Quickspin – from social to real money games

Quickspin game studio is one of the most promising and original slot manufacturers out there with popular titles like Goldilocks and the unique Big Bad Wolf in their portfolio.

So far, some of their most promising titles have only been available for social gaming. 2013 promises to be the big breakthrough year for Quickspin, as they attempt a full-scale transition to real money gaming.

Established 1,5 years ago, the studio is still relatively young, yet people behind it have a wealth of experience. Two out of three founding members are former employees of NetEnt, and the third member, Joachim Timmermans, used to be the head of online casino for Unibet.

Quickspin’s Big Hits

The company has about 6 ready games, half of which are live with online casinos like Mr. Green and Betsson. The other games are available for free play on Facebook.

Quickspin’s biggest hit, Beowulf, is an epic story of a Scandinavian hero and dragon-slayer, summoned to help the King of Denmark. As of this moment, the game is only available on Facebook, but Quickspin anticipates that once Beowulf makes a transition to real money casinos, it will become a crucial part of their success in 2013.

Already live at partner casinos is Goldilocks, the classic tale of three bears and a little lost girl. Interestingly, the game is a favorite of high-roller players, who like the volatile free spins feature, which can award massive amounts of money.

Slots are all about entertainment

According to Timmermans, “Slots are played mainly for their entertainment value. It is something people do instead of going to a movie or a theme park, a chance to have some fun, and spend half an hour by playing some video slots. Our games have been built with Facebook in mind, so a good story and fun gameplay are an important part of our products”.

2013 is set to be a big year for Quickspin

At their core, social media games are not different from real money games, so in 2013 the goal will be to carry the success of Facebook games over to online casinos and real money gaming.

Supernova is the latest release from Quickspin. The game is already available at Mr. Green and Betsafe casinos. Supernova is a good choice for those who like to play big, and the high-rolling risk-seekers are loving it.

Treasure Island is scheduled go live on Facebook in March, and time will tell if the new release follows Beowulf’s success and becomes Quickspin’s most popular social game yet.
