Expanse Studios is the creative core of $Meridian Hldg(MRDN)$
This segment focuses on building online casino games.
In Q2 2026, Expanse continued to grow its global presence.
Its games are now available on 1,881 different operator sites, which is 362 more than at the end of last quarter.
The studio launched 18 new proprietary games this quarter, bringing its total collection of titles to 95.
Additionally:
- The number of players grew by 67%
- Revenue grew by 138%
- Pay-ins grew by 143%
- Gross gaming revenues grew by 90%
It is clear that this segment is delivering explosive growth.
Furthermore, one of the most important moves this quarter was a new partnership with Bragg, a leading distributor in North America, and a deal with Flutter’s Serbian subsidiary Max Bet. This deal allows Expanse’s games to be offered to millions of new players in the Americas, where online gaming is just starting to take off, and in Serbia.
To sell games in new regions, a studio must have its software tested and certified by the local government.
Expanse has been very successful in getting these stamps of approval.
During Q2, the studio secured new certifications in:
- Latvia
- Colombia
- Portugal
- Slovenia
Furthermore, it is also waiting for certification in Ontario, Canada, and New Jersey, US, which are some of the biggest gaming markets in the world.
This business is very scalable, as by obtaining these certificates, Expanse can grow its revenue with limited capital investment.
Once scaled, the studio could become a potentially high-margin part of the business.
