Crazy Tooth Studio launched in 2011 in Reno, Nevada, founded by Ben Hoffman, who built extensive industry experience while working at International Game Technology (IGT). The studio operates as Ursa Major Media, Inc. d\/b\/a Crazy Tooth Studio \u2014 the corporate legal entity surfacing in regulatory and supplier registrations. Boutique scale matched by the studio’s “Quality Always Wins\u2122” tagline and a quality-over-quantity principle.<\/p>\n
Brand-collision context: Crazy Tooth Studio (the iGaming slot studio at crazytoothstudio.com) is fairly distinctive in iGaming searches \u2014 mild collision with dental references and the “Simpsons character with crazy tooth” generic searches. We pair brand mentions with 2011 Reno Nevada plus Ben Hoffman plus INCISOR plus Big BuildUp throughout this hub.<\/p>\n
Catalogue depth sits at 36 slots per CasinoListings tracking and 30-plus per Slotcatalog database, with active 2024-2026 cadence pushing the count higher. Slots-only specialism \u2014 no table games, no live, no progressives \u2014 distinguishes the studio from broader multi-vertical peers in the cluster.<\/p>\n
Active 2024-2026 cadence anchors at the October 2024 Runaway Rhino launch alongside Tower of Ra (Mega Climb\u2122 Bonus), Fang & Fortune, Lucky Clucks 3: Barnyard Blastoff, Blazin’ Guns (cowboy theme), Candy Elves, 777 Super Big BuildUp II Double Deluxe and over a dozen other 2025-2026 releases. AboutSlots ratings 6.2-7.5 out of 10 = boutique-mid-tier reception.<\/p>\n
The 2011 Reno Nevada founding anchored a US-American boutique slot studio in iGaming-friendly Nevada Gaming Control Board territory. Founder Ben Hoffman brought IGT industry experience to the new studio, named after his dog Choco \u2014 whose distinctive snaggletooth (a “crazy tooth”) inspired both the studio name and the studio’s first slot, Choco Choco\u2122 released in 2011.<\/p>\n
Ursa Major Media, Inc. d\/b\/a Crazy Tooth Studio corporate structure \u2014 the studio operates under Ursa Major Media as the legal entity, with Crazy Tooth Studio as the trading brand. CasinoListings notes the studio “stands out as being one of the first American firms that develops primarily for the online market” \u2014 a counter-cluster positioning given most US slot dev was land-based-first historically.<\/p>\n
Pre-2019 land-based and IGT digital era \u2014 Crazy Tooth Studio developed around fifteen slots for IGT plus about twelve slots for Scientific Games (now Light & Wonder), distributed at land-based casinos worldwide and via IGT digital. The studio’s INCISOR\u2122 proprietary HTML5 framework powered cross-platform delivery from inception, designed for online and social casinos plus land-based.<\/p>\n
The 2019 Microgaming exclusive partnership = pivotal corporate moment. The studio signed a partnership agreement with Microgaming in 2019 and released Arctic Valor as the first Microgaming-exclusive title \u2014 opening online distribution at scale through what became the Games Global network post-2022 brand restructuring.<\/p>\n
Boutique studios in our cluster that share parent-group context include Cayetano Gaming’s Flutter Studios sister via Paddy Power 2011 acquisition (separate from Microgaming)<\/a>, which arrived at a different industry parent group via a parallel acquisition arc.<\/p>\n Arctic Valor (2019) is the studio’s headline online flagship \u2014 the first Microgaming-exclusive release that opened the studio’s online distribution at scale. Slotsjudge frames the partnership clearly: in 2019 Crazy Tooth Studio signed an agreement with Microgaming and began creating games exclusively for the operator. Arctic Valor’s bonus-feature-rich Norse-themed gameplay anchored the launch.