Reel Time Gaming Slots & Where to Play Eye of Horus

By Jack Henshaw, Head Writer · Published 6 July 2026 · Last updated 10 July 2026

Reel Time Gaming is the Queensland studio behind two of the biggest slot names in UK cabinets and casinos: Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus both started life as its own land-based machines before Blueprint Gaming took them online, and both still carry the Reel Time name in later editions (Fishin’ Frenzy Reel Time Fortune Play, Fishin’ Frenzy Reel Time Fortune Spins). Founded in Brisbane in 2009 by former Novomatic designer Martin Visocnik, the studio built a 100+ title catalogue first for physical cabinets, then for the online market via a 2013 GameAccount Network deal, and now supplies Blueprint, Merkur and (via White Hat Studios) the US market as an independent partner rather than an owned subsidiary. Our verdict: 7/10. Below we rank the best Reel Time Gaming slots, review the two franchises that made it famous alongside the Game Ring cabinet concept, list the UKGC-licensed Reel Time Gaming casinos where its games actually appear, and open the full licence file — including how to tell the studio apart from the unrelated Real Time Gaming (RTG).

The best Reel Time Gaming slots: 10 games that actually matter

Reel Time Gaming’s own games page currently lists 33 titles in total, including Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus themselves, before counting Blueprint’s separately-branded Megaways, Jackpot King and Fortune Play/Spins spin-offs of those two franchises — these ten are the releases that show the studio’s “everything stays on screen” free-games format and its land-based cabinet roots most clearly. RTPs quoted are published defaults where Reel Time Gaming or its distributors publish them; several titles simply don’t disclose one publicly, which we’ve flagged rather than guessed. The full ranked catalogue is near the end of the page.

1. Fishin’ Frenzy (2014 online, via Blueprint Gaming)

The studio’s single biggest export: a boat-and-tackle theme built as a land-based cabinet game first, then converted for online play by Blueprint Gaming in 2014 with a published RTP of 96.12% and a top prize widely quoted at up to 10,000x stake. Three, four or five boat scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free games, and a fisherman symbol that “reels in” every fish left on screen during the bonus round became one of the most imitated free-spin formats in the industry. Later Blueprint-built entries in the family, including Fishin’ Frenzy Reel Time Fortune Play and Fishin’ Frenzy Reel Time Fortune Spins, still carry the Reel Time name directly in their titles.

2. Eye of Horus (2016 online, via Blueprint Gaming/Merkur)

An Ancient Egypt theme and the studio’s second land-based-to-online crossover success, released online in 2016 with review sites quoting RTP figures that cluster around 96.3% (specific published numbers vary very slightly by source and distributor build) and a headline win widely reported at up to 20,000x stake in some Blueprint editions. Three or more pyramid scatters trigger 12 free games, and expanding Horus wilds both substitute for other symbols and extend the round — the same “nothing resets” pacing Reel Time uses across most of its catalogue. Blueprint has since spun the property into Megaways, Jackpot King and Power 4 Reels variants, but the core mechanic traces straight back to this original build.

3. El Torero

A bullfighting-arena theme built around a matador wild that, once it lands during the bonus round, stays on screen and substitutes for every other symbol for the rest of the feature. Three bull scatters trigger 10 free games, and the longer the matador wild survives across spins the more of the board it can end up covering — a simple idea Reel Time has reused, with different dressing, across several of its other flagship titles.

4. Kong’s Temple

A jungle-temple theme built around Reel Time’s own published claim of up to 8x multiplier wins layered onto the base free-games format, with mighty gorilla symbols guarding an “ancient, treasure-filled temple” per the studio’s own game description. It’s a smaller, less-exported title than Fishin’ Frenzy or Eye of Horus, but a clean example of Reel Time building an entirely original IP around its house mechanic rather than only working through licensed partners.

5. 15 Samurai

A feudal-Japan theme in which a samurai warrior symbol “substitutes for all symbols” and remains locked in place through the feature, building rewards progressively rather than paying out in one flat hit. It’s one of the clearer catalogue entries showing Reel Time applying its persistent-wild format to an entirely different visual world from El Torero or Kong’s Temple, without changing the underlying maths much at all.

6. Convertus Aurum

An alchemy theme in which an Alchemist character converts royal-card symbols into gold symbols during the free-games round, escalating the paytable in real time rather than through a separate multiplier meter. It’s a good showcase of Reel Time’s habit of dressing the same underlying “upgrade the board, don’t reset it” idea in a fresh costume for every release.

7. Savanna Stampede

An African-plains theme with a lion wild that substitutes for every winning combination, and a sunset scatter trigger that Reel Time’s own site describes as awarding “up to 20 free games with extra bonus stampedes” — language that suggests an escalating retrigger mechanic layered on top of the standard format, though the studio doesn’t publish the exact mechanics of the “stampede” bonus beyond that description.

8. Triple Flame

A classic fruit-machine theme, first released in 2018, where an expanding flame wild fills an entire reel and triggers a held-wild respin, with published max wins around 100x stake on the base game — modest against the studio’s Egyptian and jungle-themed titles, but a deliberately old-school, low-volatility release aimed at fruit-machine traditionalists. An optional 50/50 card-gamble feature after winning spins is a nod to the studio’s land-based arcade roots.

9. Mermaid Queen

An underwater theme with a Captain wild that doubles winning combinations and a mermaid scatter that triggers 15 free games with all prizes tripled, according to Reel Time’s own game description. It’s a straightforward multiplier-stacking release rather than a technical showcase, but a solid mid-catalogue entry that’s toured a reasonable number of UKGC-licensed lobbies over the years.

