BetGames Slots, Live Games & Where to Play in the UK

By Jack Henshaw, Head Writer · Published 6 July 2026 · Last updated 10 July 2026

BetGames is not, at heart, a slots studio — it is one of the live-dealer industry’s most established names, the Vilnius studio behind Wheel of Fortune, Dice Duel and War of Bets since 2012, and that history still makes up the overwhelming majority of what it does. What’s new, and what this review focuses on, is a genuine slots operation the company only opened in January 2025: a real, fast-growing catalogue of 24 RNG titles rather than a token side-project, but still barely 18 months old against rivals with decades in the reels business. Our verdict reflects that: 5/10. This BetGames review covers the slots that exist so far, how they compare with the studio’s live-games reputation, and the licence file behind both.

The essential BetGames slots: 10 games that actually matter (so far)

An honest framing before the list: BetGames has been making slots for a little over eighteen months. There isn’t decades of catalogue to sift through here — there’s a fast-moving first wave, several titles a month since early 2025, and a studio still finding its feet in a genre it didn’t previously touch. The ten below are the strongest and most representative of that first wave; published RTPs are typical defaults, and the full list so far is near the end of the page.

1. Bad Baboons (January 2025)

One of the four titles in BetGames’ actual slots debut — announced 16 January 2025 alongside Citrus Splash (the release BetGames’ own press materials name as the literal first), Candy Coins and Crypt of Giza: Secrets Unveiled — and the one that would go on to define the studio’s flagship line. This jungle-themed 5×3 runs a standard Hold & Win bonus (locking coin symbols for a respin sequence) alongside free spins with expanding wilds, publishes RTP tiers from roughly 94.56% to 96.34%, and carries a published max win of 10,000x. Nothing about the mechanics is groundbreaking, but as an early attempt it’s a coherent, well-produced one, and the only one of the four debut titles to spawn a sequel within its first year.

2. Dragon’s Fate (March 2025)

An Asian-themed 6×4 grid with Hold & Win and expanding wilds, published at a flat 95.05% RTP with a 5,000x max win. It’s a slightly larger board than most of BetGames’ other early releases, and one of the more visually polished titles in the catalogue’s first few months — the kind of safe, well-executed theme that suggests the studio was leaning on experienced outside art and math partners to get the venture off the ground quickly.

3. Lucky Loki (March 2025)

A Norse-mythology 5×4, 25-payline slot built around the trickster god, with free spins that trigger a wheel mini-game alongside expanding wilds and multipliers. Published at high volatility with a 2,500x max win — modest by modern standards, but the wheel-bonus layer gives it a bit more structure than a straight free-spins retrigger loop.

4. Crypt of Giza Deluxe (April 2025)

The catalogue’s first genuine sequel: an upgraded 6×3 (from the original Crypt of Giza’s smaller board) Egyptian-themed slot with an Expanding & Multiplying Symbol feature during free spins and a progressive multiplier built from scatter collection. Very high volatility, published at a 10,000x max win. That a franchise concept appeared this early is a useful early signal that BetGames intends to build out families rather than release one-off titles indefinitely.

5. Lotus Wealth Wonders Deluxe (April 2025)

An Asian-themed 6×3 with Hold & Win, expanding wilds and instant bonuses, and BetGames’ second sequel of the year — an upgraded rebuild of the original Lotus Wealth Wonders. High volatility, RTP published up to 96.46%. Alongside Crypt of Giza Deluxe, it confirms a pattern: rather than only launching fresh titles, BetGames is already revisiting and expanding its own earliest releases within months of them going live.

6. Bad Baboons Deluxe (May 2025)

A sequel to the studio’s very first slot, arriving barely four months after the original — about as fast as a slots studio can turn a debut title into a franchise. Same jungle theme, expanded feature set with Hold & Win and expanding wilds carried over and sharpened. It’s a clear statement of intent: Bad Baboons wasn’t a one-off experiment, it’s the seed of what BetGames wants to be its signature line.

7. Gold Adventure (May 2025)

A Wild West-themed 5×3 with Hold & Win and high-paying free spins, published with RTP tiers up to 96.34%. Unremarkable next to the bigger names on this list, but a solid example of BetGames sticking to a tight, proven feature template (Hold & Win plus free spins) rather than experimenting wildly release to release — consistency that will matter more once the catalogue is judged over years rather than months.

