GameArt has made HTML5 games for online casinos and land-based venues since 2013. Its range includes fixed-line slots, cascading Megaways games, symbol-collection features, roulette and video poker. A dragon or farm on the loading screen tells you little about the rules. Different editions in the same family can use different screens, bonuses and volatility profiles.
GameArt games: the mechanics that separate them
The studio describes a portfolio of more than 150 games and says it adds releases monthly. Dragon King and Dancing Lions use Asian themes, Gold of Ra follows an Egyptian setting, and Wild Dolphin and Pirate’s Pearl take place at sea. There is also fruit-machine styling in games such as 40 Splendid Sevens. Paylines, cascades and feature rules are more useful for comparing the play than artwork alone.
| Game | How combinations pay | Feature difference |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon King | 50 paylines | Stacks of dragon Wilds and free-spin retriggers |
| Dancing Lions | 5 reels, 10 paylines | Red envelopes become Wild during free spins |
| Wild Dolphin | 5 reels, 10 paylines | All free-spin wins receive a 3x multiplier |
| Gold of Ra | 5 reels, 25 paylines | A chest selects the free spins and symbols that become Wild |
| Money Farm 2 | 5 reels, 25 paylines | Collected eggs unlock extra reel sets |
| Sugar Loot Spark | A 6 × 5 field with matching symbols paying anywhere | Multiplier positions remain sticky throughout the free-spin feature |
In Wild Dolphin, three, four or five scattered Pearls award 15 free spins. The feature can retrigger. Gold of Ra takes a different approach: three to five Golden Chests open a separate reward selection. It determines the spin count and which symbols turn gold and act as Wilds. The game description states up to ten free spins. Having a free-spin feature in both games does not make their reward structures interchangeable.
Dancing Lions starts ten free spins when Red Pockets appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. During the feature, an envelope substitutes for symbols other than the Lion. To extend an active feature, the description allows three Scatters in any positions. Those are different conditions: the initial entry specifies particular reels, while the retrigger is described more broadly.
Dragon King versus Dragon King Megaways
The original Dragon King was released on 7 October 2014. Three Coin symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 start five free spins with extra stacks of dragons. The dragon substitutes for regular symbols, but not for a Coin. The feature can retrigger, so the opening allocation does not always describe the length of the whole session.
Dragon King Megaways arrived on 6 February 2024. It replaces fixed paylines with six cascading reels and up to 117,649 ways to pay. Winning symbols leave spaces for new ones. Wilds appear outside the first reel with a 1x, 2x or 3x multiplier. In the base game, a Mystery symbol on reels 2–6 becomes one of those Wilds and can turn up to three additional random symbols into 1x Wilds.
Three or more Scatters open a feature with seven choices, including a Mystery option. The choices provide different spin allocations and multipliers, reaching up to 25 spins and 25x. Those upper limits do not mean every trigger awards both maxima together. There is also a feature purchase. Its price is a separate charge rather than a reward automatically included in the ordinary spin cost.
The number of Megaways combinations depends on the reel sizes in that round. The top ways count does not describe the chance of a win and does not replace a paytable. Cascades, the Wild multipliers and the feature selection make this a substantially different game despite the familiar Chinese theme.
Money Farm 2: unlocking extra reel sets
Money Farm 2 was released on 12 April 2017. Its feature starts with 12 free spins played on two reel sets. Three or more Eggs trigger it, and a random trigger after a spin is also possible. Once inside, the Golden Egg counter controls both the number of active screens and the placement of full Wild reels.
| Eggs collected | Active reel sets | Reel change |
|---|---|---|
| Feature starts | Two | The bonus reel sets spin simultaneously |
| 9 | Three | Reel five becomes Wild on every set |
| 14 | Four | Reels four and five become Wild on every set |
| 30 | Four | Reels three, four and five become Wild |
Eggs enter the counter after each spin. The total collected during the feature matters, rather than only the number appearing on one screen. An additional set creates another field in which combinations are evaluated. A full Wild reel changes combinations on fields that are already open. These are two distinct upgrades.
