About Reel Play
Sydney, Australia has produced some genuinely interesting slot studios, but ReelPlay might be the most mechanically ambitious of them all.
The studio that exists today started life in 2014 under the name Chance Interactive, a small team of Sydney-based developers who described themselves simply as real slots players who know what slots players need. Five years of building games for third-party clients and quietly developing their own craft led to a rebrand in 2019, a new name, and a new phase that would put them properly on the map.
The catalyst was Infinity Reels, a proprietary mechanic that ReelPlay invented and patented, and that genuinely changed the conversation about what a slot grid could do. Rather than a fixed number of reels, Infinity Reels games start with three reels and add a new one every time a winning combination lands. Each additional reel increases a running multiplier by 1x, meaning consecutive wins do not just pay more, they pay more with a growing multiplier attached to every subsequent win. Land a full screen of matching symbols across an ever-expanding grid and the multiplier can reach levels that standard grids simply cannot produce.
El Dorado Infinity Reels, the debut release of the rebranded studio, launched in 2019 with a 96.54% RTP, medium to high volatility, and a maximum win of 6,250x. It found an audience quickly and set the template for everything that followed.
The mechanic proved influential enough that NetEnt developed a similar concept called InfiniReels, leading to an amicable agreement between the two studios. ReelPlay subsequently licensed Infinity Reels to other developers, a meaningful commercial endorsement of how significant the invention was considered to be within the industry.
The catalogue that grew around the Infinity Reels franchise is broad and varied. Giza Infinity Reels dropped the mechanic into an Egyptian pyramid setting. Tiki Infinity Reels Megaways combined Infinity Reels with the Big Time Gaming Megaways engine on the same grid, an ambitious mechanic fusion that delivered up to 117,649 ways to win. Zodiac Infinity Reels gave players the ability to choose their own wild symbol from the twelve zodiac signs, feeding into a five-tier bonus wheel. Age of Beasts Infinity Reels and Odin Infinity Reels extended the franchise further. Beyond the Infinity Reels family, Hypernova Megaways became one of the studio’s most played titles, a galactic space adventure with Jackpot Respins, fixed jackpots, free spins, and 117,649 ways to win. Merlin’s 10K Ways deployed the licensed 10K Ways engine across a 4x5x5x5x5x4 layout with a 10,000x maximum win. Lions GigaBlox applied Yggdrasil’s GigaBlox mechanic to an African savanna setting with supersized symbols across a 6×4 grid with 40 paylines.
The studio also acts as a finished game production partner, taking concepts from other developers and producing the final slot product on their behalf, a dual role that gave ReelPlay unusually broad technical experience across different studios’ approaches. Distribution runs through Relax Gaming and multiple major aggregators, with games available at operators including LeoVegas, Bet365, William Hill, Betsson, Unibet, and PokerStars.
All games are independently audited by eCOGRA and GLI and licensed by the UKGC and MGA. Average RTPs across the catalogue sit between 95% and 96%, volatility runs from medium through to high, and all titles are built in HTML5 for full compatibility across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
“ReelPlay deserve enormous credit for the Infinity Reels mechanic. The fact that NetEnt built something similar tells you how significant the idea was, and the franchise they built around it is genuinely strong. Giza Infinity Reels is a personal favourite and Hypernova Megaways is a real crowd pleaser. A studio that punches well above its weight in terms of mechanical invention.” Mark, Content Editor
“Love the Infinity Reels games. There is something genuinely exciting about watching that grid expand and the multiplier climb with every new reel added. Zodiac Infinity Reels is brilliant with the wild symbol choice and Tiki Infinity Reels Megaways is just chaos in the best possible way. ReelPlay are one of the more underrated studios out there.” Jamie R, Slot Streamer

FAQs about Reel Play

ReelPlay and Chance Interactive. Are they the same studio?

The studio was founded in Sydney, Australia in 2014 under the name Chance Interactive, spending its first five years building games for third-party clients and developing its own mechanical ideas.

What is the Infinity Reels mechanic and who invented it?
ReelPlay invented and patented Infinity Reels. Rather than a fixed grid, the mechanic starts with three reels and adds a new one on the right every time a winning combination lands.
