Gaming Corps Announces the Launch of Expanding Joker
Gaming Corps rolls back the years with the release of the classic slot-themed Expanding Joker slot game.
Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game studio based in Sweden, is excited to announce the release of its latest online slot title, Expanding Joker.
Expanding Joker combines the charm of old-school gaming aesthetics with the thrills of modern gameplay, presenting players with the chance to land big wins and trigger exciting bonus features.
The slot utilises a 5×3 game grid, with 243 ways to win on every spin. Players will want to keep their eyes peeled for the Scatter symbol. Landing three of these will trigger the Free Spins bonus round.
At the start of the Free Spins bonus, players will choose from 3 different options, each ranging in volatility, from low to high. There is also a 4th Mystery option, which will mix and match the combinations that can be obtained in the other options.
The star of the show is the Expanding Joker. Whenever the Joker symbol lands on any of the middle three reels, it will expand to fill its respective reel, significantly increasing the game’s winning potential.
Talking of winning potential, players can land wins of up to 2,000x their stake. Multiple RTP variants are available. Gaming Corps has rated the game as medium on the volatility scale. For players looking to get straight into the bonus action, a Bonus Buy option is available for 50x the player’s stake.
Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, said: “Fans of classic online slot action are going to love our latest release. With Expanding Joker, we’ve infused a classic slot theme with thrilling bonus features to create a unique and captivating gaming experience.
Our classic slots have always been extremely popular with players, and we can’t wait to see how they respond to the latest addition to our ever-expanding and diverse portfolio.”

Expanse Studios (GMGI) Obtains Croatian iGaming Certification

Expanse Studios, the B2B game development division of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has received official certification from Croatia’s Ministry of Finance for its flagship game Super Heli, with additional titles in the company’s 56-game portfolio expected to receive approval in the coming weeks for the EU member state.
The certification marks a strategic entry into a market that generated US$484.70m in 2024, with projected growth at a CAGR of 8.4% during 2024-2030. Super Heli, Expanse’s most popular crash-style game, becomes the first of the studio’s titles approved for the Croatian market, paving the way for broader portfolio distribution.
Tapping Into High-Growth European Market
Croatia represents a compelling opportunity for B2B gaming suppliers, with the Online Casinos segment alone projected at US$218.10m in 2024. According to iGamingToday’s latest market research, Croatia’s gambling market will reach €720.42 million by 2025, making it one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.
Among the key market benefits are:
- Accelerating digital adoption – Internet penetration jumped from 76% in 2020 to 83% in 2023
- Over 20.6 million tourist arrivals in 2023 following Schengen Zone entry
- Over 500,000 Croatians expected to engage in regular online gambling by 2027
Strategic Value for the Company
The certification strengthens Expanse Studios’ European footprint at a critical juncture. With 56 proprietary titles and 500+ B2B partners globally, Expanse is expected to capture a meaningful share in the growing EU market.
“Croatia certification is more than market access—it’s validation of our content quality and compliance capabilities in demanding EU jurisdictions,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios. “With our flagship title Super Heli already approved and more games in the pipeline, we’re very excited for the opportunities this markets brings us”
Competitive Advantage in Regulated Markets
Croatia’s regulatory framework favors established, compliant B2B providers. Operators must obtain licenses requiring significant capital investment, and only licensed casino games operators who have at least one brick-and-mortar casino can offer online gambling. This creates high barriers to entry and positions certified B2B suppliers like Expanse as essential partners for operators.
