BigBunny Pragmatic Play Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Pragmatic Play is covered on this page as a studio, with no attention to any operator that carries it. The company’s own material and public regulator records are where this comes from.

Who Pragmatic Play is

A catalogue size is not published. Ask the studio for a title count and you get none, as it states no such number.

Licences the studio holds

The register of holdings for Pragmatic Play reads Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current. A player’s recourse runs through the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s, because a studio licence differs from an operator licence: it covers the company making the games rather than the casino offering them.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Licence MGA/B2B/619/2018 has Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited as its holder. For the casino vertical, the B2B Critical Supply Licence has the status Licensed, which the MGA’s own verification portal confirms, as opposed to Pragmatic’s site.
• UK Gambling Commission — Active status is confirmed on the UKGC public register for licence 056015-R-332216-005, account 56015, held by Pragmatic Play (Gibraltar) Limited.
• PAGCOR — historical, and no longer current — Pragmatic Play made public, in September 2016, that it had a PAGCOR offshore gaming licence. That entire framework has since been abolished in the Philippines, with PAGCOR confirming the cancellation of all offshore licences, which had to expire by 31 December 2024. Still online, the announcement from 2016 continues to be cited as current. It is not.

Pragmatic Play in the Philippine market

Holding a PAGCOR offshore licence since 2016, it saw that regime abolished as of the end of 2024. Because nothing is stated by Pragmatic about its current Philippine status, the 2016 announcement is not repeated here and the status is treated as unresolved.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 6 Pragmatic Play titles: Sweet Bonanza, Big Bass Splash, Sweet Bonanza 1000, Gates of Olympus 1000, Gates of Olympus, Wild West Gold.

Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, The Dog House, Wolf Gold and Sugar Rush are all titles Pragmatic Play itself features on its own pages. This is the studio plugging its own catalogue. Which of them any casino carries is left unsaid, and so is which have pages here.

Whether Pragmatic Play publishes RTP

On its own game pages Pragmatic Play puts out a return-to-player figure, so any RTP quoted for one of its titles traces back to the studio and not to an aggregator.

Pragmatic puts out a single RTP per title on its game pages, and that figure sits at the top of a set. Pragmatic’s pages do not disclose the lower configurations, but independent records show that most titles ship in three, selectable by the operator: Gates of Olympus 1000 runs at 96.50 / 95.51 / 94.50 per cent and Sweet Bonanza 1000 at 96.53 / 95.52 / 94.51. What a quoted Pragmatic RTP reflects is therefore the best configuration on offer, and not necessarily the one a given operator is running.

This matters more than it sounds. Without a primary source behind it, a return-to-player figure is only as good as that source, and a number repeated between comparison sites is not evidence of anything.
