Turbo Games is a small, crypto-focused instant-games studio registered in Tallinn and licensed in Curacao. It is the studio behind Crash X and a much-copied game called Mines, and despite the niche size it turns up across a long list of crypto casinos through aggregator deals.

Turbo Games is a Curacao-licensed studio with roughly 30 to 40 instant and crash titles, owned through the Yolo Group ecosystem. Its flagship is Crash X, and its most copied game is Mines, which carries the lowest RTP of any major Mines version. It is an offshore, second-tier challenger, not a regulated-market name, and it is frequently confused with a different studio’s game called Turbo Mines.
🏢 Who Turbo Games is
Turbo Games is the brand name of TurboDev OU, a company on the Estonian business register under code 16488251, registered in Tallinn on 26 April 2022 with share capital of 40,000 euros. Its sole board member is Viacheslav Zhuk, a Ukrainian national who acts as the studio’s founder and adviser. The registered office is in central Tallinn, with development and operations reportedly run out of Kyiv and an additional presence in Cyprus.
There is a small wrinkle in the founding story worth getting right. The brand presents itself as founded in 2020, with its first game, Crash X, debuting in March 2021. The legal entity, though, was only incorporated in April 2022. The honest framing is that 2020 is the brand origin and April 2022 is the formal incorporation date, so do not treat either on its own as the whole picture.
Turbo Games is also not a standalone operation. It is the games studio inside the Turbo Stars group, alongside products like Turbo Platform, Turbo Sportsbook and the T-Hub aggregator, and from December 2022 Turbo Stars became the exclusive distributor of Turbo Games content. Day to day the studio is led by Slava Zhuk as founder, Vadim Potapenko as Head of Sales and Denis Didenko as Chief Business Development Officer, with Alex Kozachenko heading the wider Turbo Stars group. PitchBook estimates around 17 staff for the studio specifically, a figure that may be out of date.
🔍 The ownership trail
Turbo Games is owned, through a UK holding company, by Tim Heath of the Yolo Group. The Estonian register lets you follow the chain step by step, from the Tallinn studio up to one of iGaming’s better-known investors.
The studio: TurboDev OU
The Estonian entity that trades as Turbo Games, registry code 16488251, with Slava Zhuk as sole board member.
The holding company: Turbo global Ltd
The register records TurboDev OU as 100% owned by Turbo global Ltd, a UK company under registry GB122316.
The beneficial owner: Tim Heath
The declared beneficial owner, recorded in April 2026, is Timothy John Heath, founder of the Yolo Group. Yolo Investments is the listed investor, though the deal terms are undisclosed.
The takeaway is straightforward: Turbo Games is not an independent indie studio. It sits inside the Yolo Group and Turbo Stars ecosystem, which is part of why a small Tallinn outfit can land distribution across hundreds of casinos.
🎮 The Turbo Games catalogue
Turbo Games runs a catalogue of roughly 30 to 40 titles, with counts varying from 25 to 41 across sources because branded reskins get counted differently. The library grows with near-monthly releases and spans crash, mines, towers, dice, plinko, keno and themed games, all built in HTML5 with crypto and fiat betting. Two titles do the heavy lifting.
Crash X is the flagship and the game that started it all, running at 97% RTP. For its full mechanics and fairness detail, see our dedicated Crash X guide. Mines is the more widely cloned title, and it carries a number worth pausing on: a 95% RTP, which is the lowest of any major Mines version on the market.
📝 For the record: Several Turbo Games titles have operator-configurable RTP, which is why the portfolio range is cited as wide as 93.5% to 99%. The live figure in your casino can sit below the studio default, so always check the in-game info panel rather than relying on a headline number.
⚙️ The Mines name confusion
This is the single most confused point about Turbo Games, so it is worth being blunt: Turbo Games makes a game called Mines, not one called Turbo Mines. Turbo Mines is made by a completely different studio. The word “Turbo” appearing in both contexts is a coincidence of branding, and the two games come from two separate companies with very different regulatory standing.
