New launch: Launchpad, Nexteq's turnkey software platform for land-based
gaming

 

Nexteq (AIM: NXQ), a leading technology solutions provider to customers in
selected industrial markets, is pleased to announce the official launch of
Launchpad, a new Gaming Software platform for its Gaming brand, Quixant.

Unveiled at ICE Barcelona 2026, Launchpad is designed to make it simpler and
faster for customers to develop and run land-based casino games, such as slot
machines, in regulated markets worldwide. It is powered by Quixant's
established Software Suite, which has been used in the field for more than 20
years, and helps customers bring new games to market more efficiently, with
reliable performance and built-in regulatory support - which is critical in
gaming, where strict regulatory standards for fairness, security and player
protection must be met before games can be approved for deployment.

It builds on the Group's existing strengths, creating new customer
opportunities while strengthening and expanding the Group's offer to existing
hardware customers through added services and software-enabled support,
helping drive deeper, longer-term relationships over time.

Launchpad Overview

Launchpad is optimised for Quixant hardware and can be integrated into
existing customer systems. This allows game developers and gaming machine
manufacturers to focus on creating engaging content and player experiences,
while Quixant provides the underlying software platform that supports
security, compliance and game operations.

Launchpad is built for the global land-based gaming market and is adaptable
across different regulatory environments. It also supports online game
providers who want to enter the land-based casino sector, where requirements
are typically more complex and certification is essential. By providing a
ready-made, compliant software foundation, Launchpad offers these customers a
faster and lower-risk route into land-based deployment.

Launchpad has been pre-tested by GLI (Gaming Laboratories International), one
of the world's leading independent testing and certification bodies for
regulated gaming. GLI testing is an important step in the approval process for
gaming products, and this pre-testing helps customers to speed up formal
certification and deployment in regulated jurisdictions.

Launchpad brings together everything developers need into one platform, from
security and compliance to game management. The benefits include faster
time-to-market, lower total cost of ownership, seamless integration,
flexibility and optimised performance, with ongoing support through the
Quixant Hub, their dedicated resource and support portal. Launchpad was
extremely well received at ICE Barcelona 2026, with strong interest from both
existing Quixant customers and new prospects, with discussions now advancing
as adoption builds.

Duncan Faithfull, Chief Executive Officer of Nexteq plc, commented:

"Launchpad is a significant step forward for Nexteq and an important expansion
of our software offering for the land-based gaming market. It helps our
customers deliver games into regulated casino environments more quickly and
efficiently, supported by predictable performance and seamless integration
with Quixant hardware.

"Importantly, Launchpad also opens up new opportunities with online gaming
companies looking to bring their content into land-based venues, where
certification and compliance requirements are much higher. The extremely
positive reception at ICE Barcelona has helped us line up a number of early
adopters, reflecting Launchpad's relevance across both our existing customer
base and new entrants, and we continue to progress these conversations with
customers and prospects.

"The release of Launchpad reinforces our focus on innovation and supports our
strategy to diversify revenues, expand our product ecosystem and deliver
sustained growth in line with our 'signposts to success' roadmap."
