Expanse Studios has strategically positioned itself for significant growth in the European iGaming market through a new partnership with Slotino, a prominent Bulgarian online casino operator. The integration, facilitated by Dench eGaming Solutions, represents a critical expansion of Expanse's international market reach and demonstrates the company's commitment to diversifying its gaming content distribution.
The Bulgarian iGaming market presents a compelling opportunity for expansion, with industry projections indicating the sector could reach USD 680 million by 2025. This growth is driven by a progressive regulatory environment and increasing online player engagement, making Bulgaria an attractive jurisdiction for gaming companies seeking new market opportunities.
By partnering with Slotino, Expanse Studios gains access to a well-established platform with strong player engagement. The company will introduce its portfolio of 55+ premium slot, crash, and table games to the Bulgarian market, leveraging Dench eGaming Solutions' advanced gaming platform to optimize content distribution and operational efficiency.
The strategic partnership aligns with Expanse Studios' broader international expansion strategy, which includes recent efforts such as filing for a Romanian Class 2 B2B iGaming license. These initiatives complement the company's existing success in the U.S. sweepstakes and social casino industry, where its games are currently available in over 40 states.
Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios, emphasized the significance of the Slotino partnership, highlighting Bulgaria's immense market potential and the company's dedication to delivering high-quality gaming experiences. By reducing reliance on third-party suppliers and utilizing Dench's platform, Expanse can potentially achieve higher profit margins and greater scalability across multiple regulated markets.
The integration represents more than a simple market entry; it signals Expanse Studios' sophisticated approach to international expansion. By carefully selecting strategic partners and leveraging technologically advanced platforms, the company is positioning itself as a flexible and innovative content provider in the competitive global iGaming landscape.
