Expanse Studios Sets New Milestones in the American Gaming Market

Expanse Studios has successfully completed its participation in Sigma Americas 2023, the gaming industry’s most distinguished exhibition of the Western Hemisphere. The event was held in Sao Paolo from June 14 to 18 and brought together leading figures from the Latin American gaming industry – a region full of opportunities and promise.
As part of the Studio’s commitment to expanding its reach in both emerging and established markets, its presence at this influential event underscored the company’s dedication to innovation and unparalleled quality. This event served as a perfect platform to engage with affiliates, suppliers, and operators within the thriving Latin American gaming ecosystem.
The Studio That Stands Out
Since its inception in 2017, Expanse Studios has been making waves in the industry, consistently delivering outstanding products. The range of their 42 in-house RNG games – from globally popular slots like Titan Roulette, Clown Fever, and Wild Icy Fruits, to engaging table games – are all developed in HTML5 technology. This allowed them to ensure 100% mobile compatibility, catering to the ever-increasing demand for mobile gaming experiences.
A Thriving Presence in the Gaming Landscape
At the heart of Expanse Studios’ success lies a dual focus on old-school motifs and cutting-edge design, paired with high-quality soundtracks and animations. This unique approach not only resonated with the existing fan base but also caught the eye of new players across the globe.
The Opportunities at Sigma Americas 2023
Sigma Americas 2023 offered a unique chance for participants to tap into Brazil’s burgeoning iGaming market, projected to grow to around 2.6 billion over the next five years. The country’s recent strides towards legalizing both online and land-based gaming presented a golden opportunity for industry players like us. Expanse Studios was keenly looking forward to making a significant contribution to this growth, leveraging advanced and fully customizable promo tools.
During the expo, guests had the chance to experience firsthand the superior design and functionality of top games. Among them were classics like Titan Roulette and Clown Fever, along with recent releases: Pia, Zombie Apocalypse, Wild White Whale, God of Coins, and most recent releases like Pia and Spinning Buddha.
Visitors also enjoyed the thrilling excitement offered by Expanse Studios’ popular features, including Bonus buy and sticky symbols.

Habanero content now available at PlayUZU.bet.br and BacanaPlay.bet.br

Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet has announced the expansion of its partnership with premium slot provider Habanero into Brazil, as both companies deepen their presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing regulated iGaming markets.
Players at PlayUZU.bet.br and BacanaPlay.bet.br now have access to Habanero’s acclaimed portfolio of slots and tables games. This includes fan-favorites like Hot Hot Fruit, new titles like Love & Riches Eldorado, and Habanero’s industry-renowned progressive slot, Jackpot Race™, which uses a sophisticated algorithm to deliver instant prize drops to players.
Brazil’s newly regulated online gaming market, effective since January 1, 2025, is projected to generate $2.9 billion in gross annual revenue this year, with potential growth to $6.3 billion by 2028, according to Vixio regulatory analysts.
SkillOnNet was among the first operators to secure licensing in the country, launching PlayUZU.bet.br and BacanaPlay.bet.br earlier this year.
The rollout of Habanero’s games into SkillOnNet’s Brazilian platforms reflects the company’s strategy of offering diverse and high-quality gaming experiences tailored to local markets.
Arcangelo Lonoce, Head of Business Development at Habanero, said: “We are extremely pleased to extend our partnership with SkillOnNet to Brazil and further boost our collaboration. As one of the most anticipated market openings in a number of years, it has been a key focus for us. We are delighted that games like Hot Hot Fruit, Santa’s Village, and Zeus Deluxe – all of which have already proven successful in several other markets – will now be available to SkillOnNet’s Brazilian customers.”
Jani Kontturi, Head of Games at SkillOnNet, said: “Brazil represents one of the most exciting and dynamic opportunities in the global iGaming landscape. Partnering with Habanero in this market allows us to deliver world-class content to a rapidly growing audience hungry for premium gaming experiences. This move reflects our long-term commitment to localized growth and best-in-class entertainment.”
