Coming soon. Vermin King is announced for 22 Oct 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 has released steadily for the UK market since 2015, giving a long and checkable track record
- The release date of 22 October 2026 is already confirmed, so there is no vague launch window to wait on
- A catalogue of around 904 games provides plenty of material to judge the studio's quality and release consistency
- Play-money demos for Pragmatic Play slots run the real game on virtual credit at no cost, with no account needed
What does not
- None of this game's core specs (RTP, volatility, grid, paylines, mechanic, features, max win and stake range) are published yet
- Vermin King is not confirmed to match the studio's strong very-high-volatility lean, so session character is unknown until the spec sheet lands
- The mechanic is not on record, so whether the game draws on Megaways, jackpot structures or something else entirely is unconfirmed
- No stake range is published, making minimum and maximum bet sizes unknown ahead of release
01
What Vermin King is and when it lands
Vermin King is a new slot from Pragmatic Play, a Gibraltar-based studio that has held a UK Gambling Commission licence since its founding in 2015 and releases games on a consistent schedule for the UK market. The game is confirmed for UK-licensed casinos on 22 October 2026, and that date is the sole timing fact the studio has published so far.
Beyond the date, none of this game's specs are on record. Pragmatic Play has not published the RTP, volatility rating, grid, payline count, mechanic, feature list, max win multiple or stake range for Vermin King. Every one of those fields will be added here once the studio releases it.
That accounts for every spec this desk tracks for a new slot. With none on record, the rest of this page draws on the studio's verified catalogue data to give an honest picture of the developer behind the title, without guessing at numbers that are not yet available.
Vermin King reaches UK-licensed casinos on 22 October 2026.

What to expect from a Pragmatic Play release
Here is what Pragmatic Play's published catalogue record tells us, across the studio's output as a whole:
- Catalogue size: around 904 games in total since 2015, with 261 carrying a confirmed release date on record
- RTP across the 115 catalogue titles that publish a figure: median 96.5%, average 96.24%, ranging from 94.5% to 98.04%
- Volatility across 120 rated titles on the studio's 1-5 scale: 97 sit at Very high, 13 at High, 9 at Medium and 1 at Low; Very high is the clear majority by a wide margin
- Mechanics on record: Megaways in 66 titles, jackpot or progressive structures in 20, tumbling reels in 2, bonus-buy options in 2
- Leading themes by title count: Asian (67 games), Animal (54), Fruit (46), Halloween (44), Fish (41), Egyptian (32)
None of those figures are Vermin King's own specs. Pragmatic Play has not confirmed that this game will follow its typical catalogue patterns, and the real RTP, volatility, mechanic and feature set will be published by the studio on release.
For a sense of the range inside those averages: named titles in the studio's catalogue include Thunder vs Underworld, The Dog House - No Dog Left Behind, Big Bass Boom, Lucky Phoenix and Ratinho Sortudo. A strong lean towards Very high volatility is a consistent house trait, but themes and mechanics vary considerably. Whether Vermin King lands in familiar territory or takes a different direction will only become clear once the spec sheet is out.

How to play Vermin King
A free play-money demo runs the same game code as the real-money version, but on virtual credit. You stake nothing, open no account and make no deposit. It is a practical way to learn a slot's layout, watch its features activate and decide whether the pace and style suit you before putting real money at risk.
The real-money version of any slot is available only at UK-licensed casinos once the game has been released. Pragmatic Play's wider catalogue, including Jade Legends, Death Dominion, Cheetah Wild and Cosmic Clusters, runs on the same play-money model and gives a clear sense of the studio's presentation and range.
A play-money session costs nothing and carries no financial risk, which makes it the most efficient way to judge a new release against a player's existing favourites before committing a real stake.

Vermin King FAQ
When does Vermin King come out?
Vermin King is scheduled for release at UK-licensed casinos on 22 October 2026. That is the only timing information the studio has confirmed so far. Exact availability may vary by casino platform, but the date itself is set.
What is the RTP or max win for Vermin King?
Neither figure has been published by Pragmatic Play, and both will be added here on release. For context, the median RTP across 115 Pragmatic Play titles that publish one sits at 96.5%, with a catalogue range of 94.5% to 98.04%. Vermin King is not confirmed to fall anywhere in that range.
Is the Vermin King demo free?
A play-money demo runs the real game on virtual credit, with no deposit, no registration and nothing staked. It is a standard format across released Pragmatic Play titles that lets you see the layout and feature triggers without any financial commitment. The mechanics shown are identical to the real-money version.
What kind of games does Pragmatic Play make?
Pragmatic Play has been releasing slots since 2015 from its Gibraltar base, building a catalogue of around 904 games. The studio leans heavily towards Very high volatility: 97 of its 120 volatility-rated titles sit at the top of the scale. Common themes include Asian, Animal, Fruit and Halloween. It also carries a large Megaways portfolio of 66 titles and 20 jackpot or progressive releases.
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.
