Hölle Games: German-market slots and the hinterzimmer RGS
Hölle Games is a Berlin slots studio built for the German regulated market. It also runs hinterzimmer, its own remote gaming server, which distributes third-party studios as well as its own titles.
The studio
Who Hölle Games are
The legal entity is Hölle Games GmbH, German commercial register number HRB 221148, with a Berlin correspondence address. The managing director is Robert Lenzhofer, confirmed both on the company’s own site and through trade interviews.
The product is video slots, and the positioning is explicitly German: made-in-Germany design, built around the stake and tax constraints of the German regime rather than retrofitted to them. That focus explains a lot about the catalogue — short, classic-leaning titles with bell and fruit themes rather than the feature-heavy releases aimed at Curacao markets.
The second half of the business is hinterzimmer, the studio’s own remote gaming server and back-office platform. It distributes Hölle’s titles and also onboards third-party studios — Apparat Gaming among them. That makes Hölle Games both a studio and, on a small scale, an aggregator.
One point worth noting for anyone cross-referencing suppliers: Robert Lenzhofer was also a named principal of Glück Games in the 2018 merger that created G.Games. Hölle Games is a separate company founded afterwards, not a rebrand of that one.

The games
Hölle Games titles
Bells, fruits and fairy tales, with a German pun running through the branding — Hölle means hell, and the catalogue leans into it.

| Bells / Bells 10 / Bells XL | 23 March 2021 | Companion bell-themed line from the same launch batch |
| Ring the Wild Bell / Ring the Wild Bell XL | 23 March 2021 | Classic bell machine with an expanding wild |

| Holla die Waldfee | — | Fairy-tale themed slot using a hold-and-win bonus |
| Frau Holle | — | German folklore theme, the studio’s best-known title name |
| Himmel & Hölle | — | “Heaven and Hell” — the brand pun made into a game |

Release dates shown are aggregator-tracked rather than company press releases, and we have omitted dates where trackers list future or unconfirmed entries. RTP and max-win figures circulate widely for these titles with no traceable source and are not repeated here.
What makes it different
What makes this studio specific
A studio built around one regulated market, plus a platform business most studios this size do not have.
Built for the German regime
Germany caps stakes, imposes a spin duration and taxes turnover. Most studios adapt existing games to that; Hölle designs for it from the start, which is why the catalogue is short-form and classic rather than feature-stacked. For a German-facing operator that is the whole argument.
The Bonus Spin feature
A feature engineered specifically to work within German stake and tax rules, later made available beyond the studio’s own titles. The name is generic enough that we would not call it trademarked, but the compliance thinking behind it is real and specific.
hinterzimmer
The studio’s own RGS and back-office platform, distributing its titles and onboarding third-party studios such as Apparat Gaming. It is not a separate company — same entity, same managing director — despite partners sometimes referring to it as though it were.
Slots only
No live casino, no betting games, no bingo, no fishing. Anything describing Hölle Games as a multi-vertical supplier is describing something else.
Where it runs
Markets and licensing
The company publishes MGA/B2B/873/2021, issued 8 July 2021, as a Type 1 critical gaming supply licence. That number comes from Hölle’s own site; confirm it is current on the MGA register before you rely on it.
The core market is Germany, with expansion into the Netherlands from October 2025. Further claims of Swedish authority licensing, ISO 27001 and testing-house certifications come from a distributor page rather than from the registries, and we present them as such.
A distributor also claims reach into Eastern Europe and Central Asia. That is single-sourced and not corroborated elsewhere.

Hölle Games’ own remote gaming server and back-office platform. It distributes the studio’s titles and also onboards third-party studios such as Apparat Gaming. It is part of the same company, not a separate business.
Sources disagree — some say 2020, others 2021 — and neither is a registry filing. We would rather say the founding year is reported as 2020 to 2021 than pick one and present it as fact.
No. The output is video slots only.
Because they are designed for the German regulated market, which caps stakes, enforces spin duration and taxes turnover. Feature-heavy designs do not work economically under those rules, so the studio builds short-form classic slots instead.
