If you’ve ever started a Hold and Win session intending to play three spins and looked up twenty minutes later, 3 Oaks Gaming is probably why. The studio has built its catalogue around fast, coin-collect formats that are easy to pick up and genuinely hard to put down. Coin Volcano is the flagship series — try the demos below and see how quickly the respins stack up.
3 Oaks Gaming was established in 2021 in the Isle of Man, though its history runs deeper than that. The studio emerged from a split of Booongo, an iGaming developer founded in 2015, with 3 Oaks taking the regulated market-facing side of the business under new branding. Under managing director Sebastian Demian, who brought experience from Playson, EveryMatrix, and Bede Gaming, the studio built rapidly — releasing over 80 titles within a few years and reaching 4 million active players by the end of 2022. The company holds licences from the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority, and is RNG-certified by Gaming Associates Europe.
Hold and Win is the engine that drives most of the catalogue. The format runs through the Sun of Egypt series, the Aztec Fire games, and most prominently the Coin Volcano franchise, which launched in 2023 and has since expanded to Coin Volcano 2, 3 Coin Volcanoes, and 3 Super Coin Volcanoes. The core loop is consistent across all of them: coins land on the grid, sticky symbols hold through a respin sequence, jackpot tiers build from Mini through to Major, and volcano multipliers add a variable to the payout ceiling. It’s a format designed around short, high-frequency decision points, which is exactly what makes it as absorbing as it is. In 2022, 3 Oaks also signed a Megaways licence with Big Time Gaming, bringing variable-reel formats to several titles including Aztec Pyramid Megaways and Buddha Megaways.
Beyond the Hold and Win core, the catalogue spans Egyptian-themed slots in the Sun of Egypt series, Asian-influenced games like 15 Dragon Pearls and Dragon Wealth, and a range of fruit and classic formats. The studio releases two to three new games per month and was shortlisted for Game Studio of the Year at the SBC Awards in 2025, reflecting how quickly it has moved from emerging name to established presence.
