Quickspin

History

Quickspin was founded in 2011 by Daniel Lindberg (CEO), Mats Westerlund (VP of Products) and Joachim Timmermans (VP of Strategy). Collectively, the trio have had years of experience in the online gaming and gambling industries with many top companies including NetEnt, Unibet and EA Games. The three entrepreneurs were confident they could develop a new standard of slots in terms of quality and playability, which they proceeded to do. In fact, they were so successful that in 2016 Quickspin was acquired for €50 million by software rival Playtech. It now operates as an independent subsidiary of Playtech.

Games Overview

The biggest reason for Quickspin's success is the quality of its slots. It uses the latest software to build slot games that are smooth and reliable, with engaging and interesting themes, and plenty of high-paying features. Despite its tiny range of titles (around 20), its games are popular amongst slot fans the world over, who can access them by joining one or more of Quickspin's partner sites. Notable Quickspin video slots are The Wild Chase, Genies Touch, Second Strike, Razortooth, Crystal Queen, Illuminous, Hidden Valley, Titan Thunder, Jewel Blast, King Colossus, Royal Frog, Sugar Trail, Firestorm and Big Bad Wolf.

Software Features

When Quickspin started, its games were developed in Flash and on the Quickfire platform of pioneering software firm, Microgaming. Interestingly, since the start of online gambling, Microgaming and Playtech - which bought Quickspin - have always been and still are great rivals. Quickspin also develops its games in HTML5. Like Flash, HTML5 is a browser-based instant play platform that lets you play games without downloading them. The big advantage of video slots developed in HTML5 is that they can be played on smart mobile phones and devices, just as quickly and easily as they can be on desktop online casinos.

Software Accreditation

In terms of accreditation, Quickspin is endorsed by one of the world's most respected and trusted online gambling jurisdictions, the United Kingdom. More accurately, Quickspin is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, who's many duties and responsibilities include ensuring that Quickspin's games are open and fair and don't pose a threat to children or vulnerable gamblers.

Conclusion

Quickspin is a premier developer of state-of-the-art social and online video slot games. Its games are fun, lucrative and packed with worthwhile features, which is why they are so popular. Its sole drawback is that it's released relatively few games. That said, with Quickspin now under the Playtech banner, there's a strong likelihood that the frequency of its new game releases will be increased.
