Key Facts

Inside Apparat Gaming

That phrase is Apparat’s own description of what it does, and its site signs off with a note that everything is made in Berlin and Malta. The company behind the games, Apparat Gaming Services Ltd, is registered in Valletta and supplies them under a Malta Gaming Authority B2B licence. It has also announced ISO 27001 certification, in a post headed “Official. Certified. Insufferably thorough.”

The German accent is easy to hear in the games. Free spins go by the name Free Games, fruit and sevens fill many of the paytables, and titles such as 40 Sevens and 100 Sevens are named after their line counts. The earliest Apparat slot in our library is Pharaoh Princess from April 2022.

Slots and Formats

• Sevens. 40 Sevens plays 40 lines on a 5×4 grid, and 100 Sevens raises that to 100.
• Nine-cell games. Ultimate Diamonds and Fruity Diamonds pay on three rows and two diagonals. Blitz Coins and Super Piggy Coins use the same 3×3 board with no line pays.
• 10-line slots. Sticky Star Fruits, King of the Vikings, Caesar’s Legions, Piggy Kings and Pharaoh Princess all keep to 10 lines on 5×3 reels.
• 20-line slots. 5 Moon Wolf, Mummy Bomb, Bullet8 Train, Moonstroke and 3 Golden Cherries.
• 40 lines. Total Eclipse XXL and Fruit Storm share the 5×4 layout of 40 Sevens.
• Outliers. Gates of Ishtar pays for eight or more of a symbol anywhere on a 6×5 grid, and Boom! Boom! Mine ‘Em All pays 243 ways.

How the Games Play

The plainest Apparat games are the sevens. 40 Sevens awards 10, 15 or 50 Free Games for three, four or five Stars, and 100 Sevens lifts the top award to 100. Ultimate Diamonds and Fruity Diamonds shrink the format to a 3×3 board with five lines, with a Hold & Spin round in Fruity Diamonds when three Diamonds land on the middle reel.

A second group shares one trigger. In Sticky Star Fruits, King of the Vikings and Caesar’s Legions, three Scatters on the first, third and fifth reels start a set of Free Games with Sticky Wilds. The first two give 10 spins and Caesar’s Legions gives 12, and in King of the Vikings and Caesar’s Legions the round can’t be retriggered. If you like sticky Wild slots, these are the ones to load.

The most inventive titles change the shape of the board. Total Eclipse XXL turns its 5×4 reels into a 5×8 grid of 40 single reels for the Eclipse Spins, then opens only the bottom 20 and keeps the rest locked at first. Mummy Bomb starts its Hold & Spin Free Games with just the five central cells open, and each cell touching a Coin or an active Bomb opens next, so the board spreads outwards. Blitz Coins strips everything back to one symbol on a 3×3 grid. It pays nothing in regular play, and stacking Coins on a reel starts a three-spin round that resets with each new Coin. Piggy Kings puts three pigs called Spinny, Boosty and Twinny over the reels, each with a feature of its own.

RTP and Risk Level

Apparat’s returns hardly vary. All of the demos here sit between 96% on Blitz Coins and 96.24% on Total Eclipse XXL, so RTP isn’t much help in choosing between them. Volatility separates the range better. The sevens games are rated Low-Medium, while Total Eclipse XXL, Moonstroke, Gates of Ishtar and Blitz Coins are all High volatility.

The caps follow the ratings closely. 40 Sevens, 100 Sevens and Pharaoh Princess stop at 2,000x. A run of 2026 releases, Mummy Bomb, Bullet8 Train and Piggy Kings, share a 7,500x cap with Ultimate Diamonds. The biggest numbers belong to Total Eclipse XXL at 11,000x, Moonstroke at 12,500x and Blitz Coins at 25,000x.