8. Buffalo Wilds (July 2025)

An American-plains animal theme running Hold & Win with sticky wilds in free spins and expanding wilds in the base game — two wild mechanics stacked in the same title, published at a 5,000x max win across three RTP tiers (94.37%/95.72%/96.69%). The clearest evidence yet that “buffalo” and “animal plains” themes travel well regardless of who makes them; BetGames’ version doesn’t reinvent the format but executes it competently.

9. Olympus Gold (July 2025)

The catalogue’s biggest board so far: a 6×5 Greek-mythology slot with “crush” mechanics (winning symbols disappear, new ones cascade in for chain reactions), multiplier symbols and scatter-triggered free spins. RTP published across three tiers up to 96.53%, high volatility. Cascading-grid Greek-gods slots are one of the most crowded sub-genres in the whole industry, and Olympus Gold doesn’t distinguish itself mechanically from the dozens of similarly-named games already out there — but it does show the studio is willing to build its most technically ambitious grid yet rather than staying at 5×3 indefinitely.

10. Lucky Lenny’s Jetpack (September 2025)

The one genuinely distinctive idea in the catalogue to date: BetGames bills it as the world’s first “horizontal slot,” a 10×8 dynamic layout running sideways rather than the usual vertical reel stack, with two bonus rounds (El Dorado’s Wheel and El Dorado’s Gameboard) and a respin feature after non-winning spins. Published at 95.35% RTP, medium volatility. According to game producer Shlomi Zilbert, the format was deliberately built to feel accessible to sports bettors converting to casino play — a very BetGames way to think about a slot, given the company’s betting-industry roots. It’s also the clearest hint of where the studio wants to take original slot design next, rather than just re-skinning the same Hold & Win template.

BetGames vs the studios it’s now competing with

This comparison only really works one way round: BetGames isn’t yet competing on equal terms with any established slots specialist, so the honest version of this table is a contrast, not a contest.

The honest read: BetGames’ slots arm is roughly where a slots-only studio would have been in its first year or two of existence — a competent, safe first wave, one genuinely novel idea (Lucky Lenny’s Jetpack), and a catalogue too young to have earned the kind of reputation Booming Games or Wazdan built up over a decade-plus. What makes BetGames different from a typical slots newcomer, though, is that it isn’t starting from zero commercially: it already has UKGC, MGA and a long list of other licences, live relationships with a huge roster of operators, and 100+ staff, all of which should make distributing its slots considerably easier than it is for a genuinely new studio with no existing operator relationships at all.

The BetGames game families so far

Barely eighteen months in, BetGames already has two clear sequel pairs — worth tracking as the first sign of which titles the studio considers its keepers.

The Bad Baboons line

Bad Baboons (January 2025) and Bad Baboons Deluxe (May 2025) share the jungle theme and Hold & Win core, with the Deluxe version arriving just four months later and refining the feature set — the fastest sequel turnaround in the catalogue and a strong signal this is the studio’s flagship line going forward.

The Crypt of Giza line

Crypt of Giza: Secrets Unveiled (January 2025) and its sequel Crypt of Giza Deluxe (April 2025) form a two-deep Egyptian-themed slot franchise, the Deluxe expanding the reel layout and feature depth — the closest thing to a mature product line the slots side has built yet, despite both existing inside a single calendar year. Worth a footnote: BetGames also runs a separate live-dealer pachinko-style game show simply called Crypt of Giza (launched 2023), which shares the name and theme but isn’t a slot and isn’t part of this franchise.

The Lotus Wealth Wonders line

Lotus Wealth Wonders and its Deluxe follow-up form the third sequel pair, again upgrading grid size and feature depth on an Asian-fortune theme — suggesting the sequel pattern isn’t a one-off but becoming the studio’s default way of extending a title that performs.

