Spribe

Spribe is perhaps one of the more original casino game producers to enter the industry, and that is thanks to them producing something other than online slots or table games. Mainly crash games and other forms of arcade casino games. But we’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves here, let’s take a look at the company details before checking out the games themselves.

The company was founded in 2018. Today they are based in Warsaw, Poland, but they have links to Estonia, Ukraine, and Georgia. The latter seems to have been the place where the company had its first partnership with an online casino. The expansion hence has been fast, as the company’s games are available worldwide at this point. According to themselves, Aviator is present in over two thousand partner sites.

Security and Safety

The expansion includes proper licensing, and today the company holds a licence from Malta Gaming Authority, and UK Gambling Commission. On top of this the games have been tested and certified for more than a dozen other jurisdictions, like Netherlands, Colombia, Latvia, Sweden, Georgia, Romania, Italy, and many others.

Now, let’s move onto the games themselves.

Crash and Arcade Games

Spribe defines their casino games as arcade or crash games, and sometimes as turbo games. These are widely different from your normal casino games, such as slots or video poker, though that doesn’t make them hard to grasp. Rather the opposite, they tend to be quite easy to follow and quick to play. At the same time, they offer a lot of entertainment by allowing the player a lot more freedom than traditional casino games.

Top games from Spribe:

• Aviator

Aviator isn’t exactly the first crash game, but it’s the first one that became popular in online casinos. The roots of this game type go back into 2014, when similar games were created in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community. It’s a simple game where you bet on how high the multiplier will become. The thing that makes it unique is the fact that you can cash out at any time, but note that the plane can also crash at any point before you cash out.

• Mines

Mines is a classic Windows game, and that’s where this game draws inspiration from. And it’s not all that different, other than obviously this is not a skill game. Pick spots on the grid and hope you wont’ hit a mine. Increase the playfield and number of mines for bigger payouts.

• Plinko

Plinko has become popular via the same route as Aviator, but its roots go much further. There is no single claim to fame, as the game has existed in various countries in various forms. It too is rather simple, drop the balls and see where they land. The payouts range wildly, and so do the chances of scoring them. Another instant hit thanks to fast-paced gameplay.

• Dice

Very simple setup: throw a dice, set the slider to adjust your odds, and bet on which side of the slider the dice falls. In effect, the dice generates a random number between 0 and 99, and the smaller the odds of you hitting the right number the bigger the payouts.

• Goal

This game is somewhat similar to mine, the theme is of course different, and the game plays in a slightly different fashion. The player needs to make it to the other end of the grid and score a goal, and this is done by picking positions one by one. The danger is hitting a bomb and losing the bet!

• HiLo

Somewhat similar to Dice, but quite a lot more simplified. Simply guess whether the next card will be higher or lower than the previous card. That’s it, select your bet and keep on hitting those cards!

• MiniRoulette

As you probably understand by now, Spribe prefers to make simple games with fast action. And truth be told, it’s not so often that you see new versions of roulette. This mini-version comes with only 12 numbers. The possible bets and payouts have been adjusted accordingly.

• Keno

One of the sole games that don’t really bring anything new or innovative into online casinos around the world. This is just classic keno, though there are different versions with different amount of numbers. Pick your numbers, make a bet, and see which ones come up!

• HotLine

This game originates from the eSports side of things, at least according to Spribe itself. Bet on Red or Black, or take the risk and bet on Hot. Simple action once again, as the computer draws a random result matching the above choices. However, the maximum win is over one thousand times the bet.

Common Characteristics

Spribe is obviously aiming for fast-paced gaming, with simplicity as a defining factor. Yet that simplicity aims for ease of gaming, rather than clear-cut and boring entertainment. There is no unnecessary repetition between titles. Whilst the selection is relatively small, it offers many more interesting casino games when compared to slot providers that come dime in a dozen.

Casino gaming is a competitive industry, and it’s especially hard to innovate and come up with something new. Yet that’s exactly what the company has achieved. As is attested by the fact that now almost everyone is pushing out their own crash games.

Another noteworthy aspect is that the games kind of bring back lower volatility gaming, especially when it comes to wins. Progressive jackpots and online slots have been building up bigger and bigger pots, and there has developed a dead-zone of sorts. It’s hard to find games that aim for low or medium variance, with wins that are in hundreds and thousands. And it goes well with the RTPs and risks these games present.

Further Steps With Poker

Rather than staying just as a mere niche game developer, which itself is debatable given how widely these casino games are available, Spribe seems to have taken steps to build their own platform.

One of the upcoming products includes their own poker client. Truthfully, it's been quite a while since we’ve had news about any new poker software. The industry has gone rather the other way, consolidating into a handful of bigger networks.

But it’s not such a surprise that Spribe is trying to innovate and gain ground here. Judging by their existing games, they have identified a way to engage players who’d otherwise bypass these games. And once again, it comes with simplicity and aims for the more modern mobile gamers. Of course, the setup is pretty awesome for desktop computers too.

Rather than give too much choice, the company has decided on just a handful of games. These include Hold’em, Omaha, and a special Hold’em 6+ version of the game. That’s it, which is no surprise as these two have always been the most popular forms of online poker.

Of course, there are other modifiers at play. For example, you can play both tournaments and Sit & Go games. Tournaments include freerolls, bounties, satellites, and several other options. Naturally, they come with the buyin, rebuy, and other such modifiers.

Spin Poker is something that Spribe seems to have come up with by themselves. This is basically a mini-tournament, with the aim for fast play. No need to sit at the same tournament for hours on end. The company has also added more social engagement in the form of in-game missions.

Interpretation

Spribe is without a doubt one of the more interesting casino gaming companies to have emerged in recent years. Which is quite something to say, as there are hundreds of game producers these days.

What sets them apart is that they are clearly concentrating on a faster gameplay experience. That, and the fact that they haven’t touched slots and table games (unless you count one mini-roulette game) so far. They've set out to create something that other companies don’t offer, and have also managed to add in some player agency into the mix.

It’s a refreshing take, and it seems like they are introducing something similar with online poker. Their games also dial down the craze for massive win pots, instead of concentrating on a more manageable risk and reward setup. This also means that you don’t need to endure hundreds and hundreds of empty spins in the hopes of hitting something.

Spribe is without a doubt one of the gaming companies that you should keep an eye on. And that’s rather easy, because in just a handful of years they have spread to hundreds, if not thousands of online casinos. All thanks to their unique, entertaining, and easy to play casino games.
