What Play'n GO makes
Play'n GO makes online slots, plus some table games and land-based content. Its site lists more than 400 titles and says it supplies operators in more than 30 jurisdictions. Its games are grouped into series: the Wilde series (Rich Wilde adventures), Reactoonz, Rise of Olympus, Sweet Alchemy, Legion Gold and others.
Notable games
- Book of Dead. Rich Wilde explores ancient Egypt. Three scatters award 10 bonus spins. Before they start, one symbol is chosen at random as a special expanding symbol. When it lands and can make an extra win, it expands to fill its whole reel, and it pays on any active payline even if the reels are not next to each other. (game page)
- Legacy of Dead (2020). A similar expanding-symbol bonus with a different Egyptian story. Scatters can land during the bonus spins and retrigger them. (game page)
- Reactoonz 100. A cluster pays grid game. Clusters of five or more symbols win and cascade. Wins charge Quantum meters, which trigger features that add wilds or remove symbols. Fill all five meters and a giant wild called Gargantoon appears. (game page)
- Rise of Olympus. A series of grid slots that includes Rise of Olympus 1000, Rise of Olympus Extreme and Rise of Olympus Origins. In Rise of Olympus 1000, symbols tumble after wins and the gods can drop their crests. (series page)
- Moon Princess. A 5x5 grid game. You win by lining up three or more matching symbols horizontally or vertically. A multiplier grows with each cascade, and clearing all 25 symbols triggers the bonus spins. (game page)
Expanding-symbol bonuses can pay well, but the bonus round is not triggered often, and many sessions end without one. Our RTP and volatility guide explains why.
RTP versions
Play'n GO's game pages do not list RTPs, and its FAQ does not say whether its games come in several versions. RTP is set by the version a casino installs, not by how you play. Check the game's information screen at your casino, which shows the RTP of that version, before you play.
Where Play'n GO's games appear
Play'n GO's licence page lists a supplier licence or approval for each market below.
- Great Britain: UK casinos
- Ontario: Ontario casinos
- Alberta: Alberta casinos
- New Jersey: New Jersey casinos
- Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania casinos
- Michigan: Michigan casinos
A licence means the studio can supply that market. It does not mean every casino there carries its games. In September 2026, Play'n GO announced that its games had gone live with an online casino in West Virginia, with launches with the same partner planned in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
For comparable studios, see Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and Push Gaming. All studios are listed on our providers page.

Gambling is entertainment that costs money, not a way to make it. Decide your budget before you start, use the deposit limits every licensed site offers, and stop when it stops being fun.
