About High 5 Games
Thirty years is a long time to stay independent in any industry. In iGaming, where studios get acquired, absorbed, and consolidated almost as a matter of course, it is remarkable. High 5 Games was founded in 1995 by Anthony Singer in New Jersey, released its first video slot in 2002, and three decades later remains the largest independent casino games provider in the world. No Microgaming acquisition. No Light and Wonder buyout. Just a studio that built its own platform, its own distribution network, its own social casino, and a catalogue of over 500 games available across six continents in more than 150 countries.
The headquarters are now in New York’s World Trade Center, with additional offices in New Jersey, Kansas City, London, and Gibraltar. That footprint reflects how genuinely global the operation has become, but the DNA is still distinctly American. Where European studios tend toward mathematical precision and Scandinavian minimalism, High 5 Games has always leaned into artistic ambition, narrative richness, and the kind of visual spectacle that translates well to both a casino floor and a mobile screen. Games draw inspiration from fine art, Renaissance history, mythology, nature, and fantasy in ways that feel genuinely considered rather than superficially applied.
The title that made the studio’s reputation globally is Da Vinci Diamonds, released in 2012, which won IGT Online Game of the Year and introduced the Split Symbols mechanic at a scale that had not been attempted before. In a Da Vinci Diamonds spin, a single reel position can count as two identical symbols simultaneously, dramatically increasing the frequency of winning combinations and giving the free spins round a sustained momentum that kept players in sessions far longer than a standard title. The sequels Double Da Vinci Diamonds and Triple Double Da Vinci Diamonds expanded the concept further and the franchise remains one of the most recognised in both land-based and online play.
Golden Goddess followed in 2013 and became another landmark release, built around a romantic mythological narrative with Super Stacks as its signature mechanic, where entire reels fill with a single randomly chosen symbol from a possible set each spin, creating the potential for massive line hits when the stacked symbol aligns across multiple reels. Secrets of the Forest, Bear Mountain, Betti the Yetti, A Night of Mystery, and the Green Machine series further established a catalogue identity built around distinctive artistic themes and mechanics that rewarded longer play rather than short bursts.
More recently the studio has pushed into genuinely ambitious mechanical territory. The Loot Link mechanic, appearing across titles including Da Vinci Loot Link, creates a secondary collect-and-pay system where link symbols accumulate prize values across a respin sequence. The Way Out Ways format can produce up to one million ways to win. The Infinity mechanic, introduced in Golden Knight Infinity, awards a free spin with every win, creating a cascade of potential respins that keeps the bonus phase alive until the winning streak breaks. The Racking Up Riches engine and the Power Bet system, which allows players to modify the game on a spin-by-spin basis to increase win potential at a proportionally higher stake, round out a suite of proprietary mechanics that have grown considerably beyond the studio’s original Split Symbol and Super Stacks foundations.
The High 5 Casino social platform, launched in 2012 with just 30 games, now hosts nearly 17 million players worldwide and over 400 titles. The studio also operates its own real-money online casino launched in 2020, making High 5 Games one of the very few content studios in the industry that is simultaneously a B2B game supplier, a social casino operator, and a real-money casino platform. RTPs across the catalogue average around 95% to 95.5%, volatility spans low through high, and maximum wins reach up to 20,230x on select titles. All games are licensed by the UKGC and MGA, independently audited, and fully optimised for mobile and desktop.
“High 5 Games are a studio that more players should know about. Da Vinci Diamonds is a proper classic and the Super Stacks mechanic in Golden Goddess still holds up brilliantly. The newer Infinity and Loot Link mechanics show a studio that keeps evolving without losing what made them good in the first place. A genuinely impressive independent operation that has built something most studios their size could not have done without being acquired.” Mark, Content Editor
“Da Vinci Diamonds got me into slots properly and I have been going back to the High 5 catalogue ever since. Golden Goddess with Super Stacks is still one of my most played games and the Infinity mechanic in Golden Knight is just endlessly satisfying when it gets going. Thirty years independent and still putting out quality. Class act.” Aisley, Fruity Slots Streamer
FAQs about High 5 Games
-
High 5 Games has been independent since 1995. How has that shaped the studio?
Independence has given High 5 Games the freedom to build on their own terms across three decades, developing their own Remote Game Server, their own social casino platform with nearly 17 million players, and their own real-money casino operation alongside the B2B content business. Founder Anthony Singer built the studio without selling to any of the major consolidators that have absorbed most comparable studios, and that autonomy is visible in how differently the catalogue reads compared to studios operating inside larger corporate structures. -
What is the Split Symbols mechanic and which games use it?
Split Symbols, introduced in Da Vinci Diamonds and recognising the game IGT Online Game of the Year in 2010, allows a single reel position to count as two identical symbols simultaneously. This increases the frequency of matching combinations across paylines dramatically, and gives free spins rounds a sustained momentum where cascading wins feed into retriggering conditions far more often than standard reel mechanics. Double Da Vinci Diamonds and Triple Double Da Vinci Diamonds extended the concept further. -
What is the Super Stacks mechanic in Golden Goddess?
Before each spin, a symbol is randomly selected from a pool of potential stacking candidates. That symbol then appears in stacked form across multiple reels simultaneously, meaning if the chosen symbol happens to land across all five reels in the same spin, the payline count multiplies dramatically. The mechanic rewards patience across sessions and creates peaks of intense excitement when the stack aligns correctly. -
What is the Infinity mechanic in Golden Knight Infinity?
Every winning spin in the Infinity feature awards a free respin, and that respin is also eligible for another win which awards another respin, creating a chain that continues until a non-winning spin breaks the streak. Jackpots, multipliers, and a Bonus Select feature sit alongside the core mechanic, and the Power Bets system allows players to modify the volatility profile on a spin-by-spin basis for a proportionally larger stake. -
What RTP and volatility can I expect from High 5 Games?
RTPs across the catalogue average around 95% to 95.5%, which sits slightly below the European industry standard but reflects the studio’s American land-based heritage. Volatility spans the full spectrum from low through high, with maximum wins reaching up to 20,230x on certain titles. The studio offers low-volatility options for casual session play and high-volatility titles with significant jackpot and win potential for players chasing larger payouts.
