Hacksaw Gaming, Mobile First games provider has boasted “huge growth” since launching in September 2018, with the developer continuing to grow since securing their UK entry.
This has been through the Malta-based firm being granted regulatory approval to launch in the region following them receiving a UK Gambling Commission supplier licence.
Through receiving this green-light, Hacksaw is to offer its scratch cards to players throughout the jurisdiction for the first time.
Besides gaining entrance into the UK market, Hacksaw has also announced the release of their first slot game dubbed ‘Stick ‘Em!’, with the retro themed slot being launched last month to all of the firm’s partners.
Marcus Cordes, COO at Hacksaw Gaming, said on the licence approval: “This is a huge step for us as a company, the UKGC is known to have strict regulations to comply with so having the licence granted to us represents a significant milestone.
“In just under a year we have managed to secure both MGA and UKGC licenses and this is just the start. Our sales team will now be focusing on branching out to UK based customers and gaining as much exposure as possible to reach as many players across the country.”
When speaking to CasinoBeats earlier this year regarding the current growth surrounding the scratch card segment and the thought process behind a mobile-first strategy, Cordes said: “We feel that this segment was in need for a fresh new look. Scratchcards need to be added to players radars as they are also an easy way of winning big.
“Instant wins can be just as successful as slots, proof being that our first €100,000 jackpot was won in Germany, 24 hours after LeoVegas released the game.
“Data proves that the majority of online casino operators have large traffic coming from mobile so it makes sense to have the mobile first strategy. We design purely based on mobile interaction and have seen that our clients are recognising this.”
