Relax Gaming's history since its 2010 founding, its distinctive ownership under Kindred Group (the operator behind brands like Unibet) rather than another slot-studio group, how its Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax platforms work — including the surprising fact that NoLimit City and Hacksaw Gaming both launched through Relax's own technical platform before becoming independent studios — its own most notable titles including the Money Train series and Dream Drop jackpot network, and how it compares to the other providers covered on this site

Relax Gaming occupies a genuinely unusual position among the studios covered on this site — not just a game developer, but a platform operator whose technical infrastructure helped launch other studios covered elsewhere on this site, including NoLimit City itself. This guide covers Relax Gaming's history, its two distinct platform businesses, its own notable titles, and how it compares to the other developers covered across this site.

Relax Gaming's History and Ownership

Relax Gaming was founded in 2010, and has grown into a genuinely large operation with offices across Belgrade, Stockholm, and Helsinki, employing more than 300 staff as of 2025. Its ownership structure is worth understanding specifically because it differs from every other studio covered on this site: rather than being owned by Evolution, Light & Wonder, or remaining independently run like Play'n GO, Relax Gaming is majority-owned by Kindred Group — the operator group behind betting and casino brands including Unibet, rather than another slot-content studio. Kindred first took a 33.4% stake in 2013, then completed the acquisition of the remaining shares on 1 October 2021, bringing its total holding to 93% of fully diluted shares, with the remaining 7% held by management through employee share option programmes. This is a genuinely different consolidation pattern from the studio-buys-studio model covered in this site's NetEnt, NoLimit City, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, and ELK Studios guides — here, a betting and gaming operator owns the content studio supplying (among many others) its own casino brands. Worth being precise about what this ownership structure does and doesn't mean: Kindred's majority stake gives it financial control over Relax Gaming as a company, but it doesn't restrict Relax's content to Kindred-owned casino brands alone — Relax's titles, and its wider Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax partner network, are distributed across the 250-plus operator network referenced below, spanning far beyond any single owner's own betting and casino products.

The Silver Bullet Platform: Distribution for Independent Studios

Silver Bullet is Relax Gaming's curated third-party distribution programme, letting independent studios that meet Relax's quality and compliance standards reach Relax's own network of 250-plus operators while keeping their own separate brand identity. This is a distribution relationship, not a development one — Silver Bullet studios build their own games independently and use Relax's existing regulatory and operator relationships to get those games to market faster than building out that infrastructure themselves. Print Studios and 4ThePlayer, both covered in their own dedicated guides on this site, are Silver Bullet partners, alongside further studios including Peter & Sons, ReelPlay, and AvatarUX.

Powered By Relax: The Platform That Launched NoLimit City

Powered By Relax is a genuinely different relationship from Silver Bullet — a white-label technical platform, including Relax's own Remote Gaming Server, mathematics tools, and built-in regulatory certifications, that other studios build their own games directly on top of. This is where the most surprising fact in this guide comes in: NoLimit City and Hacksaw Gaming — two of the most commercially successful slot studios of the past five years, with NoLimit City covered in its own dedicated guide on this site — both launched through Powered By Relax before becoming independently licensed studios in their own right. In NoLimit City's specific case, this means the studio now covered on this site as an Evolution-owned developer (acquired by Evolution in August 2022, as covered in that guide) actually began its commercial life running on Relax Gaming's own technical infrastructure — a genuinely layered piece of industry history connecting three separate ownership structures (Relax under Kindred, NoLimit City's own independent period, then NoLimit City under Evolution) across a single studio's timeline.

Relax Gaming's Own Notable Titles

Money Train stands as Relax Gaming's own most significant original franchise. Money Train 2, reported at 96.4% RTP with a 50,000x maximum win, and Money Train 4, reported at 96.2% RTP with a considerably higher 100,000x maximum win, are both built as extreme-volatility titles — a genuine step beyond the high-volatility classification more commonly seen across the wider slots market, reflecting how concentrated the format's win potential is within rare, large bonus-round outcomes rather than spread evenly across ordinary spins. Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop, reported at 96.2% RTP with a 20,000x max win, connects to Relax's own cross-game jackpot network specifically. The wider Money Train series has been extended across multiple sequels rather than remaining a single release, each building on the same core cascading-wins format while introducing new bonus-round mechanics — a similar sequel-driven approach to the franchise-building pattern already covered in this site's Play'n GO guide (the Rich Wilde and Reactoonz series) and Gonzo's Quest guide's own multi-title franchise coverage. Relax's own catalogue of roughly 350 titles sits considerably smaller than the 7,000-plus games accessible through its combined Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax partner network — a useful reminder that Relax Gaming's overall market presence is built as much through its platform business as through its own original game development.

