Quickspin slots

Quickspin slots in short

Quickspin is a Swedish slot studio, Quickspin AB, based in Stockholm, with further offices in Sliema, Malta, and Kyiv, Ukraine. Reference listings date its founding to 2012. Playtech bought it in May 2016, and it still releases games under its own name. Its catalogue runs to roughly 150 video slots, and it also has a live casino range sold as Quickspin Live.

In Great Britain it holds Gambling Commission account 38516, and in Malta licence MGA/CRP/137/2007, which together allow licensed casinos here to carry its games.

The Quickspin house style: stories told through features

Plenty of studios borrow fairy tales for artwork. Quickspin builds the story into the mechanics. In Big Bad Wolf, the pigs and the wolf each have a job in the maths; in Goldilocks, the bears are central to the free spins feature. The result is games that are easy to follow because the theme explains what the feature will do.

The other house trait is moderation. Most Quickspin games sit in the medium or medium-high volatility band, with modest paytables and features that land often enough to keep a session moving. That makes them a natural contrast with high-ceiling studios such as Nolimit City.

Best-known Quickspin slots compared

Goldilocks and Genie’s Touch are also among the studio’s best-known games; we don’t yet hold verified figures for them. Note Sakura Fortune: the gap between its top version and the roughly 90% version is the widest in this table, so the help screen check matters.

Big Bad Wolf’s 97.34% RTP: what it is worth

Big Bad Wolf’s published return of 97.34% is well above the roughly 96% many modern slots publish. Here is what that gap means at 20p a spin over 500 spins, £100 staked:

Over the long run, a 97.34% game is expected to cost about a third less than a 96% game for the same play. It is still a cost: the house edge applies and any session can end below its starting balance. And the figure only holds if the casino runs that version; check the help screen.

How Quickspin features work: two examples

Big Bad Wolf: Swooping Reels and wild pigs

Big Bad Wolf uses Swooping Reels, Quickspin’s name for cascading reels: winning symbols vanish and new ones fall into place, giving another chance to win on the same stake. After two consecutive swoops, the pig symbols turn wild. In free spins, collected moon symbols let the wolf blow down the pigs’ houses, adding wilds.

Phoenix Sun: a grid that grows

Phoenix Sun starts as a 5×3 grid with 243 ways. Winning combinations involving its phoenix wild unlock extra rows, up to six, raising the count to 7,776 ways for following respins. It is a clear example of a game whose hit rate changes during play.

What Playtech ownership means for Quickspin players

Playtech, founded in 1999 in Tartu, Estonia, and headquartered in Douglas, Isle of Man, is one of the largest casino software suppliers and is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Owning Quickspin since 2016 gives the studio access to Playtech’s casino customers, which is one reason its games are widespread in UK lobbies.

For players the practical effect is small. Quickspin games keep their own branding, maths and help screens, and they are tested and certified as separate titles. Some lobbies file them under Playtech, so if a Quickspin filter isn’t available, search by game name.

How to choose a Quickspin slot

1. Decide whether you want a steady session (medium volatility) or a swingier one (medium-high or high).
2. Shortlist from the table: Big Bad Wolf or Phoenix Sun for steady play, Hot Sync or Sticky Bandits for more swing.
3. Open the game’s help screen at your casino and confirm the RTP; Sakura Fortune in particular has a much lower version.
4. Try the age-verified demo to see how often features land.
5. Set a deposit limit and a budget before playing for real money.
