Pragmatic Play

Pragmatic Play is the studio you cannot avoid. Open almost any online casino and they are on the first screen, because they ship six to eight new slots every single month and have done for years. That volume cuts both ways: the catalogue holds a few of the most played games in the world and a long tail nobody will ever open.

They really found their groove with Sweet Bonanza, which ditched traditional paylines for a pay anywhere system. They took that same formula, added multipliers on top, and gave us Gates of Olympus, and the slot world has not looked back since. A word to the wise: their games are famously volatile, and the return can sit anywhere from 92% to 98% depending on the title. It definitely pays to check the stats before you spin.
