Storm Gaming

Storm Gaming’s catalogue reads like the work of two different studios. Its Megaways titles chase enormous top prizes, while its 2025 releases are small, low-volatility games with caps in the hundreds. Both sides play here as free demos.

A Land-Based Studio Moves Online

Richard Sheldon founded Storm in 2002, and the company spent its early years building gaming terminals and software for UK and European venues. Online slots came later, served through its own Titanium RGS platform. In September 2018 Storm licensed the Megaways mechanic from Big Time Gaming, and Magic Merlin Megaways followed in 2019. US group Primero Games took a majority stake in June 2022, with Sheldon keeping a shareholding.

Two Very Different Maths Models

The Megaways side is where the large numbers live. Megaways Mob, a crime caper on 117,649 ways, caps out at 76,000x, and Magic Merlin Megaways at 50,000x. Monsters of Rock Megaways and The Last Vikings Megaways use the same six-reel grid with lower caps. The 2025 releases go the other way. Flamin’ Hot 7’s squeezes a fruit machine onto a 3×3 grid with 5 lines and a 650x cap, and Bass Bounty Frenzy tops out at 500x, both rated Low volatility. A few titles, including The Stretchables and Chili Hot Pots, state their top prize as £250,000 in cash rather than a multiple of the stake.

RTPs cluster close to 96%, running from 93.93% on Popcorn to 96.36% on Magic Merlin Megaways.
