Rival
slots

Rival dates back to 2004, which makes it one of the older names on our list. We do not hold a head office location for the studio, so we are not going to guess at one.

On our data source the catalogue runs to 193 games. Only 33 of those carry a dated release, with the oldest on file from 30 September 2024 and the newest dated 29 October 2026.

Across the dated titles the pace looks steady rather than spiky: 7 in 2024, 16 in 2025 and 10 in 2026 so far. That is a working release schedule, not a burst.

Fifteen Rival titles on our data source publish an RTP figure. The median across those is 96.16% and the average 96.17%, against a field average of about 95.7% for the studios we track, so the published numbers sit a touch above the run of the market.

The spread matters more than the average. Rival's published figures run from 94.6% at the bottom to 97% at the top, so the title you pick moves the number far more than the studio name does.

Volatility tells a clearer story. Of the 12 rated titles, 8 land at very high on the 1-5 ladder, with 2 at medium and 2 at low, and nothing in between.

One thing worth knowing before you chase a number: the same slot can ship at more than one RTP setting, and the operator chooses which one it runs. Always check the figure in the game's own info panel at the casino you are playing rather than assuming the headline rate.

If you are sorting by published RTP, Astrochimp leads our data source at 97%, followed by Souls of the Dead at 96.71% and Shake Your Mummymaker at 96.56%. Slotty Claus (96.31%), Crazy Clover Cash (96.27%), Super Hoopers - Xtreme Power Pots (96.25%), Forest of Forbidden Treasures (96.2%) and 888 Dream Dragon (96.16%) fill out the top of the list.

The themes cluster around a few familiar corners: Halloween is the most common with 12 titles, then Adventure and Animal on 8 each, Horror on 8, Asian on 7 and Nature on 6.

Of the games we track and can link to our own review, the newest is Trollheim, released on 30 July 2026.

Set against the 80 studios we track, Rival lands in the upper third on size and slightly above the middle on RTP:

• Catalogue size: 193 games ranks 23 of the 80 studios we track.
• RTP: an average of 96.17% against a field average of about 95.7%, so above the field.
• Volatility: the very high lean is common rather than distinctive, since 21 of the 53 rated studios we track lean the same way.

Where a demo is available we lead with it, because a play-money round is the real game with the real maths, just without your money on the line. It is the quickest way to find out whether a very high volatility title suits how you like to play.

In Great Britain you will hit an age gate before a demo loads, since free play is 18+ the same as real money. That check is standard and applies whichever studio made the game.

The catalogue figures on this page are computed from the Rival titles listed on our data source, and each statistic only counts the games that actually publish that field. That is why the RTP figure rests on 15 titles and the volatility split on 12, rather than all 193.

The reviews are separate. Those come from the individual releases the desk sits down and plays, which is a small current slice of the catalogue, so we are not claiming to have played everything Rival has made.

When the underlying data changes, the numbers here change with it. If a figure looks off against what you see in a game's own info panel, trust the panel.
