Here is our exclusive interview with the Gamzix team.

In the competitive world of online slots, few studios have carved out a distinct identity as quickly as Gamzix. Since its establishment in 2020, this Malta-based developer has quickly evolved from a newcomer into a serious contender, known for high-energy game mechanics and a mobile-first philosophy.

While players might recognize them for their popular “Hold the Spin” series or their recent “Rich Granny” titles, industry insiders have been watching Gamzix for different reasons: their aggressive optimization of game assets for faster loading, their unique promotional tools like Spin-o-Mania, and their expansion into social gaming markets.

We sat down with the Gamzix team to discuss what makes their games tick, their approach to the finer points like sound design, and what players can expect from their 2026 roadmap.

What Sets Gamzix Apart?

SlotsFan: For someone who hasn’t played Gamzix games, what makes them special and why should they look for them the next time they’re playing online slots?

Gamzix: For over five years we’ve been creating vibrant, high-quality slots that bring energy and excitement to every spin. Each title combines eye-catching visuals, immersive sound design, and flawless mechanics to deliver a consistently engaging player experience. 

A standout feature across the portfolio is the signature Hold the Spin mechanic, which has become a player favorite thanks to its ability to sustain tension and excitement round after round. Gamzix games are built for smooth performance, fair play, and seamless compatibility across all devices, making them easy to enjoy anytime, anywhere. 

With a growing global footprint and a strong focus on innovation, our goal is to continue to deliver moments of pure gaming joy that players quickly recognize and return to.

SF: What makes Gamzix special as a company in the game provider space?

Gamzix: We’re proud to be a Maltese, MGA-licensed game provider with over five years of iGaming expertise, combining creative excellence with strong technical foundations. 

We deliver high-performing games and scalable solutions built on seamless integrations, market-ready adaptability, and polished mechanics. Our portfolio is designed to drive measurable results. From engaging gameplay and optimized engines to promotional tools tailored for different GEOs and platforms. 

Transparency, speed, and precision sit at the core of every partnership, allowing us to support long-term growth rather than short-term launches. We strive to be known for taking a personalized approach and providing a full suite of marketing, promotional, and technical support tools.

We make growth effortless for our partners. Casinos simply opt in. The signature Hold the Spin mechanic further reinforces Gamzix’s position as a strategic and reliable partner in the iGaming industry.

Influencers, Community and Game Music

SF: We’ve seen Gamzix games popping up on popular slot streamers’ channels, including the innovative LiveSpins integrated platform. We also followed the Gamzix Streamers Race 2025, which was really entertaining. What is Gamzix’s approach to working with streamers, and where do you see this part of the industry going in the future?

Gamzix: We approach streamer collaborations with a focus on authentic visibility and high-quality gameplay experiences. The priority is ensuring that games perform smoothly in live environments and offer features that are enjoyable to showcase, whether through bonus mechanics, pacing, or audiovisual impact. 

As the industry evolves, streamer-led content has become an important way for players to discover new games and understand their mechanics in real time. 

This format encourages transparency and interaction, and we see it continuing to play a complementary role alongside more traditional marketing channels, particularly as live and community-driven content remains popular with players.

SF: Gamzix won two awards for sound design and recently launched Soundverse, so fans can listen to the game music separately from the games. What’s your approach to sound design, and why do you take it so seriously as a part of the game development process?

Gamzix: We treat sound design as a core pillar of game identity, not an afterthought. Music and sound effects are developed alongside visuals and gameplay to ensure everything feels emotionally connected. 

The launch of Soundverse reflects how important audio is to the brand. The music really  is strong enough to stand on its own. Winning awards in this category validates the belief that great sound design amplifies immersion, memorability, and player connection.

Special Gamzix Tournaments and Promotions

SF: The year-long tournament Spinomania featured a €1 million prize pool. Can you update us on how it went and if we can expect a sequel, or anything similar coming up?

Gamzix: Spin-o-Mania proved that a year-long network tournament can work as a stable retention format, not just a short-term promotion. Its weekend-based stages, automated payouts, and live leaderboard created a predictable rhythm for players and delivered consistent participation for operators, while remaining easy to run through a one-click opt-in flow. 

Building on those results, we’ve now launched Spin Express, a refined annual network tournament designed to be smoother, faster, and more rewarding over time. 

The new format introduces shorter stages, more winning positions, a curated lineup of top-performing games, and an operator-friendly tournament tool with a real-time leaderboard. Spin Express reflects Gamzix’s long-term approach to engagement. We’re focusing on repeat play, portfolio discovery, and operational simplicity.

February Stages for Spin Express

SF: Are there any new games that just dropped we should check out, or upcoming releases for us to keep an eye out for?

Gamzix: One of the latest releases, 9 Thunderbolts, is already showing strong traction and quickly becoming a fan favourite thanks to its energetic gameplay and bold presentation.

Alongside that, Joker Catcher and Only Diamonds are two recent titles worth checking out, each offering distinct mechanics and a polished, modern feel that reflects Gamzix’s creative direction. 

With a steady release cadence, Gamzix continues to expand its portfolio with games that balance fresh ideas and proven mechanics, giving both players and operators plenty to look forward to.
