Scientific Games Corporation has agreed a deal to distribute mobile-first slots and instant win games from Hacksaw Gaming to regulated markets worldwide, a move which the firm said will boost its OpenGaming content offering.
The agreement will see the Malta-based studio Hacksaw, whose hit titles include Chaos Crew and Cubes 2, go live this summer initially with OpenGaming partners in the UK and other regulated markets with exclusivity on the platform in the US and Canada later this year.
In addition to this exclusivity, the both parties will be working together on an exclusive slot and instant win game which will be exclusive to operators using OGS later in 2021.
Hacksaw Gaming’s expanding content portfolio comprises more than 60 titles, featuring a mix of scratch cards and slots in conjunction with a set of responsible gambling tools.
The full integration with the OpenGaming ecosystem was completed in a record time of only five weeks and OGS customers will get access to Hacksaw’s range of content in August.
Marcus Cordes, COO at Hacksaw Gaming, said: “Partnering with Scientific Games is a huge milestone for Hacksaw Gaming. Scientific Games is one of the industry’s largest content distribution networks, so being able to deliver content through one channel to multiple operators with international presence will help with our growth strategy in the years to come.
“As a fairly new provider, it’s really great to know industry leaders such as Scientific Games want to work with us and see the potential in our content for their operators. Our current portfolio is very strong and we are confident that this partnership will only enhance our position in the market even further to ensure great success for both parties.”
Dylan Slaney, SVP Gaming, Digital at Scientific Games, said: “This deal with Hacksaw Gaming assists in our mission to bring the widest variety of ground-breaking content into the OpenGaming ecosystem.
“With its strong offering of scratch cards and slots games, the partnership provides operators with the ability to differentiate their product offering, using our powerful platform in order to appeal to new players.”
