Interview with TaDa Gaming’s Ray Lee

TaDa Gaming has been steadily building up a presence across regulated markets, with a laser-focus on slot innovation, gamification, and localised player experiences. After being heavily involved in other regulated markets, the provider broke into the UK scene in 2025, and has begun to establish itself with both operators and players. We sat down with the Director of Business Development, Ray Lee, to discuss how the brand is approaching such a competitive market, the role of localisation and gamification in its strategy, and what lies ahead.

Mark: What made TaDa enter the established UK market?

Ray: Even though the UK is an established market, we were confident we had a strong proposition for UK-facing operators with our regulated-market credentials and diverse portfolio to give differentiation for operators and a new way to play and win for their customers.

Many UK operators target the same players. Our 230+ game portfolio, gamification tools and global entertainment approach deliver new skill-based and challenging experiences that meet player demand. 

Mark: What do TaDa slots bring to the UK market?

Ray: Hit the Cash™ games are built on a signature feature combo of jackpots, multipliers and the lock & respin mechanic, so Coin of Lightning and Fortune Coins 2 have really resonated with players, affiliates and streamers alike as the lock & respin – or Hold & Win – mechanic is still an effective driver of player choice and engagement.

2026 release, Fortune Hook Antarctic, is currently enjoying impressive numbers for DAUs, repeat plays and increased rounds.

The popular fishing theme is represented in fantastic cartoon style. Crisp graphics, smooth animations and witty touches include the penguins and a unique progression meter that turns the photo montage from B/W to colour with each win. Enhanced with accumulative multiplier wilds, scatters, generous free spins and a random bonus game, UK players are voting with their thumbs on this slot.

All our certified releases benefit from built-in retention mechanics and expert localisation.

So our TriLuck™ triple pots game, 3 Coins Treasure 2 landed with players through its combination of significant win potential and recognisable mechanics; while Gold Mine Express and Leprechaun’s Gold Streak quickly saw high engagement rates through their immersive gameplay and expert localisation.

Mark: Localisation is currently a major discussion point. Can you tell us a bit more about your approach?

Ray: Our localisation is built on our glocalisation strategy of global core mechanic/local content in action. This focuses on tailoring and personalising our games across theme, volatility, mechanics, spin speed, session length and layout/navigation to suit the target market and player preferences.

It’s so much more than translation as we look to understand player psychology and culture, as well as ensuring we are fully compliant with all local regulations. 

This awareness of local market nuances and culture aligned to solid features, balanced maths models and innovative mechanics creates anticipation and excitement with players who feel that our games have been made for them.

One size does not fit all with us.

Mark: What’s TaDa’s position on gamification?

Ray: Well, we won Innovation of the Year 2025 for GiftCode, a one click instant reward: and we’re currently nominated for Game Mechanism of the Year with WIN CARD, a radically different tool which rewards success in reaching specific levels and can be stored or used immediately.

We designed our gamification tools to add layers for players and to help operators drive valuable player retention and session length, so new additions Hot Hand and Highlights further add to this experience. 

Hot Hand leverages GiftCode’s instant reward capability through increasing engagement. Our new tool, Highlights, enables players to save, rewatch and share their biggest experiences on social media.

This creates authentic user-generated content as well as giving better gaming experiences for players and streamers.

Mark: TaDa has worked successfully with streamers in Latin America: any plans to do this elsewhere?

Ray: Short answer is yes. However, each collaboration will be tailored for the local market. Brazil is a unique market for streaming, with players following influencers rather than content providers. 

For Europe and the UK, the stricter rules around advertising and features like the buy bonus will require a completely different approach to design, features and compliance requirements for co-branded games: and a razor sharp strategy on choice of streamer and highlight releases.

All our games are multi-featured with inter-triggering mechanics and our high action fish-shooting titles are very streamable. So there is already interest from KOLs and influencers in working with us, which is a very positive start.

Mark: Which UK operators are you working with and why?

Ray: We launched multiple new client signings simultaneously with leading UK-facing operators including Midnite, Mr Vegas, ProgressPlay, SkillOnNet and VideoSlots.

Their players fit our target market and these operators were on board with introducing our fish-shooting to a new player base while maximising our brand exposure. 

Alongside our diverse portfolio, these forward-looking operators also bought into our licenced and certified position. The UKGC licence is a strong credibility signal in the UK for operators seeking compliant suppliers as well as the Tier One operators who will only work with UK licenced providers. 

With the UK iGaming business model shifting to sustainable growth through responsible practices, providers like us deliver retention through engagement, visibility through differentiation, provably fair games and are globally regulated so we bring genuine value to partnerships.

We also have new collaborations and partnerships in the pipeline and will be announcing these imminently.

Mark: What’s coming next from TaDa?

Ray: Differentiation is critical in the UK and content fatigue is always on our mind.

We offer nearly 50 games for the UK market and are constantly certifying more releases for players there, alongside a stream of certified games for Belgium, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

We release four new titles monthly including crash, fish-shooting and table games so there is a constant flow of new content. We also have fantastic new collaborations to announce plus an exciting roadmap for the remainder of 2026.
