Pragmatic Play New Slots 2019
The story of Medusa has inspired quite a few slot machines over the years, something that has also happened with other creatures and legends from around the world. Medusa Strike is a Pragmatic Play game, one that mixes a high RTP with fixed jackpots and average-sized regular wins.
With the Irish theme being such a popular choice in slot machines, Celtic Gold needs to do quite a bit in other areas, in order to stand out in today’s market. It’s not going to do much in that regard though, and though it has a good RTP and average payouts, I don’t think that Pragmatic Play has a winner on their hands with this one. Keep reading to learn more about it though.
The story of the monkey god has been quite the popular theme for slot machines lately, obviously in each case being a Chinese style game that we’re seeing. Monkey Warrior is Pragmatic Play’s attempt at a slot machine with this story, a game with modern graphics and a predictable line-up of symbols, as well as several features from their arsenal, which often manage to make a slot fun to play.
5 Lions Gold, coming from Pragmatic Play, is a release which offers high volatility, ways to win and a Chinese theme that’s fairly well designed. The game doesn’t stand out if you look at graphics/theme alone, but it has its good sides as well, and you get to find out all about them from our review. This is a sequel for another Pragmatic Play release, and in the Gold version we get a jackpot as well, among other things.
In a setting which we’ve seen a lot of times in the past, inspired by Chinese fortunes and culture, Caishen’s Cash is offering excellent payouts, good features and high quality graphics, just what I’ve come to expect from Pragmatic Play.
Triple Jokers might be a new release that Pragmatic Play offers, but it’s definitely not trying to feature modern features or graphics. It’s mostly a classic-style game, one where the Jokers are main characters, and where 7s or bells don’t look out of place at all. Going beyond those basic graphics, we find a game with decent RTP and OK potential.
Sweet Bonanza is not your typical slot machine, and that’s great, as far as I’m concerned. Coming from Pragmatic Play, a developer with plenty of experience in this field, I think that you will agree that it looks good and thanks to its very high potential, it can also be fun to play, especially since it’s only a Medium volatility slot.
There is a good reason why players love pirate themed slot machines, and Pirate Gold shows us why. The game features some excellent graphics, has huge rewards to give away, and it’s a high volatility game, a 10 out of 10 in that regard. Pragmatic Play understood that a lot of players are looking for these huge volatility slots with awesome potential, and they’re offering just that type of game here.
Extra Juicy manages to capture the game’s appeal quite well, by using just the title. With potential payouts of up to 60,000x the stake, with ultra high volatility and some cool multipliers, the game offers the player an excellent reason to play it, even though it also has a classic fruit theme that’s far from appealing for most. This Pragmatic Play game is a slot to definitely consider.
Pragmatic Play seems to be inspired by the success of some of the other developers which have released high volatility slots lately, and they’re coming up with their own games that offer huge rewards. Dog House is one such high volatility title, which as a bonus also offers a cute dog-inspired theme.
Egyptian Fortunes is one of Pragmatic Play’s slots, a release which aims to once again show us how profitable it can be, to go digging through treasures in Egypt. It’s inspired by the pharaohs and deities of the Ancient Egyptian civilization, a choice of theme which is among the least original you can get in a slot machine.
Wild Pixies will take the action to the usual enchanted forest, but it has its fair share of unique offers, such as the use of both male and female pixies, which thanks to the pointy ears look like elves with wings. The game’s cartoon-style graphics were very well crafted, but the game’s going to be attractive through its features as well, not just because it’s pretty. Pragmatic Play is not at its first pixie themed title, but it doesn’t seem to be turning into a series.
Treasure Horse might not sound like it, but it’s a Chinese themed title, and a classic 3-reel release at the same time. Its developer is called Pragmatic Play, and they’ve made sure to offer us something unique with this new classic of theirs, using not just pretty graphics but also some excellent features.
If Africa’s mysterious and wild regions are attractive to you, then you will be glad to see this new slot game which is coming from Pragmatic Play. Safari King’s focus will be on the big animals that you might see during such a safari adventure, and the Lion is obviously the main one.
A new release that’s coming via Pragmatic Play, Vikings vs Trolls will mix fantasy with history, using trolls from one and the Viking warriors from the other. The mix is not a standard one, and I haven’t seen many slots that would do this in the past, but I like what the end result is like.
A game with wild horses, cowboys armed with six shooters and beautiful cow girls, Mustang Gold is going to be inspired by the Wild West, that much is obvious immediately. It’s a Pragmatic Play slot machine, one of their first titles scheduled for release at the start of 2019.
This coming winter season, Pragmatic Play will be giving us a brand new Christmas themed slot Leprechaun Carol, but with a twist. The main characters aren’t Santa and his elfs in this case, but the Irish leprechauns which we’ve seen so often in the middle of Ireland’s green rolling hills. We get a winter themed game in this case, with high volatility and big rewards which could be triggered.
