Gaming Innovation Group (GIG) has entered into a partnership with Hong Kong-based game studio, D-Tech in which it has acquired a 36 percent stake in the company for a Euro 360,000 consideration.
“We are very happy with this investment and with the partnership between us and D-Tech,” Mathias Larsson, managing director of GIG Games, said. “The people behind the studio are industry veterans and masters of their craft. So we know that they will produce great games.
“Investing in an Asian game studio helps us build games for Asian players in Europe, effectively increasing our output in number of games per year to match the volume of larger game providers in the industry.”
A selection of D-Tech content will be built directly into GIG Games’ Remote Gaming Server and be branded GiG Games. Following launch, this content will enjoy a period of exclusivity on GIG’s own casino brands before a wider rollout to other operators.
D-Tech aims to launch ten games in 2018, the first of which will be ‘Year of Dog’ in March 2018. As part of the deal, GiG will receive eight exclusive titles.
“GiG’s entrepreneurial and innovative culture is a perfect fit with our own and this deal provides D-Tech with a fantastic opportunity to team up with the leading innovative iGaming operator while we focus on building games for Asian players,” added Harmen Brenninkmeijer, Founder of D-Tech.