Signature mechanics & technology

Almost the entire slots catalogue runs on an industry-standard toolkit — Hold & Win, expanding wilds, cascading “crush” grids, scatter-triggered free spins — none of it unique to BetGames. One release breaks that pattern:

The horizontal slot format (Lucky Lenny’s Jetpack)

A 10×8 layout that runs sideways instead of the usual vertical reel stack, paired with a “Spin and Fly” mechanic replacing the traditional spin animation. BetGames describes it as the industry’s first horizontal slot, and whether or not that claim survives scrutiny long-term, it’s the one mechanical idea in the catalogue that didn’t come from somewhere else first. The studio’s own statements suggest more games built on the same horizontal format are already in development.

Hold & Win, borrowed like everyone else’s

The coin-collection respin mechanic popularised by Pragmatic Play and now used across dozens of studios appears in the majority of BetGames’ releases (Bad Baboons, Buffalo Wilds, Gold Adventure, Dragon’s Fate, Lotus Wealth Wonders Deluxe). It’s a safe, proven choice for a studio building its first catalogue quickly, not a differentiator.

Multiple RTP tiers, disclosed

Most titles ship with 2–3 selectable RTP settings rather than one fixed number — standard practice across the industry now, but worth noting BetGames adopted it from its very first releases rather than needing to be pushed into transparency later.

BetGames slots RTP: the real numbers

The defaults: published tiers across the catalogue mostly sit between 94% and 96.7%, in line with wider industry norms for RNG slots — nothing unusually generous or stingy.

Adjustable tiers: the large majority of titles (Bad Baboons, Buffalo Wilds, Gold Adventure, Olympus Gold, Dozen Jackpots among them) ship with 2–3 selectable RTP settings, meaning the operator’s chosen configuration genuinely changes the maths you’re facing — check the in-game paytable before playing, always.

Max wins: mostly modest by current slots standards — Crypt of Giza Deluxe and Bad Baboons both publish 10,000x as the catalogue’s current ceiling, well below the 20,000x–150,000x range now common at tier-1 slots studios. Our responsible gambling guide applies as always.

From BetGames.TV pioneer to first-year slots studio

The arc that matters: this is a thirteen-year live-dealer specialist that only decided to become a slots studio at all in 2025, and has moved unusually fast since — several releases a month, two sequel lines already, and one genuinely original mechanic, all inside eighteen months. Whether that pace produces a catalogue with real staying power, or just a lot of competent-but-forgettable titles, is the one question this review can’t yet answer with confidence — there simply hasn’t been enough time.

The people behind BetGames

Vygerdas Jonikas, the founder who became chief product officer

BetGames was founded by Vygerdas Jonikas in 2012. Rather than stepping away as the company grew, Jonikas moved into the Chief Product Officer role in 2020 when the board brought in outside leadership to run the business day-to-day — a common and sensible transition for a founder-led company scaling past its startup phase.

Andreas Köberl, the Playtech veteran running the show since 2020

Köberl joined as CEO in October 2020 after roles at Playtech Sports and heading up the Trinity Bet Group’s HPYBET sportsbook brand, plus earlier years at Microsoft. His appointment coincided with a period of clear expansion — new licences, the Malta office, and eventually the decision to enter slots at all in 2025, a call that sits squarely inside his tenure.

Shlomi Zilbert, the producer behind the studio’s one original idea

Credited by BetGames as the game producer behind Lucky Lenny’s Jetpack, Zilbert described the horizontal-slot format as designed to stay “intuitive and accessible,” aimed partly at converting the company’s existing sports-betting audience into slot players — a design brief that only really makes sense for a studio with BetGames’ particular betting-industry background.

Is BetGames fair? Licensing, regulation & the record

Checked against the Gambling Commission’s public register on 10 July 2026.

The licence. TV Zaidimai holds UKGC account 41022, with four active licences: Gambling Software (Remote, active since 12 November 2015), Game Host (Casino, since 25 April 2018), and Betting Host licences for both Real and Virtual Events (both since 30 March 2023). Verify it yourself on the UKGC public register.

The record. Clean: no UKGC enforcement action against TV Zaidimai that we can find. BetGames also holds a Malta Gaming Authority B2B licence (RN/125/2019) plus licences in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Italy, Bulgaria and South Africa, among others, and is pursuing further licences in Greece and Ontario.

Beyond licensing. BetGames also holds ISO 27001 information-security certification, held jointly with its sister sports-betting brand Twain Sport — a genuine independent standard on top of the regulatory licences, covering how player and operator data is handled rather than game fairness specifically.

