Quickspin Co-Founder Westerlund Named Fantasma Games’ Senior Advisor

Mats Westerlund, the well-known name in the gambling industry and Quickspin co-founder, has been named the senior advisor and partner of Fantasma Games.

He was also taking part in producing successful slot games such as NetEnt’s Starburst and Jack Hammer, as well as Quickspins Big Bad Wolf.

Mutual Satisfaction

CEO and founder of Fantasma Games, Fredrik Johansson, said of this appointment:

”Mats Westerlund is one of the greatest game producers in the industry. We are thrilled that he has chosen Fantasma to continue his magnificent work.”

Westerlund will have a pivotal role in Fantasma, where he will become a partner and an advisor for the game production. It is said that the first game under his supervision will come out in spring of 2021.

Westerlund himself said:

“I couldn’t be happier right now. My friends at Fantasma made me love the idea of working with games again. They are a group of passionate people with great management and culture. This is an excellent way for me to have fun as an advisor, and also produce a game or two with an exceptional team. I can’t wait to get started!”

The brand’s upcoming slot game is Hades: River of Souls, which will be launched on June 22nd.

Deal With Relax Gaming

Fantasma has been quite dormant since last fall in terms of activity on the market…

…when their last notable expansion was with Relax Gaming that added the supplier to its Silver Buller partnership program.

This partnership involved a selection of next-generation slots from Fantasma to Relax’s own aggregation platforms.

Relax officials stated that their new partner has a strong focus on creating slots for the next generation of player and as the company has a series of exciting releases planned, this addition of unique content to rapidly-growing distribution platform would be widely beneficial.
