Pragmatic Play was founded in 2015. They have since grown to become a world leader in their field, developing a huge portfolio of online casino games that covers online slots, live dealer, RNG table games, virtual sports and bingo. Their games are available in over 40 regulated jurisdictions – including the UK of course – and in 33 different languages.
They are also one of the most prolific slot providers today. We regularly cover 5 or more of their new slot game releases each month.
Varied and Exciting Game Catalogue
Browsing our list of Pragmatic Play slots you will quickly notice that they cover a vast array of game formats. In particular, they are known for their Scatter Pays slots like Sweet Bonanza 1000, Cluster Pays slots like Fire Portals, and Megaways slots like Pompeii Megareels Megaways. Pragmatic have even trademarked their own Hold and Win mechanic, called Hold and Spin™, found in slots like Hot To Burn Hold and Spin.
You will also find all sorts of themes in Pragmatic’s list including Ancient Greece in Gates of Olympus 1000, Magic in Magician’s Secret, and Irish luck in Clover Gold.
But perhaps what this studio is most famous for is its exciting game series that includes the massively popular Big Bass Bonanza, John Hunter explorer, Sweet Bonanza and The Doghouse games. Every slot in these series uses familiar brands and characters whilst extending the storylines and varying the gameplay enough to make them a compelling prospect to keep coming back to.

Daily live leaderboard tournaments are running 24/7 with prize pools of £10,000s and there are even random prize drops of £100s and free spins for participating players.
High Volatility Specialists
We estimate that more than half of Pragmatic Play’s games are in the high variance category. That makes them popular amongst those seeking the thrills that come with high risk slots action, where a lot of patience can finally be rewarded with one or two crazy win sequences in a session.
Popular high volatility slots from Pragmatic Play include Spin and Score Megaways and Cash Elevator.
High Win Potential … Sometimes
Pragmatic Play do not consistently build slots with huge max win potential – unlike rivals like Nolimit City or Push Gaming for example – but from time to time they bust out the big guns. Their biggest to date is Peking Luck at 180,000x. Other games with a notably high win potential include Power of Merlin Megaways (40,000x) and Extra Juice (60,000x). You can find a list of Pragmatic Play’s highest max win slots here.
A Note On RTP Rates
Something you will notice if you read through our Pragmatic Play slot reviews is that this studio is one that produces games with more than one RTP setting, leaving it to the casino operator to decide which one to run the game at.
Whilst the optimum RTP settings are usually good – Big Bass Bonanza has a top rate of 96.71% for example – the lower rates, which may even dip below 90%, are to be avoided. Pragmatic Play publish the live RTP rate in the Game Rules pages located via the ‘I’ button under the reels in all their games. So whichever slot sites you play you can always check this number before you spend your money. And if it’s on the low side, we recommend choosing another casino to play at.
