Push Gaming: what the studio publishes and why it isn’t in the lobby

The Dukat.bet provider list without Push Gaming on it

Let’s say it up front: as of 12 October 2026 we did not find the name Push Gaming in the Dukat.bet provider list. We went through the entire public game catalogue and found no Razor Shark, no Jammin' Jars, no Big Bamboo and no Fat Rabbit. Searching for the word “Fat” only returns titles from other studios.

Why, then, a page about a studio you can’t play at this casino? Push Gaming is one of the three studios in our brief, and players know it from other casinos. We wanted to show what the studio publishes about its games, which mechanics made its name – and which games in the Dukat.bet lobby run on a similar principle.

Every figure below comes from the studio’s own website. You can’t verify any of it at Dukat.bet, because these games aren’t there. Nor is any bonus offer tied to games outside the lobby.

Push Gaming in ten rows

From go-between to in-house slots and into the LeoVegas fold

Push Gaming did not start out as a slot studio. In 2010 its focus was on helping land-based manufacturers get online. Only in 2015 did it change course and begin developing its own slots.

The firm is led by two co-founders: Winston Lee (chief operating officer) and James Marshall (chief executive). They distribute the games through their own platform, and according to the official 2023 release they employ more than a hundred people.

In May 2023 the LeoVegas group announced that it would buy a majority stake in the studio through its investment arm, LeoVentures. The deal closed on 1 September 2023. According to the release, Push Gaming is to remain an independent company with its own management. LeoVegas is part of MGM, which is why the release speaks of backing from “LeoVegas and MGM”.

Official sources do not state the value of the deal. We therefore don’t repeat the figure circulating in the trade press.

Two return percentages and the “highest observed win”

For every game, Push Gaming lists two RTP values – a higher one and a lower one. Underneath sits a note that RTP may differ between casinos and that the version in use is shown in the game’s panel and on its loading screen. In other words, the casino chooses which version to deploy.

Model calculation with invented amounts – not Dukat.bet data:

• For Jammin' Jars, the gap between the versions, 96.83% and 94.25%, is exactly 2.58 percentage points.
• Across 10,000 EUR staked over a long period, that works out at a theoretical average difference of 258 EUR against the player on the lower version.
• In a single short session the difference vanishes into randomness, so you won’t spot it in your results.

The second figure, the win cap, is worded carefully. The studio doesn’t write “maximum win” but “highest observed win” – the biggest win it has recorded. So it is not the game’s theoretical ceiling but a logged result. For Razor Shark, the page gives no such figure at all.

Volatility is described in words (“High”, “Mid-High”), while grid size and number of lines appear only in a sentence of the description. Comparing these figures with other studios takes some care; our column-by-column reading guide walks through it.

Mechanics tied to the Push Gaming name

The studio builds on a handful of ideas that it keeps reworking.

• Growing multiplier in clusters – in Jammin' Jars the jam jar is both a wild and a scatter, and its multiplier starts at 1× and climbs step by step. Wins come from clusters of five or more symbols on an 8×8 grid.
• Mystery Stacks – in Razor Shark, stacks of mystery symbols land, shift and reveal themselves. Razor Reveal turns them into mini-reels with multipliers from 1× to 2,500×.
• The “Fat” mechanic – a character collects wilds, grows and adds free games. In Fat Rabbit it is a rabbit with carrots; in Fat Banker, a banker with money bags.
• Power Gamble – in Mystery Museum, after a win of more than 2× you can take a risk and climb a ladder all the way to free games.
• Push Bet – in Razor Returns you raise your base stake by 10% for a better chance of free games. The game also offers a bonus buy in several variants.

Flagship games by the studio’s own figures

This table is not a ranking, and you can’t use it at Dukat.bet. It only shows what the numbers Push Gaming publishes look like as of 12 October 2026.

Source for every row: studio’s official site. All eight titles in the table are rated High; the Mid-High grade also appears on the studio’s website, for example for Wild Swarm.

Note the spread of caps: from just under 4,000× up to 100,000×. An “observed” win is history, not a promise. Why the cap on its own says nothing about your chances is discussed in the ranking by maximum win.

Similar mechanics in the lobby: clusters, mysteries, collectors

We searched the Dukat.bet lobby for games whose official description includes a similar principle. They are not one-to-one substitutes – just the closest relatives, with mechanics confirmed by the maker.

Fat Panda from Pragmatic Play resembles the “Fat” family in name and theme only. Its official description talks about a special top reel, expanding wilds and free games with sticky wilds (RTP 96.07%), not about a growing character.

Mystery Reels is the oldest of the four – Red Tiger released it on 14 June 2017 – and the only one with a published hit frequency. Sugar Rush and Fruit Party also have sequels and seasonal variants in the lobby (Sugar Rush 1000, Fruit Party 2). Their percentages may differ from the original, so confirm the RTP version in the in-game rules.

For Push Bet – paying extra on the stake for a more frequent bonus – we found no equivalent confirmed on the official page of any lobby game. We don’t fill the gap with guesses here either, in line with our whole ranking methodology. How the lobby’s studios rank by the amount of data they publish is shown in the studio ranking.
