Quickspin slots on mobile at a glance

Quickspin makes video slots with clear themes, from fairy tales to Japanese folklore, and features built around respins and sticky wilds. Its games load inside UK casino apps and mobile sites on iPhone and Android, with no separate download from the studio.

The headline numbers are good by industry standards. Several titles list an RTP above 96%, and Big Bad Wolf reaches 97.34%. The catch is that some games come in more than one RTP version, so the figure in your app is the one that counts.

This guide sits in our slot providers hub. Quickspin's parent has its own page, Playtech slots on mobile, and the two studios make quite different games.

Quickspin's story: a Stockholm studio inside Playtech

Quickspin AB was founded in Stockholm in the early 2010s; reference listings give 2012. It also has offices in Sliema, Malta, and Kyiv, Ukraine. Playtech bought the studio in May 2016, and Quickspin has kept its own brand and design style since.

Being part of a listed group brings resources, but it does not change how individual games are built or tested. Each still has to meet the Commission's standards before a British casino can offer it. You can read about the parent company on Playtech's website (opens in a new tab).

Quickspin slots on mobile: the games and their numbers

These are the Quickspin titles with verified specifications. A maximum win is not published for any of them, so that column says so rather than repeating third-party claims.

Default RTP: why some Quickspin games have two versions

Studios often build a game at several RTP settings and let each casino choose one. Where a figure is described as the default, that is the version the studio presents as standard; a casino may run a different one. Sakura Fortune is the clearest example: its RTP is listed as up to 96.58%, and a version at around 90% also exists.

That gap is large. The table shows what each version costs on average for £50 staked, which is 250 spins at 20p.

Sakura Fortune: two RTP versions on £50 staked
VersionHouse edgeCalculationExpected loss
96.58%3.42%£50 × 3.42%£1.71
About 90%About 10%£50 × 10%About £5.00

The game looks and plays the same in both versions; only the long-run return differs. On the higher setting, Big Bad Wolf at 97.34% would cost £1.33 on average for the same £50. Our RTP on mobile guide explains why apps don't lower RTP by default, and why the version still varies by casino.

Games offered in Great Britain must make their rules and return information available to players. That is why the help screen, not a review site, is the place to confirm which version you are playing.

Respins and sticky wilds: Quickspin's signature features

Quickspin's verified games share a fondness for features that hold wilds in place and give extra spins. Each one works a little differently.

  • Sakura Fortune: the Princess wild lands as a full four-high stack on reels 2, 3 and 4. Two full stacks trigger a respin where they are held for two spins, and each new full stack adds another. In free spins, any Princess wild expands to cover its reel, stays sticky and awards an extra spin.
  • Sticky Bandits: Massive Wilds, two reels wide, appear on reels 2 and 4. A bonus symbol on reel 1 with a Massive Wild gives 7 free spins, and every wild in view or landing later is held until the round ends.
  • Hot Sync: two or more Hot Sync wilds on one spin start a respin in which their reels gain extra wilds, continuing until no more land. Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 give eight free spins.
  • Phoenix Sun: the base game plays on 5x3 with 243 ways and blocked rows above. A Phoenix Wild opens extra rows and triggers a respin; opening the whole grid gives 8 free spins with 7,776 ways.
  • Big Bad Wolf: Swooping Reels replace winning symbols, and every second win in a row turns a pig wild. In free spins, moon symbols let the wolf blow down the pigs' houses for extra spins.
  • Dwarfs Gone Wild: free spins come with one of seven dwarf features, chosen by how full the bonus meter is, such as the Bomber blasting wilds onto the reels.

Respins can make a game feel generous, but they are already priced into the RTP. Our glossary entry on volatility explains why features change how wins arrive, not how much the game keeps.

How to check a Quickspin game's RTP in your app

Because the RTP version varies by casino, it pays to look before you play. The exact menu differs between apps, but the steps are similar.

  1. Sign in to the casino app. UK casinos must verify your age before you can play anything, including demo games.
  2. Search the lobby for the game name, such as Sakura Fortune.
  3. Open the game, then find its information, paytable or help screen, often shown as an 'i' or menu icon.
  4. Look for the return to player figure in the game rules and compare it with the table above.
  5. If you can't find it, ask the casino's support team which RTP version they run.

