Octavian.SPb

Background and Structure

Octavian.SPb is not a standalone company but the Saint Petersburg, Russia location of Octavian Game Art Ltd., which itself is part of the broader Octavian group. The group originated in Italy in 1970 as a land-based gaming supplier and transitioned to a software house in 2006 in Bussolengo, Verona. Today the group operates through multiple entities: Octavian Gaming (Verona, Italy), Octavian Lab (Rome, Italy), and Octavian Game Art Ltd. (Saint Petersburg, Russia). The Russian entity has been active since at least the mid-2010s, focusing on 2D/3D graphics, animation, and front-end engineering for both land-based and online slot games.

Technology and Products

The Octavian group’s technology stack is built on a proprietary game engine that powers titles such as Fortune Hunter, Bloody Vampire, and Skyward Princess. The group offers a complete B2B iGaming ecosystem: the Octavian Lab PAM (Player Account Management) platform, developed in-house since 2006; a game aggregation hub with over 80 third-party providers; and a land-based SDK (MAX-2 hardware) for the Italian AWP market, where the group holds a leadership position. Octavian Digital provides an overview of B2B online verticals.

Market Position and Expansion

Octavian has recently focused on international expansion. In 2025 the B2B Casino platform received certification from Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA), allowing entry into the regulated Brazilian market. The group also went live in Mexico with partner Novibet in early 2026, and has distribution agreements in Ecuador and Argentina. A notable 2025–2026 initiative is co-developing games with Vivid Gaming, resulting in titles like Penguin Frenzy and Burglar Trio for the Italian market. Octavian’s solutions are certified in multiple regulated markets including Italy, Spain, Portugal, and now Brazil.

Corporate Structure and Headcount

The group’s corporate structure is multi-entity, with Octavian Global Technologies Inc. listed as a public company on LinkedIn with 51–200 employees. Octavian.SPb/Octavian Game Art Ltd. does not publish separate headcount figures, but based on typical game art team sizes, the studio likely employs 20–50 people. The official website for the Russian entity is octaviangameart.ru, though it is sparse and lacks detailed leadership or team pages.

Leadership

No specific leadership could be confirmed for the entity "Octavian.SPb." Group-level executives are based in Italy, but their exact names and titles are not consistently published in accessible English-language materials. Anton Mikhaylov is listed on ZoomInfo as Team Lead, 2D Graphics at Octavian Game Art, but this is a mid-level role, not C-suite.
