Raw iGaming is still a little wet behind the ears, but they've wasted no time in challenging the entire industry to do better. Their respectable but growing collection of slots, table games, and crash games is truly buzzing thanks to ingenious, patent pending mechanics and never-before-seen features that frankly we've been dying to sink our teeth into. 

They're here, they're Raw - let's take a bite! 

Who is Raw iGaming?

Raw iGaming is a relatively young developer of online casino games that launched in March 2021 with the goal of creating something that "stands out in the sea of sameness". The group has offices in the UK, Spain, Argentina, and Malta, making them an international operation. Thanks to an unstoppable drive and a unique approach to game development, Raw iGaming currently offers their suite of titles to a total of 72 online casinos in 62 countries worldwide. The provider's games can be found from Australia and Azerbaijan to Venezuela and Vietnam, and they're most popular in the countries hosting the company's offices. That said, there are still some interesting pockets of popularity in places like Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Ontario, Canada. 

With such a broad reach, it goes without saying that these guys have done their homework when it comes to regulation, as they currently hold licences issued by numerous respected industry authorities including the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, the Swedish Spelinspektionen, the Danish Spillemyndigheden, and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. 

In terms of the games themselves, Raw iGaming has a respectable collection of 47 games, the vast majority of which are slots (43 at PlayOJO!), with the rest including instant, crash, and even a couple of live roulette games. Since their first UK game releases of Wheels of Rock, Journey to Chaos, and The Magnificent Super Slice back in April 2022, Raw has been pretty consistent with its new game drops, launching them in twos and threes just about every month and showing no signs of stopping! 

Raw iGaming slots

What makes Raw iGaming's slots different from the rest is their ingenious game design: the provider currently has two patents pending for their SuperSlice and SuperTracks registered slot mechanics, which we'll check out in more detail shortly. The group's goal is to really shake up the industry, moving away from the bog standard 5x3 reel setup and towards a more innovative way to play (trust me, some of these slots are insane!).

However, it's not just the mechanics of these slots that makes them appealing. Raw's plethora of themes covers everything from retro animated series like Popeye to Japanese ninjas, ancient Rome, Greek mythology, swashbuckling pirates, the wild west, Irish luck, fishing, and sweets. It's said often, but these guys really do have something for pretty much everyone!

Other Raw iGaming games

While Raw iGaming does focus most of its attention on slots creation, they do have a small handful of other games in their portfolio, three of which you'll find at PlayOJO. Blitz Roulette is a fast-paced real time automatic roulette game that features one to five random multipliers of 50x to 600x per spin of the wheel. Super Chance Roulette takes this concept even further with a live game show that sees 14 to 22 Super Chance slices highlighted on each spin. It's not just straight up bets that can benefit here: splits and corners will also qualify you for the bonus round and the chance to win up to 7,200x your bet. 

And for something completely different, Hugo Up and Away is a fun little crash game that's based on the troll character you might recognise from 90s after school TV. Watch the little guy fly his plane past villain Scylla's nasty traps and bail him and your winnings out before you both run out of luck!

Raw iGaming game features

Determined to rock the industry to its core, Raw iGaming focuses on creating really unique game mechanics by moving away from traditional reels and rows and throwing in mind-bending new designs to explore. Let's take a look at the array of absorbing features Raw has unleashed on the slots world.

Super Symbols

While it's not unusual to see slots with larger than normal symbols, especially on centre reels, Raw iGaming has pushed the envelope on this concept, creating massive Super Symbols that just keep on growing. In Almighty Lollipop, for example, various coloured sweets fall into the 5x6 grid, with adjacent matches of four or more merging into a Super Symbol and extra symbols joining on and expanding to make it even bigger. Super Symbols can also randomly upgrade to higher value symbols for even greater payout power.

Reel Splits and Reel Clones

Almighty Lollipop is also a great example of Raw's Reel Splits mechanic, which sees the grid increasing in size to incorporate additional reels, entirely at random. In this case, you can get up to four extra reels this way. During the game's free spins feature, Reel Splits are called Reel Clones as they are identical copies of adjacent reels, which can be instrumental in creating those win-boosting Super Symbols. 

Dynamic Ways

In the ancient Rome themed Ave Caesar, the unique Dynamic Ways mechanic means the height of each reel changes with every spin. The result is a slot with a minimum of 243 ways and a maximum of 3,125 ways.