Step-by-step help on finding a game's RTP in an app covers more examples, and the Commission's rules on game descriptions and the likelihood of winning (opens in a new tab) set out what operators must show.

Playing Quickspin games on iPhone and Android

Most Quickspin games in our table use five reels with three rows, which fit comfortably on a phone. Sakura Fortune's four rows and Sticky Bandits' five rows are taller, and Phoenix Sun grows from three to six rows as you open the grid, so a larger phone helps with readability.

Because games stream in when you open them, a stable connection matters more than raw phone power. The casino app data usage guide covers what slots use compared with live casino. Which orientation each game supports varies, so check when it loads.

The app itself has its own requirements. PlayOJO's iPhone app needs iOS 15.0 or later and takes 25.4 MB, while the Coral and Ladbrokes casino apps need iOS 18.0 or later and take around 101 MB.

Stake limits and spin speed on UK Quickspin slots

Every slot in a British app, Quickspin's included, has a stake cap. The government's announcement of the new £2 maximum stake for under-25s (opens in a new tab) set the limits: £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over from 9 April 2025, and £2 for those aged 18 to 24 from 21 May 2025.

Design rules apply too. Since 31 October 2021, online slots can't offer autoplay, turbo or slam-stop, must take at least 2.5 seconds per spin and can't celebrate a return equal to or less than the stake. Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players.

Our slot stake limits page explains how the caps work within a game cycle, including respins and free spins.

Quickspin vs Playtech: how the sister studios differ

The two studios share an owner, but their games are built for different tastes.

If you want the jackpot chase, Playtech's range fits better; if you prefer features without a jackpot slice taken from the RTP, Quickspin's verified games do not include one. For more choice, see our list of the best slot apps.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns Quickspin?

Quickspin is owned by Playtech, which bought the Stockholm studio in May 2016. Playtech is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is best known for its Age of the Gods jackpots and live casino. Quickspin still designs its own games and holds its own Gambling Commission licence, account 38516. For the parent company's games and history, read our guide to Playtech slots on mobile.

What is the RTP of Big Bad Wolf?

Big Bad Wolf has a published RTP of 97.34%, the highest of the Quickspin games we have verified. That works out at about £2.66 kept by the game for every £100 staked over the long run, though single sessions vary a lot. Casinos can run different versions of some games, so check the help screen in your app before you play. Our Big Bad Wolf review explains the Swooping Reels feature.

Why does Sakura Fortune have two RTPs?

Sakura Fortune is available at different RTP settings, and each casino chooses which to run. The published figure is up to 96.58%, and a version around 90% also exists. On £50 staked, that is roughly £1.71 versus £5 in expected loss. The game looks the same either way, so check the RTP in the game's help screen. Our Sakura Fortune review covers its respin and free spins features.

Is Quickspin licensed in the UK?

Yes, Quickspin supplies games to British casinos under Gambling Commission account 38516. A supplier licence means the studio's games and random number generation must meet the Commission's technical standards, on top of the rules the casino operator follows. You can check any account on the Commission's public register. See how to know a casino app is licensed, which explains the checks to make.

Does Quickspin make live casino games?

Yes, Quickspin's catalogue includes Quickspin Live alongside about 150 video slots, according to reference listings. Individual live games aren't covered on this page, so check your casino app's live lobby to see what is offered. Live tables are not covered by the slot stake limits, though other UK game rules still apply. Our guide to live casino apps covers how live games work on a phone.

Can I play Quickspin slots on my phone?

Yes, Quickspin slots are HTML5 games that run inside UK casino apps and mobile sites on iPhone and Android. There is no separate Quickspin app; you open the game from your casino's lobby, and it streams in over Wi-Fi or mobile data. Most of its games use a 5x3 layout, which suits a phone screen. Our guide to slots on mobile covers what to expect on a small screen.

Which Quickspin slot is best for a small budget?

No slot makes a small budget last by design, but lower stakes and medium volatility usually mean smoother sessions. Among Quickspin's verified games, Big Bad Wolf and Phoenix Sun are listed as medium volatility, and Big Bad Wolf has the highest RTP at 97.34%. At 10p a spin, £20 covers 200 spins before any wins. Our list of low-stakes casino apps covers apps suited to small bets.
