Notable 2026 slot and live-casino launches, checked against studio sources

Studios have spent 2026 moving their best-known slot and board-game brands into new formats, from Pragmatic Play's Gates of Olympus Roulette to Evolution's Hasbro-licensed MONOPOLY Roulette and Hacksaw Gaming's first crash game. We checked every title in this round-up against the studio's own game page or press release, and list only the figures the studios publish. Where a studio does not state an RTP, a release date or a volatility rating, we say so rather than fill the gap.

This round-up covers launches from April to September 2026, plus one December 2025 sequel. It is not a ranking and nothing here is a paid placement.

How we checked this list

For every game we opened the studio's game page or official press release and took the release date, return to player (RTP), maximum win and main feature from there. Where the studio page is silent on a figure, we used reputable trade press and name it, or we mark the figure as not stated. Two titles from our earlier version of this article did not survive the check and have been removed: one had no RTP or release date on the studio's page and a different theme from the one we described, and the other turned out to be an established game rather than a 2026 launch.

RTP is a long-run theoretical average, not a forecast for a single session. Our RTP and volatility guide explains how to read it.

Pragmatic Play's two summer slots

Fury of Anubis

Pragmatic Play released Fury of Anubis on 25 June 2026. It is a 6x5 tumbling-reels slot in which 8 to 12 or more matching symbols pay from anywhere on the grid. Each consecutive winning tumble doubles a multiplier shown above the reels, up to 1,024x, before it resets at the start of the next spin. Three to six scatters trigger 10 free spins with a starting multiplier of 8x to 64x, and players can gamble that starting value for a chance to double it, up to 256x. Pragmatic Play gives the win potential as 10,000x and the RTP as 96.52%.

Sanatorium Secrets

Sanatorium Secrets is a horror-themed slot that GamblingNews reported as released on 2 June 2026. On its game page Pragmatic Play describes 1x4 expanding wilds on reels 2 to 5 with multipliers up to 8x, and fiery 2x4 wilds on reels 3 and 4 with multipliers as high as 64x. Hook symbols on the first and sixth reels turn high-paying symbols on their row into wilds. Three scatters award six free spins, plus two for each extra scatter, and a puzzle respin game plays out first to set the minimum wild multiplier for the free spins. Completing the whole puzzle awards the maximum win. The studio lists the RTP as 96.47%. GamblingNews gives the grid as 6 reels and 4 rows with 4,096 ways, the maximum win as 10,000x and the volatility as medium.

Das xBoot 2wei!: Nolimit City's extreme-volatility sequel

Nolimit City's submarine sequel is titled Das xBoot 2wei! on the studio's site. It had exclusive early access from 9 December 2025 and a general release on 16 December 2025, so it is a late-2025 game rather than a 2026 one. The six-reel grid starts in a 2-3-4-4-3-2 layout with 576 ways and can grow to 2-4-8-5-4-2. Nolimit City lists an RTP of 95.94%, a maximum payout of 59,999 times the bet, a hit frequency of 21.75% and the odds of hitting the maximum win as 1 in 25.3 million. Its xNudge wilds, xWays and xBomb features return from earlier Nolimit City games, and three bonus modes are unlocked by three, four or five scatters. The studio describes the volatility as extreme, with payouts that "might be sparse".

Live casino: slot and board-game brands move into the studio

The clearest trend on the live side this year is familiar brands being rebuilt as live games. Pragmatic Play announced Gates of Olympus Roulette on 9 April 2026. Each round assigns one Bonus Number and up to seven Lucky Numbers carrying 50x to 250x multipliers on straight-up bets, and a Super Booster can raise them by 2x to 10x for base-game wins of up to 2,500x. Landing on the Bonus Number opens a 6x5 slot bonus round that starts with 15 spins, with multipliers of up to 500x and a top prize of 10,000x. Neither the press release nor the game page states an RTP.

Evolution began releasing games from its Hasbro licensing deal. MONOPOLY Roulette, launched on 3 June 2026, assigns up to seven MONOPOLY bonus symbols to straight-up numbers each round; hitting one sends Mr. Monopoly around a virtual board collecting prizes and multipliers of up to 5,000x, while a Community Chest bonus reveals a multiplier of up to 300x. MONOPOLY Roll 'em, launched on 15 July 2026, is a two-dice game on a 12-square board with multipliers of up to 300x. On 9 September 2026 Evolution launched Disco Balls, a ball-drawing game in which multipliers build during the main round and can carry into two bonus games, with total multipliers of up to 10,000x. At ICE Barcelona in January, Evolution said it planned to release 119 live and RNG games in 2026.

Pragmatic Play also added Color Game Bonanza on 5 August 2026, a game show in which players predict the colours of three six-sided dice. One match pays 1:1, two matches pay 2:1 and three matching colours trigger a bonus round with instant prizes of up to 50x and a Jackpot Round worth up to 3,000x.

Moneyplane: Hacksaw Gaming's first crash game

Hacksaw Gaming, known for slots and instant-win games, launched its first crash game, Moneyplane, on 7 September 2026. Players bet before take-off and choose when to cash out as the multiplier rises, before the plane crashes. Each flight is shared among the players in it, the maximum win is 10,000x the bet, and players can open several bet panels in one round. Hacksaw says the game launches with five RTP configurations ranging from 92% to 98%, which means the RTP a player actually gets depends on the version the operator chooses.

The launches at a glance

Dates are the studio's release or announcement date unless a trade source is named. "Not stated" means we could not find the figure on the studio's own pages on 24 September 2026.

What is confirmed and what is not yet known

• Confirmed: the release dates, features and headline multipliers above, each from the studio's own page or press release, except where the table names GamblingNews.
• Confirmed: the slot RTPs for Fury of Anubis (96.52%), Sanatorium Secrets (96.47%) and Das xBoot 2wei! (95.94%), and Moneyplane's 92% to 98% range.
• Not published by the studios: RTPs for the new live games on the pages we checked. Live-game RTPs are normally in each game's help screen, which you can open before betting.
• Not known: which RTP version a given casino runs. Where a studio offers several settings, the operator picks one.

What it means for players

Big headline multipliers such as 10,000x or 59,999x describe the rare top outcome, not typical play; Nolimit City's own 1 in 25.3 million figure for its maximum win shows how rare that can be. Before playing any new release, open the in-game rules to check the RTP version you are actually on, and compare it with the studio figure using our RTP checker. If a new title comes with a free spins offer, the terms on our free spins page show what the spins are worth,, and the bonus hub lists the wagering attached to each offer. For the live games, our explainer on how live game shows work covers how multipliers are funded. Treat new games as entertainment with a set budget, and take a break if it stops being fun.
