Quickspin slots

What are Quickspin slots?

Quickspin is a video slot developer based in Stockholm. Reference listings date its founding to 2012, and the company has offices in Sliema, Malta, and Kyiv, Ukraine, alongside its Swedish base. It makes games for licensed online casinos, so you find Quickspin titles in a casino’s lobby rather than on a Quickspin site.

In May 2016 the studio was bought by Playtech (opens in a new tab), one of the largest suppliers of gambling software. Quickspin kept its own name and style, and our Playtech provider page covers the parent group. Today the catalogue runs to about 150 video slots, and the studio has added Quickspin Live, a separate live-casino product.

The common thread in Quickspin’s best-known games is a storybook look: fairy tales such as the Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks, a Japanese setting in Sakura Fortune, and cartoonish dwarfs and bandits. Those themes are aimed at adults who like polished presentation; the maths underneath is standard video slot design.

Quickspin history at a glance

Big Bad Wolf, probably the studio’s most famous game, isn’t dated in our checked data, so look at its help screen or the casino’s game information if the release year matters to you. For the wider story of how studios like this grew, see our online slot history.

Popular Quickspin slots compared

These are the Quickspin games in our checked data. RTPs marked “default” are the standard version; casinos can choose other approved versions.

You can read the full breakdowns on our pages for Big Bad Wolf, Sakura Fortune, Sticky Bandits, Dwarfs Gone Wild, Hot Sync and Phoenix Sun. Phoenix Sun is a good example of expanding reels: the rows grow from three to six, lifting the ways from 243 to 7,776.

Quickspin RTP versions and what they cost

Quickspin is one of several studios that supply the same game at different return levels. The casino picks one, and the game’s help screen must show it. Sakura Fortune shows how big the gap can be: our checked data lists a version up to 96.58% and another around 90%.

Here is what that difference means for 100 spins at £1, which is £100 staked:

The lower Sakura Fortune version costs roughly three times as much on average as the top one, for the same graphics and the same features. That is the strongest argument for checking the RTP every time. Our guide to RTP variants explains why studios make them, and reading slot RTP in the UK shows where to find the figure.

All these figures are averages over millions of spins. In a single session you can lose much more than the average, or come out ahead; the RTP never promises either.

Why Big Bad Wolf stands out among Quickspin slots

Big Bad Wolf’s 97.34% is the highest published RTP in our Quickspin data and is above the 96% many players treat as typical. Combined with medium volatility, it means a smaller average cost and somewhat steadier play than Hot Sync or Sticky Bandits. A 20p stake for 100 spins is £20 staked, with a long-run average cost of about 53p.

A higher RTP is not a better chance of a big win; it is a lower average price. If you want to know which games publish the highest returns across all studios, our page on which slot has the highest RTP keeps a comparison, and are high-RTP slots better? explains the trade-offs.

Quickspin max wins and UK stake limits

We don’t list max win multiples for Quickspin games because our checked data doesn’t confirm them. Each game’s help screen states the maximum win, usually as a multiple of the stake. To turn it into pounds, multiply by your stake: a 5,000x cap at 50p, for example, would be £2,500.

Your stake can’t go above £5 a spin if you are 25 or over, or £2 if you are 18 to 24, under limits set out in the Gambling Commission’s stake limit guidance (opens in a new tab). Our page on the 18 to 24 stake limit works through how casinos apply it.

How UK rules shape Quickspin games

Every Quickspin game offered by a UK casino follows the British design rules in force since 31 October 2021. You start each spin yourself because autoplay is banned, each game cycle lasts at least 2.5 seconds, and turbo and slam-stop are switched off. The game must not celebrate a win that is equal to or smaller than your stake, and it must show your balance and net position. Our UK slot machine rules guide brings these together.

There is no paid route into a bonus at UK-licensed casinos either, so British versions trigger features through play alone.

How to find and check a Quickspin slot

1. Search the casino lobby for Quickspin or a title such as Big Bad Wolf.
2. Before spinning, open the help or info screen and read the RTP shown.
3. Compare it with the published default; if it is several points lower, consider another game.
4. Check the maximum win and the feature rules in the same screen.
5. Set a time reminder and a deposit limit in your account before you play.

Quickspin slot myths and facts

• Myth: a high-RTP game like Big Bad Wolf will pay back most of a session. Fact: 97.34% is a long-run average; individual sessions vary widely.
• Myth: the same title always has the same RTP. Fact: casinos can run different approved versions, as Sakura Fortune shows.
• Myth: storybook graphics mean gentler maths. Fact: Hot Sync is rated high volatility despite its look; read the specification, not the art.
• Myth: a game that hasn’t paid for a while is about to. Fact: each spin is independent; see do slot machines remember past spins?

Who Quickspin slots suit

Quickspin fits adults who value presentation and prefer medium-volatility play, especially if they make a habit of checking RTP versions. For help shaping a budget, see our bankroll guide.

Where to play Quickspin slots

Game lists change and we don’t confirm which Quickspin titles our partners carry, so search each lobby first. All three are new-account offers for adults aged 18 and over, subject to terms.

Coral gives 100 free spins at 10p each on selected games after you deposit and bet £10 on slots, with 48 hours to accept, 7 days to use and no wagering on free spin winnings; the offer runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 February 2027. Ladbrokes gives up to 500 free spins, 50 a day for 10 days at 10p each, once you deposit and spend £10 on slots, also with no wagering; certain e-wallets and prepaid cards don’t qualify at either brand. PlayOJO gives 80 no-wagering free spins on Big Bass Bonanza, not a Quickspin game, for a first deposit of at least £10. Coral and Ladbrokes share an operator, so one person may not be able to claim both. More on our Ladbrokes casino page.
