CasinoLove recently had the opportunity to interview Vladyslav Garanko (Chief Business Development Officer of Platipus) and Stanislav Mykhailov (Chief Commercial Officer) from Platipus. Platipus is a prominent company in the gaming industry, best known for developing high-quality slot and casino games for social, mobile, and real-money platforms.
Platipus Gaming, founded in 2014, began as a company focused on social gaming. Over time, the team realized the immense potential and appeal of online casino games, prompting a shift in their business model.
"We transitioned from social gaming to casino games because of their profitability and the unique challenges they presented."
This pivot allowed Platipus to leverage its knowledge of slot mechanics and establish itself as a key player in the competitive iGaming industry. Creativity and innovation have since become central to the company's growth.
The year 2018 marked a significant milestone for Platipus as the team expanded to over 60 employees. This period of rapid growth set the stage for continued success in subsequent years.
"Every year brought new achievements, from breaking into new markets to releasing record-breaking games."
During the pandemic, Platipus demonstrated remarkable resilience, adapting to the challenges of a shifting global market. By 2025, it had become a globally recognized brand, known for delivering exceptional gaming experiences.
Platipus has established itself as a truly global brand, operating in nearly every continent and catering to diverse player preferences. Europe and Latin America remain key markets, with tailored offerings that resonate with local audiences.
"In some regions, Asian-themed games dominate, while classic slots are more popular in Europe. Understanding these trends has been crucial."
The company’s commitment to global accessibility ensures that its games reach players wherever they are, with a future focus on emerging markets.
Platipus boasts a catalog of over 150 games, with Wild Spin, Wild Crowns, and Ultra Disco standing out as fan favorites. These titles have become hits due to their engaging themes and exceptional production quality.
"Our table games, like Blackjack and European Roulette, offer a unique experience alongside our popular slot games."
Regular updates and the introduction of fresh themes and mechanics ensure that the portfolio remains exciting and relevant for players across all markets.
Responsible gaming is a core value at Platipus. Tools like loss limits help players manage their activities, while industry partnerships promote best practices in protecting vulnerable individuals.
"It's about identifying potential problem players early and taking steps to ensure their safety."
The company takes an active role in fostering a safer gaming environment through data-driven solutions and player-focused features.
Every game in the Platipus portfolio undergoes rigorous testing and certification by trusted laboratories like BMM and GLI. This ensures fairness and reliability for players worldwide.
"Certifications are more than a requirement—they are a promise of trust and transparency."
Players are also empowered with knowledge about game mechanics, RTP rates, and volatility, enabling them to make informed decisions and enjoy a fair gaming experience.
Platipus extends its gratitude to its loyal players while inviting new ones to explore their games. Demo versions are readily available for those who wish to experience the games without financial commitment.
"Your feedback helps us grow. Let us know what you love and what can be improved."
This ongoing dialogue with players ensures that Platipus continues to deliver innovative and engaging games that cater to their needs.
Following up from our ICE 2025 conversation, CasinoLove caught up with Stanislav Mykhailov, Chief Commercial Officer at Platipus, during the SBC Summit Malta 2025. He shared the company’s recent milestones and their ambitious roadmap for the rest of the year.
2025 marks Platipus’ 10th anniversary, a major milestone reflecting its longevity and innovation in the industry. As Stanislav noted, this moment is not only a time for celebration but also for expansion.
"We are now an aggregator, a live studio, and entering new markets like the UK."
With an eye on regulated markets, particularly the UKGC license application, Platipus aims to deepen its presence in Europe as a trusted provider.
One of the most valuable takeaways from a decade of growth is understanding the player. As Stanislav explains:
"Not all releases are hits. You must know what engages your audience."
This insight drives their recent shift toward developing more table games, including the successful expansion of poker and Blackjack titles in markets such as Europe, Asia, and Canada. Their latest addition, Triple Strike Poker, reflects this strategic direction.
Games like "Loot ‘n’ Load" and "Plinko" have not only expanded their portfolio but also pushed design boundaries. The team focused on high engagement and feature-rich experiences, especially during Free Spins modes.
"When you trigger Free Spins in 'Loot ‘n’ Load', you'll feel the difference."
Platipus fans can look forward to a number of major developments:
These efforts demonstrate Platipus’ commitment to delivering fresh and exciting content across multiple verticals.
Reflecting on broader industry shifts, Stanislav emphasized the complexity of 2025 for providers due to regulatory changes, particularly in Brazil and Latin America.
"We are staying compliant and competitive, even in tough markets."
Their strategy remains focused on adaptability and customer understanding—a common thread in Platipus’ success story.
Players love hearing about lucky strikes, and Platipus had several to share. One standout was a German player who won over €100,000 on a low-volatility game, Plinko.
"That kind of multiplier is phenomenal, especially for a game like Plinko."
Such wins, along with daily jackpot payouts across the portfolio, highlight the excitement Platipus games bring to the iGaming community.
With a growing live studio, a decade of lessons, and a keen eye on regulation and player trends, Platipus is poised for an even stronger finish to 2025. Their blend of innovation and grounded experience continues to shape their rise in the global gaming space.
