SkillOnNet Powers Up Quickspin Content in Ontario
Quickspin to hit SkillOnNet brands in Ontario thanks to deal extension
Global entertainment powerhouse SkillOnNet today announced it has extended its content partnership with Swedish online gaming studio Quickspin to the Ontario market.
Thanks to the new deal extension, players of SkillOnNet’s Ontario brands, such as PlayOJO, SlotsMagic, SpinGenie and KnightsSlots, will be able to enjoy Quickspin’s uniquely entertaining and innovative portfolio of slots, including brand-new titles like Reel Nightmare, Temple of Paw and Shields of Lambda.
And SkillOnNet, which launched in the newly regulated Ontario market in June 2022, believes the addition of Quickspin’s portfolio will bolster an already unmatched offering of localised content for its partners in Ontario.
Playtech-owned Quickspin boasts over 100 innovative, feature-rich slots, and its output is prolific. Recently, the company has been releasing one to two titles per month, while refusing to let the quality drop. Quickspin has been licensed in Ontario since April 2022, just weeks after the launch of the regulated market.
Jani Kontturi, Head of Games at SkillOnNet, said: “We’re thrilled we can finally bring the Quickspin universe to our Ontario players. The company has proved to be a valuable partner in other jurisdictions. It’s a prolific producer of top content that will help reinforce our position as a leading force in this exciting new market.”
Anthony DallaGiacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Quickspin said: “It’s great to increase our footprint in Ontario with our trusted partner, SkillOnNet, one of the leading brands in the industry and one who, like us, is fully committed to ensuring a safe and fair gaming experience for their Canadian players. The new market is experiencing incredible growth at the moment, and that’s an exciting thing to be a part of.”