So is it fair? Yes on the licensing file — a clean, active UK register entry and certifications across multiple regulated markets. On the slots specifically: too early to have accumulated any track record either way beyond standard RNG certification, simply because the product is under two years old.

The biggest BetGames slots wins

A catalogue too young and too capped to have produced a headline jackpot story yet. Documented context only:

No independently verified big-win reports (casino press releases, Guinness, credible news coverage) exist yet for BetGames’ slots specifically — unsurprising given how new the catalogue is. We’ll update this table the moment one is confirmable.

BetGames live games: beyond the reels

The context a slots-only review site would likely miss entirely:

The tail is genuinely the dog here

Slots are, for now, a small fraction of what BetGames actually does. The company’s core business — and the reason operators carry it at all — remains its live-dealer and TV-games catalogue — the BetGames games most players actually know: Wheel of Fortune, Dice Duel, War of Bets, the Lucky number games and the poker/baccarat live formats, streamed continuously from studios in Vilnius and Malta since the mid-2010s. Reviewing BetGames purely as a slots studio, as this page necessarily does, only tells a fraction of the company’s real story.

A crash-game and arcade sideline, not slots either

Skyward and Skyward Deluxe (crash games) and Plinko! (an arcade Plinko-board instant game) are sometimes lumped in with BetGames’ “new RNG content,” but none of them are slot machines in any meaningful sense — they’re a separate expansion into the broader instant-games category that happened to arrive around the same time as the slots pivot. We’ve deliberately excluded them from every ranking and mechanic discussion on this page.

A sports-betting bridge, by design

BetGames has been explicit that its slots — Lucky Lenny’s Jetpack especially — are partly designed to convert sports bettors into casino players, a strategic framing that makes more sense coming from a company with deep roots in real-money betting products than it would from a traditional slots studio.

New BetGames slots: what’s launched and what’s coming

The state of BetGames slots right now: still accelerating, with new titles landing roughly monthly and a public roadmap stretching well into 2027.

The studio’s own public roadmap lists further titles into 2027 — including Dragon Boost, Citrus Splash Deluxe and Reel Fin Fury — at a similar release cadence to 2025–26, genuinely one of the more transparent public release calendars we’ve seen from any provider on this site. It also lists further crash-game entries (Skyward Storm, Skyward Spins) alongside the slots, which we’ve excluded from this page for the same reason as the existing Skyward titles. Paytable first, always.

What players actually say

Player commentary on BetGames’ slots specifically is thin simply because the catalogue is so new — most existing player sentiment about the brand still concerns its live-dealer games, where it has a long, largely positive reputation.

The love: where players have commented on the slots, the Hold & Win titles (Bad Baboons, Buffalo Wilds, Gold Adventure) are generally described as competent, clean and mobile-friendly, consistent with BetGames’ long-standing reputation for polished production values on the live side. Lucky Lenny’s Jetpack draws specific curiosity for its horizontal format, simply because it’s different from everything else on the market.

The gripes, plainly: the slots catalogue is derivative — almost every title bar Lucky Lenny’s Jetpack runs mechanics (Hold & Win, cascading grids, standard free spins) that dozens of other studios already do, often better and with bigger max wins. Eighteen months isn’t long enough to have built the kind of catalogue depth or standout hits that would make BetGames a first-choice slots studio for anyone, and the max-win ceiling (10,000x) lags well behind what’s now standard at tier-1 studios. Both criticisms are fair, and neither should be surprising for a studio this new to the genre.

Which BetGames slot should you play?

The thirty-second version of everything above:

Our verdict on BetGames

All Slot Providers score: 5/10 — a highly respected live-dealer studio’s competent but unremarkable and very young first attempt at slots, honestly reviewed on those slots alone rather than borrowing credit from its live-games reputation.

BetGames’ slots suit players who already use BetGames for its live-dealer games and are curious to try the new side of the business, or anyone interested in Lucky Lenny’s Jetpack’s horizontal format specifically. Look elsewhere if you want a slots studio with real catalogue depth or a bigger max-win ceiling — Wazdan and Booming Games both offer over a decade more history and considerably larger libraries.
