History and positioning
Sources disagree on whether Old Skool Studios was formally founded in 2009, 2010 or 2011, but consistently place the team around Vancouver and trace its casino design work to roughly 2010. The business initially worked on social games and services before placing greater emphasis on real-money slots.
Its catalog later settled into polished, theme-forward video slots. The SlotRanker chronology moves from Jewel Quest Riches in 2017 through Maui Mischief, Ascension Rise to Riches and 6 Rubies of Tribute, with distribution associated with Microgaming and Games Global.

Flagship lines
Ancient-treasure lane
Jewel Quest Riches, Ascension Rise to Riches and 6 Rubies of Tribute make ancient sites and valuable objects the studio’s strongest recurring lane. The shared approach is thematic rather than a formal series.
Character-led escapades
Maui Mischief provides a lighter counterweight to the relic-hunting material. It still uses the studio’s standard five-reel and bonus-led framework, but shifts the emphasis toward a playful island setting.
Mechanics and product systems
- Five reels: the common grid foundation across all four cataloged games.
- Free spins: the main bonus structure in three titles.
- Wild and scatter symbols: familiar trigger and substitution roles used throughout most of the selection.
- Fixed paylines: 25-line arrangements appear in half of the catalog.
Market influence
Old Skool Studios sits in the partner-studio tier of the market: smaller than a full-scale supplier, but able to reach established casino networks through Microgaming and later Games Global distribution. Its identity comes from authored themes and polished presentation rather than proprietary mechanics or a dense release schedule.
