Maths profile, licences and the fish games question
What it is
EURASIAN Gaming, usually shortened to EA Gaming, is a studio based in Valletta, Malta, that gives 2018 as its founding year. Its range is wider than most slot studios. Video slots make up the bulk, and the catalogue tracked by SlotCatalog now counts more than 170 titles, but the studio also builds video bingo, fish hunting games and cluster games.
The studio holds licences in Curacao and the Isle of Man. Its games are tested by Gaming Labs, and the company is certified under ISO 27001 for information security. SlotCatalog lists it as present in casinos across nearly a hundred countries, with large footprints in Canada, Finland and Austria.

- The games are available through the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator with a single API connection.
- The company has expanded into Hungary with local operator partners.
Fish hunting games are the unusual part of the offer. They are popular in Asian markets and almost absent from European lobbies. Players aim and shoot at targets, and skill appears to play a part even though outcomes are still governed by the game's maths. A fish game gives a brand something few competitors have, but regulators treat any perceived skill element carefully.
Who it's for
Crypto-first casinos, where EA Gaming turns up often, and lobbies whose players accept long dry spells for the chance of a large hit. The maths profile is a poor match for a lobby built around low-stake casual play.
Before you integrate
- Does your target market accept these licences, given that neither opens the large European regulated markets on its own?
- Which slots fit your audience's volatility preferences, as a sensible place to start?
- Is the fish format permitted under your licence, according to your compliance team?
- Does the game's description in your lobby avoid suggesting that skill changes the expected return?
- Do the market and the licence support the fish or bingo titles before you add them?
