Odd One Out by Expanse Studios – a Remarkable Slot
Maltese game developer Expanse Studios is constantly working to add new exciting games to its already large portfolio. The latest release in the studio’s library is called Odd One Out, and it truly is a special slot game that differs from the rest of the crowd.
Odd One Out is a perfect blend of old-school gameplay with modern features. It’s a slot that will surely catch your attention. The easy learning curve makes it easy for beginners. However, don’t mistake it for being a simple slot. It features 243 ways to win with a few special features that can boost your winnings nicely.
Available for free or real money exclusively at Meridianbet casino, this game may truly be the odd one out in Expanse’s slot rapidly-expanding library. In a positive way, of course – you can see that on the first try.
Odd One Out Slot Gameplay
The Odd One Out slot machine has a 5x reel set with crisp-clear graphics. The symbols are nicely designed and feature old-school faves such as cherries, fruits, and diamonds. This isn’t a classic slot, mind you. It’s a blend between vintage slot machines and modern features that are typical for 2021 slots.
Using the fruits and diamonds, you can win in 243 different ways in the Odd One Out slot. Expanse’s latest release features a minimum bet of 25 credits, with wins formed left to right on adjacent reels. The only exception are scatter wins which pay in any direction. The RTP of the slot is 96% which is typical for most slot machines nowadays.
In terms of symbol payouts, the card royals are low-win symbols. The other ones are high-win symbols with the orange being the highest one – 400 coins for five on a line. Five bananas give you half of that, with the cherries following. The diamonds pay significantly less, but can still produce some great returns.
The slot has a pretty familiar layout and design. All of the important elements are at their spots, with a Spin and Autoplay button easily accessible. You can spin the slot across all devices, including PC, Mac, and Android and iOS devices. No need to download it – the slot is available exclusively on Meridianbet’s instant-play casino platform.
While the base game may be pretty straightforward, the real surprises come in the bonus features.
Special Features and Sky-High Payouts
There are two special features in the Odd One Out slot. The first one is called Magnetic Wild. Whenever a wild lands on the third reel, it can convert to a magnetic wild that turns the full reel wild. Land a winning combination on it and you will get a respin with the matching symbols sticky on the reels.
All non-winning symbols apart from the matching ones will slide out of the reels to vacant positions during the respin, allowing new symbols to take their place. Matching symbols from the left to the right will go a step forward to the magnetic reel and stay frozen on the reels.
The second feature is the free spins round. It is triggered with 3, 4, or 5 scatters, giving you 10, 15, and 25 free spins respectively. This is a one-time feature that can’t be retriggered. The free spins round is pretty straightforward, except this time, it comes with an x2 multiplier. Thanks to the ability to double your wins, the bonus round highlights the slot’s true winning potential.
If you’re looking for a cool slot machine the perfectly mixes the old with the new, Odd One Out is a perfect example. Available exclusively in Meridianbet casino, you can try the slot for free or real money. Meridianbet is the only casino where you can enjoy the full Expanse Studios’ portfolio with other unique titles that provide loads of fun.

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series
Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.
Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.
The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.
The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.
Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.
Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.
“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
