Crazy Tooth Studio: a Reno provider and its regulated online casinos

Looking for a regulated online casino that runs Crazy Tooth Studio machines? The CASINO button at the top of this page filters only the operators licensed in your jurisdiction that carry this provider. Nothing else. I will not dwell on why this Nevada studio deserves a page of its own among my provider profiles, which I take apart one studio at a time, except to say this: few American studios have made the crossing from land-based to online with so many fresh ideas in their luggage.

One useful clarification before going further: there is no demo on this page. The official site does not publish free versions of its machines, and I am not going to invent a launcher that does not exist. You will find out why further down, along with where to try other reels without wagering.

Why filter casinos by the Crazy Tooth Studio provider?

Because a machine from this studio is not found everywhere. Crazy Tooth Studio has always worked exclusively with a single distribution network: the network that published Arctic Valor in February 2019 first, then Games Global, which took over in 2022. The practical consequence for you: a casino that has not signed with this network will never show Tower of Atlantis or Lucky Clucks in its lobby. The CASINO filter saves you from combing through sites one by one that have nothing to offer you.

What the CASINO button really shows

The list is geolocated. A reader connecting from Spain, Canada or the United Kingdom will only see operators authorised to serve them, under a licence from their own jurisdiction. If you connect from a country where online casinos are not legal, the rule is simple and I stand by it: no brand appears. I prefer an empty list to a dishonest one.

Who is Crazy Tooth Studio?

Behind the brand sits a Nevada corporation, Ursa Major Media Inc., whose name has been registered with the USPTO since 23 February 2011. The official site also gives 2011 as its founding year. The Crazy Tooth Studio mark came a little later: first commercial use on 28 May 2012, filed on 6 June 2012, registration no. 4264678 on 25 December 2012, according to the trademark record available on uspto.report. A tasty detail: a few months earlier, in February 2012, the same company had filed "Snaggle Tooth Studio". The crooked tooth of the founder's dog, a certain Choco, ended up naming the workshop.

The head office is at 400 Mill Street, Unit 101, Reno, NV 89502. Reno, not Las Vegas. The nuance matters in Nevada: Reno is the historic home of cabinet manufacturers, the city where IGT built its empire. Ben Hoffman, founder and president, learned his trade there as a game designer at this historic Reno manufacturer where the founder learned the craft before setting up his own company. His name appears on several patents filed by Ursa Major Media, including the "Expanding Halo Reels" (2016) and a "Single Reel Game" (2014). This is not a studio that dresses up maths bought elsewhere. It invents its mechanics, then protects them.

A small and stable team

Will Burrows, vice president of design, has been there since 2011. He came from architecture and then graphic design, is originally from Alaska, and handles the art direction on most titles. The team describes itself as small and very stable, with maths, art, animation, sound and engineering all in-house. The house slogan, Quality Always Wins, serves as its editorial line.

From land-based to online casino

Crazy Tooth Studio was not born on the internet. It spent its early years designing machines for American gaming floors, on behalf of Bally Technologies, American Gaming Systems, Caesars Entertainment and then, in volume, for IGT. The titles Wrecking Ball, Silver Skies and The Shoe Shop, all filed between 2012 and 2013, date from that period. Bally was eventually absorbed by the company that acquired Bally Technologies in 2014, which gives you an idea of the circles the studio moved in.

The turn towards iGaming came around 2017. It meant building an in-house engine and learning other markets, other players. On 22 February 2019, Microgaming announced a long-term supply agreement and published Arctic Valor, a six-reel machine with 4,096 ways to win and the first title designed exclusively for its network. Queen Of The Crystal Rays followed in August 2019, then The Incredible Balloon Machine on 28 January 2020. By October 2020, the studio counted two online releases for 2019 and seven for 2020.

The move to Games Global

When Microgaming sold its distribution business in 2022, the Isle of Man distributor that welcomed All About The Bass in April 2024 kept the network's exclusive studios, Crazy Tooth Studio included. The Games Global press release of 2 April 2024 presents it that way, alongside SpinPlay Games and Switch Studios, for the release of All About The Bass on 4 April. The Reno studio therefore sits next to a Canadian workshop from the same distribution network and a North American neighbour attached to the Isle of Man network, which puts its machines in the same lobbies as the Masks of Fire or Immortal Romance series.

The in-house mechanics

This is where Crazy Tooth Studio stands out. In October 2020, the studio claimed around fifty exclusive features across its whole portfolio. Almost all of them are registered as trademarks, which makes the inventory easier.

Checked on 16/10/2026 against the Ursa Major Media trademark register.

BIG BuildUp: the studio's signature

The best-known mechanic remains BIG BuildUp. The principle: symbols accumulate spin after spin and inflate a counter until a massive trigger. It made the studio's reputation with 777 Super BIG BuildUp Deluxe, released on the Microgaming network in 2020 and since extended into a Double Deluxe version. Fire Gnomes, announced in 2024, pushes it much further according to Will Burrows himself.

