Backseat Gaming

Backseat Gaming only arrived in 2023, out of Malta. It originally started out alongside Hacksaw Gaming, but today it runs on its own custom-built platform and, by its own account, drops a new game every single week. Look through the catalogue and you’ll quickly notice a soft spot for the Bonanza name, with titles like Barrel Bonanza, Pirate Bonanza and Totem Tower Bonanza.

Play a few of the recent releases and a clear recipe shows. The favourite board is a square 5×5 grid, and every game comes with free spins and multipliers, plus a bonus buy and an ante bet. Interestingly, while a few games use scatter pays, most of them still stick to traditional paylines. Wilds are the real stars here: expect a lot of expanding wilds, with sticky wilds on a good share of the rest.

Strap in, because Backseat’s math pulls no punches. These games are very volatile, and the max win never drops below 10,000x your stake. If you really want to swing for the fences, Hades Domain and Born in Hell push that up to 15,000x.

A detail that matters: every recent Backseat game sits at exactly 96.01% RTP (Return to Player). Because the return never changes, choosing a game comes down to theme, features and volatility.
