Games Lab

Games Lab is an Australian game development studio based in Sydney, specialising in casino games, social casino experiences and casual digital entertainment. Its production history began under the Blue Wombat group in 2002, followed by incorporation in 2008. The studio brings together mathematical game design, visual development, animation, audio and software engineering to create games for land-based, online, social and mobile platforms.

The company's early work centred on electronic gaming machines and custom slot suites for third-party operators in Australia and international markets. The supplied company history records more than 300 original slot titles produced since 2003. Its casino development work combines game mathematics and mechanics with character design, environments, interface design, animation and sound.

From casino games to original entertainment

Games Lab expanded into social and casual gaming in 2013 with Slots Central. Initially released on Facebook, the social casino platform subsequently reached iOS and Android. Its broader mobile portfolio includes Penny Parlor, Bomba and the children's educational title Toot Toot ABC, demonstrating work beyond its core casino market.

The studio also developed the original fantasy property Final War: 5 Dragons, combining turn-based play, match-3 puzzles and card battles. That property extended into a physical tactical card game series released in 2016, connecting its digital development work with tabletop entertainment.

Production and distribution

Games Lab offers end-to-end custom game creation alongside specialist art and animation services. Its production capabilities cover mathematical modelling, concept art, storyboards, character illustration, interface layouts, finished assets, custom audio and sound effects. These capabilities support tailored games for electronic gaming machines, online casinos and social gaming operators.

Its more recent iGaming work focuses on high-volatility video slots developed with fellow Sydney studio ReelPlay. Through partner distribution and integration with Yggdrasil Gaming's YG Masters programme, Games Lab has brought titles including Towering Pays Valhalla, Towering Pays Excalibur and Royal Dragon Infinity Reels to international online casino markets.
