Licensing and Regulatory Compliance

Expanse Studios does not hold its own MGA license; instead, it partners with the B2B provider Every Matrix (Meridian Gaming Limited). All of its games are tested by the Malta Gaming Authority to ensure that RTPs are accurate and RNGs operate as intended.

Game Portfolio and Design

The studio’s catalogue includes a range of slot machines and casino games available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, various Balkan languages, and even Swahili. Their titles support various currencies, such as the euro and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. 

Examples include Maya’s Treasure, a South American-themed slot with cascading wins, multipliers, free spins, and a gamble feature; and Fairy in Wonderland, a slot that offers bonus rounds with additional levels and free spins with expanding wilds. 

Other titles, such as Evoj and Crazy Horses, incorporate unique gameplay elements that move beyond traditional slot mechanics.

Popular slots from Expanse Studios

Candy’s Bonanza

This slot features tumbling reels where symbols pay anywhere on the screen. The total number of matching symbols after each spin determines the win amount. During free spins, a random multiplier (up to 100x) is applied, and players can win over 21,100 times their bet. In addition, there is an option to boost the bet by 25% to increase the chance of triggering Scatter symbols, which start the free spins round (10 free spins, with 5 extra spins awarded when 3 or more Scatters appear). 

A bonus game is available for purchase at 100× the bet, and a progressive jackpot accumulates a percentage of each stake. The game provides separate RTP values for the main (97.28%), bonus (97.21%), and boosted (97.16%) modes, with UI elements displaying win, balance, and bet information.

Rich Panda

Set on a fixed 5-line layout, this slot pays wins from left to right, awarding only the highest win on each line. The Wild symbol replaces all symbols except Scatter. A special feature randomly selects a symbol (excluding Wild) during any spin, so that only that symbol, Wilds, or blanks remain, with additional spins potentially adding more of the selected symbols. Wins where all symbols are identical receive a 10× multiplier, with a maximum win of up to 2,500 times the total bet. 

A progressive jackpot is also part of the game, with a percentage of each stake contributing to its growth. UI displays include win, balance, and current bet options, while the game maintains an RTP of 97.11%.

100 Super Icy

This game operates on 100 fixed lines, where wins are calculated from left to right (excluding Scatter payouts). Only the largest win per line is credited, and the Wild symbol substitutes all except Scatter. With a minimum bet of 1.00 PTS and a maximum of 200.00 PTS, players experience an RTP of 97.09%. 

A gamble feature allows players to double their win by predicting the next card’s colour. Additionally, a progressive jackpot grows by adding a portion of each stake until one player wins. UI elements show win amounts, current balance, and bet levels, and a gamble button offers an extra risk/reward decision after a win.

Leprechaun Wish

This slot uses 20 lines with Scatter symbols appearing on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the main game; landing three Scatters triggers 20 free spins. A Coin symbol activates a Flaming Frames feature that, over a 10-spin cycle, transforms designated cells into Wild symbols. 

During the main game, each Coin symbol also increases a progressive multiplier by 1, which applies to the spin win. In free spins, the Coin symbol appears only on reel 5 and fills coin counters sequentially, converting symbols into Wilds when all positions are filled. 

The base game operates with an RTP of 97.20% (bonus game RTP of 96.93%), and there is an option to buy the bonus game at 30× the bet. The game supports a progressive jackpot and displays key UI elements such as win, balance, and bet.

Shaolin Crew

This highly volatile slot employs a MultiWays mechanic across 6 reels, where the total number of paying combinations can reach up to 117,649. The game’s base round includes a Mystery Wild Swap feature that randomly adds 2 to 4 Wilds to the matrix; these Wilds reappear after each cascade and may include multipliers (2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x). 

The bonus round is triggered by landing three or more Scatter symbols, awarding free spins that can be retriggered by additional Scatters. In the bonus game, Wilds expand in columns with multipliers that increase based on the number of Scatters (2× for one column, 4× for two, and 6× for three), with an RTP of 97.27%. 

A bonus buy option is available at 100× the bet, and the win cap for a single game round is set at 5,000× the bet. UI details include displays for win amounts, balance, and bet selection.

Mobile Compatibility and Expansion

All games from Expanse Studios are developed using HTML5, ensuring seamless performance on mobile devices. Testing shows that mobile versions often provide a smoother experience than desktop versions, especially for titles that deviate from the classic slot format. In addition to slots, the studio also offers table games like Blackjack and Titan Roulette, demonstrating its expansion into other areas of casino gaming.
