| Company name | Zillion Games (trading name of Ziplay Limited) |
| Established | 2021 in Limassol, Cyprus, though sources split on this. Slotegrator, First Look Games, and igamingtoday all cite 2021. LCB.org and a couple of blog write-ups put it at 2020. We couldn't find a document from Zillion itself settling it either way |
| Headquarters | Limassol, Cyprus |
| Leadership | Aleksandrs Smetanovs (Chief Customer Officer), Uroš Nikolić (Senior Sales Manager), Marija Stojakovic (Account Manager), Irina Rimmel (Human Resources Director) |
| Employees | LinkedIn lists the company at 11 to 50 staff. Zillion's own team has told trade press the real number sits around 40 |
| Licenses | Hellenic Gaming Commission, UK Gambling Commission, MGA, Kansspel Commissie |
| Number of Games | Zillion's marketing pages have quoted anywhere from 65 to 90-plus titles at different points. Independent trackers land lower. LCB puts it near 50, AboutSlots counts 23. Take the top-end figures with a grain of salt |

Nobody has named the founders anywhere. Not on the website, not on LinkedIn, not in any trade press we checked. There's also no parent group or ultimate owner disclosed beyond Ziplay Limited, the entity that actually holds the license.
Zillion Games set up shop in Limassol around 2021. The 2020 date floating around LCB.org is the outlier, and we couldn't confirm it anywhere else. The studio had its iTech Labs RNG certification in hand by January the following year.
The first couple of years were spent building out a catalog quietly before the awards started showing up. A double nomination at the 2024 EGR Italy Awards got the studio noticed. That was followed by a shortlist for Slots Developer of the Year at the 2024 SBC Awards, then a distribution deal with Slotegrator's APIgrator in August 2024 that put the games in front of a much wider set of operators.
2025 was the studio's biggest year by a wide margin. It picked up the Best European Casino Content Supplier Under 5 Years award at the EGR Europe Awards. Trade coverage also credits it with a Digital Casino Supplier of the Year nod at the Global Gaming Awards Asia Pacific and a Best Casino Software Supplier Under 5 Years win at the EGR Global Awards, though we'd treat those last two as secondary to the well-documented EGR Europe win.
A content deal with First Look Games the same year put more than fifty Zillion titles in front of that platform's affiliate network. More recently, a 2026 partnership with Aardvark Technologies is set to bring Zillion content onto Aardvark's SkyPilot retail betting platform, the studio's first real move past pure online distribution. Zillion's own newsroom confirms the deal but doesn't pin down an exact date beyond early spring.
Zillion Games has real industry hardware behind it, not just marketing copy. An actual EGR Europe win plus multiple shortlist appearances at SBC and SiGMA inside two years is a genuine result for a studio this young. That gets backed up by the release schedule too. Roughly one new game a month is quick by studio standards, and it keeps the lineup feeling current. Fire Chilli and Katrina's Wheel of Fortune both dropped within the last several months of our research window.
Rather than trying to sign operators one at a time, Zillion leaned into infrastructure early. Titles run through the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator alongside Salsa, Hub88, and Slotegrator, which explains how a fairly small studio ends up live at more than a dozen operators. Everything is built on HTML5 for cross-device play.
The payments side is unusually deep for a studio this size, supporting more than 50 fiat currencies plus BTC, ETH, and USDT. That crypto-first approach lines up with how a lot of its casino partners position themselves in our crypto casino guide. Demo play is also easy to find, hosted on the provider's own site and mirrored across several third-party aggregators, with no signup or download required.
The iTech Labs RNG certification is a genuine third-party audit, though we couldn't find a public registry to check it against directly.
Zillion only makes slots. There's nothing in its recent partnership news suggesting a live dealer or table game push is coming. Here's the breakdown on eight of the studio's better-known releases.
Fire Chilli runs on a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines, high volatility, and a 3,000x max win. The RTP is confusing even in Zillion's own materials. The game-info box shows 95.87% while the description text says 95.75%, so treat both figures as close-but-not-locked-in. It features a Random Wild that can drop two or more wilds in one spin, a Double Reels bonus, an Extra Re-Spin triggered by four or more bonus symbols, a Bonus Buy option, and a random multiplier that kicks in during the bonus round.
Katrina's Wheel of Fortune (5x3, 25 paylines, high volatility, 95.20% RTP, 1,000x max win) builds around a Wheel-of-Fortune bonus round sitting on top of a base game that reviewers describe as generating frequent small wins.
Buffalo's Sun (5x3 classic layout, 25 paylines, low volatility, 93.91% RTP, 1,088x max win) uses wilds to complete paylines, and its Hold & Win bonus triggers off six Sun symbols. There's also scatter-triggered free spins with Giant Symbols thrown in.
Wolf's Moon breaks from the usual layout with a 4-reel, 5-row grid, 25 paylines, medium volatility, a 95.25% RTP, and a 1,300x max win. Wilds and scatter-triggered free spins pair with expanding symbols and a wolf and moon themed bonus that hands out instant prizes or multipliers.
