Gameburger Studios

History & Foundation

Gameburger Studios was founded in 2019, entering the iGaming space at a time when the demand for high-volatility, mobile-optimised slots was growing rapidly. From its inception, the studio adopted a strategy of exclusive supply to Microgaming, thereby leveraging the platform’s established operator relationships and regulatory footprint. The decision to focus on non-US markets – particularly Europe, Asia, and Latin America – allowed the studio to sidestep the complexities of the newly regulated US online gambling market. Its early releases, including Break Da Bank Again Respin and 9 Masks of Fire, quickly gained traction, leading to repeat placements in casino lobbies such as those of Bet365, 888casino, and others on the Microgaming network.

Business Model & Platform

Gameburger Studios is a pure-play B2B game developer. It designs, develops, and maintains online slot games exclusively for integration into Microgaming’s aggregation platform, Quickfire. The studio does not operate its own casino or consumer-facing brand; all its revenue comes from licensing fees and revenue-share agreements with operators via Microgaming. The company’s technology stack is built around HTML5, ensuring cross-platform compatibility across desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. Its games are certified by multiple jurisdictions including the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, and others.

Products & Brands

The studio’s game library includes several notable titles, all video slots. 9 Masks of Fire is a high-volatility slot with a fiery, mask-themed aesthetic, featuring a Hold & Spin bonus round with fixed jackpots and is one of the studio’s most successful releases. Break Da Bank Again Respin is a classic “bank-breaking” slot with respin mechanics and multipliers up to 25x, originally a land-based theme re-imagined for online. Tarzan and The Jewels of Opar is an adventure-themed slot based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs character, featuring wilds, scatters, and a progressive jackpot. 9 Pots of Gold (also known as Lucky Ladd Flynn in some markets) is a leprechaun-themed slot with a “pot of gold” bonus game offering fixed jackpots. The studio also produces customised versions of its core mechanics for specific operator partners, although these are not publicly listed.

Market Position & Competitive Edge

Gameburger Studios competes in the crowded mid-tier slot developer segment, alongside studios like Blueprint Gaming, Push Gaming, and Relax Gaming. Its differentiators include a strong brand identity centred on a “burger” theme, high-volatility mathematical models that appeal to advanced players seeking big win potential, an exclusive relationship with Microgaming providing distribution scale without the overhead of managing multiple platform integrations, and a focus on quality over quantity – the studio releases only a handful of games per year, ensuring each title receives thorough marketing support and operator adoption.

Regulatory & Licensing

All Gameburger Studios games are licensed and regulated through Microgaming’s existing agreements. The studio itself does not hold independent licences; instead, its content is certified under Microgaming’s umbrella approvals from the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and other jurisdictions.

Recent Developments & Future Outlook

No recent funding rounds, acquisitions, or major personnel changes have been reported. The studio continues to release new games on the Microgaming platform, with its most recent title (as of early 2025) being Lucky Ladd Flynn and related variants. Given the industry trend toward studio consolidation (e.g., Games Global’s acquisition of several Microgaming studios), Gameburger Studios may be a potential acquisition target, though no public discussions have been disclosed.
