Expanse Studios Launches Super Heli Premium Across Core Markets
Expanse Studios, a subsidiary of Golden Matrix Group Inc., has launched Super Heli Premium, an expanded version of its flagship crash game now live across core markets.
Super Heli Premium introduces four new gameplay mechanics designed to broaden player appeal and increase session engagement. The additions address operator demand for content that retains players without requiring promotional spend.
New Game Modes
Over/Under allows players to predict whether the crash multiplier will land above or below a set threshold, with maximum bet multipliers up to 24x. The mode rewards pattern recognition and adds a prediction layer to the base crash mechanic.
Range betting requires players to predict the multiplier range where the helicopter’s flight will end. Wider ranges offer lower payouts with reduced risk. Narrower ranges increase volatility and potential returns. The mechanic gives conservative and aggressive players different optimal strategies within the same game.
50% Cash-Out enables partial exits during active rounds. Players can secure half their stake at any multiplier while keeping the remaining half in play. The feature reduces all-or-nothing pressure and extends average session length.
Auto Play and Auto Cash-Out provide preset betting parameters for players who prefer hands-off gameplay across multiple rounds.
Regional Customisation
Operators can deploy market-specific visual themes (US, Greece, Egypt, Brazil, Japan) without changing core mechanics or RTP. The customisation supports localised marketing campaigns and cultural preferences across different jurisdictions.
The game maintains a 97% RTP across all modes and themes, matching the original Super Heli’s player return rate while adding strategic depth through the new mechanics.
Market Context
The original Super Heli became one of the most requested titles in European iGaming within months of launch, with operators reporting session lengths above industry averages and retention metrics “materially better than category norms”.
Super Heli Premium positions the title as a platform rather than a single game variant. Operators can configure volatility, bet limits and visual themes to match specific player demographics without requiring separate game integrations.
Expanse Studios currently operates across 1300+ B2B partnerships globally, with over 300 new operators added in Q3 2025 alone. Super Heli Premium expands the studio’s portfolio to 66 proprietary titles, all 100% owned IP with no licensing dependencies.
The game is now live across Expanse’s operator network in core markets globally.

Compliance Updates
Expanse Studios Secures Colombia Market Certification
Expanse Studios, a subsidiary of Meridian Holdings Inc., announced regulatory certification enabling commercial deployment across Colombia’s online gambling market.
Gaming Associates, a UKAS-accredited testing laboratory (accreditation number 9263), certified Gates of Olympia, Candy’s Bonanza, and Leprechaun’s Wish as compliant with technical standards established by Colombian regulatory authorities. This certification authorizes deployment on licensed gaming platforms operating under Coljuegos oversight.
Colombia represents Latin America’s first comprehensively regulated online gambling market, operating under framework legislation established in 2016. According to reports, Colombia’s online gambling market generated $1.29 billion in revenue during 2024, growing at 9.53% CAGR with projections reaching $2.03 billion by 2029. Online casino games and sports betting account for the majority of market activity, with 82% of Colombians participating in games of chance according to industry research.
The market operates under strict regulatory oversight by Coljuegos, Colombia’s gaming authority, requiring comprehensive licensing and technical certification for content providers seeking market access. Colombia’s structured regulatory framework and established licensing infrastructure position the market as strategically valuable for B2B content providers targeting Latin American expansion.
“Colombia is one of the most mature regulated markets in Latin America. Certification here establishes the regulatory foundation we need to scale across the region. The market’s proven that regulated frameworks can work in LatAm—very high player participation shows demand exists when operators can operate legally. That’s the model we’re building toward in other territories,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios.
The Colombia certification follows Expanse Studios’ recent regulatory approvals in Estonia, Latvia, and Portugal, continuing the studio’s expansion across regulated markets in Europe and Latin America. With over 1300 B2B operator partnerships globally and a portfolio of 70+ proprietary titles, Expanse continues building distribution infrastructure in jurisdictions where regulatory compliance creates competitive differentiation.