📖 Two different games, two different studios
“Mines” is the Turbo Games title. “Turbo Mines” is a Galaxsys title. Galaxsys is a separate studio based in Yerevan, Armenia, operating under the Digitain group. If you are searching for one and land on the other, this is why.
The licensing row is the part that matters most for a player. Galaxsys supplies Turbo Mines through a Malta-licensed route and additionally holds a UK Gambling Commission account, which is a materially stronger regulatory profile than Turbo Games’ offshore-only position. The games are not interchangeable on trust grounds. Our Mines guide covers the full cross-studio picture and how the RTPs and verification compare.
🛡️ Provably fair, or marketing umbrella?
Turbo Games markets all of its titles as 100% provably fair, using the standard server-seed-plus-client-seed hashing approach. The games are also RNG-certified, with certificates from iTech Labs in August 2022 and BMM Testlabs in March 2023. So far, so reassuring.
The caveat is that the blanket claim does not appear to hold uniformly across the whole catalogue. Independent crash-game reviewers note that some newer titles seem to run on certified RNG without exposing a publicly verifiable per-round hash. The practical reading is to treat “provably fair” as a marketing umbrella across the brand, and the lab certification as the verifiable compliance layer you can actually rely on.
🔍 Worth noting
A studio-wide “100% provably fair” badge is not the same as being able to verify a specific round yourself. Where a title does not expose a per-round hash, you are relying on the RNG certificate, not on cryptographic verification. If verification matters to you, check whether the individual game offers a hash to confirm, rather than trusting the brand-level claim.

📊 Licensing and regulation
Turbo Games holds a Curacao licence and nothing more. There is no Malta licence and no UK Gambling Commission licence, so the studio reaches regulated markets only indirectly, through the integrations of its aggregator partners rather than through its own regulated credentials. The footer of the official site cites the licensing entity TURBODEV OU under licence number L2244237Y001615, valid from August 2024 to July 2034.
On the testing side, the RNG carries certificates from iTech Labs and BMM Testlabs. No regulatory sanctions, warnings or enforcement actions were found against Turbo Games or TurboDev OU, and the Estonian register shows only routine, since-cleared administrative items typical of a small company. The honest summary is a clean record paired with a thin licensing base.
⚠️ Important
A Curacao-only licence offers weaker player protection and dispute recourse than a Malta or UK licence. Combined with operator-configurable RTPs and a Mines title running below the rest of the field, Turbo Games is a studio where the numbers can quietly work harder against you than at a regulated-market name.
📈 Market position
Turbo Games is a second-tier, emerging crash provider, and the profile is honest about that. It does not belong in the same conversation as SmartSoft Gaming, Spribe or Pragmatic Play on brand recognition or regulated-market depth. What it competes on instead is volume of niche titles and crypto-casino distribution, a profile tailored to crypto and offshore casinos rather than tier-one regulated operators.
Its reach comes through aggregators rather than its own licences: SOFTSWISS, Slotegrator, Hub88, SoftGamings, GR8 Tech and others, plus its own Turbo Stars and T-Hub channels. Named casino partners include Sportsbet.io, Bitcasino.io, Cbet.gg, Cosmolot, LottoStar, Bluechip, Wild.io and Wolfbet, with a regulated Brazil entry via Kaizen Gaming. The studio’s Head of Sales has claimed the games are live on more than 500 platforms, which is unverified, while SlotCatalog scans place Turbo Games titles across more than 200 casinos.
Fast, crypto-first instant games concentrated on offshore platforms carry a particular harm profile. Our guide on the evidence, the risk factors and the regulatory response is here: crash gambling and player harm.
The bottom line on Turbo Games is that it is a competent, prolific instant-games studio with real distribution muscle behind it from the Yolo ecosystem, but a thin regulatory base and a habit of operator-configurable RTPs. Know what you are playing: its Crash X is a standard 97% crash game, its Mines runs at a below-average 95%, and it is a different company entirely from the studio behind Turbo Mines.
