Relax Gaming
Relax Gaming is a business-to-business slot studio that supplies games to online casino operators. The company was founded in 2010 by Patrik Österaker and Jani Tekoniemi, and it did not start out as a game developer in the current sense — it launched as Relax Apex, a content aggregation and distribution platform. Relax Gaming began producing its own in-house slots in 2018, and it has run both businesses in parallel since: an internal development studio and a separate content-distribution arm that carries other studios’ games.
That dual structure is the main thing that sets Relax Gaming apart from single-studio developers. Its own team builds franchises such as Money Train and Temple Tumble, while its Powered By Relax and Silver Bullet programs distribute games made by outside, partner studios through the same platform. The two are commercially connected but creatively separate, and this profile keeps them apart throughout — games listed under “Flagship Games” below are Relax’s own releases only.
Public corporate-registry records list a Sliema, Malta company address for the business, though Relax Gaming’s own site does not name a single headquarters; it instead describes a multi-office history spanning Malmo, Malta, Belgrade, Gibraltar, Stockholm and Novi Sad. No parent company or controlling investor is disclosed on the official site, and none could be independently confirmed.

Flagship Games & Style
Relax Gaming’s in-house portfolio is built around a small number of long-running franchises rather than a large scattershot catalog. The Money Train series is the studio’s most successful self-developed line, with five main-series entries to date; Money Train 5 launched on June 8, 2026. The Temple Tumble series (including Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop) is an adventure-themed tumble-mechanic line that the studio also develops internally.
The studio’s signature proprietary technology is Dream Drop Jackpots, a progressive jackpot network built into multiple Relax-developed titles rather than a single standalone game. Industry trade coverage traces its launch to 2022, though CasinoHostNews could not verify an exact launch date against Relax’s own site.
Relax Gaming’s Midnight Marauder series is a more recent addition, with “Midnight Marauder – ClusterBreaker” released in-house on June 25, 2026. World Class Kick Off Dream Drop, released June 4, 2026, is described by Relax as its first football-themed slot and combines the Dream Drop jackpot technology with a new theme.
Partner content: not developed by Relax Gaming
Separately from its own studio output, Relax Gaming runs two partner-distribution programs on its platform:
- Powered By Relax — a program through which third-party studios’ games are distributed via Relax’s platform. Relax has reported 25 partners live under this program. Games released this way are developed by the partner studios, not by Relax Gaming.
- Silver Bullet — a partner-content initiative through which Relax has stated 18 games have launched via 9 partner studios. As with Powered By Relax, these titles are third-party productions distributed, not developed, by Relax.
