The youngest game’s date as a studio yardstick
On 12 October 2026 we checked when each studio released its slots in the Dukat.bet lobby. A single game decides the position – the youngest of those the lobby really held that day. Whoever has the newer one ranks higher.
The date comes from the studio’s game page, an official news item or a press release; if the studio says nothing, two independent sources must agree. On a tied date, the studio name decides alphabetically: Hacksaw Gaming and Pragmatic Play share 1 October 2026, Endorphina and Red Tiger share 30 September 2026.
Released games missing from the lobby on 12 October do not count, nor does a maker’s game count in the lobby (we do not publish it).
We count the global release; an earlier exclusive date is listed separately, and the day a game arrived in the lobby is unknown to us – the piece on release dates explains why.
Ten slot makers and their two youngest lobby games
The second game checks the rhythm: frequent releases, or a one-off?
| # | Studio | Newest game in lobby | Date | Second newest | Date | Source type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BGaming | Witchcraft Riches | 5 Oct 2026 | Divine Queen: Power of Sun | 1 Oct 2026 | studio (official) |
| 2 | AvatarUX | Pots of Power: Dragon's Blessing | 2 Oct 2026 | Pots of Power: Mummy's Treasure | 18 Sep 2026 | studio (official) |
| 3 | Hacksaw Gaming | Le Vampire | 1 Oct 2026 | Dr Zappo | 29 Sep 2026 | studio (official) |
| 4 | Pragmatic Play | Forever Split Megaways | 1 Oct 2026 | Gates of Olympus 2500 | 28 Sep 2026 | 2 independent sources / studio (official) |
| 5 | Endorphina | Bazaar Monkey | 30 Sep 2026 | Minotaur ReBurn | 24 Sep 2026 | studio (official) |
| 6 | Red Tiger | Stormfire | 30 Sep 2026 | Thor's Rage 2 | 24 Sep 2026 | studio (official) |
| 7 | Slotmill | Dead Man's Crew | 29 Sep 2026 | Carnival Joker | 8 Sep 2026 | studio (official) |
| 8 | Amigo Gaming | 1000 Amigo Monkeys | 25 Sep 2026 | 88 Ace Royale | 17 Sep 2026 | studio (official) |
| 9 | Thunderkick | Serpentico Smash | 11 Sep 2026 | Midas Golden Touch: Thunder Pots | 26 Aug 2026 | studio (official) |
| 10 | Platipus | 3 Volcanoes Blast | 10 Sep 2026 | 3 Royal Bags Super | 20 Aug 2026 | studio (official) |
For Pragmatic Play, the first source type refers to the key game, the second to Gates of Olympus 2500. Game names are data points only, not a verdict.
What lies behind each studio’s date
1 · BGaming – the 5 October 2026 date sits right in the “Release Date” field of the game page. The brand debuted in 2018 (the company traces itself to 2012) and is based in Valletta. The younger Red and Hot Chilli (7 October) was not in the lobby on the snapshot date.
2 · AvatarUX – both games belong to the Pots of Power series. The studio gives no founding year; its history only mentions a first game from 2019. 5 Power Joker (9 October) is not in the lobby yet.
3 · Hacksaw Gaming – two games two days apart; it ranks ahead of Pragmatic Play only on the alphabet. Le Bandit Hold & Win from the lobby came out earlier (exclusive on 31 August, wide release on 15 September 2026 according to two independent sources), so it does not change the key. Wicked Grin (8 October) is not in the lobby.
4 · Pragmatic Play – there is no press release for the key game; two independent sources confirm the day. The second game has an official announcement dated 28 September. Beware the page’s publication date: the Gates of Olympus 2500 page dates from 10 September, but the game came out about two and a half weeks later.
5 · Endorphina – the game page has no date field, so the day comes from an official release article. The studio says it has been active since 2012 and is registered in Malta; Monstroland (8 October) is missing from the lobby.
6 · Red Tiger – the studio’s data also gives the key game an earlier exclusive date of 23 September; the ranking uses the global 30 September. Red Tiger was founded in 2014, and Cocks and Robbers (7 October) is not in the lobby.
7 · Slotmill – three weeks separate its two games. Founded in 2019 with an office in Stockholm, the studio had released nothing newer by 12 October; Ribs Golden Crypt is announced for 20 October.
8 · Amigo Gaming – the game page shows only the month (“September, 2026”); the exact day comes from the official news. It does not publish a founding year and is based in Larnaca, Cyprus.
