Tom Horn Gaming Unleashes Pantera Rica in a Thrilling Rainforest Adventure
Tom Horn Gaming, an iGaming software supplier, is excited to announce the launch of Pantera Rica, a vibrant video slot that transports players to the colourful world of the tropical rainforest. This visually stunning game, played across a 3×3 grid, is set amidst lush jungle landscapes and stars a majestic black panther as its main character. Joined by a cheerful toucan and other exotic inhabitants of the rainforest, Pantera Rica offers an immersive and engaging gaming experience.
Pantera Rica offers simple yet captivating gameplay with a host of dynamic features. The expanding Wild with respins is activated when a Wild symbol lands on any of the three reels. It expands and triggers a respin, increasing the win lines from 11 to 27 ways, providing players with more opportunities to win.
Additionally, when all three reels are fully stacked with the same symbol, players benefit from a Fully Stacked Reels Multiplier that multiplies the total win by 10x, significantly boosting potential rewards.
For those seeking an extra edge, the Respin Booster feature can be activated to increase the total bet by 1.5x, enhancing the chance of triggering a respin by 300%. This feature remains active until the player chooses to disable it, offering greater control over gameplay.
The game also features a special gamble option, the Star Gamble Ladder, giving players the chance to amplify their winnings with an added touch of thrill. The bonus round is activated automatically after a win. Players can gamble their winnings by guessing the colour of the next star – pink or blue – to potentially double their amount, with up to five attempts. A special Golden Star may randomly appear, instantly doubling the win without requiring a guess. After five levels are completed, the win is auto-collected.
“Our aim with Pantera Rica was to create a game that resonates with players in the Brazilian market and beyond. The game is true to our innovative approach and it seamlessly blends user-friendly mechanics with dynamic features to deliver an unforgettable adventure,” said Katarina Slaninova, Head of Marketing Communications at Tom Horn Gaming. “With its vibrant visuals, engaging gameplay, and the powerful symbolism of the black panther, this game is a testament to our commitment to crafting experiences that excite and captivate.”
Pantera Rica will be available across Tom Horn Gaming’s network of operators from 9 January 2025.

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.
