About Gimmie Games
Gimmie Games develops casino slot games for land-based gaming machines, social casino applications and regulated real-money online platforms. Founded in Decatur, Georgia, in 2012 by Daniel Marks, the studio combines mathematical game design with visual art, animation, audio and software engineering. Its work spans the development of original game concepts and the adaptation of games across physical and digital channels.
The studio's production capabilities cover the full game lifecycle: mechanics and mathematical modeling, concept illustration, character design, 2D and 3D artwork, interface design, animation, musical composition and sound implementation. Engineering work includes real-time graphics, platform integration and cross-platform deployment, supported by quality assurance, regulatory compliance and jurisdictional mathematics validation. This combination supports games designed for different casino markets and technical environments.
Games and platforms
Its portfolio includes the Bao Zhu Zhao Fu, Mighty Cash, Mo' Mummy and Dragon Lanterns families. Individual releases include Zorro Mighty Cash, Mighty Cash Ultra 88, Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Red Festival and Triple Dragon Lanterns. The studio also develops extensions within the Buffalo franchise, including Buffalo Strike! and Buffalo Triple Power, alongside titles such as Sky Rider, Storm Queens and Magic Flower.
Digital work reaches social casino applications including Cashman Casino, Heart of Vegas, Lightning Link Casino, FaFaFa Gold, Big Fish Casino and Jackpot Magic Slots. Its broader market coverage includes regulated land-based casino jurisdictions and real-money online casino platforms, allowing its game development capabilities to serve multiple distribution channels.
Aristocrat Leisure Limited acquired Gimmie Games in January 2018. The business continues to operate as an active Aristocrat Gaming studio, with development teams in Georgia and an integrated India division. Those teams contribute across creative development, game design, engineering and testing. In September 2025, the studio announced that Wizard Games had joined its studio family.
