A studio's name tells you more about a game than its artwork does. Two slots from the same studio usually share the same bones: bonus structure, win cap, rhythm. Learn the studio and you can guess how a new title will treat a $20 budget.
If you want the plumbing, meaning who builds a game, who connects it to a casino and who decides which RTP version you get, that is covered on who actually makes casino games. This page is the other half: the studios themselves, one guide each.
The eight studios we cover
| Studio | Founded | Known for | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pragmatic Play | 2015 | Tumbling pay-anywhere slots, a new release most weeks, a live casino too | Pragmatic Play |
| Evolution | 2006, Sweden | Live dealer tables and game shows streamed from real studios | Evolution |
| Hacksaw Gaming | 2018, Malta | Comic-book slots, tiered bonus buys, win caps near 10,000× | Hacksaw Gaming |
| Play'n GO | 1997, Växjö | Book of Dead, the Rich Wilde series, Reactoonz | Play'n GO |
| NetEnt | 1996, Stockholm | Starburst, Gonzo's Quest and the low-key classics | NetEnt |
| Nolimit City | 2014, Stockholm | Dark themes and some of the harshest volatility in the business | Nolimit City |
| Spribe | 2018 | Aviator and quick-round games like Mines and Plinko | Spribe |
| Games Global | 2022 (ex-Microgaming) | Mega Moolah and a very deep back catalogue | Games Global |
Pick a studio by how you like to play
- You want a slot that can turn a quiet evening around in one bonus round, and you accept that most evenings it won't: start with Hacksaw or Nolimit City.
- You like watching symbols fall and multipliers stack, at stakes as low as $0.20: Pragmatic Play is the obvious first stop.
- You'd rather sit at a table with a real dealer, even from your couch in January: Evolution.
- You want a simple ten-line game you can follow while half-watching the hockey: Play'n GO and NetEnt.
- You want rounds that last seconds and a cash-out button you control: Spribe.
- You are chasing a progressive jackpot rather than a multiplier: Games Global, then our jackpot slots page for the odds.
What a studio page here will and won't tell you
Each guide lists the studio's headline games with the RTP and maximum win the studio itself publishes, and says so when a figure isn't published. We don't rank studios, and the number in the game's own info screen beats any number on this site.
Looking for a specific title rather than a studio? The casino games guides cover Sweet Bonanza, Aviator, Crazy Time, Book of Dead and nine more.
Five casinos where these studios' kinds of games turn up
Catalogues change, so we don't promise any studio is in a given lobby today. Here is the size of each lobby, counted in September 2026.
Cas2Bet
The largest lobby of the five: 4,452 active slots and 519 live tables on 24 September, so the most room to compare several studios side by side.

300% matchPromo code WIN300
CasinoPurple
A lobby of 3,662 slots, shared game for game with ZeSlots; pick between the two on the offer, not the catalogue.

ZeSlots
The same 3,662-slot lobby as CasinoPurple with a larger match on the first deposit, which is the only real difference between them.

Frequently asked questions
Which game provider has the highest RTP?
No studio has a single RTP. Each game has its own, and many studios ship the same game in several versions. Compare games, and read the figure in the game's info screen.
Are games from the same studio identical at every casino?
The game is the same, but the RTP version and the stake range can differ, because the operator picks from the options the studio offers.
Is Games Global the same company as Microgaming?
Games Global took over Microgaming's content business in 2022, including titles such as Mega Moolah. The Microgaming name still appears on older games.
Why do Evolution and NetEnt appear together so often?
Evolution bought NetEnt in 2020 and Nolimit City in 2022, so one group owns all three, even though the studios keep their own names and styles.