Triple Dragons is part of an increasing number of slot machines, those inspired by Chinese folklore and at the same time using a classic layout. 3-reel slot machines aren’t generally associated with the Chinese, but I’ve seen more and more such games being released, and the quality is often excellent. In this case, it’s Pragmatic Play that created the slot machine.
Ancient Egypt Classic is the second game to be released by Pragmatic Play with these particular graphics, symbols and even title, but they’ve changed some of the payouts for the better, perhaps in an attempt to make their version of the game more competitive. It’s a Book of Ra clone, and there are many competitors for it out there. They also decided to add the Classic word to the title, though I still think this will make the game a confusing choice for some.
Pragmatic Play is a company that’s been operating since 2015, so it’s got over the 8 years of its life behind it already. It’s also one of the developers that have managed to gain a big foothold in the industry, their games being currently available at around 100 different online casinos, including some of the biggest brands. They currently have 250 employees, living in countries from all over the world.
Pragmatic Play certifies all its games through an auditor called Technical Systems Testing, and so you can rest assured that their content is safe for the use of players. To the same end, they have a gaming license obtained in the Netherlands Antilles, from the Curacao jurisdiction, which is very well known in the casino industry. The content they offer players is accessible on all platforms, including PC, Mac and mobiles. Their content is translated into 22 languages, it’s designed with HTML5 and is available in 78 countries.
History
Pragmatic Play was founded in Malta, a jurisdiction from the European Union, back in 2015. The company has grown significantly over the course of the last decade, and right now they have over 100 table games, slots and other types of titles in their collection. They’ve also managed to grow to a size where they have over 250 people employed, in countries from all over the world. They seem to be doing very well for themselves, and I expect them to continue growing at the same rate in the future. They’ve been acquired in 2016, by IBID Group.
Pragmatic Play Casino Games
Considering that the company has about 9 years since it was founded, the fact that they offer 100+ games is pretty good. As many others do, the biggest focus of the company is on the video slots, the category of games that has the most titles to offer. The other four categories that are listed on their site include Classic Slots, Table Games, Video Poker and Other Games.
For the Classic Slots category, there are only four titles available, but on average they’re miles ahead of the majority of the 3 reel games that you’re going to find on the market right now. These four games are called Diamonds are Forever, 888 Dragons, 888 Gold and Irish Charms. They don’t have very exciting themes, but most of them are not focused on the classic icons at least.
They’ve started designing their collection of Table Games as well, including three titles in this category for now. They will give you a chance to experience their idea of a game of Baccarat, of Multihand Blackjack or of Roulette Crystal.
The Video Poker category holds a single game for now, but I’m sure they have plans to expand it further. The game that they started with is the one called Jacks of Better.
Finally, there is also a category called Other Games, where the only two titles available are called Keno and Go! Monkey.
I’ve left the most consistent category of all for last. The Video Slots collection is the one where you’re going to discover most of the 100+ titles available from Pragmatic Play. Just like their other games, they’re designed in HTML5, which makes them all accessible on mobile devices, on Mac or PC, and all this directly from the browser. They seem to be focused quite heavily on China and on other common themes, but I’ve discovered some interesting ideas among those themes as well. Besides titles like 8 Dragons, Caishen’s Gold or Queen of Gold, there are also more interesting slots like Pixie Wings, Romeo and Juliet, Mighty Kong and The Catfather (I and II).
Graphics
Companies that get their start in the online market seem to have an advantage over those that make the switch from the land based side of the casino business. The graphics tend to be better in their slot machines, and the newer the developer the better the look of their games on average. It’s certainly the case with Pragmatic Play, a developer whose slot machines I found quite enticing. No matter what game of theirs I looked at, I enjoyed the design, and that says a lot about what you can expect from them. Some of my favorites, in terms of visuals were slots like Aladdin’s Treasure and The Catfather II.
Features
I’ve noticed that the majority of the games from Pragmatic Play will have three types of features to offer, though they’re going to be the usual ones that most modern slots have. The most common mix of features will include a wild, a scatter symbol and a bonus symbol. The last two I mentioned will typically bring free spins and a bonus game, respectively. There are other options as well, sometimes without the bonus game, but maybe with a multiplier instead. If there was anything to complain about here, it would be that there isn’t enough innovation in this area. Still, their games do provide you with plenty of features, so they’re still quite enjoyable.
Payouts
Some slot machines from Pragmatic Play might give you a lot of lines, multipliers and payouts of up to 1,000x, while others will go the other way, and provide you with rewards that multiply your line bet by up to 5,000x or 10,000x. Bonus games can sometimes give you even better rewards than those from regular combinations.