Grids that look like nothing else

Halo Reels spins concentric rings around a centre, backed by a 2016 patent. Team-Up Reels merges two reels into one. Arctic Valor played on 4,096 ways long before the trend reached every catalogue, in the spirit of what the Australian pioneer of variable-ways grids had popularised with its Megaways. I am not saying everything works. Some of these ideas are gimmicks. But in an industry where nine new releases out of ten recycle the same "Hold and Win", a studio that refuses to ship a machine without a new idea deserves a closer look.

The Crazy Tooth Studio collection in 2026

As of 16/10/2026, the Games page on the official site lists 64 titles: 38 online machines, 15 land-based machines and 11 older creations grouped under "More From CTS". Two teasers announce Lucky Clucks 4 and Money Badgers. It is a modest-sized portfolio. It will stay that way, since the studio releases a few machines a year, not a few dozen.

Recent releases

Data read from the official game sheets on 16/10/2026. Maximum wins are calculated by the studio over a simulation of ten billion games.

The case of Dungeons & Dragons Reel Quest deserves one more line. A licence of this scale, with its four heroes (dwarf wizard, tiefling rogue, elf cleric, dragonborn fighter) and its 125 lines, is not obtained without a distributor able to guarantee worldwide reach. It is the kind of project that signals a small studio has moved up a category.

The main families of titles

The portfolio reads by series. The 777 games (Mega Deluxe, Super BIG BuildUp, Rainbow Re-Spins, Smash) revisit the symbols of the gaming floor, which earns the studio a place among the workshops bringing the triple 7 back into fashion on screen. The Lucky Clucks series, whose first instalment has been live since 11 November 2020, is the house's comedy franchise, with hens sent into space in the third episode. Fishing, finally, with All About The Bass and its sequel Froggy Style, on a niche where the Durban studio that launched Bass Cash 1000 in August 2026 has held the ground for years within the same network.

Does Crazy Tooth Studio hold its own gaming licence?

No, not to my knowledge. I searched the public register of the UK Gambling Commission on 16/10/2026: no company answers to the name of Crazy Tooth or Ursa Major Media. The studio's machines reach regulated markets through the licence of its distributor, Games Global Limited, holder of UKGC account 58841, and through the approvals that network holds elsewhere. This arrangement is standard for the exclusive studios of the Isle of Man network.

For you, this changes nothing about the safety of play. Every machine goes through the certification laboratories required by the casino's jurisdiction, and it is the operator, not the studio, that carries the regulatory responsibility. The CASINO filter only retains licensed operators, precisely for that reason.

Why is there no demo on this page?

The official site offers no demo launcher. You will find trailers, technical sheets and a link to the marketing visuals, but no play-money game. I only publish official demos, never copies hosted elsewhere. If you want to get some free practice before choosing a casino, the free games hosted by other providers remain open, and the section of demo reels offered by competing workshops is not short of choice.

INCISOR: the in-house technical platform

The site points to a second activity, INCISOR, a trademark filed by Ursa Major Media on 3 December 2020 and presented on incisordev.com. It is a JavaScript or TypeScript development environment that produces a single codebase for any terminal, from the casino cabinet to the phone. Its slogan, Build It Once, sums up the idea. Before it, the studio spoke of Arsenal, an in-house framework developed over a decade or so to make mathematicians, artists and engineers work together without depending on a third-party engine.

This double role, provider and tool maker, explains the studio's regularity. A workshop of this size that keeps up a release every two months in 2026 does not owe it to chance.

Where does it sit in the American landscape?

Nevada is home to a handful of studios that have moved to online play, and Crazy Tooth Studio naturally compares with another Nevada workshop that went from land-based to online, that one in Las Vegas, or with the Nevada workshop set up by Bragg in 2023. The difference lies in the model: where those competitors are backed by a listed group, Crazy Tooth Studio remains independent and owned by its founders, with a distribution exclusivity as its safety net.

Other houses in the region have fared less well, and I am thinking of this Las Vegas house that dropped off the radar, whose games are no longer accessible. The comparison with a cabinet manufacturer that shares the same dual land-based and digital culture is more flattering: the same floor DNA, the same attachment to physical machines, and online versions that keep their spirit.

Within the Games Global network, the studio also rubs shoulders with independents from other continents, such as this Estonian workshop recruited by the same network or this other Australian independent on the same roster. All these studios share the same logic: the distributor brings the licence, the certification and the operators; the studio brings the idea.

My verdict on Crazy Tooth Studio

I like this studio for a reason that has nothing to do with marketing: it takes risks. Halo Reels, Coinverge, see-through reels, the pinball of 3 Devils Pinball, all of it could flop commercially, and sometimes it does. But the player who is bored in front of the hundredth copy of a "Hold and Win" will find something here to wake them up.

Now the reservations. Maximum wins remain modest, between 2,900x and 5,900x on the last three releases, far from the five-figure promises that sell elsewhere. The RTPs hover around 96%, correct but no more, and operators can offer lower versions. The collection is small, and you will not find a progressive jackpot. Finally, the absence of an official demo is a real gap for a studio that bets precisely on mechanics you need to see to understand.

A Reno studio, independent, inventive, a little stubborn. If that is what you are looking for, the CASINO button at the top of this page will tell you where to play legally.
