What Evoplay does best
Evoplay makes games that look like video games. Its catalogue includes 3D slots, a racing game, a runner and a third-person shooter, alongside a strong line of sports-themed instant games. Not every experiment works as well as the next, but the studio takes more format risks than most. If you're bored of reels, it's one of the more interesting studios to follow.
We don't list any Evoplay games on SlotsRanker yet. The demo network we use carries 292 titles from this studio.
Company background
Evoplay's about page gives 2017 as its founding year and lists offices in Limassol, Cyprus, and Warsaw, Poland. Ivan Kravchuk is chief executive. The company lists ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification, a Malta recognition letter, GCB certification and certification for the Italian market. It makes slots, instant games, table games, classic games, bingo and lottery products. It says it has won more than 45 industry awards, including categories for game design, mobile innovation and slot provider of the year.
The 3D experiments
The about page lists a set of titles that move away from standard slot design:
- Necromancer, which Evoplay describes as the first mass-market 3D/VR slot.
- Adrenaline Rush, which it calls an industry-first 3D racing game and its flagship title for 2024.
- Goblin Run, a 3D runner.
- Star Guardians, which it describes as the industry's first third-person shooter with manual control.
- Dungeon: Immortal Evil, a 3D slot inspired by role-playing games.
Evoplay also names its own Spinential engine, which it says is built for fast loading. The "first" claims are the studio's own and we report them as such. What they show is a clear design aim: games that feel closer to arcade or console play than to a fruit machine.
Instant games: the Penalty Shoot-out family
Evoplay's longest-running series is in its instant games. Penalty Shoot-out is a football game in which you take shots at goal. By early 2025 it had become a trilogy, and European Gaming reported that Penalty Shoot-out: Super Cup combined elements of the first two games. Evoplay later brought the series to reels with Penalty Shoot-Out: Super Spin.
The same format moved to ice in February 2024 with Hockey Shootout. According to iGaming Business, you pick a country and a stake, then choose where to aim between the posts. Each goal triggers a bonus, and scoring five in a row gives the highest multiplier.
These games show Evoplay's instant format at its clearest. Rounds are short, you make a genuine choice on each shot, and the outcome is shown as a sports moment rather than a reel result.
The more traditional side
Not everything is experimental. In December 2024 Evoplay released Hot Triple Sevens Hold and Win, part of its flaming sevens series. It uses a standard 5x3 layout and a light board that tracks wins. Six or more Bonus symbols trigger the bonus game, which has four jackpot tiers with a top level of 3,000x the bet. Hot Bonus symbols carry values that can upgrade to jackpot tiers, and there is a free spins mode with tripled wins and a bonus buy option.
So the catalogue runs from classic sevens slots to 3D shooters. That range is the studio's identity.
RTP and volatility
We haven't found an Evoplay document that sets out how many RTP versions it supplies or a typical volatility approach, so we don't make general claims here. Instant games also work differently from slots: the return depends on the rules of each round, not on reels. Each Evoplay page on SlotsRanker will show its own verified figures when the games are added.
Who Evoplay suits
Evoplay suits players who want a break from spinning reels, and sports fans who like short, choice-based rounds. It also suits anyone curious about how far slot-style games can move towards console-style play. Players who want one consistent style across a studio's catalogue may find the range too wide.
