In the last couple of years, we see a clear trend where players are seeking slots that massive payout prizes.
They seek prizes that can be as high as a million $€.
Why are players suddenly looking for those kinds of wins? Their hunger for big-paying slots is fueled by social media, where more and more streamers are boasting their enormous wins. Streamers get tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of likes and shares, and before you know it, everybody is talking about getting those incredible mindblowing wins.
Whereas, a few years ago, a player would be happy with a win of say 100x or 200x the bet it is now a consolation prize only. Nowadays, players aim for a win of 1,000x the bet or even 5,000x the bet. Or even a monstrous wins of 20,000x the bet!
Are these massive wins possible and realistic with Pragmatic Play slots?
Of course, chances of landing these extraordinary wins are not so big, but it is possible. The streamers have proven it, and on the internet, such incredible wins are often recorded.
So, this is what real gambling is all about, not about getting small wins but about getting massive wins.
The million-dollar question is, whether these wins are possible with Pragmatic Play slots. We see that Pragmatic Play has released more and higher variance slots.
The picture below confirms this. The red coloured parts of the bars represent the high variance slots and the orange coloured bars the mid-high variance slots.
You can see that the number of volatile slots released by Pragmatic Play, has increased spectacularly, especially since 2018.
The top 10 high variance Pragmatic Play slots
Below we list our top 10 most volatile Pragmatic slots.
In contrary to the famous slots as Book of Dead (Play ‘n GO) or Dead or Alive (Netent), the Pragmatic Play slots do not have such a track record.
For starters, these Pragmatic Play slots are not as popular and, as a result, less played. It is not surprising that not as many massive wins have been recorded.
Book of Dead or Dead or Alive are slots that were already released some five years ago when you could count the number of really high volatile slots on the one hand. These slots, therefore, became well know and were played often. As these were played often, many massive wins were recorded. As this happened, more and more gamblers were even more keen to play these slots. It’s like a rollercoaster. The result is that these slots are seen as very volatile.
It does, of course not mean, that the Pragmatic Play slots are less volatile. It’s just that these slots are not widely known and, therefore, still need to make ground.
Curious to know the most volatile Pragmatic Play slots? Let’s not wait any longer!
1. Buffalo King – a bullish top prize of 93,750x the total bet!
Payout rate: 96.06%
Variance: Extremely High
Maximum win: 93,750x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.40
Maximum bet: $€60
With Buffalo King, the game is played on a 6 x 4 grid, with 4,096 ways to win. Here you can get up to 100 free spins. Imagine getting such a large number of free spins and (almost) a full screen of high symbols.
If you manage to get buffaloes on all reels in combination with 2 or 3 wilds with multipliers (2x, 3x or 5x), then you can get ready for wins of hundreds or even thousands of times your bet.
Of course, chances of bagging a win of such magnitude are improbable. But maybe not the wins of say 5,000x the bet. Time will tell, but for now, we dare to put this “beast” on our number 1 spot!
The maximum stake is $€ 60 per spin, but many casinos will most likely reduce that. The exposure would otherwise be way too high. If you spot that the casino reduces the maximum bet, you know that the slot is extremely volatile.
2. Extra Juicy – Pragmatic Play knows how to make slots juicier
Payout rate: 96.52%
Variance: Very High
Maximum win: 60,000x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.10
Maximum bet: $€50
Extra Juicy was released in 2019 and Pragmatic Play is clearly following the 2019 trend of releasing insanely high volatile slots. This slot has a maximum win of 60,000x the bet.
The slot, a simple fruit slot, looks very simple. Many fruit slots players perhaps missed the variance of those kinds of slots. So, here is what they have been looking for!
The slot has progressive multipliers up to 60x, and it is possible to win up to 60 free spins.
3. Peking Luck – A maximum win of 180,000x the bet is entirely surreal, isn’t it?
Payout rate: 96.50%
Variance: Very High
Maximum win: 180,000x the bet!!!
Minimum bet: $€0.25
Maximum bet: $€125
A 100% surreal maximum win of 180,000x the bet. That is, in a few words, what this slot is all about.
With Peking Luck, you can get yourself up to 38 free spins, and these can be retriggered. Then you can win multipliers up to 18x. If you have a high multiplier and manage to get a screen of wild symbols? In that case, you got your life-changing win.

4. Triple Dragons – or should we say dragon blasts fire?
Payout rate: 96.51%
Variance: High
Maximum win: 1,000x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.05
Maximum bet: $€50
Triple Dragons was released in 2018 and also relatively new. Here, Pragmatic Play opted for a simple but highly effective slot.
The slot is played on 3 reels with 3 symbols (like the old fashioned slots), and there are 5 paylines. Three wild dragons yield you a win of 200x the bet. A full screen, therefore, yields 1,000x the bet (as there are 5 paylines).
Now you may wonder why we have selected this slot in our top 10 list. For starters, Pragmatic Play has earmarked this slot as a high variance slot (5 out of 5 for volatility).
