Overview

About Quickspin

Quickspin is a Swedish slot studio founded in 2011 by three former executives from Net Entertainment. The company built a reputation for polished, accessible slot experiences and introduced an innovative Achievements system that added progression mechanics to casino gaming.

Company History

Quickspin was founded in 2011 in Stockholm by Daniel Lindberg, Mats Westerlund, and Joachim Timmermann — all former senior employees of Net Entertainment. The founders brought institutional knowledge of the slot industry and built Quickspin into a premium studio known for accessible, well-crafted games. Playtech acquired Quickspin in 2016 for approximately €50 million, integrating the studio into its content portfolio while allowing it to continue operating independently from Stockholm.

Technology & Platform

Quickspin develops all games in HTML5 using a proprietary game engine. The studio's Achievements system is a client-side gamification layer built into its games, tracking player progress and awarding badges without requiring additional operator integration. Quickspin also offers a suite of operator promotional tools under its Free Round Bonus and Super Free Rounds features, enabling operators to run promotional campaigns at the game level.

Markets & Licensing

Quickspin holds licences from the Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, and Swedish Gambling Authority. As part of the Playtech group, Quickspin's games are distributed across Playtech's operator network spanning European regulated markets and beyond.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Quickspin Achievements system?

Quickspin's Achievements is a gamification layer that tracks player milestones within individual games, awarding badges and unlocking special features as players meet defined criteria. It is one of the early examples of social gaming mechanics applied to online slots.

Who owns Quickspin?

Quickspin is owned by Playtech, which acquired the studio in 2016. Despite the acquisition, Quickspin continues to operate as an independent brand from its Stockholm base, maintaining its own development team and release schedule.

What type of players do Quickspin games appeal to?

Quickspin games are generally designed with a casual to mid-core audience in mind. The studio prioritises accessible volatility profiles, polished visual presentation, and Scandinavian minimalist aesthetics rather than extreme high-volatility mechanics, making its titles well-suited to a broad player base.

What are Quickspin's most popular games?

Sakura Fortune, Troll Hunters, and Goldilocks are among Quickspin's most widely played titles. Tickets to the Stars and Wolf Hunters are also well-regarded for their mechanic design and visual quality. The studio releases a relatively modest number of titles per year, maintaining a focus on production quality.
