JILI1 Pragmatic Play Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Pragmatic Play is among the studios covered here whose corporate detail can be checked directly, so this page lists what can be checked and flags the rest.

Who Pragmatic Play is

A catalogue size is not published. The studio puts out no number for the size of its catalogue of titles.

Whether Pragmatic Play publishes RTP

An RTP quoted for a Pragmatic Play title traces to the studio itself and not an aggregator, because Pragmatic Play publishes return-to-player figures on its own game pages.

On Pragmatic’s own game pages, a title gets one RTP, which is the upper end of a set. Three configurations that operators can choose between are found for most titles in independent records, among them Gates of Olympus 1000 at 96.50 / 95.51 / 94.50 per cent and Sweet Bonanza 1000 at 96.53 / 95.52 / 94.51; Pragmatic’s pages do not disclose that the lower ones exist. For that reason, the quoted Pragmatic RTP is the best configuration on offer rather than a guarantee of what any operator runs.

This matters more than it sounds. Where a return-to-player figure came from decides how much it is worth, and a number that comparison sites pass around with no primary source behind it proves nothing.

Licences the studio holds

Records show Pragmatic Play as having held: Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current. Recourse for a player runs through the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s, because a studio licence covers the company building the games and not the casino offering them; the two licences are different things.

• Malta Gaming Authority — In the name of Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited sits licence MGA/B2B/619/2018. Rather than relying on Pragmatic’s site, the B2B Critical Supply Licence (casino vertical, status Licensed) was confirmed on the MGA’s own verification portal.
• UK Gambling Commission — Pragmatic Play (Gibraltar) Limited holds account 56015 and licence 056015-R-332216-005; the UKGC public register confirms both and shows the licence as active.
• PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current — Pragmatic Play said in September 2016 that it had received a PAGCOR offshore gaming licence. Abolition of the whole framework followed in the Philippines; offshore licences were all required to expire by 31 December 2024, and PAGCOR confirmed their cancellation. Quotations of the 2016 announcement still treat it as current, and it remains online. It is not.

Pragmatic Play in the Philippine market

Although a PAGCOR offshore licence was held from 2016, the regime was abolished as of the end of 2024. The 2016 announcement is not repeated on this site; Pragmatic states nothing about its current Philippine status, so the status is treated as unresolved.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 2 Pragmatic Play titles: Big Bass Splash, Gates of Olympus.

Pragmatic Play puts Wolf Gold, Sugar Rush, The Dog House, Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza forward on its own pages. What you see is the studio advertising its own catalogue. On the question of what any casino carries, and which of them have pages here, it is silent.
