Crazy Tooth Studio Review

From Independence to Wider Distribution

Initially producing games for smaller markets and land-based operators, Crazy Tooth began to attract wider attention when it entered an exclusive distribution partnership with Microgaming (now Games Global) in 2019. This allowed its titles to reach major regulated markets through Microgaming’s network.

That step marked a transition from being a niche independent developer to one with a global footprint.

Game Portfolio

Crazy Tooth’s catalogue consists entirely of online slots. These include titles such as Arctic Valor™, Queen of the Crystal Rays™, Diamond Force, Lucky Clucks®, Build the Bank™, and Bubble Beez™. The studio continues to release a steady stream of original concepts, often with unusual reel layouts or mechanics.

Mechanics and Features

The company is known for experimenting with slot game mechanics. Some of the proprietary systems include Big BuildUp™, CoinVerge™, and Respin Insanity™, each designed to alter how players interact with reels and bonus rounds.

Return-to-player values typically sit in the 96–97% range, with volatility often on the higher side, making them suitable for players who prefer more risk-driven gameplay.

Technology and Platforms

Games are built using HTML5 and the Unity engine. This ensures that all titles are available as instant-play games across desktop and mobile devices, without the need for downloads.

Behind the scenes, development is supported by Crazy Tooth’s own frameworks: INCISOR®, which allows for rapid prototyping and iteration, and CTS Arsenal™, a wider toolkit guiding games from early design through to release.

A Boutique Studio with a Defined Focus

While many competitors branch into live dealer, table games, or social products, Crazy Tooth Studio remains focused on slot development alone. Its size – generally estimated at a few dozen employees – gives it flexibility to concentrate on novel ideas without the scale of larger suppliers.

Notable Titles

Some releases stand out for the way they reflect the studio’s approach:

• Arctic Valor™ – the first slot released under the Microgaming partnership, featuring free spins and falling ice shard wilds.
• Lucky Clucks® – a humorous farm-themed slot with the Big BuildUp™ feature.
• Queen of the Crystal Rays™ – notable for its expanding reels and scatter-based free spins.
• 3 Devils Pinball™ – a hybrid design blending pinball influences into slot play.
• Build the Bank™ – incorporating a modern pick-and-win mechanic with multiplier potential.
