About Play'n GO

Play'n GO is a studio from Växjö in Sweden, with 298 slots in our library (November 2026). It is known for the expanding symbol in free spins and for games such as Book of Dead and Reactoonz. It is one of the studios on our slot providers list.

On its official site, the studio says it has more than 400 titles and regulated operators in more than 35 jurisdictions, and has been in business for over two decades. It lists three licences: the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA/B2B/225/2012, issued 1 August 2018), the UK Gambling Commission (account 55949) and Gibraltar (RGL 131). Its games are tested by labs including GLI, BMM Testlabs, iBAS and Quinel. At ICE Barcelona in 2025 it won RNG Provider of the Year at the International Gaming Awards (Yogonet).

Play'n GO signature features

Play'n GO has no single mechanic it owns; it has a few that return across series. The best known is the expanding symbol in Book of Dead: three book scatters award 10 free spins, one randomly chosen symbol is picked at the start, and it expands across the whole reel when it lands (Play'n GO). It belongs to the family of expanding wilds.

How the expanding symbol works, step by step

Book of Dead is a 5x3 slot with 10 paylines. Its Tomb symbol is both scatter and wild: it pays anywhere and substitutes for other symbols, and 3, 4 or 5 of them pay 2x, 20x or 200x your total bet. Three or more also reveal the book and award 10 free spins. Before the spins begin, one ordinary symbol is picked at random. After normal wins are paid on each free spin, that symbol expands to cover its whole reel, but only if that adds a prize, and expanded symbols do not need to sit side by side. Three more Tombs during the spins add 10 more.

The paytable is in multiples of your total bet with all 10 lines active: five Rich Wilde symbols pay 500x, five golden-pharaoh Osiris 200x, five Anubis or Horus 75x, and the card symbols between 10x and 15x. At 20 cent a spin, five Rich Wilde is €100 and a three-Tomb scatter is 40 cent. Filling all 15 positions with Rich Wilde gives the 5,000x maximum, which is €1,000 at 20 cent. A good free-spins round depends on a high-paying symbol being chosen, which is why results vary so widely between sessions.

Reactoonz and the cluster grid

The other idea is the cluster grid. In Reactoonz, a 7x7 grid pays aliens in groups, the winners vanish and new ones drop in, and a fully charged Gargantoon jumps to the middle of the grid; Reactoonz 2 adds a one-eyed alien that creates Electric Wilds to charge the meter; in Moon Princess, each cascade lifts the multiplier. In our library, at least 7 of its slots are tagged cluster pays, 8 cascading reels, 11 multipliers and 10 free spins.

Play'n GO RTP and volatility profile

Across the 66 Play'n GO slots with a published RTP, the average is 95.63%, the median 96.2%, with a range of 93.99% to 96.59% (November 2026). That is an average over the studio, not one game, and it sits below our library median of 96.33%. Only 1 of the 66 is below 94%.

The bigger lever is the RTP version the casino picks. Book of Dead exists at 96.21%, 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% and 84.18%. Take €20 as 100 spins at 20 cent: on average the top version returns €19.24 and the lowest €16.84, a gap of €2.40 over the same play, or 12 percentage points across a longer session. With 20 euro a night, that is the difference between a game that lasts and one that drains faster. Open the game info in the casino before you stake.

Only 62 of the 298 slots have a volatility rating. Of those, 38 are high, 61%, 21 medium and 3 low.

What people search. In Ireland, "book of dead" gets about 170 searches a month and "play n go" 50, "play n go slots" 20 (November 2026). People look for the game, not the studio, which is why the games above matter more than the name.

The Irish theme. 8 Play'n GO slots carry an Irish, leprechaun or four-leaf clover tag: Leprechaun Goes Wild, Leprechaun Goes Egypt, Leprechaun Goes to Hell, Irish Gold, Leprechaun's Vault, Shamrock Miner, Leprechaun's Diamond Dig (August 2025) and Buildin' More Bucks (December 2025).
