Hacksaw Gaming demonstrated strong momentum in February despite the shorter month, expanding its studio network and delivering a substantial slate of new content across both its proprietary gaming division and OpenRGS platform.
Platform Expansion and Partnerships
The company's OpenRGS platform welcomed Foxhound Games as its newest partner studio, marking the debut developer's first integration with the aggregation service. The partnership launched with Mortal Oath, a dark-themed slot featuring demon hunters battling ancient evils.
Hacksaw Gaming also secured new distribution agreements with William Hill Italy and Delaware North in West Virginia, expanding its operator network in both European and US markets.
OpenRGS Platform Benefits
OpenRGS (Open Remote Game Server) platforms typically charge partner studios between 15-25% revenue share compared to traditional aggregators that may charge 30-40%. This model allows smaller developers to retain more revenue while accessing tier-1 operator networks that would otherwise require individual integration deals costing $50,000-100,000 per operator.
February Content Portfolio
Hacksaw Gaming released four proprietary titles during February:
- Le Fisherman – featuring character Smokey in an underwater adventure
- Zeus Ze Zecond – a sequel set in Ancient Greece with mythological themes
- Superstar Sevens – classic arcade-style slot with seven symbols
- Hot Ross – basketball-themed game set in RIP City
The Hacksaw OpenRGS platform delivered four additional titles from partner studios:
- Captain Coil by Bullshark Games – pirate and serpent-themed slot
- Thurisaz by Kitsune Studios – Viking-themed game featuring runes
- Penguin Royale by NowNow Gaming – Arctic adventure slot
- Mortal Oath by Foxhound Games – the studio's debut release

Market Positioning Strategy
The dual-platform approach allows Hacksaw Gaming to maintain its proprietary content development while leveraging third-party studios to increase release frequency and diversify themes. The OpenRGS model provides smaller developers with distribution infrastructure while giving operators access to a broader content library through a single integration.
