====== Pragmatic====== ===== Overview ===== Pragmatic is the largest instant games provider we currently have in Aardvark. It features a vast array of instant games, each of which has unique features and graphical representation. ===== Game Process ===== Although all Pragmatic instant games differ in their design and graphics, their fundamental process is the same. The user has to select the sum he/she wants to bet, and then the instant start to spin automatically to determine whether the spin is winning or not. Every game features its own winning lines (paylines), i.e. lines that determine the winning amount of each spin. The user has to spin mostly three or more adjacent symbols from at least one of those lines in order to win. Although every game's win structure is different, all pays are left to right on adjacent reels. ==== Volatility Tiers ==== {{:online:pragmatic_volatility.png?nolink |}} Each Pragmatic instant game belongs to a volatility tier that determines the frequency and amount of payouts players receive. Volatility tiers range from 1 to 5 with 5 being the largest volatility the game can have. High volatility games pay out less often on average but the chance to hit big wins in a short timespan is higher. Each game's volatility tier and its RTP are included in each game's rules. ==== Multiways Games ==== Originally developed by Australian software studio Big Time Gaming in 2015, Megaways instant games feature a random reel modifier that creates additional paylines for each spin. While conventional video instant games have a fixed number of reels and paylines, the Megaways random reel modifier changes the number of symbols shown on a reel during every spin. There are usually six reels in Megaways instant games online and between two and seven symbols are shown per reel. While the number of symbols shown can change during a spin, the number of reels will stay fixed during the game. ===== Available Games ===== The following Pragmatic instant games are available: ^ Pragmatic instant games^^^^ | Piggy Bank Bills | Bigger Bass Bonanza | Yum Yum Powerways | Chilli Heat Megaways | | Rise of Giza PowerNudge | Fruit Party 2 | Chicken Drop | Book of Vikings | | Lucky Grace and Charm | Empty the Bank | 5 Lions Megaways | Lucky Lightning | | Dragon Hot Hold and Spin | Heart of Rio | Panda's Fortune 2 | The Magic Cauldron - Enchanted Brew | | Cash Elevator | Phoenix Forge | The Amazing Money Machine | Buffalo King Megaways | | Hot Fiesta | Floating Dragon Hold&Spin | Wild Booster | Power of Thor Megaways | | Juicy Fruits | Temujin Treasures | Fishin' Reels | Hot to Burn Hold&Spin | | Gates of Olympics | Joker King | The Hand of Midas | Eye of the Storm | | Dragon Kingdom - Eyes of Fire | Madame Destiny Megaways | Congo Cash | Emerald King Rainbow Road | | Mysterious Egypt | Voodoo Magic | Big Bass Bonanza | John Hunter and the Mayan Gods | | Spartan King | Christmas Carol Megaways | Cowboy's Gold | Book of Kingdoms | | Pirate Gold Deluxe | The Dragon Tiger | Gems Bonanza | Return of the Dead | | 5 Lions Dance | Emerald King | Wild Walker | Wild Wild Ranches | | Star Bounty | Ultra Hold&Spin | Curse of the Werewolf Megaways | Peaky Blinders | | Jungle Gorilla | The Dog House Megaways | Aztec Gems Deluxe | Great Rhino Deluxe | | Street Racer | Drago - Jewels of Fortune | Pyramid King | Three Star Fortune | | Starz Megaways | Ultra Burn | Fruit Party | Hot to Burn | | John Hunter and the Book of Tut | Great Rhino Megaways | Bronco Spirit | Fruit Rainbow | | Wild West Gold | Dance Party | The Wild Machine | Aztec Bonanza | | Golden Beauty | Mysterious | Master Joker | Super 7s | | Release the Kraken | Money Mouse | Magic Journey | Buffalo King | | Greek Gods | Sweet Bonanza Xmas | Hercules and Pegasus | Aladdin and the Sorcerer | | Honey Honey Honey | Fire Strike | Tree of Riches | John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen | | Super Joker | The Great Chicken Escape | Vampires vs Wolves | Hot Chilli | | John Hunter and the Aztec Treasure | Dragon Tiger | Monkey Warrior | Sweet Bonanza | | 5 Lions Gold | Triple Jokers | Pirate Gold | Caishen's Cash | | The Dog House | The Dog House Jackpot | Egyptian Fortunes | Wild Pixies | | Extra Juicy | Wild Gladiators | Safari King | Treasure Horse | | Mustang Gold | Leprechaun Carol | Triple Dragons | Ancient Egypt Classic | | Vegas Magic | Master Chen's Fortune | Da Vinci's Treasure | Peking Luck | | Leprechaun Song | Jade Butterly | Madame Destiny | Madame Destiny Jackpot | | Asgard | Asgard Jackpot | 5 Lions | The Champions | | Great Rhino | Joker's Jewels | Fire 88 | Fairytale Fortune | | Monkey Madness | Aztec Gems | Triple Tigers | Ancient Egypt | | American Blackjack | Wolf Gold 1,000,000 | Queen of Gold 100,000 | Panda Gold 10,000 | | Lucky New Year | Hot Safari 50,000 | Gold Rush 250,000 | Diamond Strike 100,000 | | 7 Piggies 5,000 | Chilli Heat | Gold Rush | Santa | | Panda's Fortune | 7 Piggies | Diamond Strike | Vegas Nights | | Wild Spells | Caishen's Gold | Pixie Wings | Jurassic Giants | | 888 Dragons | Gold Train | 8 Dragons | 3 Kingdoms - Battle of Red Cliffs | | Wolf Gold | Panther Queen | Queen of Atlantis | Irish Charms | | Queen of Gold | 888 Gold | Multihand Blackjack | Diamonds are Forever 3 Lines | | Dragon Kingdom | Hercules Son of Zeus | 3 Genie Wishes | The Catfather II | | Journey to the West | Beowulf | Lucky Dragons | Hockey League Wild Match | | Dwarven Gold Deluxe | Romeo and Juliet | Hot Safari | The Catfather | | Mighty Kong | Lady Godiva | Magic Crystals | Hockey League | | Aladdin's Treasure | Lady of the Moon | Tales of Egypt | Sugar Rush | | Roulette | Jacks or Better | Great Reef | Glorious Rome | | Dwarven Gold | Baccarat | 7 Monkeys | Starlight Princess | ^ Pragmatic Live Table Games ^^^^ | Sweet Bonanza CandyLand | Lobby Baccarat | Lobby Roulette | Dragon Tiger | | GAMESHOWS | Lobby Blackjack | Sic Bo & Dragon Tiger | Drops & Wins | | Other Promos | Mega Roulette | Baccarat 1 | Speed Baccarat 1 | | Mega Sic Bo | Mega Wheel | Speed Roulette 1 | Auto-Roulette 1 | | ONE Blackjack | Roulette 2 | Blackjack 14 | Roulette 8 - Indian | | Andar Bahar | Lobby | | | ^ Pragmatic Virtual Sports Games ^^^^^ | Fantastic League Football | Flat Horse Racing | Force 1 Racing | Greyhound Racing | Penalty Shootout | Virtual Sports Lobby | ^ Pragmatic Bingo Games ^^^^ | Reels Room | Snowball Blast | Bingo Blast | Sweet Bonanza Bingo | | Fair 'n' Square | Newbie | Lightning 90 | 90 Ball Bingo | | 80 Ball Bingo | 75 Ball Bingo | 50 Ball Bingo | 30 Ball Bingo | ===== Gaming Features ===== ==== Buyable Free Spins ==== {{ :online:pragmatic_buy_spins.png?nolink|}} A number of Pragmatic instant games allow online users to buy free spins without having to wait for them regularly. Free spins can be bought in select games for 100 times the amount of the stake. Once the user confirms that he/she wants to buy free spins, the game provides an automatic spin to fulfill the condition for free spins, and the feature begins. Some of the games that allow bettors to buy free spins include: * Starlight Princess * Gates of Olympus * Sweet Bonanza * Wild West Gold * Gems Bonanza * Chicken Drop * Lucky Lightning * The Hand of Midas * Temujin Treasures * Release the Kraken * Book of Vikings * and others Online users should note that bettors are not guaranteed to have a net positive return on their investment to buy free spins. === Increased Bet === {{:online:pragmatic_increased_bet.png?nolink |}} Some Pragmatic instant games that offer online users to buy free spins offer one additional feature as well - increased bets. Increased bets offer users a possibility to increase their stake beyond their wanted and/or maximum value in order to gain an advantage in each of the spins. Once a user selects the increased bet option, his/her chances to score a feature (and/or free spins) increase. The increase in most cases is 100%, i.e. the possibility for a user to score a feature win doubles. Some of the games that provide this feature are: * Empty the Bank * Hot Fiesta * Juicy Fruits * Gates of Olympus * and others Once this feature is selected, the user can no longer buy free spins. In order to be able to buy free spins feature again, the customers has to turn the increased bet feature off. ==== Local Jackpots ==== A significant number of Pragmatic instant games feature local jackpots where online users can spin additional prizes on top of the usual spin wins. The requirements to roll a jackpot vary from game to game, and each game features a different jackpot structure. For example, one instant game might require to spin all 5 symbols on any pay line, with the final symbol being a special wild (a featured example below), other games only feature jackpots during free spins rounds. Jackpot amounts depend on the bet amount the user has selected. Besides others, some of the jackpot amounts can be seen as follows: * Diamond Strike * Mini - 10X * Minor - 30X * Major -100X * Mega - 1000X * Lucky Lightning * Silver - 50X * Gold - 250X * Platinum - 10000X * Temujin Tresures * Mini - 28X * Minor - 88X * Major - 288X * Grand - 8888X * Amazing Money Machine * Mini - 25X * Maxi - 50X * Major - 500X * Grand - 5000X {{:online:pragmatic_jackpot.gif?nolink|}} ==== Bonus Spin Choice ==== {{ :online:pragmatic_spin_choice.png?nolink&200|}} A select number of Pragmatic Instant games feature a way for the users to choose the type of free spins he/she would like to receive. When a bonus feature and/or free spins are spun or bought, the user is then presented with two or more choices from which the customer has to select the type of spins that best suit him/her at the moment. The choice is mostly between a smaller multiplier and more guaranteed money, and a bigger wins multiplier and a slimmer chance of winning. ==== Win Multiplier ==== {{:online:pragmatic_win_multiplier.png?nolink&200 |}} A select number of Pragmatic Instant games feature a way for the users to multiply their wins each time they spin. Together with regular reels, online customers spin a separate bonus section, or reel, where additional bonuses are located. Each spin features a different multiplier and/or bonus, which helps keep the bettor engaged and interested in each spin. The bonus a user can encounter varies from game to game but in most cases the additional section features a win multiplier, bonus win, and/or free spins. ==== Tumble Wins ==== The Tumble Wins feature adds a significant twist to all customers' winnings. After each spin, the winning combinations are paid, and all winning symbols disappear. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom of the screen, and the empty positions are replaced with symbols coming from above. If new winning combinations appear on the screen after the filling of the empty positions, they are paid subsequently. * Tumbling continues until no more winning combinations appear as a result of the tumble. * There is no limit to the number of possible tumbles. * All wins are added to the player's balance after all of the tumbles resulted from a base spin have been played. {{ :online:pragmatic_tumble_win.gif?nolink|}}