<\/p>\n The Big BuildUp\u00ae franchise spans three generations: original 777 Super BIG BuildUp\u2122 Deluxe\u2122 (15,000x max win per AboutSlots, 7.1 out of 10 rating), the sequel 777 Super Big BuildUp\u00ae II: Double Deluxe\u2122 (576 ways + Double Deluxe Feature + Double Deluxe Bonus Spins + persistent growing reels + sticky wilds with duplicator diamond action + RTP 96.22% + max win 6,496x per Gamblizard), plus Candy Elves\u2122 branded as “a sweet Big BuildUp game” extending the franchise visually.<\/p>\n Tower of Ra\u2122 carries the Mega Climb\u2122 Bonus signature mechanic at 96.5% RTP \u2014 Egyptian mythology meets the studio’s proprietary climbing-bonus engine. Fortress Charge\u2122 holds the catalogue’s highest max-win at 16,000x (96.5% RTP per AboutSlots) \u2014 a top-cluster max-win figure. All About The Bass 2: Froggy Style\u2122 follows at 14,744x max-win on the fishing-quirky theme. The trio anchors the studio’s high-volatility big-win positioning.<\/p>\n Recent 2024-2026 cadence runs Runaway Rhino\u2122 (Oct 21 2024 \u2014 63 lines + Runaway Rhino Feature + bonus mode + RTP 96.10% + 11,128x max), Blazin’ Guns\u2122 (cowboy 625 ways + Quickdraw Feature + Vault Feature + 6,729x max + 96.23% RTP), Fang & Fortune\u2122, Lucky Clucks\u00ae 3: Barnyard Blastoff\u2122, A Flight of Fortune\u2122 (Coinverge\u2122), Apollo’s Rings\u2122 and Fire Gnomes 2: Magic Wheel\u2122.<\/p>\n Cross-cluster boutique-tier production polish framing: Concept Gaming’s UK Cardiff 2010 boutique-mid-tier production peer<\/a> sits in the closest cluster lane on similar quality-tier acknowledgment.<\/p>\n The INCISOR\u2122 proprietary HTML5 framework powers the entire catalogue \u2014 described by CasinoListings as the Incisor game development framework that provides a way for developing online games. The product serves as a template that brings together all aspects of a game into one cohesive product, compatible with all game platforms. Cross-platform desktop, mobile and tablet via INCISOR\u2122 from inception.<\/p>\n Mechanical signature runs proprietary trademark-stacked: Big BuildUp\u00ae (persistent growing reels + sticky wilds + duplicator diamond action across the 3-generation 777 Super series) plus Mega Climb\u2122 Bonus (Tower of Ra) plus Coinverge\u2122 (A Flight of Fortune) plus Quickdraw Feature + Vault Feature + Blazin’ Guns Bonus (Blazin’ Guns) plus Prizestream + Angler Bonus (All About The Bass) plus Runaway Rhino Feature.<\/p>\n Distinctive cluster mechanics include 3 Devils Pinball pinball-physics (a feature where pinballs jump through a virtual machine and credits can be won) plus Wrecking Ball smashing-symbols mechanic (a slot with a feature that swings in and smashes symbols into wilds). Slotsjudge’s framing notes near-photorealistic graphics with vibrant colour schemes \u2014 visual quality matched to mechanic depth.<\/p>\n The 36-plus title catalogue spans roughly five distinct theme buckets, with the Big BuildUp\u00ae franchise (3 instalments) and animal\/wildlife adventure the deepest lanes. Slots-only specialism \u2014 the studio doesn’t dilute focus across table games, live or progressive lottery \u2014 the entire catalogue stays in slot territory.<\/p>\n The Big BuildUp\u00ae franchise three-generation depth is cluster-distinctive \u2014 most boutique studios don’t sustain three-instalment franchises with shared mechanic engines. The Choco Choco namesake first slot carries brand-story continuity from 2011 to the current 2024-2026 catalogue.<\/p>\n The catalogue’s RTPs cluster in the 96 to 96.5 percent range per AboutSlots and Gamblizard documentation \u2014 boutique-tier honest math at industry-standard band. Documented per-title figures include Tower of Ra 96.5%, Fortress Charge 96.5%, Lucky Lift 96.3%, Fire Gnomes 96.3%, Blazin’ Guns 96.23%, 777 Super Big BuildUp II 96.22%, All About The Bass 96.17%, Runaway Rhino 96.10%.<\/p>\nArctic Valor, Big BuildUp & Flagship Slot Deep-Dive<\/h2>\n
