ReelPlay Casinos

Part Studio, Part Engine Room for Others

This is the part most players never hear about. ReelPlay makes its own games, but it also helps other studios get theirs online.

The in-house slots ReelPlay ships to casinos

ReelPlay designs and builds its own titles, from first sketch to finished maths. The team includes people with long careers at IGT, Aristocrat and NextGen, and in a SlotCatalog interview given while David Johnson was still CCO, the company said it released around half a dozen games a year, choosing quality over volume. SlotCatalog now lists 99 slots under the Reel Play name, all of them video slots.

The partner studios

For smaller developers, ReelPlay offers game build, maths, marketing, integration and commercial support. Boomerang Games, Gameslab, Bad Dingo and Lightning Box have all been named as partners. In 2020 Relax Gaming extended its deal with ReelPlay to cover this third party studio content, and Bad Dingo’s Golden Haul Infinity Reels reached casinos through Yggdrasil in partnership with ReelPlay.

Licensing the idea

Infinity Reels is a product in its own right. In 2020 Relax Gaming signed an IP deal for the Infinity Reels trade dress and mechanic on behalf of its partners, its in-house Silver Bullet Studios included, and other studios build Infinity Reels games under licence. So when an Infinity Reels slot turns up from a studio you have never heard of, the idea still started in Sydney, and our game provider guides are a good place to look that studio up.

Megaways, 10K Ways and Gigablox Under One Roof

Infinity Reels gets the headlines, but ReelPlay works across several formats, some of them its own and some licensed from other companies. Here is how they differ:

Hypernova Megaways deserves its own mention. It was among the first releases after the rebrand, plays on six reels with up to 117,649 ways and swaps free spins for a jackpot respins feature with four fixed jackpots. Later, Hypernova Infinity Reels Dream Drop and Tsai Shen 10K Ways Dream Drop joined Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop jackpot network.

Signing Up at ReelPlay Casinos: Look Past the Reels

The list at the top of this page shows the open casinos in our database that carry ReelPlay. Closed and blacklisted casinos are left out, so you start from a cleaner shortlist.

At ReelPlay casinos, as anywhere else, the games are only half of the decision. Make sure the casino is licensed in the country where you live, and read the withdrawal terms in our review: how long payouts take, which limits apply and what verification is required.

Three details to check at ReelPlay casinos

• RTP version. SlotCatalog tags several ReelPlay slots, Buster Hammer Carnival and Giza Infinity Reels among them, with an RTP range, so the same game can pay back differently at different casinos. The info screen shows the version you get.
• Bonus weighting. With bonus money, check that ReelPlay slots count fully towards wagering and are not on an excluded list for high volatility games.
• Bonus buys. Several Infinity Reels games offer a buy feature, but some regulated markets ban it, so the button may simply be missing where you play.
