The slot industry has never been shy about recycling a good idea or even a bad one, for that matter. Providers routinely chase the same trends and revisit tired themes over and over again. Every now and then, however, a provider dares to be different and breaks out of the mould. Nolimit City led the charge. Now, EXCO Game Studio appears to be taking up the cause. They’re a no-bullshit enterprise that promises no recycled ideas, no shortcuts, and no half-baked releases.

EXCO Game Studio is still relatively new, and its focus on creating something fresh with every release means its catalog remains small. The company has launched just four games so far, and we have added all of them to our game library for you to try.

Vegascaline

Think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, for those of you who have seen it. The Vegascaline slot is a drug-induced fever dream that has taken way too many psychedelics for its own good. It takes the theme and ratchets it up to 11, and it’s just a mess, in the best possible way.

The slot features Wrapper Stacks that can nudge to cover the entire reel and award free re-spins. There is also a Pow Bar during free spins, which increases the global multiplier by 1x with each spin. The max bet on the slot is $25, and if you’re spinning at that level, you’ll have a shot at up to $250,000 in winnings. The Vegascaline slot features high volatility and offers an RTP of 96%.

Piranha Bite Club

The Piranha Bite Club slot opens with a retro beach postcard vibe, although the multiplier bar above the reels definitely points to something more off the wall behind the scenes. When you enter free spins, that off-the-wall vibe gets kicked into high gear, with piranhas taking over amid body parts, mayhem, and blood galore. It’s gruesome and a lot of fun.

The slot features a multiplier reel above the main reels, stacked piranha wilds, and free spins. Betting on the Piranha Bite Club slot starts at just $0.20 a spin, and with a possible 15,000x multiplier, there is potential for some impressive wins. The slot features high volatility and offers an expected RTP of 96%.

Luna X

Anime/manga-style slots are nothing new. That said, these slots almost always lose the dynamism and energy of their source material. The Luna X slot doesn’t. This is an anime/manga-style slot created by someone who genuinely enjoys the medium, rather than someone simply trying to use its aesthetic to chase a trend. The backgrounds are vibrant, while the expressive characters feel as though they have stepped straight out of an anime series.

The slot features a really cool combat-style mode in free spins, with our heroine Luna battling bosses, each of which has three lives. When Luna defeats a boss, all future instances of that symbol become sticky wilds, and you also get a few extra spins. The slot features a massive 25,000x max multiplier and an expected RTP of 96.13%.

The Robbin’ Goblins: EXCO

When I saw the thumbnail for The Robbin’ Goblins slot, I swear I’d seen this game before. The goblin in question is pretty generic. Then I launched the slot, and there was nothing generic about it. The background is set on a tilted axis, which immediately made me feel uneasy. It was a visual trick I hadn’t seen before, and it had me instantly interested.

The slot features free spins, a Power Bar, and a rogue’s gallery of five goblins, each with its own personality and bonus features. Betting on the slot starts at just $0.10 a spin. The slot has an expected RTP of 96% and features high-volatility gameplay.
