Over 10 new slot games lined up for 2025: Galaxys CEO Hayk Sargsyan
For the past three years, Galaxsys has earned a reputation for its fast‑paced, skill‑based games—simple to pick up but hard to put down. Yet in early 2025, the Armenia‑based studio took a deliberate turn into the world of online slots, a category dominated by long‑standing incumbents and well‑worn mechanics. In a recent sit‑down with SiGMA News, CEO Hayk Sargsyan explained that this wasn’t a knee‑jerk reaction to market hype. Instead, it was the result of four years of listening closely to partners, attending global industry expos, and spotting a clear opportunity: a new generation of players hungry for freshness and interactivity in slots.
“The experience and industry recognition we’ve earned during this time, particularly through participating in numerous global events, including several SiGMA expos, have also played a key role in shaping this decision,” Sargsyan noted.
“We weren’t entering slots just to follow the trend or compete for market share—we were stepping in because we genuinely believed we had something to offer,” he added.

From first spin to full steam ahead
Galaxsys’s maiden slot release, El Dorado, landed in March with a deceptively simple one‑line layout. Behind that simplicity lay a 15‑level bonus track capable of delivering a 1,000× multiplier—proof that depth can coexist with approachability. Operator feedback was swift and positive, and player metrics—session duration, repeat visits, and bonus‑round participation—all outpaced the market average.
Buoyed by that early success, Galaxsys followed up with Olympian Legends, a mythologically themed title, and Funny Faces: Hoglet‑Moglet, which layers a “Hoglet‑Dice” progression feature over each spin. Both were snapped up by top‑tier operators faster than anticipated. “Those initial launches showed us we could hit the ground running,” Sargsyan said. “Our metrics didn’t just meet our benchmarks—they exceeded them.”

Packed pipeline
With three releases under its belt, Galaxsys is now accelerating toward a downright ambitious target: more than ten new slot titles over the next 12 months. Several of these are slated for Q2, with themes ranging from high‑adventure treasure hunts to whimsical animal kingdoms. But beyond settings, what unites them is a commitment to meaningful gamification.
“We’re talking about features that reward long‑term engagement, not just individual spins,” Sargsyan explained. Rather than sprinkling in generic free spins, Galaxsys is building in level‑up tracks, unlockable mini‑games, and achievement systems that nod to the studio’s fast‑game heritage. The goal is to give players a tangible sense of progression, so they feel invested in the journey as much as the jackpot.
One of the trickiest challenges in slot development is marrying novelty with ease of use. Sargsyan acknowledged that Galaxsys had to tweak its development pipeline, shifting from bite‑sized fast games to larger, more iterative slot projects. Yet the guiding principle remained the same: intuitive gameplay.
“Complexity for its own sake is never our aim,” he said. “We add layers only where they enhance the player experience.” The Hoglet‑Moglet mechanic, for example, feels at home in a quick‑spin slot because the extra moves on the bonus track are visually clear and immediately rewarding. No manual required; the system teaches itself as you play.

Hunting for growth in emerging markets
Galaxsys’s slot push isn’t limited to established iGaming hubs. The company is doubling down on Latin America and Africa—regions experiencing explosive mobile adoption and a craving for novel content. In these markets, operators are keen to diversify their offerings beyond the usual slot fare, making them prime partners for Galaxsys’s fresh takes. At the same time, the studio is eyeing Europe and Asia, where regulatory certainty and mature platforms offer stable channels for new releases.
“In three to five years, I don’t just see us growing our market share,” Sargsyan said. “I see us setting the bar for what a modern B2B iGaming studio can be—a place where operators know they’ll find originality, quality, and a partner who listens as much as they deliver.” Plans even extend into the B2C realm, with influencer collaborations and affiliate‑focused tools on the docket.
