Push Gaming casinos are online casinos that carry slots from Push Gaming, the London studio behind Jammin’ Jars, Razor Shark and Big Bamboo. Push Gaming has been majority-owned by LeoVegas Group, part of MGM Resorts International, since 2023, and it still releases games under its own name. Below you will find the casino on our list whose site shows Push Gaming, nine notable Push titles with both RTP settings printed on Push Gaming’s own game pages, and how to check which one a casino is running.

All game figures were checked on 8 October 2026 on pushgaming.com. Push Gaming is unusually open about RTP versions: each game page lists the settings it supplies and says the active one is shown on the loading screen.

Who Push Gaming is today

Push Gaming was founded in 2010 by James Marshall and Winston Lee. The UK Gambling Commission register gives the head office of Push Gaming Holding Plc as ST Tower, Ta’ Xbiex, Malta, and the studio’s own site also lists an office at 10 East Road in London. On 1 May 2023 LeoVegas Group, which MGM Resorts International bought in 2022, announced that it would acquire a majority stake in Push Gaming. The deal was completed later in 2023. LeoVegas said the studio would keep its brand and staff, and the co-founders stayed on in leadership roles.

What Push Gaming is known for

Push Gaming builds a small number of carefully made, high-volatility slots rather than a large catalogue. Jammin’ Jars (2018) became its signature: a cluster-pays grid where jar wilds move after each win and carry growing multipliers. Razor Shark introduced mystery stacks that reveal matching symbols, and Fat Rabbit started the “Fat” series of characters that grow during the bonus. Big Bamboo later added mystery symbols with cash values that became a hit with streamers.

The studio’s other trait is transparency on maths. Each game page lists the RTP versions supplied, a volatility label and a short note on where players can see the active RTP in the game. That makes Push Gaming one of the easiest studios to check.

Notable Push Gaming games: RTP and volatility

The table shows the two RTP settings and the volatility label from each game’s page at pushgaming.com. The casino decides which RTP it runs; Push says the active figure is shown in the user panel and on the game loading screen.

Game Top RTP Lower RTP Volatility (Push Gaming) Main feature
Jammin’ Jars 96.83% 94.25% High Cluster pays, moving jar wilds with multipliers
Jammin’ Jars 2 96.40% 94.40% High Giga Jar feature, instant prizes up to 1,000x
Razor Shark 96.70% 94.06% High Mystery stacks, Razor Reveal, free spins
Fat Rabbit 96.45% 94.15% High Rabbit wild that grows by eating carrots
Big Bamboo 96.13% 94.13% High Mystery symbols revealing cash values
Wild Swarm 97.03% 94.67% Mid-High Wild swarm feature and free spins
Retro Tapes 96.47% 94.46% High Expanding reels and multipliers
Fat Banker 96.43% 94.45% High Fat-series cash collect feature
Tiki Tumble 96.49% 94.36% High Tumbling blocks and multipliers

Jammin’ Jars and Jammin’ Jars 2

Jammin’ Jars pays for clusters of five or more fruit symbols on an 8×8 grid. Jar wilds stay on the grid after a win and move, adding to a multiplier each time they are part of a new cluster. Push lists 96.83% (top) and 94.25% (lower). The sequel adds a Giga Jar feature and instant prizes that can reach 1,000x, with settings of 96.40% and 94.40%.

Razor Shark

Mystery stacks on the reels reveal matching symbols, and the Razor Reveal feature can uncover multipliers and free-spin triggers. RTP: 96.70% or 94.06%. It is one of Push’s swingiest classics.

Fat Rabbit, Fat Banker and the Fat series

Fat Rabbit’s wild rabbit grows as it collects carrots in free spins, expanding to cover more of the reels. Fat Banker applies the same “grow and collect” idea to cash symbols. Both are high volatility, with settings of 96.45% / 94.15% and 96.43% / 94.45%.

Big Bamboo, Wild Swarm, Retro Tapes and Tiki Tumble

Big Bamboo (96.13% / 94.13%) uses mystery symbols that can turn into cash values in the bonus. Wild Swarm has the highest top setting we found on Push’s site, 97.03%, and the only mid-high volatility label in our table. Retro Tapes (96.47% / 94.46%) expands its reels and multipliers in the feature. Tiki Tumble (96.49% / 94.36%) uses tumbling blocks with multipliers.

