European Gaming caught up with Hayk Sargsyan, the visionary CEO of gaming studio Galaxsys, one of the leaders in fast and crash games, which are capturing the attention of online casino players across Europe and Latin America. Hayk’s leadership and strategic vision have been instrumental in Galaxsys’s rapid growth and success.

Tell us about Galaxsys and why Fast and Crash Games are becoming popular with casino players. 

Galaxsys is young company, only a few years in iGaming B2B terms. We specialise in unique ‘fast and crash games’ for the iGaming and online casino market. These games are characterised by their fast-paced gameplay, and the thrill of the game theme. We design, create, and develop highly engaging and attractive games for casino players, offering them a unique and exciting gaming experience.

Casino and Slot players like to maximise their time to play without learning the complexities of characters, bonus conditions, and bonus rounds, which can confuse them, particularly when they have only a certain amount of free time for gameplay.  Galaxsys games are played across many different markets. Online casino players want to try something new and different, but they also like simple and easier-to-play games, which is why we provide these.

At Galaxsys, we understand that players value a streamlined experience with low friction and control over their gameplay. This is why our Crash and Fast Games are in high demand, as they cater to these player preferences. B2C operators are also keen to add our game portfolio to their casino lobby, further validating our player-centric approach. 

Ninja Crash has won several awards. What makes this such a great game?  

Ninja Crash performs strongly in our game portfolio across continental Europe and Latin America, where the game won the accolade of ‘Most Played Game 2024’ at the SiGMA Americas Summit. Recent upgrades include a mobile landscape, auto-play mode, freeze bonus feature, and advanced algorithms designed to captivate and retain players. These combinations of upgrades increase the player’s enjoyment of gaming, which leads to increased player satisfaction and revenue.

One of our flagship unique games, Ninja Crash, is very popular with operators. We added the Combo Bonus feature, and the multiplier can now reach up to 500x for each slice, and a new Ninja character has been introduced. Our design and product teams have taken this engaging and fan-favourite game to the next level to offer players an enhanced and immersive gaming experience.  

From an engagement, player experience standpoint, Galaxsys games are focused on providing the players with a straightforward gaming experience that delivers high-quality visuals, themes, and elements that the player can relate to and play with little effort.  

It’s the trade show season. What other games are you showcasing on your travels? 

Galaxsys’s game portfolio stands out with its accessibility to 150+ operators, 170 currency options, and the availability of 30+ games in a single game integration. These unique features and robust performance with our partner operators across all markets make them a compelling choice for potential new partners. Partnering with Galaxsys not only gives you access to our innovative games but also our extensive network and industry expertise, which can help you maximise your revenue and player engagement.

Our sales team is always excited to showcase our new games at industry events. ‘Dr. Shocker‘ offers a thrilling, fast-paced experience where players connect cables to win. ‘Tower Rush’ challenges players to create endless floors for maximum chances. ‘Limbo Crash’ introduces an exciting concept, with winnings dependent on chosen multipliers. ‘Bingo Star’ combines popular bingo elements with a surprising twist. ‘Hot Gear’ blends speed and fashion, requiring players to scratch their fingers and reveal matching odds or attractive symbols. ‘Cosmo Saga’ is a puzzle game that requires players to move colourful particles to create winning combinations. Each game is designed to provide casino players with a unique and engaging experience, and we are confident that they will be well-received by our audience. 

What are your plans for summer and the remainder of the year? 

We aim to continue improving, upgrading, and innovating across our game portfolio to deliver the best gaming experiences. In the coming months, we plan to expand our market presence in Europe and Latin America and explore potential partnerships with local operators. Doing so can drive player engagement and revenue opportunities for our partner operators, which is at the core of our business strategy.

Europe and Latin America are undoubtedly growing and dynamic markets for B2B gaming studios such as Galaxsys. We have seen strong market demand for our games in Brazil and Mexico, and the Baltics where players are particularly drawn to our unique game features and engaging gameplay. Therefore, it is essential to follow regulatory change and the requirements of those frameworks to ensure the optimal certifications and gambling responsibilities. We were also delighted to have our games certified recently in Peru and Colombia, further expanding our market reach in the region.

We will work with our partner operators to deliver more profound game experiences and localisations. We have commenced the development of our own slot games, which we are incredibly excited to introduce into the marketplace over the next two quarters of this year.   We shall be attending many summer expos such as iGB Live, G2E Asia, and SiGMA Asia to further showcase our games.
