Rogue games
Each of the three games below is built on one of the studio's own mechanics. At the same time, they all share the same volatility of 3 out of 5.
| Game | Mechanic | RTP | Volatility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wildfire West | Wildfire Reels | 96.03% | 3 out of 5 |
| Mega Laser Kitty Cubes | Interspace® | 95.79% | 3 out of 5 |
| Happily Ever After | Happy Endings® | 95.50% | 3 out of 5 |
Wildfire West is a Western built on the Wildfire Reels mechanic. The grid is 9×5, but a random 3×5 active area is selected on each spin. Wild arrows expand it and leave a trail of wilds behind them. Three bonus symbols trigger free spins, where the grid grows with each spin up to 9×5 and the multiplier up to x10. The RTP is 96.03%.
Mega Laser Kitty Cubes is a game about laser-wielding cats built on the Interspace® mechanic. Symbols fall in conjoined shapes, leaving gaps on the grid. A special cube either fills all the gaps with one symbol, making clusters bigger, or collects the cash prizes that landed in them. Three, four or five bonus symbols award 8, 10 or 13 free games, in which the grid is completely filled with cash icons. The RTP is 95.79%.
Happily Ever After is a fairy-tale slot built on the Happy Endings® mechanic. Any line win can receive a "happy ending", a multiplier of up to x10. A trail on the grid leads to one of five bonus games: Hansel and Gretel's witch hunt, Rapunzel's cash climb, Snow White's magic mirrors, Big Red's wolf hunt and Happy Endings free spins. The RTP is 95.50%.
Other games from the studio include Fuji San with the Fusion Reels mechanic, Stacking Kong with block stacking, Rave Up, where symbol payouts change from spin to spin, and Overdrive with splitting reels.

⚡ Verdict
Rogue suits players who are tired of identical slots and want to try something new: every game from the studio works differently. The games in this review have medium volatility, so they also suit calmer play. A good place to start is Wildfire West, whose floating active area is the easiest mechanic to grasp, while bonus lovers can try Happily Ever After with its five different bonus games.
