How No-Code Development is Shaking Up the Online Slots Space

Comparasino speaks to Mykhailo Davydov, Founder of Spinorium, to learn how the company’s innovative no-code platform is helping studios be more experimental while developing games faster.

When you fire up the reels on your favourite online slot games, you’re not likely to think about the technologies used to create the thrilling gameplay you enjoy so much. 

But to produce captivating slot games, studios must leverage the latest technologies and solutions so they can push boundaries and bring new and exciting mechanics to market. 

One such company is Spinorium. This is a no-code platform that allows studios to design and develop slot games, especially mechanics, faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.

This means studios can get more experimental and bring even more thrilling content to the market, and what’s not to like about that? 

To learn more about no-code development and how Spinorium is driving a quiet revolution in the way slot games are made, we spoke to Founder Mykhailo Davydov.  

Tell us more about Spinorium and what you do. What role do you play in the wider online casino ecosystem?

Spinorium is a no-code builder designed for slot providers who want to move faster, scale smarter and create slots without technical boundaries. It’s not just another tool; it’s a complete technology that drastically changes front-end development while positively impacting prototyping and testing.

With Spinorium, studios can design and assemble new game mechanics, adjust animations and sound, and optimise performance all in one place without writing a single line of code.

In a market where time-to-market and quality are crucial, Spinorium gives providers a clear competitive edge to:

• – Prototype faster and more effectively
• – Deliver better quality
• – Make games that are fully optimised
• – Save up to 19% on the cost price of each game
• – Accelerate new slot production by up to 50%

Spinorium also plays the role of an infrastructure enabler in the online casino ecosystem, as we support integrations with dozens of online casino operators.

Whether the studio is a growing startup aiming to publish 10+ games a year or an enterprise-level provider looking to optimise production costs, Spinorium is there to make it easier and faster. 

So, for players, this means more exciting, high-quality games hitting the market, and hitting sooner.

It seems like studios currently encounter “blockers” when it comes to designing, developing and launching online slot games.

You wouldn’t believe how accurate you are in saying that. There are five main inhibitors of new high-quality games reaching the market:

• – Lack of creativity
• – Regulations
• – Technical limitations
• – High cost of developing new mechanics
• – Slow speed of development

Spinorium helps studios clear the last three hurdles, and we have plans to assist with the first two as well. 

Ultimately, we help small studios compete with medium-sized developers, and for medium-sized developers to take on the whales of the industry. And this, in turn, means more great games hitting online casino game lobbies at a faster speed than ever before. 

Do you develop games yourselves, or do other studios use your technology?

We don’t develop our own slot games — our mission is to empower other studios with our revolutionary technology to allow them to shine. Games built with Spinorium are already making it to the top of the casino charts and are being shortlisted for industry awards. And the most exciting part? They’re incredibly diverse. Some are bold and brave slots with gritty mechanics. Others are delicate visual stories with playful, cartoon-style animations. 

Spinorium’s creative editor supports everything from classic mechanics to truly unconventional ideas. For example, Gaming Corps has used Spinomenal to develop “Gates of Hellfire” and “Hyena Heist A-MAZE-CADES”, both of which have made waves for their unique mechanics and bold visual direction.

Another partner even tripled their annual game output after using Spinorium — a change that didn’t go unnoticed by their loyal player base, who now enjoy a steady stream of fresh, high-quality games.

Why is no-code slot game development so revolutionary?

Before we answer the question, let’s first align on what revolution is. We describe revolution as having five key aspects:

• Sudden — happens quickly and often unexpectedly.
• Deep change — transforms the core of a system, not just the surface.
• Irreversible — hard or impossible to return to the previous state.
• Widespread impact — affects large groups, structures or systems.
• Chain reaction — leads to further changes in other areas.
  

And Spinorium is all five of these!

It was born quickly, implemented at pace and rapidly scales. Its core shift from code to no-code drastically and positively transforms the system from a tech and a team perspective. Once a studio starts with Spinorium, they don’t want to change or stop using it (they honestly look for ways to use it more), and this gives us confidence in our belief that no-code and AI are the future of online slot development.  

How does it differ from traditional slot development?

Let’s consider the three key parts of development – prototyping, front-end development and testing.

With the traditional development process, there is a big chain of communication between the game designer and those responsible for the math, back-end and front-end just to see if the idea for a new mechanic is viable. But with our no-code editor, game developers can play around with the mechanic directly, removing the long communication chain and freeing them up to implement new ideas and get feedback right away.

Development through code takes a lot of time, but with no-code, game assembly literally takes half the time. And because Spinorium offers automated testing, games created with it work as they should 99,9% of the time, which means quality assurance engineers spend less time on testing and FE-related defects.

Is there a trade-off between speed and quality of development? How do you ensure both?

Speed without quality is useless. That’s why Spinorium has been built with quality baked in.
We have technically excellent automated testing coverage and performance optimisation layers while supporting multiple resolution targets right out of the box. Our partners can build feature-rich games that still weigh under 20MB — even with vivid animations and effects.
This ensures smooth performance on both high-end and low-end devices and faster loading speed.

For players, that means quicker access to games, seamless gameplay even on older phones, and a better overall experience — no delays, no frustration. Studios aren’t forced to compromise — they simply build more, innovate faster, and deliver great experiences to their players without delays.

How does no-code development ultimately benefit online casino and slot players?

Players get to see and experience fresh ideas, unexpected themes and non-standard mechanics. How? Because Spinorium gives studios the freedom to experiment, to take creative risks without the fear of wasting months of development time and resources. For players, that means slot games stop feeling like “the same thing in a new wrapper”.

They also benefit on the technical side: our games are tested across dozens of real devices, not just in simulators, which means better stability across the board. Online casinos that partner with studios that use Spinorium benefit from receiving more engaging games faster, and this allows them to attract and retain more players to their brand.

Can players in the UK experience games developed via Spinorium? If so, which one should they try?

Yes, absolutely. We’re already working with studios that publish their games through well-known providers that are present in the UK market. One standout example is Gates of Hellfire, a fiery, fast-paced slot with dynamic reels and multi-level bonus mechanics, built by Gaming Corps using Spinorium. It’s a great showcase of what Spinorium-powered games can look and feel like. If you enjoy slots with personality and unconventional bonus structures, this one’s definitely worth a spin.

What can we expect from Spinorium over the coming months?

Spinorium never stands still. We’re continuously expanding our capabilities to meet the growing needs of modern slot studios.

Here’s a look at what’s coming soon:

• Remote Mobile Device Testing — so studios can test their games on real mobile devices remotely, ensuring smooth performance and full cross-platform compatibility.
• Art Filters Support — lets creators enhance the visual style of their games instantly with artistic effects and custom filters.
• Lazy Resource Loading — this feature loads only the essential assets first, while the rest load in the background, so no delays for players.
• Built-in UI Manager — a flexible, customisable interface system that speeds up UI development for new studios and helps others migrate from legacy setups with ease.
• AI-powered prototyping — build a fully playable slot draft in under one minute.

And perhaps most exciting of all, two promising new startup studios will be using the no-code builder Spinorium in the next three months, which means players can expect even more fresh, creative, and unexpected slot experiences to hit the market very soon.
