Pragmatic Play Expands GGL Portfolio with 12 New Certified Slots

Market leader Pragmatic Play has had 12 brand-new slots certified for Germany—all available in GGL-licensed casinos starting June 2026. We reveal the highlights.
Pragmatic Play, one of the world's leading slot developers, carried out the largest update to its German portfolio in May 2026 since the State Treaty on Gambling came into effect. A total of 12 brand-new slots have completed the complex certification process by the GGL and subsequent integration with German license holders—and will be available from June 5, 2026, in all GGL casinos such as JackpotPiraten, OnlineCasino DE, Tipwin, bwin Casino, Tipico Games, and LeoVegas DE.
At the center of the new releases is "Gates of Olympus 1000," the long-awaited sequel to the absolute mega-hit of recent years. The new version increases the maximum multipliers from the original 500x to now 1,000x per symbol, which arithmetically allows for a maximum win of 15,000x the stake. The RTP has been slightly raised to 96.5%, while the volatility remains aggressively high. The popular Tumble feature and the free spins round have been retained but are now supplemented with additional Mystery Multipliers—a feature that enabled significantly more varied bonus rounds in our preliminary tests.
Also high-profile are: "Big Bass Halloween — Christmas Edition" as a seasonal slot with significantly increased bonus trigger frequencies, "Sweet Bonanza Xmas 2026" with new fruit multipliers, and "Sugar Rush 1000" as the successor to the 2024 cluster-pay success. All four slots have been specially adapted for the German market with a 5-second spin delay, a €1 stake limit, and an autoplay ban—as mandated by GGL regulations.
Particularly interesting for strategy players is "Money Train 4 — German Edition" in cooperation with Relax Gaming. The slot brings the popular Money Train feature in a GGL-optimized version. With volatility that surpasses even its predecessors, "Money Train 4" is likely not for the faint of heart—but it is among the most-played slots in the regulated markets of Sweden and Great Britain. For the first time, this slot series is now also legally playable in Germany.
The remaining new additions are classically focused: "Wild West Gold Megaways," "Power of Thor Megaways," "John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen 2," "Pirate Gold Deluxe," "Wolf Gold 1000," "Hot to Burn 100," "Diamond Strike Megaways," and "Mustang Gold Multipliers." Each of these slots meets the strict GGL requirements and is officially listed on the GGL whitelist of certified games.
Pragmatic Play confirmed to Lustich.de that the certification for the German market takes an average of 14 weeks and is considered the most complex process compared to other European markets. Each game is individually audited by GLI, the mathematical engine is checked, the 5-second delay feature is implemented, the RTP range is set (between 95.5% and 96.7%), and it is finally approved by the GGL. This explains why not all international Pragmatic Play slots are available in Germany—and why every new release is a real event in the German market.
For German players, this update primarily means more variety in the strictly regulated GGL market. Previously, many slot fans criticized the limited selection compared to international MGA casinos. With the current update, this gap is closing considerably. In the coming weeks, Lustich.de will publish detailed reviews of the top 3 new additions—starting with "Gates of Olympus 1000," which in our view is the most exciting release of 2026 in the German GGL market.