How to check a Push Gaming game’s RTP at a casino

  1. Load the game and watch the loading screen: Push Gaming shows the active RTP in the corner.
  2. If you missed it, open the user panel or game rules, where the RTP is printed again.
  3. Compare it with the two settings in our table. If you see the lower one (around 94%), the casino has chosen the reduced version.
  4. Check a second Push game at the same casino. Most casinos choose one setting across a studio’s catalogue.
  5. Prefer a casino that runs the top setting, especially if you plan to play through a bonus.

The difference is worth knowing. On Jammin’ Jars, 1,000 spins at EUR 0.50 (EUR 500 staked) cost EUR 15.85 in theory at 96.83% but EUR 28.75 at 94.25%. Over a bonus with 40x wagering, that gap grows quickly. Our welcome bonus guide explains how to estimate the cost of wagering.

Taste Vegas for Push Gaming players

Taste Vegas is the only partner casino where we could confirm Push Gaming from the casino’s own pages, so it is the only casino listed. It is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (licence number MGA/B2C/1072/2024, held by Elvel Limited). Sign-up uses a phone number, and the welcome package is spread over six deposits: up to EUR 1,500 in deposit matches plus 1,500 free spins. The free spins carry no wagering, but winnings are capped at EUR 1,000 per stage.

The deposit-match parts are stricter: 45x the deposit plus bonus on the first, 35x on the third and fifth, a EUR 20 minimum deposit, a EUR 5 maximum bet and 48 hours to complete wagering. With high-volatility Push titles, 48 hours and 45x is a demanding target, so many players will do better taking the free spins and playing the deposit-match stages only if they have time and budget. The offer is not available in Finland, and the casino is not licensed in Great Britain or open to US players.

Why some casinos run the lower RTP

Studios offer lower RTP settings because casinos ask for them. A casino that runs Jammin’ Jars at 94.25% keeps about 5.75% of stakes on average instead of 3.17%, which roughly doubles its long-run margin on that game. Some casinos use the lower setting to fund bigger bonuses; others simply prefer the margin. Neither is illegal where the regulator allows the configuration, but it is a cost to you, and you are entitled to see it. Push Gaming’s choice to print both settings on its site and the active one on the loading screen makes the check easy, and we recommend doing it at every new casino before you deposit.

Push Gaming bonuses and free spins

Because Push Gaming games are high volatility, they are a poor fit for wagering a deposit bonus on a small balance: one long dry spell can end the bonus before the feature arrives. They suit wager-free free spins better, where any win is yours up to the cap. At Taste Vegas the welcome package includes 1,500 wager-free free spins across six deposits, with winnings capped at EUR 1,000 per stage; the deposit-match parts carry 45x wagering on the first bonus and 35x on the third and fifth. See our guide to free spins bonuses for what to check.

Playing high-volatility slots sensibly

High volatility means the return is concentrated in rare, large wins. That changes how you should play:

  • Use a smaller stake than usual, so your budget covers enough spins to see the feature a few times.
  • Decide a loss limit before you start and stop when you reach it, even if the feature “feels due”. Spins are independent.
  • Avoid feature buys if you are on a tight budget: buying the bonus concentrates the volatility into one expensive spin.
  • Use the casino’s reality-check and deposit-limit tools.

Push Gaming compared with other high-volatility studios

Push Gaming sits in a group of studios that build games around big feature rounds. If you like its style, these are the closest comparisons:

Studio Parent (October 2026) Typical style
Push Gaming LeoVegas Group (MGM Resorts International), majority stake Cluster grids, moving wilds, character series
Big Time Gaming Evolution Creator of Megaways, very high volatility
Nolimit City Evolution Extreme volatility, bold themes
Thunderkick Independent Quirky art, mostly low to medium volatility, some high

The common thread is that the headline RTP is delivered through rare large wins. Studio choice matters less than stake size: whichever you pick, a smaller stake per spin gives the feature more chances to arrive within your budget.

Push Gaming security and fairness

Push Gaming’s games are certified for each regulated market in which they are offered, under its UK Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Authority licences. Both RTP settings are separately certified configurations. That protects the game; it does not vouch for the casino, so check the casino’s licence too.

For other studios, see the gaming software hub, including Big Time Gaming and Thunderkick. For slot basics, read our slots guide.

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 casinos in our list above do not hold a UKGC licence and are not aimed at 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.
