Frequently Asked Questions
Who founded Quickspin?

What is the Quickspin Achievements Engine?
The Achievements Engine is a gamification system that tracks player milestones across Quickspin games.

It was one of the first cross-game engagement systems in the iGaming industry.
How many slots has Quickspin released?

Does Playtech own Quickspin?
