Reel Kingdom

Company Overview

Reel Kingdom is centred around creating online slots, which they have been pushing out at a steady pace ever since the company was established in 2015. The company is located in Cardiff, United Kingdom. They hold the local UK Gambling Commission licence, in addition to Malta Gaming Authority licence.

The obvious claim to fame this slot producer holds is the Big Bass series of slots, which have proven quite popular in online casinos across the world. There’s more to the catalogue than this, with new releases introduced monthly. The company hasn’t really ventured beyond slots yet, save for a single crash game.

One of the defining factors for this company is their partnership with Pragmatic Play, which happened around 2020. Most of their new titles are distributed and released through the company, which has allowed Reel Kingdom to spread their games into hundreds of online casinos.

Let’s see what sort of gaming you can expect!

Online Slots

Reel Kingdom originally operated in land-based casinos, though it didn’t take them long to make the transition into online productions. The team behind everything has considerable experience, and they have put it all to good use. The games are supported in dozens of languages, certified across all major markets, and available for use in various currencies.

Before we look at the whole selection, it’s best to take a look at their most famous games: that of the Big Bass Series. It currently covers over a dozen titles, each with their own little twist. The first one was called Big Bass Bonanza, released in 2020. It was followed by Big Bass Bonanza Megaways and Christmas Big Bass Bonanza in 2021, with two further titles released in 2022, and a whole plethora of them in 2023 and 2024. This includes Big Bass Crash Game.

The original game is quite simple, with a theme centred around fishing and RTP that was pretty much industry standard. The wins were quite conservative, at least when compared to the massive pots available in most high volatility slots of today. The dominating special feature was a combination of money prizes and bonus spins.

The Megaways version doubled the prize pool and obviously changed the way the wins are calculated. It also added multipliers to the bonus spins. Subsequent titles have all done things a bit differently, ranging from simply adding a bit to the theme to offering a massive 10 000 win pot like in Big Bass Amazon Xtreme, or Big Bass Bonanza Hold and Spinner with its special features.

All of this guarantees that there is a version out there of Big Bass that is sure to come with the exact specials and bonuses that you’re looking for. The series remains quite popular, and is even expanding beyond the genre of slot games.

But now, let’s take a look at other popular slots from Reel Kingdom:

• Floating Dragon

Another slot that has seen a fair bit of success, leading to also having different versions like one with Megaways and another with Hold & Spin. Featuring high variance and high wins, the main attraction comes from the various special features, such as respins, multipliers, and bonus spins.

• Year of the Dragon King

The theme itself is quite standard when it comes to the subject matter, but luckily the game itself makes up for this. There is a pot of 5000 times the stake available, and the way to it is best realised through the mini slot bonus games. Multipliers are of course included.

• Good Luck & Good Fortune

Well, it’s something you always need when playing slots, which makes this a very fitting theme. Scatter turns out to be a very valuable piece in this slot, as is the wild. Not only for special features, but for the prizes they pay out. Bonus spins and multipliers are included.

• Ultra Hold & Spin

Another Hold & Spin slot, this time with a very traditional set of symbols. This is an easy three reel game, with just 5 paylines. The special money spins trigger the hold and respins feature, with the respins resetting as long as wins keep piling.

• Pizza! Pizza? Pizza!

Rather than going for the traditional paylines, this slot opts for ways to win, spread across a slice of pizza that functions as the reels. And true to the theme, there’s plenty of dough in play, with the top win being over seven thousand times your bet. Money symbols, bonus spins, and valuable wilds are the main attractions in this game.

• Demon Pots

This slot doesn’t experiment too much, instead relying on the standard 5x3 setup, albeit with 40 paylines. Wilds and respins work together to create winspins, where the wilds stay on spot as long as the feature keeps going. Each spin is guaranteed to give a random win. You’ve also got some bonus spins with multipliers for certain wins.

• Eye of the Storm

If you’re looking for a game set in Ancient Egypt, this slot from Reel Kingdom is a good choice. It offers bonus spins with wilds that increase the count of spins, and upgrade the symbols at the same time. If all goes according to plan, this can result in wins ten thousand times the bet.

