Leap Gaming - Interview with Christopher Whittle
Leap Gaming’s catalogue includes 3D video slots, esports, tailored offers, live betting and other products. In this interview, the provider outlines its approach to testing, quality, compliance, ongoing monitoring and transparency in its operator relationships. These are company statements reported at the time, not an independent assessment.
In this interview, Christopher Whittle, Leap Gaming’s Casino Product Manager, looked back at the provider’s earlier work, its current direction and what it hoped to develop next. He said he had been with Leap Gaming for almost two years.
Q1.: Hi, please introduce yourself and your role in Leap Gaming
Hi Al Buraq Regina, I’m Christopher Whittle, Casino Product Manager at LEAP-Gaming, where I work to bring partners our latest i-gaming content through the company’s distribution channels. I also support team objectives and advise on game design and development priorities. The goal is to launch new products while maintaining the quality Leap’s players expect.
Q2.: Which was Leap Gaming’s vision when the Company was founded and how did it evolve within time?
LEAP was founded with the goal of building a comprehensive casino game catalogue centred on gamers’ needs. The company also values learning and professional development across the organization. Whittle said this commitment to quality helps the content improve with each release, while the founding principles continue to guide employees’ work.
Q3.: Leap Gaming’s offer is quite impressive: Instant Sports, Slots, Table Games, Lottery etc., which is the most popular product?
At the time, Whittle said virtual sports were drawing strong interest and accounted for the largest share of Leap’s revenue. He also described growth in the traditional casino range, which he attributed to the quality of the products in development.
Q4.: You are focusing in 3D games. Why and which are the pros of this choice?
Leap chooses between 2D and 3D production based on each game’s requirements, following a quality-first approach across virtual products and slots. Whittle explained that a realistic racecourse or an animated four-legged animal may call for a 3D pipeline that 2D cannot deliver. He also noted emerging uses of REAL live-action footage combined with game-engine graphics, with the longer-term possibility of placing players in virtual versions of real sports venues. The right method depends on the game.
Q5.: How do you stand out in a highly competitive market as the Online Gaming one?
Whittle pointed to Leap’s mobile-first and quality-first priorities, as well as its user-focused game design. He said the company viewed this approach as a way to stand out among leading Tier 1 providers worldwide.
Q6.: Leap Gaming recently acquired the UK license. How will this change your strategy?
Whittle said the UK online casino market had been a long-term focus and that this remained the case. He explained that the games were designed to meet the standards of the UK online casino market and the UKGC. Leap’s stated plan was to broaden distribution through selected publishing partners and, where possible, use direct integrations through its own RGS to extend the reach of its content.
Q7.: Are you aiming to get other licenses too (ex.: the Italian one)?
Whittle described licensing as essential to operating in regulated i-gaming markets. He said Leap aimed to obtain licenses to support operations in more countries, including markets where it was not yet licensed, such as the rapidly growing US market.
Q8.: Looking at the future, how do you think the Gaming Industry will change?
Whittle expected the casino industry to keep growing and evolving, with innovation and product quality continuing to advance across global i-gaming markets. He also anticipated further mergers and consolidation, alongside ongoing competition to lead the sector. Leap, he said, planned to grow, bring new gaming ideas to market and explore the potential of its products.
Q9.: You are soon to release Greyhounds Streak. Can you tell us more about it?
Whittle described Greyhounds Streak as featuring 6 greyhounds on a highly realistic track. Collecting 6 Medals awards a Free Bonus Round. Players can skip and re-bet, or press the Re-bet x2 button to double their stake. The interface can be customized to a brand, and the On-Demand feature starts a race once a bet is placed. Every player receives a uniquely generated game.
Q10.: Is there anything you would like to add?
Whittle said Leap planned to release Wild Joker and Sweet Vegas in June and July. Both were video Slot Games with distinctive mechanics and player-focused design, while drawing on more traditional i-Gaming conventions. He described them as combining new features with rules intended to be easy to understand from the first spin, and said the team hoped readers would enjoy playing them as much as it had enjoyed creating them.