This feature does not retrigger. The extensions available in Wild Dolphin or another farm-themed game cannot be assumed here. The wider catalogue also includes Money Farm, Money Farm 2 – Dice, Money Farm Megaways and Money Farm West. A suffix distinguishes the rules as well as the presentation.
Cascades in Sugar Loot Spark and Pirate’s Pearl
Sugar Loot Spark was released on 22 September 2026. Its matching sweets can pay from different positions across the field rather than following paylines. Winning symbols disappear and replacements drop into the gaps. One paid spin can therefore produce a sequence of win evaluations.
Active multiplier spots build value. New winning symbols landing on those positions during the same spin double their values, from 1x up to 128x. It is the winning match at an active position that matters. A new sweet landing somewhere on the field does not automatically double a multiplier.
Four Scatters trigger free spins. In that feature, multiplier positions remain sticky for the full session. The base game also includes Candy Cash Prize symbols with awards up to 50x. A position multiplier and a cash-prize symbol are separate parts of the calculation. Their upper values cannot simply be added and presented as the slot’s maximum payout.
Pirate’s Pearl Megaways, released on 28 February 2023, develops its features through collected Mystery Ships. It has six cascading reels and three collection thresholds, each opening a different event.
| Ships | Event | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| 16 | Sea Storm | Low-paying symbols leave the reels; medium- and high-paying symbols fill the gaps |
| 45 | Yo-Ho-Ho! Megaways Respins | Each successive respin has more ways, reaching up to 117,649 |
| 100 | Ocean Battle | A sea battle with alternating attempts and rewards for successful hits |
A successful hit in the battle awards a random multiplier between 2x and 1,000x. Four hits double the sum of the multipliers, while six hits award 10,000 times the total bet. These are conditions of a particular event rather than a payment attached to every ordinary spin.
Five or more Scatters can open up to 22 free spins with a starting multiplier up to 10x. Before entering the feature, a gamble option can increase both the spin count and the multiplier. The purchase menu offers the Ocean Battle or free spins separately. Those are different events, so they should not be treated as one interchangeable feature entry.
RTP and volatility without session promises
GameArt’s product cards show 96% for Dragon King, Dancing Lions, Wild Dolphin, Gold of Ra and Money Farm 2. That figure belongs to the described products, not to every GameArt game. Newer cards, including Sugar Loot Spark and Dragon King Megaways, do not state a percentage in their short specification lists. Filling the gap with a figure from an older slot would give a misleading comparison.
A 96% RTP describes a theoretical return of 96 currency units for every 100 units wagered across a very large number of rounds. Turnover includes all stakes, including wins that are bet again. A €20 deposit is therefore not the same as €20 of turnover. The percentage does not promise that depositing that amount will leave €19.20 after a session.
The studio classifies Dragon King and Dancing Lions as low volatility, Wild Dolphin as high, and Gold of Ra and Money Farm 2 as medium. Dragon King Megaways is listed as medium/high. These labels describe the distribution of payouts. A low category does not set a protected account balance or guarantee a particular win frequency during your play.
For spending, the total bet per spin matters. A line stake and the full round cost are different amounts, while buying a feature can charge many ordinary stakes immediately. Comparing games by the same number on a button only works if that number really represents the full round cost in the same currency.
Jackpots: four tiers and a funded reserve
GameArt’s jackpot system has Mini, Minor, Major and Grand levels. The studio describes it as a product for 39 games. Operators can choose a local arrangement or a progressive network, set contributions to the fund, and configure between one and four concurrent progressive jackpots. A configuration may cover individual slots or a group of games.
Jackpots in this product setup are configured in US dollars. If the player account uses another currency, the displayed meter and the credited amount involve currency presentation. The Grand label alone does not establish an identical cash award at every casino.
