Expanse Studios Expands Super Heli with Premium Version, Adding Strategic Depth
Event summary
- Expanse Studios launched Super Heli Premium on January 28, 2026, expanding its flagship crash game with four new gameplay mechanics.
- The new version includes Over/Under, Range Betting, 50% Cash-Out, and Auto Play/Auto Cash-Out features to enhance player engagement.
- Operators can customize visual themes for different markets (USA, Greece, Egypt, Brazil, Japan) without altering core mechanics or RTP.
- Super Heli Premium is live across Expanse's global operator network, adding to the studio's portfolio of 66 proprietary titles.
The big picture
Expanse Studios is positioning Super Heli as a platform rather than a single game, allowing operators to configure volatility and visual themes to match player demographics. This aligns with the broader industry trend of gamifying traditional casino offerings to enhance player stickiness. With over 1,300 B2B partnerships and 66 proprietary titles, Expanse is leveraging its IP to reduce licensing dependencies and strengthen its market footprint.
