The studio behind Crypto Crown 40
Want the numbers behind the studio's work? The Crypto Crown 40 RTP analysis breaks down the return and volatility.
Company History
AvatarUX put its first game on the Yggdrasil network in 2019 and built its reputation on inventing reel mechanics rather than themes. PopWins arrived in 2020 with CherryPop and got imitated across the industry; StickyPop, MultiPop, ZapReel and Infinity Stacks followed. Awards followed too — Game Mechanic of the Year at the 2023 CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards, Slot Game Developer of the Year at SlotsWise in 2024.
Set that against Crypto Crown 40, which uses none of it. No PopWins, no splitting symbols, no cascading grid. Expanding Wilds, a pair of Scatters and a pick-me jackpot board — mechanics that would have looked familiar twenty years ago, wrapped in neon and techno.
The Crypto Crown line is a series in the loosest sense: the same design shipped at 10, 20 and 40 lines with the stats adjusted. This is the widest of them, running 40 lines across a 5×4 grid where the entry version uses 5×3. The company trades as Epic88 Limited and Epic88 Malta Limited, holding a Swedish B2B licence from 2023 plus a Romanian Class 2 licence and an MGA Recognition Notice issued in 2025.
What They Do Best
Proprietary Reel Mechanics
PopWins, StickyPop, MultiPop, ZapReel and Infinity Stacks were all built in-house at AvatarUX and licensed out to other studios. It is what the company is known for — which makes a deliberately plain title like Crypto Crown 40 the odd one out in the catalogue.
The Crypto Crown Format
One design, several frames. The 18-space jackpot board with upgrade picks and bombs is common to every version, and in each of them it carries the entire top end of the payout model while the reels handle the small change.

Fairness & Licensing
AvatarUX operates as Epic88 Limited under a Swedish B2B licence granted by Spelinspektionen in June 2023, and as Epic88 Malta Limited under a Romanian Class 2 licence and an MGA Recognition Notice, both issued in 2025. Crypto Crown 40 runs the same certified RNG in demo and cash play — with the caveat that 96.00% is the default build and reduced configurations are available to operators.
Why Crypto Crown 40?
Crypto Crown 40 is the widest cut of the Crypto Crown design: forty lines on four rows, which means an expanded Wild column reaches further and the base game goes quiet less often than in the ten-line build. The ceiling is identical either way — 5,000x, sitting in the Grand Jackpot. What you are choosing between is how busy you want the reels while you wait for the board.
