Quickspin casino games

Quickspin: from Stockholm start-up to Playtech studio

Quickspin was set up in Stockholm in the early 2010s; reference listings give 2012 as the founding year. The trading company is Quickspin AB, and the studio has since added offices in Sliema, Malta and Kyiv, Ukraine. In May 2016 it was bought by Playtech, one of the largest gambling technology groups, and it has run as a studio inside that group ever since.

Ownership by Playtech has not turned Quickspin into a general supplier. Its catalogue of about 150 video slots is still built around storybook themes, careful animation and features that are easy to follow. More recently the studio added Quickspin Live, a live casino brand, so its name now appears in two parts of a lobby.

Playtech is a separate company with its own range; this page covers only games carrying the Quickspin brand. The parent company’s own site is at playtech.com (opens in a new tab).

Quickspin casino games with published figures

The table lists the Quickspin slots in our verified records. Where a figure says default, the studio supplies other RTP versions too, and the casino chooses which one to run.

Goldilocks and Genie’s Touch are also among the studio’s best-known titles, but our records hold no verified figures for them, so we have left them out of the table rather than guess.

Why the same Quickspin game can pay back differently

Sakura Fortune is the clearest example. One version publishes up to 96.58%, and another runs at around 90%. Both are the same game to look at; only the maths differs. The difference matters over a long run of play.

Take £100 staked in total, for example 250 spins at 40p. On average over a very long run, the 96.58% version would keep about £3.42 of that; the 90% version would keep about £10. In a single evening luck dominates, but across months of play the lower version costs roughly three times as much per pound staked. Our RTP range glossary entry explains why studios supply several settings, and the rules on displaying RTP cover what a UK casino must tell you.

1. Open the Quickspin game at your casino.
2. Tap the menu or information icon, usually shown as an i or three lines.
3. Find the theoretical return figure in the rules section.
4. Compare it with the figures above to see which version you have.
5. If it is lower than you would like, choose a different game; you cannot change the version yourself.

What makes Quickspin casino games recognisable

Fairy tales are the obvious thread. Big Bad Wolf retells the Three Little Pigs, with cascading reels and pig symbols that turn wild as wins chain together. Goldilocks and Dwarfs Gone Wild draw from the same shelf. Phoenix Sun and Sakura Fortune move to myth and Japanese folklore, but keep the same polished animation.

Mechanically, Quickspin tends to favour features you can see building: reels that add rows, wilds that stick, respins that lock symbols in place. Phoenix Sun grows from three to six rows, lifting the ways from 243 to 7,776. Sticky Bandits uses a tall 5x5 grid with 30 fixed lines. Volatility sits mostly in the medium to medium-high band, with Hot Sync the high-volatility exception in our records.

Those choices make the games approachable if you are new to video slots, and they are usually readable without a long trip through the help file. That does not change the underlying odds; every spin is still random and the house edge applies.

Quickspin’s UK licence and how to check it

Quickspin holds a Gambling Commission licence under account 38516, which allows it to supply gambling software to British operators. You can find the entry by searching the Commission’s register of gambling businesses (opens in a new tab) for the account number or for Quickspin AB.

If something goes wrong with a game, your complaint goes to the casino first, not the studio. Our guide on how to complain about a casino sets out the steps.

UK rules that apply to Quickspin slots

Quickspin games at UK-licensed casinos follow the same design rules as every other slot. Since 31 October 2021 there has been no autoplay, a minimum of 2.5 seconds per spin, no turbo or slam-stop and no fanfare for a return equal to or below the stake. Those changes are summarised on our latest slot rules page.

Stake caps came later. Since 9 April 2025 the most anyone aged 25 or over can stake on one slot spin is £5, and since 21 May 2025 players aged 18 to 24 are limited to £2, according to the Commission’s stake limit guidance (opens in a new tab). On a 25-line game like Big Bad Wolf, a £2 total stake works out at 8p per line. Our pages on the £2 limit for under-25s and the autoplay ban explain the detail.

How to find Quickspin games at a UK casino

Lobbies differ, and our partner facts do not confirm which studios each casino stocks. The fastest route is to search for a title such as Big Bad Wolf. If the casino has a studio filter, Quickspin is normally listed under its own name rather than under Playtech. Demo versions are available only after you have logged in and passed age verification, a rule in place since May 2019.

Our casino lobby guide explains how search and filters usually work, and the online slots page gives a wider introduction.

Quickspin compared with other Nordic slot studios

Quickspin is the gentlest of the Swedish-founded studios on our site. ELK Studios builds more complex grids with higher volatility, while Yggdrasil leans on cinematic presentation and its own partner network. Just For The Win is another Swedish studio, distributed through Games Global. If you want a game you can understand in a minute or two, Quickspin’s catalogue is a sensible place to start; if you want maximum feature depth, the others go further.

Playing Quickspin slots within a budget

Medium volatility does not mean low cost. Treat any slot session as money spent on entertainment and assume you will lose it. A practical approach is to fix a session budget, divide it by your stake to see how many spins it buys, and stop when it is gone. £20 at 20p a spin is 100 spins, which at the minimum 2.5 seconds each is a little over four minutes of play. Our bankroll basics guide has more examples.
