Spearhead Studios is the game development arm of multi-product gambling software provider EveryMatrix. The studio was launched last fall and comprises a team of industry experts.

Its portfolio includes 20 gaming titles, including 18 slots and two table games. Spearhead debuted its first table game – European Roulette – this past March.
