VALLETA, Malta, Aug. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Expanse Studios is thrilled to unveil its groundbreaking new slot game, ‘Pinata Loca’. Introducing a qualitative shift in slot gaming with the innovative cascading reels mechanism, ‘Pinata Loca’ echoes the vibrant culture and festivities of Mexico in a unique gaming experience.

In ‘Pinata Loca’, winning symbols disappear, paving the way for new ones and creating opportunities for consecutive winning combinations. If a player secures eight or more of the same symbols at once, regardless of their positions on the reels, they earn points. Ten or more matching symbols yield even higher payouts. ‘Pinata Loca’ offers a staggering maximum win potential of 21,100 times the bet size, marking it as a potential favorite among high rollers.

“By introducing ‘Pinata Loca’ to our portfolio, we’re not just releasing another game. We are pushing the boundaries of traditional slot gaming,” said Expanse’s CEO. “It features two of the most popular additional options in modern iGaming – the ‘Booster Bet’ and ‘Bonus Buy’ options – enhancing the gaming experience with layers of strategy and anticipation.”

The game’s variance ranges from medium to high, indicating that it delivers higher than average prizes, albeit less frequently. With a theoretical Return to Player (RTP) of a noteworthy 97.23%, ‘Pinata Loca’ presents impressive winning odds.

The launch of ‘Pinata Loca’ also sees the introduction of Expanse Studios’ new slot control console, a perfect marriage of aesthetics, technology, and practicality designed to optimize gameplay.

Expanse Studios invites all players to step into the groundbreaking world of ‘Pinata Loca’ and immerse themselves in the excitement of Mexican festivities with the thrill of cascading wins.

Expanse Studios Obtains Croatian iGaming Certification

Published

VALLETTA , Malta, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Expanse Studios, the B2B game development division of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has received official certification from Croatia’s Ministry of Finance for its flagship game Super Heli, with additional titles in the company’s 56-game portfolio expected to receive approval in the coming weeks for the EU member state.

The certification marks a strategic entry into a market that generated US$484.70m in 2024, with projected growth at a CAGR of 8.4% during 2024-2030. Super Heli, Expanse’s most popular crash-style game, becomes the first of the studio’s titles approved for the Croatian market, paving the way for broader portfolio distribution.

Tapping Into High-Growth European Market

Croatia represents a compelling opportunity for B2B gaming suppliers, with the Online Casinos segment alone projected at US$218.10m in 2024. According to iGamingToday’s latest market research, Croatia’s gambling market will reach €720.42 million by 2025, making it one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.

Among the key market benefits are:

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)
  • Accelerating digital adoption – Internet penetration jumped from 76% in 2020 to 83% in 2023
  • Over 20.6 million tourist arrivals in 2023 following Schengen Zone entry
  • Over 500,000 Croatians expected to engage in regular online gambling by 2027

Strategic Value for the Company

The certification strengthens Expanse Studios’ European footprint at a critical juncture. With 56 proprietary titles and 500+ B2B partners globally, Expanse is expected to capture a meaningful share in the growing EU market.

“Croatia certification is more than market access—it’s validation of our content quality and compliance capabilities in demanding EU jurisdictions,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios. “With our flagship title Super Heli already approved and more games in the pipeline, we’re very excited for the opportunities this markets brings us.”

Competitive Advantage in Regulated Markets

Croatia’s regulatory framework favors established, compliant B2B providers. Operators must obtain licenses requiring significant capital investment, and only licensed casino games operators who have at least one brick-and-mortar casino can offer online gambling. This creates high barriers to entry and positions certified B2B suppliers like Expanse as essential partners for operators.
