Spinmatic

Spinmatic appeared in 2017, when Malta became the studio's headquarters — the first contract was already signed that September, and by November the company had secured gaming certificates for the UK, Italy, and Malta, along with RNG certification. That rapid start set the pace for years to come: in May 2018, the studio entered the Asian market, in June 2019 the Italian market, and in November 2019 its games received MGA approval.

The studio's managing director is Norbert Mathies. The company describes its portfolio as a catalogue of more than 104 games — video slots with support for a wide range of currencies and languages.

Who licenses Spinmatic?

The studio's operations run under a licence held by Virtual Gaming Technologies Limited, registered in Malta (company number C 68814). The company is authorised by the Malta Gaming Authority under a corporate B2B licence — MGA/CRP/320/2016, issued 17 October 2019. No other licence is named on the studio's site — the Maltese one remains the only one Spinmatic states publicly.

While the developer itself doesn't interact directly with players, the studio places strong emphasis on responsible gaming, providing operators with all the necessary tools for self-exclusion and setting limits.

From SpinEngine 2.0 to 3.0: how the tech foundation evolved

All games run on HTML5 and the studio's own framework, which has evolved over time from SpinEngine 2.0 to the current SpinEngine 3.0 — a transition that allowed the studio to add support for crypto RNG games, seen by many in the industry as the future of online gambling. Product management for operators runs through the signature SpinHub panel, giving access to all accounts, logs, reports, and settings, while integrating new games into an operator's platform takes just 24 hours thanks to powerful APIs.

The studio follows a mobile-first approach — the entire portfolio is available on smartphones and tablets in both portrait and landscape orientation, regardless of OS. Security is handled through Cisco firewalls, servers spread across multiple locations, and N+1 data redundancy.

From constant nominations to a first win over five years

Spinmatic regularly made shortlists at major awards before finally landing its first win: a finalist spot for "Rising Star in Gambling" at SBC Awards 2018, "Gaming Developer of the Year" at SBC Awards 2019, "Innovation in Slot Development" at EGR B2B Awards 2020, two shortlists at SBC Awards 2021, and two more at the SBC Latinoamérica Awards that same year. In 2022, the studio finally took home its first award — winning "Noteworthy" at the SlotsWise Awards. That same year, Spinmatic began working with Belgian operator Circus.be, expanding its presence in the Belgian market, and a year earlier had released its first crash game, Bank Run.

Spinmatic's top games: a slot, Plinko, and space

Lama Glama V2 brings an Ancient Peru theme with a mischievous llama named Chummo trying to ruin the tribe's biggest festival by stealing the golden statue of Tumi. Wild symbols with a multiplier and free spins round out the classic 5×3 structure with 15 fixed paylines.

Plinky Plinko runs an Asian theme in the Plinko genre, where players choose their own risk level and line count for each dropped ball, affecting the final multiplier size. A Hold & Drop feature, three risk levels, and autoplay make this the most flexible risk setup among the three titles covered — no surprise the volatility is listed as a full range from low to high.

Space Oddity brings a space theme about traversing the galaxy and discovering new life forms to a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines. The highest RTP of the three games here is paired with a Meteor Win feature, scatter free spins, and several types of wild symbols.