The Mad Fisherman (5x3, 25 paylines, high volatility, roughly 95% RTP, 1,675x max win) is one of the newer releases in the lineup. We couldn't pin down the specific bonus mechanics in any source we could verify.
Sun Strike is the odd one out. It runs on a 19-cell grid (a 3-4-5-4-3 reel layout) built around a proprietary Smash win mechanic instead of standard paylines. RTP, volatility, and max win aren't publicly listed for this title.
The Book of Hor(us) is one of the studio's earliest releases (some sources say Fruits 5 Lines actually came first, so the "debut title" claim is genuinely disputed). It runs on a standard 5-reel, 3-row grid with 10 paylines and a 1,000x max win on base bet. It sits in familiar Egyptian-theme territory next to long-running genre staples like Book of Dead. RTP and volatility for this one weren't disclosed anywhere we checked.
Guardians of Valhalla (20 paylines, high volatility, 94.76% RTP, 1,410x max win) is a Norse-themed slot with an Expanding Reel mechanic. The specific reel and row count isn't stated in any source we found.
| Game | Release | RTP | Volatility | Max Win | Grid / Paylines |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Katrina's Wheel of Fortune | Oct 23, 2025 | 95.20% | High | 1,000x | 5x3, 25 paylines |
| Fire Chilli | Nov 20, 2025 | 95.87% / 95.75%* | High | 3,000x | 5x3, 25 paylines |
| The Mad Fisherman | Jun 25, 2026 | ~95%** | High | 1,675x | 5x3, 25 paylines |
| Buffalo's Sun | Not published | 93.91% | Low | 1,088x | 5x3, 25 paylines |
| Wolf's Moon | Not published | 95.25% | Medium | 1,300x | 4x5, 25 paylines |
| Guardians of Valhalla | Not published | 94.76% | High | 1,410x | Not published, 20 paylines |
| The Book of Hor(us) | Not published | Not published | Not published | 1,000x | 5x3, 10 paylines |
| Sun Strike | Not published | Not published*** | Not published | Not published | 19-cell (3-4-5-4-3), Smash mechanic |
None of Zillion's slots run as networked progressives. A handful of titles, including Katrina's Wheel of Fortune, Miner's Fortune, Golden Lion, Magic Treasures, and Gems Sky, use fixed-tier Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots awarded through an in-game bonus wheel. That's a meaningfully smaller-upside mechanic than a pooled jackpot that grows across operators, so don't confuse the two when comparing max win potential.
Zillion Games content shows up at a growing roster of offshore, Curaçao-licensed casinos, including:
Every single one of these runs under Curaçao licensing rather than a Canadian provincial license. We found no AGCO or iGaming Ontario registration for Zillion Games or for Ziplay Limited, which matters because Ontario players specifically have a regulated in-province option that none of these sites are part of. Players outside Ontario aren't in quite the same position, since no other province currently runs a competitive licensing regime for private online casinos, but it's still worth understanding clearly before you decide whether offshore play makes sense for you.
Zillion has real things going for it. An EGR Europe award, a fast release schedule, and game data that holds up where the studio actually bothers to publish it. The crypto and multi-currency support is a genuine differentiator for a studio this size too.
But the gaps are real, and we'd rather say so than smooth them over. Zillion's own marketing has claimed anywhere up to 90-plus games depending on when you check the site, and independent trackers put the real number closer to 23 to 50. No founders are named anywhere, and there's no public license number tied to the Curaçao license. One game, Sun Strike, ships with essentially no disclosed RTP or volatility at all.
AboutSlots, which tracks these numbers independently, says it simply doesn't have enough historical spin data to calculate RTP, hit frequency, or volatility for Zillion titles on its own, and that lines up with what we found. We also couldn't turn up a single Trustpilot review, Reddit thread, or Casinomeister or AskGamblers forum post specific to this provider. Genuine first-person player feedback is basically absent from the public record.
A few review sites also describe parts of the catalogue as derivative, familiar themes with standard modifiers rather than anything genuinely new, and based on the eight titles we looked at closely, that's a fair critique. For comparison, established studios like NetEnt and Pragmatic Play publish RTP across their entire catalogue and have years of forum history to draw on. Zillion just hasn't built that track record yet.
Zillion Games is a slots-only software studio based in Limassol, Cyprus, operating as Ziplay Limited under a Curaçao gaming license. It builds HTML5 slots distributed through aggregators including SOFTSWISS, Salsa, Hub88, and Slotegrator.
Not publicly available. No founder names show up in the company's official materials, LinkedIn presence, or press coverage, and no parent company or ultimate owner is disclosed beyond the Ziplay Limited operating entity.
Zillion Games runs on a Curaçao license (the specific license number isn't published anywhere). We found no AGCO or iGaming Ontario registration, so the only real-money access for Canadian players is through offshore, Curaçao-licensed casinos rather than a provincially regulated one.
Zillion's own marketing has claimed 90-plus titles at times, but independent trackers put the real figure meaningfully lower. LCB estimates close to 50, AboutSlots counts 23. Treat the higher number with some skepticism.
Yes. Free demo play is confirmed and easy to find, with no signup, deposit, or download required. It's hosted on the provider's own site and independently across several third-party aggregators.
