Shacks Evolution Studios Grows Reach via QTech Games
Shacks Evolution Studios has signed a new deal with QTech Games. The move could help it reach more players in Africa — where online casino use keeps rising.

A New Deal Opens More Doors
QTech Games announced the agreement with Shacks Evolution Studios last week. The deal gives QTech partners access to Shacks’ full game range.
At first glance, the deal looks simple — a supplier joins a distributor. Yet the outcome could be wider. QTech keeps adding new content for its network. Shacks wants to reach more users beyond its main markets.
Built For Local Market Needs
Shacks Evolution Studios focuses on games made for African markets. The company keeps design simple and easy to run on many devices. This includes:
Games that work on basic smartphones
Support for slower internet speeds
Options for local languages and money use
These points matter — many users still face limits in data and devices. Not every player has fast internet or new phones.
QTech Strengthens Its Game Mix
For QTech Games, the deal adds more choice for its partner casinos. The company aims to offer games that match local habits and demand.
Executives say players prefer clear rules and familiar game styles. Short sessions also attract younger users in many markets. Beyond that, local themes may help keep users engaged longer.
QTech has added other suppliers in recent months as well. The Shacks deal continues that path — building a wider game mix for operators.
Leaders Point to Future Growth
Esther Osifo, Growth and Operations Manager at Shacks, spoke about the deal. She said it may help the company reach new users and partners. She added that Shacks wants to support local developers and grow regional content. The goal is to build a stronger market over time.
Meanwhile, Philip Doftvik, CEO of QTech Games, stressed the need for local focus. He said player needs change fast in growing markets — and companies must adapt. He also noted that mobile use and payment habits shape how games perform.
A Step İnto a Growing Market
The deal reflects a wider move in the online casino space. Many firms now look to regions with rising mobile use. Africa stands out — with a young audience and steady digital growth.
Nevertheless, some limits remain, especially in tech and access. Firms that adjust to these issues may do better. For now, the Shacks and QTech deal looks timely — as both aim to grow in new markets.