But more importantly, the variance is not only about the maximum potential win, but also about how often these wins are paid out. We have every reason to believe that the dragons are in a good mood, more often than you can imagine!
It helps that these dragon wilds are stacked, of course.
5. Triple Jokers – like Triple Dragon, very volatile, as high wins are paid out relatively often
Payout rate: 96.47%
Variance: High
Maximum win: 1,000x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.05
Maximum bet: $€50
Triple Jokers (released in 2019) has, like Triple Dragons, a classic fruit slot machine setup: 3 reels with 3 rows of symbols and 5 paylines. The symbols are classic as well: BAR symbols, 7’s, clocks.
This slot is mathematically more than similar to Triple Dragons. Also, here the maximum win is 1,000x the bet and also here, we expect that the maximum win is paid out relatively often.
Instead of stacked dragons, you have stacked jokers. Worthwhile having a go?!
6. John Hunter and the Secrets of Da Vinci’s Treasure – the maximum win is as impressive as this slot’s name
Payout rate: 96.53%
Variance: High
Maximum win: 48,000x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.25
Maximum bet: $€125
With Da Vinci’s Treasure, you need to be adventurous and patient. But if you are, you can get yourself the progressive Multiplier Free Spins, which is where “where the magic happens”.
Here, you start with 12 free spins, and the starting multiplier is x1. After each free spin, the multiplier is increased by +1, up to a maximum of 60 x. As it is possible to retrigger the free spins, it is possible to get 60 free spins and, therefore the maximum x60 multiplier.
If you are, then, able to get yourself a full screen of John Hunters shows up, you’ll win the maximum prize of 800 x 60 = 48,000 x your bet!
Surprisingly, the maximum stake is still $€125. With the maximum win of 48,000x the bet, you are talking about a potential win of $€6 million! Most casinos have a lower maximum stake though.
7. Ancient Egypt – one of the first releases in 2018 that set the tone in terms of variance
Payout rate: 96.51%
Variance: High
Maximum win: 5,000x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.10
Maximum bet: $€50
Ancient Egypt has 5 reels with 3 symbols and 10 fixed paylines. The symbol you are looking for here is the Cleopatra symbol. She is the most popular person in this slot, like she also was in the ancient Egyptian time.
In this slot, the expanding scatter symbols give you a helping hand. If you manage to get 5 scatters on all 5 reels, you have a full screen of scatters. If these scatters change into the lovely Cleopatra’s, you got your maximum win of 5,000x the bet.
8. Panda’s Fortune – when you get yourself a screen of Panda’s you know that something special is going on
Payout rate: 96.17%
Variance: High
Maximum win: 20,000x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.25
Maximum bet: $€125
Panda’s Fortune has massive potential when it comes to winning high prizes. Pragmatic Play qualifies this slot as a high variance slot (5 out of 5) and it helps that the maximum win is a dazzling 20,000x the bet.
With the maximum possible bet of $€125, it is possible to bring home a win of $€2.5 million! If you are talking about life-changing wins…
How do you achieve this? Well, you need to win 25 Jackpots (of 800x the bet) in a row. It is theoretically possible. Chances are, of course, extremely minimal. But maybe you settle for 5 Jackpots in a row?
9. The Dog House – every dog has its day, especially in this high variance slot
Payout rate: 96.51%
Variance: High
Maximum win: 6,750x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.2
Maximum bet: $€100
The maximum win on The Dog House is a more than impressive 6,750x the bet. With a maximum stake of € 100, you can get a win of almost $€675K.
The game is played on 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols, and there are 20 fixed paylines. It is possible to get up to 27 free spins, and wilds have in-built multipliers. In combination with some premium symbols (the dogs of course), it can go sky-high very very quickly.
Of course, your balance can go down very quickly as well. It is, in the end, a very volatile slot.
Who let the dogs out? Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!
10. Pirate Gold – Are you the next King of the seas with a win of over 30,000x the bet?
Payout rate: 96.50%
Variance: Very High
Maximum win: 32,270x the bet
Minimum bet: $€0.4
Maximum bet: $€200
With Pirate Gold, it is about:
- Getting a jackpot (up to 1,000x the bet)
- In combination with multipliers (up to 5x)
- Spinning the multipliers more often
If you manage to do these 3 actions at the same time, you can really get yourself ready for a massive and incredible payout.
The maximum win is 32,270x the bet, and with a maximum stake of $€200 (if any casino is willing to take the risk), it is possible to be the King of the pirates and bring home a treasure of almost € 7 million!
Conclusions – time will tell if Pragmatic Play has released the most volatile slots
We listed our top 10 high variance Pragmatic Play. The list shows that the maximum wins of most slots are ridiculously high. We say ridiculous as these wins are potentially enormous, massive, sky-high (you name it) but perhaps also surreal.
Time will tell if it is indeed also possible in practice to get these wins. Or is it possible in theory only? No human person is going to do a trillion spins….
Will streamers show some of these incredible wins in the (near) future? Or will we all wake up and realize that it was all a dream?
We will find out sooner or later! But for now, we should give Pragmatic Play the benefit of the doubt. For sure!
