Yggdrasil and Reflex Gaming fire up the engine in search of wins in Time Machine
Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has partnered with Reflex Gaming to travel back in time to Victorian England in its latest sci-fi slot sensation, Time Machine.
The 5×3, 243 payline hit is designed to emulate a marvellous steampunk-inspired time machine with metal-ringed symbols appearing across the game’s reels. During base gameplay, the Pay Rise mechanic is active, awarding players a free respin following any win, increasing the reel height by one for every successful respin.
If the game reels extend seven symbols high, the free spins feature is triggered. At the start of this, bonus players are given seven spins during which all 16,807 paylines are active. Players can win more spins if a 1+ symbol lands on either the first or fifth reel.
Time Machine is Reflex Gaming’s newest launch through the YG Masters program, powered by GATI, with Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “We urge players to travel in time back to the Victorian age in our engaging new hit, Time Machine.
“With increasing reels and paylines, every spin can lead to huge wins, with respins driving engagement to new heights. Our YG Masters program continues to facilitate incredible games, and this is another we’re very proud of.”
Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “Time Machine is an immersive new hit that combines anticipation and big win potential. It’s the first game where we have deployed the Pay-Rise mechanic. As a player, that means going from having 243 ways to win to having up to 16,807 ways to win. This is a very lucrative mechanic that offers players a thrilling experience.
“With steampunk and industrial influences, coupled with its futuristic soundtrack, we wanted to create a moody environment. It will appeal to sci-fi fans and players who enjoy higher volatility.”

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.
