Coming soon. Coven Rising is announced for 17 Sep 2026, but Pragmatic Play has not published its RTP, volatility, max win or features yet. What follows is grounded in the studio's track record, not this game's own specs. The desk plays it from launch day and the real numbers replace this the moment the studio publishes them.
What works
- Pragmatic Play holds a UK Gambling Commission licence and a catalogue of roughly 904 games, giving this release a credible, regulated pedigree.
- The release date of 17 September 2026 is confirmed, so you know exactly when to look.
- The studio publishes steadily for the UK market and its titles appear at a wide range of UK-licensed casinos.
- A free play-money demo runs the real game engine on virtual credit, a useful way to learn the layout and bonus behaviour without any financial exposure.
What does not
- No RTP has been published for Coven Rising, so there is no way to compare it against other releases on that figure.
- Volatility, max win, grid size, paylines and stake range are all outstanding; the core figures for session planning are missing until the studio publishes them.
- Mechanics and features have not been announced, so there is nothing published on how the game plays.
- The studio's catalogue leans heavily toward very high volatility, but Coven Rising is not confirmed to follow that pattern or any other.
01
What Coven Rising is and when it lands
Coven Rising is a newly announced slot from Pragmatic Play, a Gibraltar-based studio founded in 2015 that holds a UK Gambling Commission licence. Its release date is 17 September 2026, which is the one timing fact the studio has confirmed.
Beyond the name, the studio and the release date, none of this game's own specs have been published. RTP, volatility, grid size, paylines, mechanic, features, stake range and max win are all outstanding, and will be added to this page when the studio puts them on record.
Every spec for Coven Rising (RTP, volatility, grid, mechanic, stake range and max win) is unpublished; the studio's catalogue record is the honest proxy until release.
That means the section below draws entirely from Pragmatic Play's wider output, framed as the studio's catalogue record rather than anything confirmed about this specific game.
02
What to expect from a Pragmatic Play release
With none of Coven Rising's own specs on record, the honest picture comes from Pragmatic Play's wider catalogue. Here is what that record shows:
- Catalogue size: roughly 904 games, of which 261 carry a dated release, one of the larger active catalogues available at UK-licensed casinos.
- RTP across the studio's output: a median of 96.5% across 115 titles that publish a figure, ranging from 94.5% to 98.04%, with an average of 96.24%.
- Volatility lean: of 120 rated titles, 97 are classed very high, 13 high and 9 medium; low and low-to-medium are rare in the studio's catalogue.
- Mechanics on record: 66 Megaways titles, 20 progressive or jackpot games, 2 tumbling-reel titles and 2 bonus-buy titles across the full catalogue.
- Top themes: Asian (67 titles), Animal (54), Fruit (46), Halloween (44), Fish (41) and Egyptian (32) lead the studio's output by count.
Coven Rising is not confirmed to match any of these figures. Its own RTP, volatility and mechanics have not been published, and a studio's typical numbers are no guarantee for any individual title.
For a sense of the studio's range, Pragmatic Play titles include Thunder vs Underworld, Big Bass Boom and The Dog House - No Dog Left Behind, a spread that shows the studio covers very different settings and mechanics across its output.

How to play Coven Rising
A free play-money demo runs a slot's actual game engine on virtual credit. Nothing is deposited, no account is required and nothing real is at stake. It is a practical way to check a game's layout, learn how bonus rounds are triggered and judge whether the pace suits you, all without financial exposure.
The real-money game reaches UK-licensed casinos on 17 September 2026. UK-licensed casinos operate under Gambling Commission rules, which govern things such as autoplay and feature-buy availability; those rules sit with the casino rather than the game itself.
Because no specs for Coven Rising are on record yet, there is nothing to compare in advance on RTP or volatility. Once the studio publishes those figures, they will appear here. The full verified review follows the same process as every other title on this site: the game is played with real money at a UK-licensed casino, checked line by line against the published specs, and a person reads the piece end to end before it goes live.

Coven Rising FAQ
When does Coven Rising come out?
Coven Rising is confirmed for release on 17 September 2026 at UK-licensed casinos. That is the only timing detail the studio has published. Full verified specs and a review will be added to this page after the desk has played the real-money game and checked it against the published spec sheet.
What is Coven Rising's RTP and max win?
Neither figure has been published by Pragmatic Play for this game and both will be added here on release. Across 115 titles in the studio's catalogue that do publish an RTP, the median is 96.5% and the range runs from 94.5% to 98.04%; Coven Rising is not confirmed to land anywhere in that band.
Is the Coven Rising demo free?
A free play-money demo runs the real game engine on virtual credit. There is no deposit, no account is needed and nothing real is at stake. It is the same underlying game as the real-money version, which makes it useful for learning the layout and how bonus rounds are triggered before committing real funds.
What kind of games does Pragmatic Play make?
Pragmatic Play is a Gibraltar-based studio founded in 2015, holding a UK Gambling Commission licence, with a catalogue of roughly 904 games. Its most common volatility rating across 120 rated titles is very high. Top themes include Asian, Animal, Fruit and Halloween, and the studio has released 66 Megaways titles and 20 progressive or jackpot games.
How we build this pageOUR METHOD
- The desk plays what there is to play, with its own money. A released slot is played for real at a UK-licensed casino, and the demo above is the supplier's real GB build, loaded straight from their server, so what the desk opens is what launches. Either way, what it sees on screen is checked against the RTP, max win, volatility and features the studio has published. A game that is not out yet, with no demo to open, cannot be played, and its page says so.
- The article is then written up from those verified facts by our own tooling, which is what keeps every release on the site current and consistent. Specs come from the studio's own release sheet and the game's paytable, never from a sister title or a guess, and a number nobody has published is left blank rather than filled in.
- A person then reads every article end to end, for facts, structure and quality, and edits it where it is not up to standard. It publishes under the byline above, and that person owns its accuracy and any corrections. We change the date when the facts change, not to look fresh.
- Spotted something out of date? Every page shows the day we last checked it. Tell us and we will fix it and log the change.
