Spadegaming is a studio founded in 2007, operating out of the Philippines and Malta, with a catalogue of roughly 190 titles and a distribution footprint built around Asian-facing casino platforms. It moved to HTML5 in 2013 – early, by the standards of the time – and much of its catalogue has been designed for a vertical phone screen ever since.

Game Style

The catalogue mixes classic and modern slot formats, dressed almost entirely in Oriental mythology, fortune symbolism and animal imagery. Alongside the slots sits a range of arcade formats – including fish-shooting games – that European suppliers essentially do not make, and which are a large part of why operators serving Asian players carry this studio.

Presentation is bright and busy rather than restrained, and the games are built to be read at a glance in portrait orientation.

Signature Mechanics

  • Maxways – the studio’s dynamic grid engine, in which the number of active ways expands during play, reaching as high as 200,704 combinations.
  • Cascading reels – winning symbols clear and new ones drop, chaining wins inside a single paid spin.
  • Golden Frame to Wild – framed symbols convert to wilds under set conditions.
  • Customisable wilds – titles where the player selects which symbol the wild behaves as.
  • Fish shooting – an arcade format, not a slot: you spend ammunition at a chosen stake and are paid for what you hit. Fishing God, in the selection below, is one of these – its numbers should not be read as slot numbers.

Licensing and Fair Play

Spadegaming holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence alongside Gaming Curaçao certification. The Malta licence is the meaningful one – it requires per-title testing and puts the studio in a stricter regulatory bracket than most suppliers with Asian-market origins.

On returns the studio takes the better position: it does not offer casinos adjustable RTP ranges. Averages sit above the 95–96% industry standard and a number of titles exceed 97%. Note the distinction that matters here – the spread you see across our sample, from 95.00% to 97.15%, is variation between different games, not different builds of the same game. Pick the title carefully and the figure will hold wherever you play it.

Games Worth Knowing

Beyond the five titles below, Fa Cai Shen is the studio’s most widely distributed slot and the clearest expression of its fortune-god house style. Zeus and 5 God Beast show the Maxways engine at its most aggressive, and Lucky Koi and Wong Choy are long-running staples in the markets where Spadegaming is strongest. The arcade and fish-shooting range is worth exploring separately, because almost no European supplier offers anything comparable.

Mobile Play and Demos

Spadegaming adopted HTML5 in 2013 and builds for portrait-mode play, so the games load directly in a browser and are laid out for one-handed use. Free demo versions are available across the catalogue – worth using on the arcade titles in particular, since they behave nothing like slots and take a round or two to understand.

What the Numbers Say

RTP across our five titles runs from 95.00% to 97.15%, a wide spread. Fiery Sevens at 97.04% and Mayan Gems at 97.15% are among the highest returns on this site; Golden Chicken at 95.00% is at the other end. Volatility is medium to high, and releases date from 2019 to 2020.

Worth exploring for the arcade formats, which almost no European supplier offers. Check the return per title – but unlike most studios here, once you have checked it, it stays.

Common Questions

What is Spadegaming known for?

A slot catalogue with particularly strong distribution across Asian-facing casino markets, built around Oriental mythology themes, plus a range of arcade and fish-shooting formats that European suppliers do not produce.

Is Spadegaming a licensed provider?

Yes. It holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence alongside Gaming Curaçao certification. The Malta licence requires each title to be tested individually.

Does Spadegaming use adjustable RTP?

No. The studio does not offer casinos a menu of return configurations. The variation you see across its catalogue is between different games, not between different builds of the same game – so once you have checked a title’s figure, it holds wherever you play it.

What is Maxways?

Spadegaming’s dynamic grid engine. The number of active ways to win expands during play rather than staying fixed, reaching as high as 200,704 combinations on some titles. It is the studio’s answer to Megaways and similar variable-ways systems.

Is Fishing God a slot?

No. It is a fish-shooting arcade game: you spend ammunition at a chosen stake and are paid according to what you hit. Returns depend partly on accuracy, so its numbers cannot be compared directly with the slots in the same selection.

Why is Golden Chicken’s RTP so much lower than the others?

Because it is a different game, not a different configuration. Spadegaming sets returns per title, and Golden Chicken sits at 95.00% while Mayan Gems reaches 97.15%. Compare titles before choosing rather than assuming a house standard.
