Play’n GO casinos are online casinos that offer games from Play’n GO, the studio behind Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, Reactoonz and Moon Princess. Play’n GO says it has more than 400 titles and is licensed in Malta, Great Britain and Gibraltar among other markets. This page lists the legacy Anjouan brands in this comparison whose sites show Play’n GO games, eight notable titles with release dates and RTP, and, because Play’n GO is the best-known example of a studio that supplies several RTP versions of the same game, a careful explanation of how to check which version you are playing.

Winna Casino: featured first placement
Winna Casino is our featured first placement, checked on 22 October 2026. Its public help centre lists 13 cryptocurrencies and a $20 equivalent minimum crypto withdrawal. VIP rewards depend on status; no fixed universal welcome bonus has been verified. General featured placement: Play'n GO games at Winna have not been verified. Its offshore Tobique licence evidence, identity checks and country restrictions are explained in the review. The following Anjouan-specific comparisons describe the other five operators, where listed.
The relative order of the legacy comparison entries follows the weighted method set out on our how we rate casinos page (licence, terms, payments, support and game range), and our editorial policy explains how commercial deals are kept apart from scores. The provider-verified legacy entries have evidence of Play’n GO games: Smash Casino and Wildzy name Play’n GO among their slot studios, Play’n GO games appear in Rivo Casino’s lobby, and Seven Casino’s studio list includes Play’n GO (checked 19 October 2026; Seven Casino’s live site was blocked to us, so its list comes from an archived copy of its own site from September 2026). Trixino is not listed because we could not see which studios it carries. Winna is a separate general commercial feature; its Play’n GO availability has not been verified, so its position does not imply provider eligibility.
Who Play’n GO is today
Play’n GO is a privately held studio with Swedish roots. It does not publish an ownership chart, but its licence statements are clear: Play’n GO Malta Limited is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority under licence MGA/B2B/225/2012 and is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission, and the group holds a Gibraltar licence (RGL No. 131) from the Gibraltar Licensing Authority and Gambling Commissioner. Its site also shows other regulators, including the AGCO in Ontario.

