WINSHARK88 · PROVIDER GUIDES
Each Pragmatic Play pokie at winshark88 uses one of five layouts: fixed lines, a taller 5×4 grid, pays anywhere, clusters or Megaways. Find out which rule each of the 18 online slots follows, then compare RTP, volatility and max win in one table.
First check how a Pragmatic Play pokie decides that a spin has paid. The 18 Pragmatic Play slots at winshark88 casino use five layouts:
A pay line is a fixed path across the reels. A spin pays when matching symbols sit along one of them, and each game's paytable draws every path. More lines means more paths, not bigger prizes.
Joker's Jewels is the classic: five lines on a 5×3 screen. The joker pays as much as 1,000x, and bonus symbols pay 10x to 250x wherever they land, ignoring the lines. Its max win is 1,040x the bet, the smallest of the 18; its volatility rating is shown in the game info.
Four games share a 10-line, 5×3 layout but differ once a feature starts.
The Dog House uses 20 lines on a 5×3 screen. Wilds on reels 2 to 4 carry multipliers and turn sticky in free spins, staying put for the round. The max win is shown in the game info.
Wolf Gold has the most lines here, 25 on a 5×3 screen, plus a Money Respin with three jackpots (the top one worth 1,000x) and free spins with giant symbols on reels 2 to 4.
Wild West Gold adds a row: a 5×4 grid instead of 5×3. Wilds carry 2x, 3x or 5x multipliers, and when more than one wild is part of the same win, their values add together: a 2x and a 5x wild make 7x. In free spins those wilds are sticky, so each one can add to later wins. High volatility, a 10,000x max win and a 96.51% RTP.
On a 6×5 grid, 8 or more matching symbols pay wherever they sit, touching or not. The games also tumble: winning symbols clear and new ones fall into the gaps, so one spin can keep paying until no new win forms.
Sugar Rush and Fruit Party use a 7×7 grid where a win needs matching symbols joined side by side.
In Sugar Rush, a cluster needs 5 or more symbols. Each winning position is marked, and a later win on a marked spot gains a multiplier that keeps doubling, as high as 128x. During free spins the marked spots stay for the whole round. In Fruit Party, winning symbols can carry a 2x multiplier, or 2x or 4x in free spins, and these combine to a ceiling of 256x. Both are high volatility with a 5,000x max win and a 96.50% RTP.
Each Megaways reel shows a different number of symbols every spin, so the count of winning combinations changes too. Great Rhino Megaways and Buffalo King Megaways list more than 200,000 ways.
The pays-anywhere example: 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid pay. Tumbles can chain wins, multiplier symbols run from 2x to 500x, and in free spins every multiplier joins a running total. High volatility, 96.50% RTP and a max win of 5,000x the bet.
Same counting rule and tumbles, with 2x to 100x multiplier symbols listed for the 10 free spins that 4 to 6 scatters unlock. High volatility and a 96.48% RTP. The max win is shown in the game info.
The fixed-line example: 25 lines on five reels, a Money Respin with three jackpots topped by a 1,000x prize, and free spins with giant symbols on the middle reels. It is the only medium-volatility game in the table, with a 96.01% RTP.

RTP is the share of all stakes a game pays back over a very large number of spins, not a forecast for one session. Pragmatic Play supplies a choice of RTP settings and each casino picks one, so a title can show a different figure elsewhere. winshark88 runs each game on its default, highest setting, so the table shows the figure in force here: from 96.71% for the three 10-line money games down to 96.01% for Wolf Gold.
Volatility describes how wins are spread. Sixteen games here are rated high, meaning longer quiet spells between larger payouts; Wolf Gold is medium.
Pragmatic Play is headquartered in Gibraltar, with more than 500 in-house slots plus live casino and other products. Its games run on mobile and desktop in 33 languages, and they are RNG-tested and certified by Gaming Laboratories International, Quinel and Gaming Associates.

Eight of them. Joker's Jewels has 5 lines; Big Bass Bonanza, Big Bass Splash, Floating Dragon Hold and Spin and John Hunter and the Book of Tut have 10; The Dog House has 20; and Wolf Gold has 25.
There are no lines. On the 6×5 grid, 8 or more matching symbols pay wherever they land, even if they do not touch. Winning symbols then tumble away and new ones fall in.
They use clusters on a 7×7 grid, so matching symbols must touch each other to pay. Sugar Rush needs at least 5 in a group and marks the winning spots, which can build multipliers as high as 128x.
The reel heights change each spin, so the number of ways changes too. Pragmatic Play lists over 200,000 ways for Great Rhino Megaways and Buffalo King Megaways.
Not by itself. Wolf Gold has 25 lines and Joker's Jewels has 5, but the paytable and features set the size of wins.
Pragmatic Play supplies a choice of RTP settings and each casino picks one. winshark88 runs every Pragmatic Play game on its default, highest setting.
