Slots Online: The Studios Behind Our Games
Fortune Games does not make its own slots. The more than 1,000 slots in our lobby come from independent studios, and each has a style you can learn to recognise. Knowing the studio behind a game tells you a lot about how it is likely to play. Every studio supplying games to players in Great Britain needs a Gambling Commission licence, and its games are independently tested before they go live.

Studios British players know
Several of these studios started out making games for UK pubs, bookmakers and bingo sites, which is why their slots often feature bonus trails and pick-and-win rounds.
- Blueprint Gaming is behind Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways and Genie Jackpots Megaways, and brings Eye of Horus to UK players.
- Eyecon is the Brisbane studio behind Fluffy Favourites and Irish Luck, two long-time bingo-site staples. The Fluffy games have been around since 2006.
- Inspired Gaming is known from UK betting shops, with games such as Centurion and BARs & 7s.
- Barcrest began with pub fruit machines and is behind Action Bank.
More studios to know
- Hacksaw Gaming builds compact grids with multiplier features. Chaos Crew (2020) was its breakout game, and Hand of Anubis takes the style to Ancient Egypt.
- Nolimit City is known for unusual mechanics, such as the exploding wilds in Fire in the Hole.
- Red Tiger made Cash Volt, a sevens-and-bars slot with oversized Super Symbols.
- Quickspin is known for detailed artwork, as in Big Bad Wolf.
What a studio cannot change
A studio sets a game’s rules, features and RTP options. Many games come in more than one RTP version, so the same game can return a slightly different percentage at different sites; the help screen shows the figure for the version you are playing. Results come from a tested random number generator, no studio’s games can be beaten over time, and the UK rules on stakes and spin speed apply to every game. Games for British players have no autoplay or turbo spins, whichever studio made them.
All values (Bet Levels, Maximum Wins etc.) mentioned in relation to this slot game are subject to change at any time.
Frequently asked questions
Who makes the slots at Fortune Games?
Independent studios, including Pragmatic Play, Blueprint Gaming, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Big Time Gaming, Eyecon and Hacksaw Gaming. Fortune Games is operated by Jumpman Gaming Limited, which is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission under account number 39175, and does not make its own games.
Do some studios pay out more than others?
Not in a way you can use. Each game has its own RTP, and many games come in more than one version, so check the help screen of the game you open.
Are the games tested?
Yes. Games offered to players in Great Britain must have their random number generators tested by an approved test house before they go live.
What is Megaways?
A mechanic created by Big Time Gaming in which reel heights change on every spin, so the number of ways to win changes too. Other studios, such as Blueprint Gaming, use it under licence.
