Leap Gaming — provider review
In Leap Gaming's basketball virtual sport, EuroLeague Legends, players watch real footage of past EuroLeague games instead of 3D animation. Even so, the main focus of the studio, founded in 2014, is realistic 3D graphics, above all in virtual sports.
Leap's portfolio includes more than 50 games: besides virtual sports, there are slots, crash games, an instant lottery and table games. The studio releases all of its content for online, mobile and retail.

Leap Limited is also licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. According to the studio, its games are tested by the Trisigma and Quinel labs and are certified for Malta, the UK, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, Spain, Sweden, Colombia and Latvia.
Technology
According to the studio, it invests heavily in its own 3D infrastructure: development tools, frameworks and a graphics engine. Production uses motion capture, animation and 3D modelling. Before creating a virtual version of a sport or casino game, the team, by its own account, studies how players behave in real betting shops and casino halls.
Operators can take a complete turnkey solution or individual modules. Integration is possible directly or through aggregators via modular APIs, and games can be quickly localised for the required market.

Leap Gaming games
All four of the studio's latest releases share the same medium-high volatility. The two crash games, Orbit Crash and Spin, are essentially twins: they have the same RTP, stakes and max multiplier and differ only in theme.
| Game | Type | RTP | Max win | Stakes | Release date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Football Wild | slot, 5×3, 20 lines | 92.0% | 3,171.2x the stake | €0.20–€60 | 7 May 2026 |
| LottiX | instant lottery | 90% (number bets), 95% (special markets) | €20,000 | €0.10–€500 | 9 July 2026 |
| Orbit Crash | crash | 95% | 500x, up to €50,000 per bet | €0.10–€100 | 12 March 2026 |
| Spin | crash | 95% | 500x, up to €50,000 per bet | €0.10–€100 | 6 November 2025 |
Football Wild is a football slot on a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed lines, set in a packed stadium. It was released on 7 May 2026. According to the studio, the win frequency is high. Stakes range from €0.20 to €60, and the max win is 3,171.2x the stake.
LottiX is a mobile instant lottery: instead of waiting for a draw, the player gets the result right after placing a bet. It was released on 9 July 2026. According to the studio, draws are run by a certified random number generator, and the game meets the standards of the UKGC, Brazil's SPA and Peru's MINCETUR. Stakes range from €0.10 to €500, and the maximum payout is €20,000.
Orbit Crash and Spin work the same way: the player places a bet and has to cash out before the round ends. Both games have Auto Play, Auto Cash Out and Double Bet, stakes from €0.10 to €100, and a multiplier of up to 500x, capped at €50,000 per bet. Orbit Crash (12 March 2026) has a retro pixel-art style: a rocket speeds up until it crashes. Spin (6 November 2025) is themed around street basketball: a ball spins on a fingertip and gains speed until it drops.
Other slots from the studio include C-Punk 5K, Secrets of the Nile 2, Hercules Do or Die, Vampire Kiss and Sweet Vegas. Table games include 300 Carat Blackjack and 300 Carat Roulette.
