Rarestone Gaming games
The studio's main series is Fire Blaze. It is built on the Hold and Respin mechanic: prize symbols lock in place, and respins help collect new ones. The series' games feature four in-game jackpots — Mini, Minor, Major and Grand. They are tied to the bet rather than being shared progressive jackpots.
The series later expanded with Mega Fire Blaze, Fire Blaze Golden and Fire Blaze Quattro, while the original games became known as Fire Blaze Classics. According to Playtech, Blue Wizard and Sky Queen are among the series' most successful games in Europe. Other Playtech studios also make Fire Blaze games, so not every game in the series is a Rarestone title.
The studio's second notable series is Oink Oink Oink, which, according to the studio's head, Rarestone is developing as its own franchise. The first game came out in 2024, followed in 2025 by the sequel Oink Oink Oink: Pharaohs with three bonuses: each of the three pigs — red, green and blue — has its own feature. The red pig triggers a Match Three game with one of four fixed prizes, the green one triggers free spins with a chosen main symbol, and the blue one triggers a bonus reel with cash prizes and a chance to move into other features. Oink Oink Oink: Piñatas was released in 2026.
Other games from the studio include Eternal Lady, Pharaoh's Daughter, Jinfu Long, Jinns Moon and Gold Pile Toltec Treasure.