What Play’n GO is known for
Book of Dead (2016) made the “book” format famous: during free spins one randomly chosen symbol expands to fill whole reels, which can turn a weak spin into a large win. Its hero Rich Wilde became a recurring character across a family of games. Reactoonz (2017) and Gemix (2014) showed Play’n GO’s taste for cluster grids with charge meters, and Moon Princess and Rise of Olympus added character powers that change the grid. Fire Joker is a small three-reel game with a re-spin and a multiplier wheel, popular with players who want something simple.
Notable Play’n GO games
Release dates come from each game’s page on playngo.com. Play’n GO’s public pages do not print the RTP or volatility, so the RTP shown is the top configuration stated in the game rules, and the volatility is the level shown in the game’s information screen. Your casino may run a lower RTP version.
| Game | Released (Play’n GO) | Top RTP setting | Volatility | Main feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead | 14 Jan 2016 | 96.21% | High | Expanding symbol in free spins |
| Reactoonz | 23 Oct 2017 | 96.51% | High | 7×7 cluster grid, Quantum features |
| Moon Princess | 26 Jul 2017 | 96.50% | High | Cascades with three princess powers |
| Rise of Olympus | 22 Aug 2018 | 96.50% | High | 5×5 cascade grid, god powers |
| Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness | 27 Jun 2019 | 96.59% | Medium-high | Cluster cascades with portal symbols |
| Legacy of Dead | 2 Jan 2020 | 96.58% | High | Multiple expanding symbols in free spins |
| Fire Joker | 13 Jun 2016 | 96.15% | Medium | Three-reel classic with re-spin and wheel |
| Gemix | 1 Dec 2014 | 96.75% | Medium | Cluster grid with crystal charges |
Play’n GO and RTP versions: how to check yours
Play’n GO supplies many of its games in several return settings, and the casino picks which one to run. For Book of Dead the range runs from the top 96.21% down to settings in the 80s. The game looks and plays the same in each version. Only the long-run return changes, and over a few thousand spins that difference adds up: at EUR 1 per spin, 1,000 spins cost EUR 37.90 in theory at 96.21%, but several times as much at the lowest settings: at 87% the same 1,000 spins cost EUR 130.
- Open the game at the casino, in demo mode if possible.
- Open the menu, then the paytable or game rules. Play’n GO prints the theoretical RTP of the running version near the end of the rules.
- Compare it with the top setting in our table. If it is lower, the casino has chosen a reduced version.
- Check a few games, not one. A casino that runs reduced settings usually does so across the Play’n GO catalogue.
- Prefer casinos that run the top setting. If the casino hides the RTP or the rules will not load, play elsewhere.
This matters most for players who use bonuses. Wagering a bonus 40x on a lower-RTP version of Book of Dead costs far more on average than on the top version. Our welcome bonus guide shows how to estimate the cost of wagering.
Play’n GO bonuses and free spins
Book of Dead is one of the most common games for free-spin offers, but none of the four legacy Anjouan entries includes free spins in its welcome package, as far as we could verify. Those four welcome offers are deposit matches spread over four to eight deposits, with 10x wagering on the slots packages: Rivo Casino and Wildzy publish that figure, while Smash Casino and Seven Casino publish none and the 10x comes from the offer given to us. All four set a EUR 2 maximum bet while bonus funds are in play and cap what a deposit bonus can win (25 times the bonus at Rivo, Smash and Wildzy; 10 times at Seven). Seven Casino’s terms, in the archived copy we read, also bar Book of Dead from bonus play. Withdrawals are typically processed within 3 banking days, start at EUR 100 and are capped at EUR 1,000 a day (EUR 10,000 a month; Seven Casino EUR 2,000 a week). More on this in our guide to free spins bonuses.
Play’n GO security and fairness
Play’n GO’s games are tested by accredited laboratories before release in each regulated market, and the studio’s licences in Malta, Great Britain and Gibraltar require its RNG and game maths to be certified. RTP versions are part of that certification: each setting is a separately tested configuration, not a hidden change. The protection that matters to you is transparency, which is why the in-game RTP check above is worth doing every time.

UK players
Only operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission may offer gambling to people in Great Britain (Gambling Act 2005). GAMSTOP self-exclusion covers UKGC-licensed sites only. The four legacy entries hold offshore Anjouan licences; Winna has Tobique licence evidence. None holds a UKGC licence, and all restrict UK residents. If you live in Great Britain, play at a UKGC-licensed site and check the operator on the Commission’s public register first. No casino on our list accepts players from the United States.
Play safely
18+ only (21+ in some countries). Slots and live games are entertainment with a built-in house edge, not a way to make money. Set a deposit limit before your first session, use the reality-check and time-out tools in the casino account, and stop when the budget is gone. Free, confidential help is available from GamCare (National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133) and BeGambleAware.org. Our responsible gambling guide lists self-exclusion options by country.
Frequently asked questions
What is the RTP of Book of Dead?
The top configuration of Book of Dead returns 96.21%. Play’n GO also supplies lower settings that casinos can choose, so the RTP at a given casino can be several points lower. The figure in use is printed in the game’s paytable or rules.
Who is behind Play’n GO?
Play’n GO is a privately held company with Swedish roots. Its games are supplied through Play’n GO Malta Limited, licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA/B2B/225/2012) and by the UK Gambling Commission, with a further licence in Gibraltar (RGL No. 131).
How many games does Play’n GO have?
Play’n GO says it has more than 400 titles in its portfolio, including Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, which it calls one of the most played slots in the history of online gaming.
Why does Book of Dead pay less at some casinos?
Because the casino has chosen a lower RTP version. The graphics and features are identical; only the long-run return changes. Check the paytable before playing and pick a casino that runs the 96.21% version.
Is Play’n GO licensed in the UK?
Yes. Play’n GO states that Play’n GO Malta Limited is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission. That covers the game supply to UKGC-licensed casinos only.
