Evoplay Entertainment
Evoplay Entertainment — provider review
Evoplay Entertainment was founded in 2017 with the aim of reshaping how the industry thinks about iGaming. The studio has consistently backed that ambition with three technological firsts: the industry's first mass-market 3D/VR slot, the first third-person shooter with manual controls, and the first 3D racing game — and it's this streak of firsts that makes Evoplay recognisable in the market.
Today the team has grown to 200+ specialists with offices in Limassol and Warsaw, and the studio's games attract more than 8 million players monthly worldwide. The portfolio spans six categories at once — slots, instant games, table games, classic games, bingo, and lottery — a breadth that's uncommon for a single provider.
💡 Evoplay by the numbers
120+ certified games, presence in 100+ countries, support for 22 languages, and compatibility with all major devices — from desktop and Android to iOS.
Three industry firsts
💡 Necromancer (2018)
The industry's first mass-market 3D/VR slot, which immediately made the shortlist for Best Gaming Innovation at the SBC Awards 2018.
💡 Star Guardians (2021)
The industry's first third-person shooter with manual controls — the year's flagship release, launched alongside the company's rebrand.
💡 Adrenaline Rush (2024)
The industry's first 3D racing game, unveiled at a dedicated event in Malta as the flagship title of 2024.

Evoplay games: from slots to video poker
It's rare for a single provider to cover four different game categories in one highlight lineup. For operators, that means covering several content types through one partner instead of integrating multiple studios. Evoplay pulls this off thanks to a genuinely multi-genre portfolio: two video slots, an instant game, and the table game Video Poker:
| Game | Category | RTP | Volatility | Max win |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Animal Quest | Video slot | 96.11% | High/Medium | €79,125 |
| Reign of Dragons | Video slot | 96.03% | Medium/Low | €62,625 |
| Caramelo Dog: Lucky Run | Instant game | 96.00% | — | €750,000 |
| Video Poker | Table game | up to 95.79% | Low | €18,750 (one hand) |
Animal Quest — a video slot on a 5×4 grid with 40 paylines and an adventure theme. Big symbols trigger respins and become sticky along with regular symbols of the same character, while during free spins gold symbols can substitute for any other symbol with a multiplier from x2 to x5.
Reign of Dragons — a video slot on a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines, where four different scatter characters trigger their own unique free-spin features — from turning symbols into wilds to synchronising reels. Landing two masters at once triggers 5 free spins with combined effects.
Caramelo Dog: Lucky Run — an instant game following a dog named Taco making his way through a city full of random obstacles. Players choose their difficulty level before the round starts: the higher the risk, the higher the potential reward, and a Cash Out feature lets you lock in your current result at any moment.
Video Poker — a classic table game where you can play up to 5 hands at once, raising your chances of a winning combination. Auto Hold automatically holds winning cards after the deal, which pairs neatly with Autoplay.
