Expanse Studios Introduces Shaolin Crew: A New Megaways Slot Experience
VALLETTA, Malta, Nov. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Expanse Studios, a developer in the online slot gaming sector, has announced the release of “Shaolin Crew,” marking the company’s first venture into the Megaways slot genre. Set against an Ancient Chinese backdrop, this game combines a traditional theme with modern slot mechanics.
Innovative Game Design with Dynamic Reel Structure
Shaolin Crew features a 6-reel design that varies the number of symbols per reel with each spin, ranging from 2 to 7 symbols. This dynamic approach aims to create a varied and engaging player experience. The game employs a “cascading wins” feature, where winning symbols are replaced with new ones, potentially leading to consecutive wins.
Gameplay and Features
The game presents a variety of symbols, including scatter and wild symbols, within a 7×6 grid layout. Triggering three scatter symbols initiates a free spins bonus round. Additionally, “Shaolin Crew” includes a Mystery Wild Swap feature, which randomly adds wild symbols to the reels.
Statistical Aspects of the Game
“Shaolin Crew” offers a Return to Player (RTP) rate of 97.14%. The game’s design is high in volatility, providing a gaming experience with potentially significant payouts. The maximum win potential is stated as 5000 times the player’s bet. The game does not include a gamble feature, focusing instead on the core gameplay mechanics.
What to Expect?
“Shaolin Crew” aims to offer an immersive experience into the world of Ancient China through its theme and gameplay features. Expanse Studios’ foray into the Megaways slot category with this game reflects its ongoing efforts to innovate in the online slot gaming industry.

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:
- 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.
