Hacksaw Gaming expands Swiss footprint with PASINO.ch deal
Hacksaw Gaming has strengthened its presence in Switzerland after launching its slot portfolio with PASINO.ch, further expanding the supplier’s reach in one of Europe’s most tightly regulated online gambling markets.
Under the new agreement, players at PASINO.ch will gain access to a selection of Hacksaw’s popular titles, with the Malta-based studio continuing its aggressive push across regulated European jurisdictions.
Known for high-volatility releases and mobile-first design, Hacksaw Gaming has become one of the fastest-growing slot suppliers in the global iGaming sector. The company has built a strong reputation through hit titles such as Wanted Dead or a Wild, Chaos Crew and Le Bandit, while also expanding rapidly across regulated markets including the UK, Malta, Sweden, Ontario and increasingly mainland Europe.
PASINO.ch Casino Manager Toanui Maitere said the addition of Hacksaw’s games was a huge win for players in Switzerland.
“We are proud to welcome Hacksaw Gaming to PASINO.ch,” he said.
“Their proven ability to deliver distinctive, high-performing content makes them a valuable addition to our portfolio as we continue to strengthen our gaming proposition for Swiss players.”
PASINO.ch is operated by Casino du Lac Meyrin SA and is backed by Groupe Partouche, one of Europe’s largest land-based casino operators with a long-standing presence across France, Switzerland and Belgium.
The operator holds a Swiss federal casino licence (2023-B-14) alongside an extension to offer online gaming under licence 2023-B-14-E, allowing PASINO.ch to legally provide online casino products to Swiss residents. The platform is regulated by the Swiss Federal Gaming Board and is restricted to players located in Switzerland with Swiss banking access.
PASINO.ch has established itself as one of the better-known regulated online casino brands in French-speaking Switzerland, offering more than 2,000 games across online slots, table games and live casino products. The site has steadily grown since launch and carries strong brand recognition thanks to Partouche’s land-based casino footprint and Casino du Lac’s Geneva presence.
The deal marks another important step in Hacksaw’s expansion in Switzerland, following recent partnerships with locally licensed operators as the supplier continues to target high-value regulated markets across Europe.
“PASINO.ch has built a strong reputation for delivering a premium casino experience, and we’re excited to bring our distinctive content to their players in the locally licensed Swiss market,” Operational CEO of Hacksaw Gaming Marcus Cordes said.
Switzerland remains one of Europe’s most restrictive but lucrative online gambling markets. Since reforms under the Federal Act on Money Games came into effect in 2019, only licensed Swiss land-based casinos have been permitted to offer online casino products, either directly or through approved online extensions.
That closed licensing model has created a highly controlled market with relatively limited competition compared to major European jurisdictions, but it has also produced strong player trust, high compliance standards and significant revenue for licensed operators. For suppliers like Hacksaw, securing partnerships with licensed Swiss operators offers access to a stable and tightly regulated market with strong long-term growth potential.
