in the field, has spearheaded a fun new series which is sure to attract plenty of attention as it delves into some of the most fascinating creative talent and technical feats of recent years, from a wide range of studios. 

Taylor, who joined OLBG just six months ago in April, has been a stalwart of the iGaming industry ever since he started his own slots site back in 2011.

In his new remit as Head of Slots at OLBG, Taylor is not only overseeing all things slots, he’s also bringing the best and brightest names in the industry together for a new series. 

OLBG Slots Series, which began in July 2024, has so far featured the creators of some of the world’s most popular slots games, including Pragmatic Play, Nolimit City, Push Gaming and 4ThePlayer.

High-profile guests to date include Nolimit City head of product Per Lindheimer and Push Gaming studio head Amit Samji, while the super relevant series has gained hundreds of pageviews for flagship OLBG website, OLBG. com.

Shared best practice

“One of the best things about the gaming industry is the willingness to share best practice, because iGaming isn’t just a job for so many of us – it’s a passion,” said Taylor. 

“The stories told so far have also put paid to the outdated view that there is a lack of innovation in online slots, with every company striving to make their mark in a unique way.

“Our slots series aims to bring players one step closer to studios with a chance to understand the process behind what goes into creating some of their favourite games. 

“It even gives casino fans an exclusive sneak peek over what to expect in future,” he added. 

Technology, regulation and game mechanics are all brought to the forefront in this new long-form content, with industry heavyweights Relax Gaming and Print Studios set to appear on the series soon.

Established in 2002, OLBG began as a guide to the best betting sites and latest offers with information to help sports bettors place bets online with UK-licensed operators.

Later, Online Betting Guide became more affectionately known as OLBG, and now provides guides and information covering casino and slots, as well as sports betting.

The Q&A series is a natural progression of OLBG’s internal content strategy in the slots vertical, allowing the business to delve deeper into the latest industry trends and brand insights. 

QTech Games, the leading game distributor for emerging markets, has penned its latest provider partnership with Slotopia, enabling its platform customers to access the supplier’s multi-faceted slots catalogue.

Slotopia, an emerging force in the iGaming domain, draws from a deep well of slot games – including titles such as its latest hit Hellfire Joker, and perennial classics like Candy Luck, Green Hat Magic and its Sizzling Sevens series, with the eagerly-anticipated Immortal Treasures soon to arrive. Such hits invariably feature fresh twists on classic themes, and all now form part of a progressive portfolio made available to QTech Games and its clients. 

By deploying the state-of-the-art technology, Slotopia games are fully optimised for mobile as well as desktop to ensure the best gaming experience for all types of players. With a global-market approach, these games cater for every taste, from the more traditional Vegas-style to modern casual themes. Their well-balanced gameplay mechanics and exceptional design are already attracting new cohorts of players across the planet.

Incorporating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop, QTech ONE™, which has fast-become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories.

The agreement naturally broadens Slotopia’s geographic footprint, targeting markets from Asia and Eastern Europe to Latin America, and creating new revenue streams. As the fastest-growing distributor over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.

QTech Games CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “It’s another feather in our cap to have integrated more premium content from Slotopia. Theirs is a growing and constantly innovating library, delivering consistent support to the growth of our broad gaming-vertical spread, courtesy of some quality graphics, gameplay and unique features.

“Slotopia opens up a veritable anthology of classic slots, reimagined with a modern touch. You get exclusive access to online slots that are new to the market yet familiar and relatable to players. 

“Together, we will continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players. We can’t wait to witness how these games perform across a range of untapped markets which, in many cases, represent new territory for Slotopia.”
