Octavian Gaming
Octavian Gaming — provider review
Octavian Gaming is a developer of gaming systems and software solutions, founded in 2013 in Bussolengo, in the province of Verona. This relatively young software brand draws on a far more mature industrial foundation: the company is part of Octavian Group, which has brought together gaming industry businesses since 1970 — spanning hardware and software development to restaurant, bar, slot hall, and online gaming portal chains.
That combination — a young development team backed by more than 50 years of group heritage — explains how a relatively new brand ended up with such mature production and technical infrastructure. Beyond its headquarters in Bussolengo, Octavian Gaming has offices in England and Taiwan, and the company holds a leading position in Italy's land-based gaming market.
💡 Octavian Group by the numbers
12 companies, presence in 10 markets, 400+ group employees, more than 50 years of industry experience, and a portfolio of 300+ games.
Technology: a full in-house development cycle
💡 Technical infrastructure
International development teams with more than a decade of Linux programming experience work with ARM RISC and Intel x86 architectures, built to high security standards. Statistical math models, protocols, and the operating system are also developed in-house, with product quality continuously monitored by a dedicated QA team.
The creative side of the product is fully in-house too: a dedicated team of artists, designers, and musicians handles graphics, animation, and sound. To distribute its products in the global online market, the company partners with the specialised WorldMatch and Octavian Lab teams, who manage game servers and online accounting platforms — meaning creative and technical development stay inside Octavian, while distribution runs through a partner network.
Certification
The reliability of Octavian Gaming's products is confirmed by independent software testing labs — Quinel and GLI. Their certificates are required to obtain approval from ADM, Italy's gambling regulator. The company's business processes are also certified to ISO 9001:2015 and UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 27001:2024 standards, subject to periodic renewal.
Octavian Gaming slots
All three flagship slots are built on the studio's recognisable signature — cumulative multipliers that double step by step (x2 → x4 → x8 and onward up to x64):
| Slot | RTP | Volatility | Paylines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucky Archer | 94.00% | Medium / High | 25 |
| Purrfect Riches | 93.00% | Medium / High | 25 |
| Geisha Charms | 94.22% | Medium | 20 |
Lucky Archer — a slot on a 5-reel grid with 25 paylines. The Hit the Chests feature lets arrows randomly break one of two chests beside the logo, rewarding extra Wild symbols. During Free Spins, golden arrows strike one of three targets, awarding vertical Wilds, multipliers from x2 to x7, or extra free spins, while a Buy Free Spins feature grants instant access to the bonus for 70x the current bet.
Purrfect Riches — a slot on a 5-reel grid with 25 paylines, centred on a black cat that randomly turns symbols into Wilds and upgrades x2 multipliers to x4. During Free Spins, the cat collects hearts or removes them via a slipper symbol, and if at least one heart remains by the end of the round, Super Free Spins triggers with a multiplier equal to the number of hearts collected. Max multiplier is x64.
Geisha Charms — a slot on a 5-reel grid with 20 paylines. A Red Geisha landing on reel 3 turns into a vertical Wild and triggers a series of respins with growing x2 and x4 multipliers, while a Blue Geisha randomly turns reel symbols into single Wilds. Both features can trigger randomly during Free Spins, with a max multiplier of x64.