• Hot to Burn Extreme

A bit more extreme version of the original Hot to Burn, featuring much higher volatility and considerably bigger wins. The game is played on extended reels, with forty paylines, and of course symbols and a theme that is fit for classic fruit gaming. You can win up to twenty bonus spins.

• Rock Vegas

You’ve got the normal Hold & Spin, and then you’ve got the Mega Hold & Spin. Obviously, this slot is using the latter mechanism. The feature is triggered with scatters, which enlarges the reels and gives player respins that reset every time the right sort of symbols land on the reels. And these are upgradeable for even bigger wins!

• Tic Tac Take

Get ready to win both ways from these ten paylines. And when you get to the respins, the setup changes to that of a tic tac toe, and you can connect wins in all the familiar ways for the game. As usual, you can expect high volatility paired with high wins.

• Emerald King Rainbow Road

An Irish theme for a change, and we can tell you that the pot of gold in this one is real. One of the biggest in fact when it comes to Reel Kingdom slots. Hit the Rainbow Road, go for the Pick Me bonus, or play the Emerald King mini slot bonus game!

• Snakes & Ladders Megadice

An interesting mix of influences, from the retro graphics to the actual board game. Yes, you get to throw the dice and move up the ladders, and unfortunately slide down the snakes. This feature is awarded via a progressive feature, so make sure to play this game at the same online casino.

• Return of the Dead

One of those slots that are centred around a book, adventurers, and as usual some Egyptian influences. As is the case, the bonus spins are blessed with special expanding symbols, chosen at random. Not a unique game by any means, but something that presents the company well in its niche.

• Lamp of Infinity

A familiar setup, though missing the central character we’re all used to from the stories. Nevertheless, there’s plenty more action on the reels to supervise and enjoy. You have the choice of buy feature or extra bets, or go without them and aim for the bonus spins with expanding wilds and added multipliers.

• Little Gem

Hold & Spin seems to be a very popular mechanic with Reel Kingdom, as it is featured on the reels once more. This is a pretty easy game to get into, with just three reels of three symbols each, combined with five paylines. Perfect for those who love a bit of classic slot gaming.

Common Characteristics

Whether we are talking about the iconic Big Bass -series of slots or the other slot products from this company, we can conclude that they are pretty entrenched in the original format of slot gaming. However, not exceedingly so. We’re not saying these are just going to be three reel slots with fruits and bells as symbols.

Rather, it’s mostly sticking to the five reel format, bonus spins, multipliers, and wilds with different modifiers. Occasionally they have the three reeler, and here and there the normal paylines are replaced with other options like Megaways, both ways pays, or ways to win. There might be something extraordinary every now and then, whether that’s reel setups or bonus features, but for the most part Reel Kingdom trusts in these tested methods.

Of course, each game is different from one another. The easiest way to ascertain this is by simply looking at the top wins. They are different in almost every game, which means that the mathematics behind them are always fresh, and not simply copied from one game to another.

The company hasn’t really jumped into the wagon of unique mechanics. They do use Hold & Spin quite a lot, but even that comes from Pragmatic Play rather than Reel Kingdom. There’s no need to always offer surprises and innovate. Sometimes it’s enough to stick to the basics and hone it to the next level. And the company seems to have those reels pretty tightly locked down.

Interpretation

The status that Reel Kingdom seems to have achieved is that of a trusted partner of Pragmatic Play. We’re not exactly sure where that places the company, as you often see their games actually marketed under the brand of the latter. Are they a smaller studio designing games for a bigger company, are they actually part of the company, or are they just using the tools and platforms available to make the most of their slots. It’s hard to say.

And at the end of the day it doesn’t make that big of a difference.

What matters is that this company has managed to produce a series of interesting slots, and create a brand for itself amongst players who prefer the standard experience. There’s a pretty heavy overlap when it comes to big wins too. Most of these games can easily outcompete most other slots out there. Reel Kingdom slots are definitely something to try out if you are at all interested in simple core aspects, as they used to be.