The Dream Drop Jackpot Network

Dream Drop is Relax Gaming's own cross-game progressive jackpot system, linking multiple separate Relax-developed titles into a single shared jackpot pool with several tiers — reported to run from a smaller "Rapid" tier up through the network's top "Dream" level. This is a similar underlying concept to the shared-jackpot-across-multiple-titles structure covered in this site's Big Time Gaming guide (Megapays), though built as Relax's own separate proprietary system rather than any licensed relationship between the two studios — a further example of how the multi-game shared jackpot concept has been independently arrived at by more than one studio covered on this site, rather than being a single shared industry standard.

Silver Bullet vs. Powered By Relax, Side by Side

These two platforms are easy to conflate given they're both run by the same company, but they solve genuinely different problems for the studios that use them.

The practical distinction for a player: a Silver Bullet title is built entirely independently and simply reaches operators through Relax's distribution relationships, where a Powered By Relax title was built using Relax's own underlying technology — though once a studio like NoLimit City becomes fully independent, as it has, that historical technical relationship no longer affects how its current titles are built or operated.

Where to Play Relax Gaming Slots

Given Relax's own 250-plus operator network, its scale of more than 7,000 accessible titles across 50-plus partner studios, and Kindred Group's ownership backing, Relax-distributed content (both Relax's own titles and its Silver Bullet/Powered By Relax partners) reaches a substantial majority of UK-licensed casino operators. Checking a specific game's developer credit remains the reliable way to identify exactly which studio built a given title, particularly for Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax partner games where the "Relax Gaming" name may appear alongside the platform relationship without always making clear which company did the actual game design.

How Relax Gaming Compares to Other Providers Covered on This Site

Positioned against NoLimit City (covered in its own dedicated guide, and now Evolution-owned), the relationship is genuinely layered rather than a simple competitor comparison — NoLimit City's earliest commercial titles ran on Relax's own Powered By Relax infrastructure before the studio became independent and was later acquired by Evolution, making Relax Gaming an important piece of that studio's own origin story despite the two now sitting under entirely separate ownership. Positioned against Big Time Gaming (covered in a dedicated guide on this site), both studios have built cross-game shared jackpot networks — Megapays and Dream Drop respectively — arrived at independently rather than through any licensing relationship between the two. Positioned against Print Studios and 4ThePlayer (both covered in their own dedicated guides on this site and both Silver Bullet partners), Relax Gaming's role shifts from developer to distributor — supplying the operator network access those smaller studios use to reach UK-licensed casinos, rather than building the games itself.

Relax Gaming and UK Licensing

As with every developer covered on this site, Relax Gaming's titles — along with the Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax partner studios distributed through its platform — operate exclusively through UKGC-licensed casino operators for UK players, subject to the standard UK regulatory framework — RTP disclosure requirements, the mandatory online slots stake limits covered in this site's Penny & Low Stake Slots guide, and the minimum spin-speed and autoplay rules referenced elsewhere on this site. Given Relax's own Kindred Group ownership, it's worth being aware that Kindred's own betting and casino brands are among the operators Relax's content reaches — though Relax's own reported network extends to 250-plus operators overall, not exclusively Kindred-owned platforms.

A Practical Checklist Before Playing Relax Gaming Slots

Understand that "Relax Gaming" on a game's info screen can mean either a Relax-developed original or a Silver Bullet/Powered By Relax partner title — check the specific developer credit if you're trying to identify exactly which studio built a given game.

Treat Money Train's extreme-volatility classification as a genuine step beyond standard high volatility — expect longer stretches between significant wins than a typical high-volatility title, with most of the format's return concentrated in rare bonus-round outcomes.

Know that Dream Drop links multiple separate titles into one shared jackpot pool — similar in concept to Big Time Gaming's Megapays network but built as Relax's own separate system.

Remember NoLimit City's Relax-platform origins when comparing the two studios' catalogues — an interesting piece of history, though it doesn't affect either studio's current, entirely separate ownership and operations today.

Who Relax Gaming Slots Genuinely Suit

Good fit: players drawn to extreme-volatility titles like the Money Train series, anyone interested in a shared multi-game jackpot network via Dream Drop, and readers curious about the platform side of the slots industry rather than just individual games.

Less suited: players looking for a gentler, more consistent volatility profile — Relax's own flagship titles lean toward the higher-variance end of the market, and Money Train specifically is built for patience over steady, frequent returns.
