Hacksaw Gaming has marked significant operational milestones in April, expanding its OpenRGS platform to ten partner studios while securing industry recognition and new market partnerships.
The provider added Good Times Studios as the tenth studio on its OpenRGS platform, immediately launching with Avalanche, described as an "icy debut with serious impact." This expansion reinforces Hacksaw's strategy of building a diverse studio ecosystem beyond its proprietary content.
Market Recognition and Partnerships
Hacksaw Gaming claimed the Studio of the Year (Medium) award at the SBC Awards, validating its position in the competitive provider landscape. The company also secured a new partnership with RETABET, extending its reach across Spain and Peru – part of broader Latin American expansion efforts.
The provider hosted what it described as its "biggest client event to date" at SiGMA South America, underlining its commitment to regional market development.
Content Pipeline Acceleration
April saw Hacksaw release six proprietary titles spanning multiple themes. Epic Bullets and Bounty marked the return of its Western-themed series, while Munchy Milo introduced space-themed mechanics. Marlin Masters: Atlantis continued the aquatic franchise, and Dynasty of Death delivered underworld-themed gameplay.
Power of Ten brought classic glamour elements, while the portfolio demonstrated Hacksaw's strategy of maintaining diverse thematic approaches across its release schedule.
OpenRGS Studio Performance
Partner studios contributed six additional releases through the OpenRGS platform. Bullshark Games led with three titles including Crowned Corners and Junkyard Kings 2, while NowNow Gaming delivered Peek & Pounce. Hacksaw Gaming has expanded its OpenRGS platform with Pineapple Play and Trusty Gaming each contributing single releases.
The OpenRGS platform now supports ten studios, creating a substantial content distribution network for operators seeking diverse provider options.
Integration Timeline
OpenRGS platform integrations typically complete within 2-4 weeks for experienced studios, with technical documentation and certification processes streamlined through Hacksaw's developer portal. New partners often see their first releases go live within 30-45 days of initial contact.
Forward Release Schedule
Hacksaw has outlined an ambitious May schedule with five proprietary releases, including Le Digger (7 May) and 3 Cursed Chests: Hold & Win (28 May). OpenRGS partners will contribute five additional titles, with Aloha Gaming leading through Tikitopia BoosterBelt™.
Strategic Implications for Operators
The expansion to ten OpenRGS studios creates significant content volume for operators, while the RETABET partnership demonstrates Hacksaw Gaming's ability to secure tier-one operator relationships in regulated markets. The SBC Award recognition may strengthen its position in upcoming procurement discussions, particularly as operators evaluate provider portfolios for 2026 planning cycles.
