| Traditional tables | 120 | 140 | +20 |
| Game shows | 15 | 22 | +7 |
| Virtual sports | 40 | 45 | +5 |
| Others (lotteries, mini-games) | 1,795 | 2,018 | +223 |
Largest growth came from slots (+1,200), still the product core. Also notable the addition of 7 new Evolution and Pragmatic Live game shows.
Providers β entries and exits
Tracking provider changes over the last 12 months:

Boutique provider known for high-volatility slots (Razor Shark, Jammin' Jars). Added 35 initial titles, today 70+ available on Playio.
newRelax Gaming premium package
Added full Relax package (Money Train series, Hellcatraz, Snake Arena). Provider appreciated for innovative bonus mechanics.
newHacksaw extension
Hacksaw, already present, doubles the Playio catalogue: from 35 to 80+ titles. Includes day-one exclusives like Cthulhu (May 2026).
changeELK Studios stable, no changes
ELK remains stable with the existing catalogue (Wild Toro 2, Crystal Catcher). No new ELK releases in 12 months, potential growth area.
infoPragmatic Live net update
Pragmatic Play Live integrated into live cashback (promo change). Added 4 new tables (Mega Wheel Live evolution, Sweet Bonanza Candyland variants).
newRTP version β the silent changes
The most important and least communicated pattern. Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO and other providers offer casinos multiple "RTP versions" of the same slot. Playio can change the used version without disclosure obligation (transparency is respected via the slot info panel, but it's not announced).
12 RTP version changes tracked in the last 12 months (rotating sample of 30 slots/month):
| Slot | Provider | From | To | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gates of Olympus | Pragmatic | 96.50% | 94.50% | Jul 2025 |
| Sweet Bonanza | Pragmatic | 96.50% | 94.50% | Aug 2025 |
| Big Bass Bonanza | Pragmatic | 96.71% | 96.71% | = (stable) |
| Book of Dead | Play'n GO | 96.21% | 94.21% | Oct 2025 |
| Wanted Dead or a Wild | Hacksaw | 96.38% | 96.38% | = (stable) |
| Mental | Nolimit | 96.08% | 96.08% | = (stable) |
| Sweet Bonanza 1000 | Pragmatic | 94.50% | 96.50% | May 2026 (upgrade!) |
Pattern: Pragmatic and Play'n GO show more movement, Hacksaw and Nolimit remain stable on canonical versions. The May 2026 change on Sweet Bonanza 1000 is a rare upgrade (from 94.50% to 96.50%), the first we've noticed in 12 months of tracking.
Live casino β catalogue changes
Three notable changes in live casino over the last 12 months:
- January 2026 β Italian croupiers available 18:00-02:00 CET (previously only 18:00-22:00). +4 hours of Italian coverage.
- March 2026 β Pragmatic Play Live integrated into cashback. Now Pragmatic live games generate cashback at 25% wagering 1x, previously exclusive to Evolution.
- April 2026 β Evolution high-stakes table reshuffle: now separated from standard ones, with queue-free access for bets >β¬500.
Jackpots β the stable pattern
Progressive jackpots are the most stable category. Main networks: Mega Moolah (Microgaming), WowPot (Microgaming), Pragmatic Drops & Wins (Pragmatic). Tracked changes:
- Mega Moolah was won twice in 12 months: once at β¬11.8M (Apr 2025), once at β¬7.2M (Jan 2026). Pool now restarting from about β¬5M.
- Pragmatic Drops & Wins extended to June 2026 with global β¬2 million prize pool distributed across Pragmatic slots.
- Added 15 new minor jackpots (Red Tiger daily) in the integrated package in September 2025.
Day-one exclusives
Playio had 5 day-one exclusives in 12 months (slots available first week):
- Cthulhu (Hacksaw) β May 2026
- San Quentin xWays 2 (Nolimit) β Feb 2026
- Money Train 4 (Relax) β Mar 2026
- Sweet Bonanza 1000 v2 (Pragmatic) β Apr 2026
- Wanted Dead or a Wild (Hacksaw) β was exclusive in 2024, now consolidated
Emerging pattern: Playio tends to have exclusives in boutique providers (Hacksaw, Nolimit, Relax) rather than global big names (Pragmatic, NetEnt). Strategic positioning towards "premium volatility" players.
