Hacksaw Gaming has expanded its OpenRGS platform with the addition of Pineapple Play, marking the eighth studio to join the distribution network in just two and a half years of operations. The Australian game developer launches with debut title Coconut Chaos, a tropical-themed slot offering what the company describes as a quirky take on fruit-themed gaming.
The partnership follows Hacksaw's recent successful collaboration with Jinx Gaming and represents another significant milestone in the platform's rapid expansion since operations began. Founded in 2024, Pineapple Play brings over 30 years of combined industry experience to the OpenRGS portfolio.
Strategic Platform Growth
The addition strengthens Hacksaw's position as a technical distribution partner, with the OpenRGS platform continuing to attract diverse studio partnerships across different markets and gaming verticals.
"Partnering with Hacksaw Gaming is an exciting milestone in Pineapple Play's journey. As a technical powerhouse with an industry-leading distribution network, Hacksaw is the perfect partner for our vision. Together, we aim to push creative boundaries, bring bold ideas to life, and reach players around the world. We look forward to contributing to our shared success through standout releases and a distinct perspective on Hacksaw's OpenRGS platform."
— Cameron Fraser, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Pineapple Play
"We're thrilled to welcome Pineapple Play as a new OpenRGS partner, marking another step in the successful roll-out of our platform. Coconut Chaos is a strong debut game, and we're confident that Pineapple Play's fresh perspective will resonate with clients and players alike."
— Marcus Cordes, Operational CEO of Hacksaw Gaming
Partnership Evaluation
When evaluating B2B gaming platforms, consider the partner acquisition rate as a key indicator of platform stability. Platforms adding multiple studios annually typically offer more competitive revenue shares and superior technical infrastructure compared to slower-growing alternatives.
Platform Expansion Trajectory
The eighth studio addition demonstrates Hacksaw's accelerating partner acquisition rate, suggesting strong market confidence in the OpenRGS distribution model. With established studios increasingly seeking agile platform solutions, Hacksaw's technical infrastructure appears well-positioned to capitalise on demand from both emerging and experienced developers looking for global market access.
OpenRGS (Remote Gaming Server) is a technical platform that allows game studios to distribute their content through a single integration point. Unlike traditional distribution requiring individual operator agreements, OpenRGS provides immediate access to multiple casino operators through one partnership.
While specific timeframes aren't disclosed, OpenRGS platforms typically enable faster go-to-market compared to individual operator integrations. Studios can launch across the entire network simultaneously rather than negotiating separate deals with each casino operator.
A diverse studio portfolio reduces content dependency risks and creates cross-promotional opportunities between different game styles. This variety also makes the platform more attractive to operators seeking comprehensive content libraries from a single integration partner.
