Studio to shift up a gear with its own development and distribution platform as it sets its sights on new markets and more operator partnerships
Fantasma Games, the studio that produces slots beyond gambling, has rolled out Xpand, a powerful Remote Game Server (RGS) to strengthen its relationship with operators and to drive forward with its ambitious growth plans.
The Fantasma Xpand provides the studio with many benefits, including continued operational excellence and deepening support for its operator partners in scaling their content offerings around the studio’s premium games and products.
It also allows the studio to take its product roadmap and game production to the next level facilitating even more innovation by making it easier to bring new concepts, mechanics and gameplay to the market while speeding up time to market for new and existing partners.
The platform already comes with easy-to-use gamification tools and enables operators to quickly set up and manage player engagement activities such as prize drops, tournaments, missions and more.
Operators can take advantage of a standard API for integration, allowing Fantasma to strike and deploy new partnerships at scale and at speed.
Fantasma’s entire game portfolio is available via Xpand. This includes legacy titles such as Flower Fortune Megaways and its most recent releases like Shadow Summoner Elementals.
The launch of Fantasma Xpand is the next logical step in the studio’s development. It’s already built a reputation for producing thrilling content, often based on compelling narratives and with smart mechanics, to provide a unique player experience.
Armed with its RGS, Fantasma is now eyeing expansion into emerging markets such as Latin America and Africa having firmly established itself in Europe and the US.
Fredrik Johansson, Founder and CEO of Fantasma Games, said: “This is a milestone moment for Fantasma Games, allowing us to form stronger operator partners while also giving us greater control over our development and distribution.
“We have incredibly ambitious growth plans, both in terms of our product roadmap and increasing our roster of operator partners in core markets across the world, and we will only be able to achieve this with our own RGS.
“Ultimately, it will allow us to develop better games and deliver these games to more operators in more markets than ever before via a smooth, seamless, direct integration.”

Gamification
GoldenRace launches V5 mobile solution with unified app and WebGL branding
GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.
According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.
On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.
The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.
GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.

PopOK Gaming did not disclose which regulator or test lab issued the certification, which products are covered, or the date the approval was granted.
Portugal continues to operate a ring-fenced regulated online gambling framework, with market access dependent on product approvals and operator licensing. For suppliers, local certification is typically a prerequisite to distribute content to licensed brands.

API
St8 adds game round replays to its single API platform
Replay tool builds on St8’s graphical game round details and launches first with nine casino game studios.
St8 has launched game round replays, adding visual playback of completed casino game rounds to its existing single API platform. The company said the feature is designed to help operators verify outcomes faster and resolve player queries more efficiently.
The new capability builds on St8’s graphical game round details, which it said is already used by operators. With replays, support and operations teams can access a round’s visual playback to investigate gameplay disputes and respond to players with more transparency.
St8 also positioned the feature as a player engagement tool, with operators able to surface notable moments such as big wins and bonus rounds for promotional use.
Game round replays will initially support titles from AvatarUX, BGaming, Endorphina, Hacksaw, Peter & Sons, Pragmatic Play, Scatter Kings, Shady Lady, and Tequity Originals, with more providers to be added. St8 said the feature is delivered through its existing single API integration and requires no additional development work, and is intended to scale across multiple brands and regulated markets.
David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional customer support while keeping operational costs under control. Our graphical game round details have become a trusted and widely used tool for operators, giving support teams quick access to the information they need to resolve player queries efficiently. Game round replays complement this capability by providing a visual playback of each round, helping teams resolve cases even faster and with complete confidence.
“Beyond operational efficiency, the feature also opens up new opportunities for engagement. Operators can showcase exciting gameplay moments, celebrate big wins and create richer player experiences – all through the same integration. Because game round replays are delivered through our existing single API, partners can access this functionality immediately while continuing to benefit from the simplicity and scalability that sit at the heart of the St8 platform.”
