CG Games
slots

CG Games was founded in 2013 and works out of a head office in Stockport. That makes it one of the longer standing names in our list by founding date, even though the catalogue we can see is small.

On our data source the catalogue stands at 25 games. Nine of those carry a dated release, and the dates sit close together: the oldest on file is 4 November 2024 and the newest is 30 July 2025.

Across that window the pace works out at 3 dated titles in 2024 and 6 in 2025, close to one a month. That is a steady trickle rather than a production line, and it is the pace of a small team shipping a game at a time rather than a studio filling a release calendar.

Worth flagging honestly: there is a long gap between a 2013 founding and a first dated release of late 2024, and 16 of the 25 titles carry no release date at all. The feed is capturing a recent slice of output, so treat the release pace as a picture of the last year rather than the studio's whole history.

The themes that repeat most across the catalogue are traditional ones:

• Fruit: 3 games
• Adventure: 2 games
• Sports: 2 games
• Asian: 2 games
• Coin: 1 game
• Diamond: 1 game

Fruit leads, which fits a studio building recognisable, low friction machines rather than chasing licensed concepts. Those tagged themes only account for 11 of the 25 titles, so the rest of the catalogue is spread thin across one off ideas or carries no theme tag on our source.

Across the 9 titles that publish a return to player figure, the median is 96.04% and the average is 96.01%. The studios we track average about 95.7%, so CG Games sits above the field on both measures.

The median and the average landing within a few hundredths of each other is itself useful. It means no single outlier is dragging the number, high or low, so the 96% figure describes the typical CG Games slot rather than an average distorted by one generous release.

The gap to the field is roughly three tenths of a percentage point. In practice that is small money over a short session and only meaningful over volume: on £1,000 of total turnover it is a theoretical difference of about £3, so it is a reason to prefer a title, never a reason to expect a result.

The full range runs from 95.52% to 96.33%, a spread of roughly eight tenths of a point. That is fairly narrow, and the important part is where the floor sits: the lowest RTP we can see is still close to the field average, so there is no deliberately stingy tier in what we track.

One caveat that applies everywhere and matters more when a spread is this tight. The same slot can ship at more than one RTP setting depending on the casino hosting it, so the figure on our source is the published number for the build we can see. Check the game's own info screen before you spin, because a 0.8 point swing between versions of a catalogue is easily undone by picking the wrong setting.

Volatility is where the data runs out. Only 2 of the 25 titles carry a rating on the 1 to 5 ladder, one Medium and one Very high, which is a split rather than a lean. We are not going to call a house style from two games.

What those two ends mean for a session is worth knowing anyway. A medium rated slot pays in a steadier drip of small wins, so a balance moves in shallow steps and a fixed bankroll lasts longer, while a very high rated one runs long dry spells broken by rare large hits, which asks for more spins and more patience before the maths shows itself.

Until more of the catalogue is rated, the honest advice is to read each game individually rather than assuming a CG Games title will behave like the last one you played.

The top of the RTP table is led by Diamonds In The Sky at 96.33%, with Diamond Blitz behind it at 96.11% and Red Beard Treasures at 96.05%. Bullseye Blitz and Fruity Blitz share 96.04%, and Fortune Panda closes the list at 96%.

Look at what that list implies. Every one of the eight titles we can rank sits at or above 96%, which means the 95.52% floor of the range belongs to the single ranked title outside this group, and that the large majority of the RTP publishing catalogue clears the field average.

Two of the adventure titles, Arizona Smith and the Temple of Riches and Layla Carter and the Pharaoh's Gold, land on an identical 96.01%. Matching figures like that usually point to a shared maths target across a series rather than per title tuning, and the same pattern shows in the Blitz named games clustered within a few hundredths of each other.

Our own reviewed slice is small and we would rather say so than dress it up. The desk currently tracks and can link a single CG Games release, Island of Riches, against a catalogue of 25 games.

So read the two things separately: the statistics above come from the studio's catalogue on our data source, while the review below comes from a game we have actually played. One is coverage of the feed, the other is coverage of the slot.

Set against the 80 studios we track, three comparisons hold up:

• Catalogue size: 25 games, which ranks 70th of the 80 studios we track.
• RTP: an average of 96.01% against a field average of about 95.7%, so above the field.
• Volatility: 21 of the 53 studios we have a lean for tilt Very high, so high variance is a common trait across the field rather than a distinguishing one.

The character that falls out of those numbers is a small studio with better than average returns. CG Games is not competing on output, sitting near the bottom of the field for catalogue size, but the money side of what it does ship is consistently a little kinder than the average slot we track.

The caution is sample size. An average built from 9 titles can move noticeably on the strength of two or three releases, where a studio with hundreds of games has a figure that barely shifts, so treat the RTP edge as a real but provisional point in its favour.

With a catalogue this small and this lightly rated, a demo is the sensible way to meet a CG Games slot. The demo runs the real game on play money: the same reels, the same maths model and the same features, with nothing of yours at stake.

That is enough to answer the practical questions. How often the base game pays something, how long the features take to arrive, whether the pace and the interface suit you, and whether the theme holds your attention past a few dozen spins.

What a demo cannot show is how the same game feels with your own money across a real session, when a losing run costs something and the temptation is to chase it. Play money removes exactly the pressure that changes how people bet.

For this studio the demo does extra work. With only 2 of 25 titles carrying a volatility rating there is no house lean to fall back on, so a few hundred demo spins will tell you more about a specific game's rhythm than the catalogue statistics will. Demos on GB facing sites sit behind an age check, so you need to be 18 or over to load one.

Modern slots are built mobile first and scaled up to desktop rather than the other way round, so a phone is the intended screen and not a compromise. The demos run in a browser tab, with no app and no download involved.

The UK rules ride with the build, not the device. The minimum 2.5 second spin, the ban on autoplay and the stake caps that apply to online slots are baked into the GB facing version of a game, so they behave exactly the same on a phone as they do on a laptop.

The statistics on this page are computed from the CG Games catalogue on our data source, and each figure only uses the titles that actually publish it. That means 25 games in the catalogue total, 9 with a published RTP, 9 with a dated release and just 2 with a volatility rating, which is why the RTP section carries weight and the volatility section carries a warning.

The reviews are separate. They come from the individual releases the desk plays, currently a single CG Games title, so we make no claim to have played the catalogue and we would not want that inferred from the numbers above. When the source data changes, or when we play more of the catalogue, these figures change with it.
