It is not often that a freshly introduced software developer enters the market with a controversial reputation. Apparently, though, this is how things are for Octopus Gaming.
The minute it was introduced to the online community, questions appeared: Who are the owners? Where is the software licensed? Finally – why does most of the manufacturer’s portfolio consist of releases that were developed by the notoriously known Topgame, which makes it closely related to the Pragmatic Play?
All these things considered, let’s take a closer look at the company’s roots, casinos it cooperates with, the content it offers to the clients, and bonuses.

September brings some good news for players from the UK who want to find a new operator to play their favorite video slots. They can pay attention to CasinoLuck, as this brand has recently changed the welcome offer for new players to offer them free spins on a popular slot and a cash deal that can be spent on any other game. Let’s look at this promotion in more detail!
The reviewed developer is represented in the libraries that used to be a home to TopGame’s entertainment. Among them are 7Spins and Rich. Both of these places to bet and win once belonged to the Winward Group, and now the official name of their owner is Engage Entertainment Group.
The titles that belong to the network are licensed in Costa Rica and have been in operation for quite a while now. Thus, two of the abovementioned gambling destinations have been providing services since 2008. The network has mixed reviews from the online community and influential gaming portals. While some are rated highly and have plenty of positive feedback, others can even be blacklisted, with less than 20% of positive comments from the registered members.

Launched in 2017 as an instant games developer and provider with headquarters in Antigua, Octopus Gaming entered the market with a portfolio of slot machines, table games, video poker and arcades.
When adding its releases to our database, which is a home to over 2000 games from a variety of suppliers, we have discovered that most of these creations are already listed on our portal – under the name of the TopGame. This is the case with slot machines like Bee Land, Aladdin’s Treasure, Carnival of Venice, Cool Stone Age, Crazy Jungle and many more.
In search for the answer how is this possible, since the website of the provider does not inform visitors about such details, we have discovered that the same question bothered our colleagues at CasinoListings. In the article TopGame Jackpots Information, they are mentioning the fact that while the owners of the new software insist they simply bought the already produced games, owners of platforms where this entertainment is hosted mention that the new company is managed by the people that used to be in charge at TopGame.
A little history here – TopGame’s reputation was damaged a few years ago when the online community expressed concerns about the company’s progressive jackpots missing certain symbols. This made it impossible for anyone to hit the advertised big win. While the studio tried to fix this and has issued several statements on the cause, the trust was lost.
As our colleagues from World Casino Directory remind us in their review, it was in 2015 that the assets of the developer were bought out by Pragmatic Play. The correct question would be – if Pragmatic Play bought TopGame with its developments, doesn’t it mean that now some of the games in their portfolio match the ones in the collection of Octopus Gaming, who if their statement is true also bought games produced by TopGame? After checking the website of Pragmatic Play, we’ve discovered that most of the releases that came with the 2015 deal are now deleted.
With all that being said, we will all just need to wait for the official statements from the management of the new software. The history of online gambling remembers cases of successful rebranding. Thus, what was known as BetOnSoft many years ago, was then renamed to Saucify when the company decided it needed a fresh start with its B2B services. We do believe that those in charge at Octopus Gaming will be able to clarify the situation and demonstrate that this is a software worth trusting in and playing at.

Newly registered users can count on a standard set of cash match offers on several initial deposits. It can reach up to 500% with the unlimited amount of cash. The average rollover requirements are 25xBD with slot machines contributing 100%. Usually, only wins from bonuses will be allowed for withdrawal, while promotional funds will be annulled.
Among deals for the regulars are cash back, daily deals, and no-deposit offers.
While all cohorts are represented, most of the portfolio’s space is given to slot machines. The amount of table games, video poker games and arcades is significantly smaller. Among options are Roulette Cristal, Double Exposure and Royale Blackjack types, Keno and Jacks or Better video poker.
As to slot machines, the selection of themes is diverse – from jungle adventures and games inspired by fairytales, to the atmosphere of the Wild West or the celebration of the day of the Dead. The most common grid is 5x3 with 25 paylines, although there are cases like Dougui’s Delights with 9 win-lines, or Aladdin’s Treasures, where the reel configuration is 5x4 with 50 fixed lines.
The approach to the features of the releases is standardized for the entire portfolio – each game contains a bonus session where extra points can be earned, and there are always free spins. The amount of these additional rotations can be from five to 50, as it is in the Aladdin’s Treasures. Also, this release, as well as the 7 Monkeys slot, offers multipliers during the free spins round.
A gambling session can be activated in certain slots, such as Dwarven Gold, Ducks’n’Eggs or Graveyard Shift. The 7 Monkeys machine also has Stacked Symbols and Wild icons – a feature rarely met in other games of Octopus Gaming’s portfolio. While additional wins are on average earned in the bonus rounds, base modes offer extra cash mostly from the paid Wilds.
