Swiss Casinos Technology AG has built its own aggregation layer with hizi.aggregation. It feeds ReelLink, the company's casino-floor technology, with games from the studios Swiss Casinos has contracted, and it serves Swiss Casinos Online on top of the operator's Playtech platform. hizi.io supplies the software and builds the integrations. The aggregator is theirs.
ReelLink delivers certified online game content to existing slot machines on the casino floor, fully integrated with the casino management system. It is approved in Switzerland, certified by BMM Testlabs, and has been live on Swiss Casinos' floors since its debut in January 2026. Swiss Casinos, which describes itself as the largest multi-channel casino operator in Switzerland, built ReelLink in-house and moved it into a dedicated company, Swiss Casinos Technology AG, to take it to other land-based operators.

ReelLink's tagline is "Unchain the game experience", and the claim behind it is the novel part. A studio's game is the same build on the cabinet as in the browser: one code base, served from the studio's own game server, rendered on a slot machine that is wired into the casino's management system. Online game suppliers, until now chained to the browser, reach the casino floor without a land-based port and without a cabinet manufacturer's development cycle. That is what an omni-channel experience on one code base means in practice, and it is the same reason one aggregation layer can serve the floor and the online lobby alike.
A floor that can run online games needs the online studios behind them, and every studio comes with its own server, its own API and its own way of handling sessions, wallets and round data. Most operators get there by signing with an aggregator, which brings its own content deals and sits between the operator and every studio. Swiss Casinos took the other route: it contracts the studios directly and runs its own aggregation layer, built with hizi.aggregation. ReelLink integrates once against that layer and sees one API, one wallet flow and one data model no matter where a game comes from. hizi.io builds and maintains the studio integrations, so adding a studio is work on the hizi.io side, not a new project for ReelLink.
The roles are worth spelling out, because hizi.io is not an aggregator and does not intend to become one. Swiss Casinos holds the commercial agreements with the studios, decides what goes live and where, and runs the floor and the lobby. The studios keep running their games on their own servers. hizi.io provides the aggregation software and builds the integrations. It has no commercial relationship with the studios listed below.
One integration, two channels
Studios on the Swiss Casinos aggregation layer
Integration status as of September 2026. Which titles go live, and where, is decided by Swiss Casinos and the individual studios.
The studios above are content partners of Swiss Casinos. hizi.io builds the technical integrations; it holds no agreements with these studios.
The same layer, online
The second part of the agreement is the one we find special. The same aggregation layer also serves Swiss Casinos Online, the group's online casino, which runs on a Playtech platform. It sits on top of that platform and brings the studios above into the online lobby through the same integration that feeds the floor. A studio connected once can be offered on both channels, and Swiss Casinos decides what goes where.
Robert Lenzhofer, CEO of hizi.io, said:
"We are not an aggregator and we don't want to be one. We build the software that lets an operator run its own aggregation. Swiss Casinos brought its own studio agreements and a floor that was already live; what they needed was the layer in between, built once, for the floor through ReelLink and online next to Playtech. That is what hizi.aggregation is for, and a regulated Swiss operator is the right first partner to prove it with."
Open to the next partner
Swiss Casinos is the first partner using hizi.aggregation in production. Running your own aggregation layer, with your own studio contracts, is a hizi.enterprise engagement: every studio integration is built and maintained by hizi.io, and that is hands-on work per studio, scoped and priced per partner rather than sold off the price list. The integrations built for Swiss Casinos are generic and available to the next partner. The agreements with the studios are theirs to make.
