Pragmatic Play

Pragmatic Play is the studio you meet at almost every Australian-facing casino, usually inside the first row of lobby tiles, and its release schedule moves faster than any competitor on this list.

18+ Gambling can be addictive. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 no operator is licensed in Australia to offer online casino games, so every site listed here is based offshore and you carry the risk yourself. Strictly 18+. You can block yourself from licensed wagering through BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register. Free, confidential help around the clock: Gambling Help Online, 1800 858 858.

The house style

High volatility across most of its catalogue, tumbling reels on a large share of its newer titles, and an RTP that publishes in a band — often 92% to 96.5% — rather than one fixed figure, since casinos can select which configuration to host within that range.

Where it turns up

Gates of Olympus is its most searched title in this market by a wide margin, broken down separately in Gates of Olympus. Its live-dealer product and drop-and-wins style promotions also feature heavily in casino welcome offers, covered generally in welcome bonuses.

Checking the actual RTP

Because the published figure is a range, the specific configuration in play at any casino is only visible in the game’s own info screen — the same check covered generally in how pokie paylines work.

About the author: Dale Whitmore

I spent three years on the other side of the counter, running a pub gaming room in the Hunter, before I started writing about online casinos. I open the account, deposit my own money, ask for the payout and write down how long it actually takes. That is the whole method.