9 · Thunderkick – the Stockholm studio (started in 2012) has also released Hot Potato Battleground (23 September) and Bjorn (9 October). Neither was in the lobby on 12 October. Bjorn would have put the studio first; Hot Potato Battleground alone would not have changed the order – 23 September is still earlier than Amigo Gaming’s 25 September.
10 · Platipus – the date is right on the game page. The studio mentions a 2014 founding and a seat “in the EU” with no city; Hot Chili Cash (8 October) is missing from the lobby.
How much studios reveal about their games
For one fresh game per studio we also noted what the official game page shows.
| Studio | RTP versions | Volatility scale | Max win | Public calendar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BGaming | a single figure (Witchcraft Riches 96.68%) | verbal, from Low to Very high | yes, in euros (250,000 EUR) | de facto: dated pages for upcoming games |
| AvatarUX | 3 versions | verbal (Medium / High) | yes, as a multiple | de facto: dated pages for upcoming games |
| Hacksaw Gaming | 4–5 versions (Le Vampire 97–86%) | numeric N/5 | yes (15,000×) | not found |
| Pragmatic Play | a single figure (96.58%) | not on the page | only in the description text | partly: quarterly press release |
| Endorphina | a single figure (96.08%) | verbal | in the description and FAQ | no, release articles only |
| Red Tiger | a single figure (96.15%) | numeric index (32.32) + hit frequency 47.78% | yes (25,000×) | yes, roadmap page |
| Slotmill | 2 variants | verbal | yes (10,000×) | partly |
| Amigo Gaming | not published | verbal | “Multiplier” field (x2500) | no |
| Thunderkick | a single figure (94.18%) | verbal | “max exposure” (5,000×) | yes, upcoming games page |
| Platipus | not published | verbal | not published | no |
Even when a studio shows only one RTP, a casino may still receive a lower configuration. Check the version at Dukat.bet in the game rules (more under RTP versions).
A roadmap lets you estimate when a studio’s position might move, but not when a game reaches the lobby.
Lobby studios we could not assign a date to
The ten are not a full list of slot makers in the lobby. For other studios we did not obtain date data, so they have no position – this is not a judgement of their games.
- Mascot Gaming – its game pages give no release date.
- Belatra – its only dated title in the lobby, PingWin Fly (17 September 2026, official), is a crash game tagged “Slots”, and a second one is missing. As a reserve it would sit between Amigo Gaming and Thunderkick.
- Playson and NetEnt – their game lists load via script and we did not process them.
- Kalamba, Booongo, Gamzix, PG Soft, Booming, BetSoft, Popiplay, GameBeat – we had no quick official dated source in this round.
- Spinomenal – it is in the lobby (when connecting from both Slovakia and Hungary), but the studio’s official site was inaccessible to us, so we got no release data for the date.
- Playtech – it appears in the list when connecting from Hungary; here too we got no dated data for the snapshot.
The lobby line-up depends on the country you connect from, and the provider lists from Slovakia and Hungary differ slightly.
For Play'n GO the lobby shows only the studio name and no games, and on 12 October 2026 we did not find Quickspin from any connection country – details are on the page about studio availability.
A fresh date is no mark of quality
The key measures a single point on the timeline. It does not say who makes more interesting games, who has a higher RTP or who has more titles in the lobby.
Sample calculation with fictitious numbers – not Dukat.bet data: maker A releases six games in a month, the lobby carries two of them, and the younger came out on the 20th. Maker B releases a single game on the 22nd, and it appears in the lobby. B ranks higher, although the lobby has twice as many new titles from A – and one more game from A is enough to flip the order.
This top ten can shift just as fast: already released games (Bjorn, 5 Power Joker, Wicked Grin) may enter the lobby, and the studios at the top may go quiet.
A higher position is therefore no reason to play.
How we correct and refresh snapshots is described in our methodology. The games themselves, sorted by release, are in the overview of the newest slots.
Slots Bonus with games from these ten studios
One offer covers slots from all ten makers: Slots Bonus – 500% up to 3,000 EUR + 15% Cashback. Toward its wagering, Dukat.bet’s general rules count slots at the full 100% (see 2.14).
Point 2.15, however, excludes a long list of slots and all jackpot slots – go through it before you play. Under 2.7 a default stake cap of 5 EUR applies during wagering, bonus round purchases included, and under 2.9 the bonus runs for 14 days by default.
