Octoplay
Octoplay is a Malta-based slot studio founded in October 2022, licensed by the MGA and UK Gambling Commission, ISO 27001 certified, running video slots and Smash Games casual titles on its own RGS platform.

Octoplay Casinos — Games, Fairness and Where to Play
Octoplay is a slot studio headquartered in St Julian's, Malta, operating under Gameshop Limited. The studio builds video slots, casual games under its Smash Games brand, and instant-win titles, distributed through its own Remote Gaming Server platform rather than third-party aggregation. Its games appear across a mix of casinos with different licences, from Curaçao-regulated brands to MGA-licensed operators, which matters more for the fairness and payout question than the games themselves.
Who Is Octoplay
Octoplay was founded in October 2022, according to the company's own site, and is headquartered in St Julian's, Malta. The studio operates under Gameshop Limited, with Karl Eilertsson as CEO and Gavin Hamilton as chairman. Gameshop Limited holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence (MGA/CRP/981/2022, issued 28 July 2023, per mga.org.mt) and a UK Gambling Commission licence (000-061756-R-336614-001, issued 22 March 2023, per gamblingcommission.gov.uk). The Swedish arm, Gameshop Malta Limited, is licensed by Spelinspektionen under two registrations (23Si628 and 23Si626, issued 1 July 2023, per spelinspektionen.se). The studio also holds a Romanian National Gambling Office licence (1138/30.07.2024, issued 1 August 2024), an Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario licence (GRSM1311915), and a Hellenic Gaming Commission licence (HGC-000139-MN...), alongside an Internet Gaming Supplier License from the Michigan Gaming Control Board for its Gameshop Americas entity (since 4 February 2025, per michigan.gov). Its key partners include major operators such as Sky Vegas, Betsson, Casumo, Bwin, LeoVegas, PokerStars, and bet365, and it was named the №1 new provider in the Eilers & Krejcik Gaming US index.
Within our catalogue of 510 tracked slot studios, Octoplay ranks 131st by the number of casinos carrying its games, per our records. That puts it well behind reach leaders such as Hacksaw, which appears in 119 casinos in the same catalogue, and roughly level with mid-sized studios like F*Bastards and EGT Digital, each present in 30 casinos, while niche providers such as Paradise Gaming (5 casinos) and Jili (1 casino) sit near the bottom of that scale. The gap between the top and bottom of this comparison group is wide, which is typical for a studio still in its first few years — Octoplay launched in 2022 — rather than one with a decade-plus footprint.
Octoplay Games and Signature Mechanics
Octoplay's portfolio splits into video slots, casual games released under the Smash Games label, and instant-win titles, all running on the studio's proprietary RGS platform. The studio operates several in-house game brands rather than a single flagship line: Penguin King, Super Hippo, Smash Games, Combat Royale and Twice as Nice each carry a distinct style within the wider catalogue.
Mechanically, Octoplay is known for features named JackpotHunt, the Smash feature, Double Chance and Chaos Reels — bonus mechanics built to sit on top of standard reel and payline structures rather than replace them. Per our records, the catalogue runs to more than 80 titles; European Gaming reported in July 2026 that the portfolio had grown past 150 slots on the studio's own RGS platform, which points to a studio still expanding its release pace rather than one with a fixed, static library.
RTP, Volatility and Fairness of Octoplay Slots
Octoplay does not publish a single RTP figure that applies across its catalogue — RTP is set per game and per operator configuration, and the accurate figure for any title sits in that game's own information panel, not in a blanket studio average. What can be checked independently is the licensing layer: games distributed under the MGA, UK Gambling Commission and Spelinspektionen licences are subject to each regulator's technical standards for random number generation as a condition of holding that licence.
Octoplay holds ISO 27001 certification, confirmed by casinos.com reporting in July 2023 — this covers information-security management, not RTP fairness on its own, but it sits alongside the studio's regulatory licences as a separate trust signal.
RTP is a theoretical figure calculated over a large number of rounds; it says nothing about the outcome of any single session, and volatility describes how wins are distributed over time rather than how often a game pays. Neither figure is a promise of a return on any given visit.
Where to Play Octoplay Games
The casino list above this article gathers operators from our catalogue where Octoplay titles are available, spanning Mason Slots, Avalon78 and CookieCasino under MGA licensing, alongside Curaçao-licensed brands such as Martin Casino and Beef Casino. Of the 30 casinos carrying Octoplay games in this selection, 22 accept crypto payments — 73%, against 87% across our full catalogue of 128 casinos, per our records — so crypto support is somewhat less common here than average for the wider catalogue. Ten of the 29 brands in this selection run under the RoyalPartners affiliate program, per our records, which means those ten otherwise differently branded casinos share a single owner, common terms and the same dispute-handling policy behind the scenes.
- Provider availability — confirm Octoplay titles load in the casino's actual lobby, not just its licensing catalogue
- Casino licence — Curaçao, MGA, Anjouan, Estonian and iGaming Ontario licences each carry different dispute-resolution routes
- Region restrictions — Octoplay's area coverage includes the United Kingdom, Malta, Sweden, Romania, Canada, the United States, and several other regulated markets, so a title live in one country may be geo-blocked in another
- Demo mode — where offered, it lets you review a game's volatility and bonus mechanics before wagering real funds
Common Misconceptions About Octoplay Slots
- "A slot is due for a win after a losing streak" — each spin on a licensed RNG game is independent of the last; past outcomes do not change the odds of the next round.
- "RTP guarantees a return on this session" — RTP is a theoretical figure calculated over a very large number of rounds, not a promise for any single visit.
- "Signature features like JackpotHunt or Chaos Reels increase the base RTP" — bonus mechanics change how a game pays out, not whether it is fair; the certified RTP figure already accounts for them.
- "All Octoplay casinos run the same terms" — bonus wagering, payout limits and support policy are set by each casino's operator, not by the game studio.
How Octoplay Casinos Differ
Casinos carrying Octoplay games in this selection differ sharply in how long they have been operating, which is a more useful filter than the game library itself since the provider's titles are shared across all of them.
| Casino | Years in Operation |
|---|---|
| BetChan | 9 |
| Bob Casino | 9 |
| Vavada Casino | 9 |
| Spinia | 8 |
| Monro Casino | 3 |
| Slotrave | 0 |
This spread runs from casinos with close to a decade of track record down to a brand launched within the past year, so an operator's history is worth weighing separately from whether it carries Octoplay games at all — a long-running licence tells you more about how disputes and payouts have actually played out than the game catalogue does.
Verdict on Octoplay as a Game Studio
"Octoplay is a young, actively licensed studio building a wide RGS catalogue rather than resting on one flagship title — worth checking on its own terms at each casino, not assumed from the studio name alone."
Octoplay suits players who want variety across several in-house game brands and are comfortable checking each title's own RTP and volatility rather than relying on a single studio-wide figure. It is a less obvious fit for players who prioritise one long-established flagship slot series, since the studio's approach spreads mechanics like JackpotHunt and Chaos Reels across several distinct brands instead of concentrating them in one title.
Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money or fix finances. Set deposit and time limits, take regular breaks, and use self-exclusion tools if play stops feeling like fun. Licensed operators provide these tools — using them is a sign of control, not weakness. Learn more on Responsible Gambling →
