Quickspin

History of Quickspin

Quickspin was founded in 2011 in Stockholm by three industry veterans – Daniel Lindberg, Joachim Timmermans, and Mats Westerlund. The founders brought experience from major players like NetEnt and Unibet and shared a vision of building games they themselves wanted to play—visually immersive, creatively engaging, and built with original mechanics.

Quickspin quickly gained recognition in the online gaming space. Originally focused on the social gaming segment, the company later transitioned to real-money gambling, applying its B2C and B2B expertise to regulated casino environments. In May 2016, Quickspin was acquired by Playtech, a global leader in gambling software. This acquisition enabled Quickspin to expand its reach and resources while maintaining operational autonomy and a strong creative identity.

Today, Quickspin operates from its headquarters in Stockholm and maintains a satellite office in Malta to stay close to regulatory and commercial developments in key European markets.

Products and Features

• Video Slots: Quickspin’s core product line consists exclusively of video slots. These are designed with a strong emphasis on quality, innovation, and player engagement. Their games often include unique mechanics such as expanding wilds, multipliers, tumble mechanics, and achievement-based bonuses. The studio releases about 10 to 12 new slot games annually, ensuring a steady flow of fresh content for both operators and players.
• Slot Series: Quickspin has developed several popular slot series, including Sticky Bandits (Wild West theme with sticky wilds and free spins), Golden Glyph (Ancient Egypt-themed with power wilds and tumble mechanics), and The Wild Chase (featuring moving reel respins and multipliers).
• Progressive Jackpot Slots: The company has also entered the progressive jackpot segment. Titles like Dragon Chase include jackpot-triggering symbols and offer players a chance to win large, escalating prizes.
• Live Casino Games: Expanding beyond slots, Quickspin has launched live dealer games under the brand Quickspin Live.

Partnerships

Quickspin has grown its international presence through several strategic collaborations.

• Playtech: Since 2016, Quickspin has operated as a standalone unit within Playtech. This relationship has allowed the studio to benefit from Playtech’s technological infrastructure and market access, while still preserving its creative independence.

• Rank Group: A key distribution deal brought Quickspin’s titles to UK operators like Grosvenor Casinos and Mecca Bingo. This helped the company strengthen its presence in the competitive UK market.

• Relax Gaming: A long-term partnership with Relax Gaming enhanced Quickspin’s platform scalability and game distribution. As a result, the studio could deliver content more efficiently.

• SkillOnNet: Quickspin also extended its deal with SkillOnNet to enter new markets, including Ontario, Canada. This expansion supported the company’s growth in regulated jurisdictions.

These partnerships have enabled Quickspin to expand globally while continuing to focus on innovation and quality.

Regulatory Compliance and Responsible Gaming

Quickspin holds licenses from major regulators, including the UK Gambling Commission and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Additionally, the company is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified. This certification meets international standards for information security — a key factor for entering highly regulated markets.

Quickspin actively supports responsible gambling. It incorporates features such as session limits, self-exclusion tools, and customizable loss limits. The company also complies with evolving standards. For example, it has adapted game mechanics to align with UK regulations banning autoplay and quickspin functions. Furthermore, Quickspin is an official donor to the Responsible Gambling Trust, reinforcing its commitment to player protection.