There is an important restriction: a jackpot cannot be won until its reserve pot is funded. A visible tier is therefore not necessarily an award already available to win. Participation also depends on the game being connected to the operator’s chosen setup. A regular slot does not become a jackpot game simply because GameArt produced it.
Roulette and video poker
European Roulette uses 37 pockets numbered 0–36. Bets can be placed on the classic layout or the wheel-neighbour track. Group options include Zero Game, Big Series, Orphans and Serie 5/8. History displays the last 30 results, while statistics show five hot and cold numbers within the recorded data. These displays describe completed rounds; they do not alter the probability of the next number.
Vulcano Roulette was released on 14 May 2024. It retains the European wheel and adds up to five Blazing Numbers with multipliers reaching 500x. A multiplier applies to special numbers rather than automatically to every bet on the layout. Ordinary roulette bets and boosted numbers require the game’s own payout schedule; a standard European roulette payout cannot be assumed for every enhanced bet.
Video Poker is a Jacks or Better game. The aim is to form a paying five-card hand, with one opportunity to replace cards during a round. Choosing which cards to hold matters, so slot paylines do not describe the decision. The schedule of paying hands determines what each completed combination is worth.
The company, supplier licence and game testing
GameArt Limited is registered in Malta as company C50345, with its legal address in Valletta. The business grew as an international studio with teams in Malta, Slovenia, Serbia and the United Kingdom. Its current office description names Nova Gorica, Ljubljana, Maribor and St Julian’s. Tronius manufactures the TRON-E and ARGO land-based cabinets, while GameArt supplies their gaming software.
MGA/B2B/966/2022 was issued on 6 February 2023. It is a Critical Gaming Supply licence for supplying products to other businesses. The MGA register lists GameArt Limited as Licensed, with Type 1 casino games. The 2023 licence announcement identified Peter Mihelj as the company’s CEO at that time.
Italy appears in the studio’s list of game-certification markets. That is a different basis from the MGA supplier licence. Laboratory testing, quality management and information security also answer different questions.
| Document | Scope | Confirmed details |
|---|---|---|
| GLI Certificate of Integrity | The listed products and random number generators | RNG dates: 28 February 2019 and 14 June 2023. Listed game versions 2.1: 12 December 2023. Certificate expires at the end of February 2027 |
| SIQ ISO 9001:2015 | Quality management for game development and sales | Q-2140, issued 30 October 2025, expires 26 October 2027 |
| SIQ ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Information security management | I-085, issued 30 October 2025, expires 12 November 2028 |
The GLI list includes version 2.1 of Dragon King, Gold of Ra, Money Farm 2 and Wild Dolphin. The certificate explains that evaluation against standards does not promise product quality or performance and is not a substitute for regulatory approval. The SIQ documents and their IQNET confirmations cover company systems at Nova Gorica and Maribor. They do not establish a particular slot’s RTP or license the casino taking a deposit.
Mobile play and access through casinos
GameArt’s HTML5 games support computers, tablets and smartphones. Browser play is possible; a separate casino app depends on the chosen operator. On a small screen, the difference between one grid and the four sets in Money Farm 2 becomes particularly noticeable. Stake controls, the Egg counter and remaining spins need to stay readable alongside the play area.
Aggregators distribute the games. GameArt’s partners include SOFTSWISS, Hub88 and BlueOcean Gaming, and SOFTSWISS lists the studio within its Game Aggregator. This is a delivery route to casinos. Connecting an aggregator does not mean that every operator offers every title, language or bonus feature.
For real-money play, the casino handles the account, document checks and withdrawals. A promotion’s specific rules determine whether a selected slot counts towards wagering, whether jackpot games are included, whether feature purchases are allowed, and the maximum permitted stake. The GameArt logo does not settle those conditions. Interface language does not establish country eligibility either: access depends on the operator’s market and the player’s location.
