Mancala Gaming
Company Overview
Mancala Gaming s.r.o. is a Prague-based B2B studio that develops online slots, crash games, and instant games for casino operators. The company says it was founded in 2019, and its own account describes the business starting from a small Prague coffee bar before expanding into its current offices — though the studio has not published an exact founding month, so only the year is stated here.
The studio is led by CEO Nikita Gorshkov and CCO Emiliano Sanchez, both of whom have spoken to industry press about the company’s expansion into markets including Africa, Latin America, and Spain. Mancala describes itself as an in-house game studio, handling design, mathematics, and development internally rather than distributing third-party or white-label content.
What sets Mancala apart from many slot-only studios is its parallel focus on crash and instant games alongside traditional video slots, plus a stated emphasis on “narrative-first” game design and lightweight builds — the company says many of its titles are under 5MB, aimed at markets with slower or costlier data connections.

Flagship Games & Style
Mancala’s catalogue splits between narrative-driven video slots and its crash-game line. RocketRun is the studio’s recurring crash title, appearing in several variants and picked up more than once by third-party industry outlets for monthly game recognitions. On the slots side, the studio has pointed to Diego’s Spicy Truck as one of its stronger performers in its own partner announcements.
Beyond those two, Mancala’s release slate includes titles such as Mariachi Afortunado, Freak Machine, Bank Maker, Spin Queen, Madame Veyra, and Bonkey Donkey. Several of these have been singled out by third-party affiliate and review outlets — including Chipy, CasinoFreak, and SlotsMate — for “Editor’s Choice” or “Game of the Month” style recognitions; those are outside assessments rather than claims Mancala makes about itself.
On the technical side, the studio markets API-based integration, wallet and transfer support, multi-currency handling across fiat and crypto, and a one-month negative carryover policy for operators. Mancala’s own certifications also include ISO/IEC 27001 information-security certification through TayllorCox, alongside its GLI-certified RNG — the latter independently confirmed through GLI’s public certificate registry, which lists a certification date of 6 December 2022, a passing result, and validity through the end of August 2026.
Mancala does not run a program that hosts other studios’ content under its own brand. Instead, its games reach operators through platform and aggregation partners, including Plati+, Aardvark Technologies, SoftSwiss, BetConstruct, Reevo, SoftGamings, Groove, Lynon, and BlueOcean Gaming — all platform, aggregation, or betting-software providers rather than casino operator brands.
Latest Releases
Mancala does not publish release dates for individual games, so specific launch timing for its newer titles isn’t confirmed. The studio’s more recent public activity centers on a rebrand: in late April 2026 it announced a new visual identity and website. Since then, several of its titles have picked up outside recognition rather than formal releases — Mariachi Afortunado was included in Chipy’s 2026 games selection, Freak Machine was featured in a Gambling Talk review, and the studio was shortlisted in the AffPapa Awards 2026 and nominated in the Casino Guru Awards 2026. These are third-party mentions rather than confirmed new-game launches.
