The provider secured 39 awards throughout 2025, including the prestigious Casino Content Supplier and Slot Supplier accolades at the EGR B2B Awards. The company released over 100 network games across all verticals during the year.

Pragmatic Play's 2025 Performance
Pragmatic Play achieved unprecedented success in 2025, securing 39 industry awards including prestigious EGR B2B Awards for Casino Content Supplier and Slot Supplier. The company released over 100 network games across all verticals, with Gates of Olympus Super Scatter becoming their top-performing slot globally.
Live casino emerged as a particular growth driver, with new studio launches in Serbia and Colombia. The vertical rolled out more than 55 localised tables and introduced notable game shows including Fortune Roulette, Money Time, and Mega Roulette 3000.

The provider's sportsbook vertical achieved full certification to supply operators in Brazil, positioning the company for the regulated market's launch. Sports team leader Gareth Crook is preparing for expansion opportunities across Latin America.
"Regulatory developments across LatAm as a whole, are opening new doors, and with Brazil's deep-rooted passion for football, combined with a World Cup year, it's a market we are actively prioritising."

However, Pragmatic Play strategically withdrew from the US sweepstakes market due to regulatory complexity, refocusing resources on sustainable growth markets.
Looking ahead, the company plans to launch Jelly Express in March 2026 alongside Gates of Olympus Roulette, bringing the iconic slot franchise into live casino for the first time. A new studio environment called Flow will debut for Blackjack offerings.
Two additional live casino studios are planned for 2026 to support expansion across regulated markets.
"2025, like every other year, reinforced that while the industry will always bring twists and turns, staying focused on what we can control and influence – innovation, quality, and hard work – is what ultimately drives success."
— Mark Maislish, Chief Revenue Officer
Maislish emphasised the company's commitment to maintaining high production standards while scaling operations. The provider continues producing eight slot releases monthly while deepening its multi-product approach across live casino, sports betting, and arcade games.
The executive noted that regulatory clarity remains crucial for long-term strategic planning, particularly in emerging markets where compliance frameworks continue evolving.
