Spielo Studio in Belgrade comprises more than 120 team members. Our passion for game development results in the release of more than 100 slot games per year. Each game starts as a concept provided by a producer. It is then refined and brought to life by our development teams, under the guidance of the product owner and scrum master. The development team, led by a development manager, counts 15 team members devoted per project, working closely with producers, product owners, scrum masters, artists, and QA engineers.
