We all know that playing online slots can be rewarding, fun, and relaxing. This is why they are the most popular type of online casino game. While only seven US states have legalized online casino gambling for real money, other countries and jurisdictions have been more pragmatic.
The UK, for example, holds that if people are going to gamble online, they should be able to do so safely wherever they reside in the country. The UK Gambling Commission recently introduced slot stake limits, and other countries have put in place guardrails against advertising rather than access.
It seems that the pragmatic approach pays off. Players are protected but get to follow their interests; companies thrive, creating secure, well-paying jobs; and the state collects valuable tax and license fees. Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported record gaming revenues for 2025, so it will be interesting to see if other US states take a similar approach. However you look at it, slots are big business, and the slot developers are thriving in the current climate. We sat down with Maxime from Slots.info to find out why Pragmatic Play is one of the most exciting developers in 2026.

Hi Maxime, thank you for joining us. We understand that you are the man to go to for all the slots information. Can you tell us why you think Pragmatic Play is so exciting?
Maxime
Well, with a site called Slots.info, you would hope that I know what I am talking about. Trust me, I do. I have been passionate about slots for years and set up a German-specific slots information site in 2009. Since that time, we have seen so many jurisdictions open up their legal markets. Slots.info has global reach and is a portal built by players for players. While working closely with the slots providers, we are entirely independent. This means that we never pander to any of our industry partners. However, Pragmatic Play consistently produces exciting, innovative games, and we rate them very highly.
They are committed to player satisfaction, quality, and innovation, which makes them stand out in the iGaming industry. I am not saying that there are not plenty of other great gaming companies, but they really are hard to beat. And it is not just me saying it, their focus on engaging gameplay and unique features attracts a loyal fan base.

Thanks for that overview. Are you able to be more specific, please?
Maxime
Sure! If you take a closer look at Pragmatic Play casinos on slots.info, you will see the quality and breadth of their games and partnerships. They have over 500 titles in total, and standout games include The Dog House, Sweet Rush Bonanza, Gates of Pyroth, and Zeus vs Typhon. As you can see from those titles alone, they are not stuck in one stylistic slot and have narratives and themes to suit all kinds of players. However, all of those titles have achieved a 5/5 score from us.
Gambling911
Oh, so do you always give Pragmatic Play top scores then?
Maxime
No, not at all. Those are just some examples of the best titles. Like every developer, they do occasionally produce something that is not so hot. While we have a very close working relationship with major licensed software developers like Pragmatic Play, we are not afraid to shout out when a game is less than satisfactory. For example, Sugar Rush only gets a 2.7 from us, but it is unusual for them to get low marks.

Earlier, you said they had unique features that made their games particularly exciting. Can you give us a little more detail on that, please?
Maxime
Of course I can. Pragmatic Play is particularly strong in the free spins rounds, where there are quite a few unique bonus features. Some of the best are as follows:
- 1000
Increased multipliers and winning potentials for certain games.
- Drops and Wins
Adds random prize drops and daily tournaments to slot games.
- Super Scatter
Boosted payouts for scatter symbols. This feature enabled exceptionally rewarding scatter combinations, significantly increasing overall winning potential.
- Connect and Collect
Land special symbols from left to right in a chain to reach the marked positions. Once you reach those positions, you get a prize based on the symbol, including free spins, respins, or wilds.
- Repeat
This feature can randomly retrigger a free spins round, restoring the initial spins and modifiers, but keeps the current winnings.
In addition, they often employ the Megaways system in their games (this was created by Big Time Gaming), so you get really exciting, creative gameplay.

What other innovations make Pragmatic Play stand out from the crowd? What is the latest news from the company?
Maxime
I guess one of the exciting things about them is that they are always releasing new games. They are currently developing up to eight new slot titles each month, as well as providing live casino, bingo, and virtual sports games. While we focus on slots, it is hard to ignore the excitement and potential of live dealer games. They allow players to interact with a real human dealer in real time, which is pretty impressive to say the least.
Live dealer games are growing in popularity thanks to innovative developers and massive advances in everyday technology. We are still waiting for the 'holy grail' of gambling innovation to arrive, which would be live dealer slots. I am not entirely sure how they would function, but I am excited about the idea. Surely, someone must be able to crack the concept! It is just the dream team.
However, while I dream, Pragmatic Play has announced that it has launched its seventh Drops and Wins Season and added a further € 25 million prize pool. Weekly Wheel Drops randomly award players wheel pieces to complete a prize wheel and unlock the chance to win up to 100,000x their bet (up to €100,000). Meanwhile, Daily Tournaments see players climb leaderboards by accumulating win multipliers, with prizes of up to €3,000 on offer. If that isn't exciting, innovative, and engaging, then I don't know what is!
Gambling 911
That all sounds great. Thanks for enlightening us, Maxime! You have got us thinking about those live dealer slots now, but surely that is an impossible concept?
Maxime
It is not so long ago that live-dealer was considered impossible; it could just takes imagination and then time for technology to catch up.