10. Fruitinator

A “classic style fruits” release with a published max win of up to 5,000x line bet in a single spin — among the highest ceiling Reel Time publishes on any of its own-branded titles, on an otherwise deliberately simple, nostalgia-driven format. It rounds out this list as the plainest possible demonstration that Reel Time’s land-based instincts (simple rules, chunky symbols, a big number on the tin) never fully left the online catalogue.

Reel Time Gaming vs the studios it competes with

Reel Time Gaming sits in an unusual bracket: a land-based-heritage studio whose biggest wins came from licensing its cabinet hits onward rather than distributing everything itself. Against our previously reviewed studios:

The honest read: Reel Time Gaming is the only studio in this bracket that doesn’t control its own online distribution — it licenses its biggest hits to Blueprint Gaming and Merkur rather than running them under its own banner, which is exactly why so few UK players could name the company behind Fishin’ Frenzy even though nearly all of them have played it. That’s a genuinely different shape of business to Aristocrat Interactive, which followed a similar land-based-to-online arc from Sydney but kept its digital division in-house after the NeoGames acquisition, and to AGS, the Las Vegas cabinet manufacturer that also grew up on physical casino floors but built its own 80+ title in-house digital studio (AGSi) rather than routing through a third-party publisher. Reel Time’s approach means its commercial fate is tied to how well Blueprint and Merkur keep marketing Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus, rather than to a brand UK players would ever search for by name — a trade-off Skywind Group, which built its recognition on owning branded IP outright, doesn’t share.

Reel Time Gaming games: the families, in depth

Reel Time’s catalogue splits cleanly into the two licensed-onward franchises that made its name and the wider self-branded catalogue most UK players have never directly encountered. The full ranked list covers the rest.

The Fishin’ Frenzy franchise

What began as a single land-based cabinet game is now a sprawling family under Blueprint Gaming’s stewardship — Fishin’ Frenzy, Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways, Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch, Fishin’ Frenzy All Stars and several Reel Time Fortune Play/Fortune Spins variants that still carry the original studio’s name in the title, decades after the concept first appeared on a casino floor.

The Eye of Horus franchise

The second of Reel Time’s two breakout properties, now extended by Blueprint and Merkur into Eye of Horus Megaways, Eye of Horus Power 4 Slots, Eye of Horus Jackpot King and Eye of Horus The Golden Tablet Jackpot King — each adding a different modern mechanic on top of the same 2016 core game.

The self-branded catalogue

El Torero, Kong’s Temple, 15 Samurai, Convertus Aurum, Savanna Stampede, Mermaid Queen, Triple Flame and Fruitinator are the most exported of a considerably larger self-branded catalogue that also includes 7 Seas Pirates, Cat-Ching, Derby Day, Disco Fever, Fortune Seeker, Gong-Hei Gong-Hei, Holey Moley, Knockout Wins, Magic Tree, Spin a Winner, The Diamond Game, Tridentia, Trophy Tycoon, Wishing Well and Woop Woop — all sitting outside the two big franchises entirely, released and marketed under the Reel Time Gaming name itself rather than being handed to a distribution partner to rebrand. The full list, ranked, is in the catalogue table below.

The land-based cabinet estate

Beneath all of the above sits the original business: physical gaming cabinets, including the multi-game Game Ring concept, sold into casino floors under Reel Time’s own Gaming Machine Technical Full licence — the side of the business that rarely reaches UK online players directly but still anchors the whole studio.

Signature mechanics & technology

Reel Time’s toolkit leans on one consistent free-games idea, deployed across very different themes, plus one genuine piece of cabinet hardware:

The “nothing resets” free-games format

Across Fishin’ Frenzy, Eye of Horus, El Torero, 15 Samurai and Kong’s Temple, the studio’s recurring trick is a symbol that stays locked on the board through the whole bonus round rather than the reels resetting between spins — the fisherman that “reels in” every fish, the Horus wild that expands and extends, the matador and samurai wilds that spread and persist. It’s a simple idea, but a distinctive one: escalation without a separate multiplier meter bolted on top.

Game Ring

Reel Time’s own land-based hardware concept: a single cabinet console that can display a “Ring” of up to ten different games, switchable between a ring view and a grid view, letting operators offer a wide spread of gambling styles from one physical machine rather than installing separate units for each. It’s the clearest evidence the studio’s roots are still in cabinet manufacturing, not purely digital game design.

TAB Austria hardware heritage

Reel Time’s early physical cabinets were built on TAB Austria hardware, tying the studio into the wider European land-based supply chain that also produced names like Novomatic-adjacent cabinet manufacturers — a detail that helps explain why founder Martin Visocnik’s Novomatic background translated so directly into Reel Time’s own cabinet business.

Reel Time Gaming slots RTP: the real numbers

The defaults: published figures cluster in the 94–96% band across the catalogue, with Fishin’ Frenzy’s Blueprint-published 96.12% and Eye of Horus’s commonly-quoted ~96.3% (sources vary by a few hundredths of a percent depending on the specific build) as the two most-cited numbers in the whole catalogue.

Multiple builds, different numbers: because Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus have both been distributed and re-built repeatedly by Blueprint and Merkur across more than a decade, RTP and max-win figures genuinely vary between specific editions of what looks like “the same game” — always check the in-game paytable of the exact variant you’re playing rather than assuming a figure quoted for one version applies to all of them.

Max wins: Fruitinator’s published ceiling of up to 5,000x line bet is the highest figure the studio discloses on one of its own-branded titles; some Blueprint-built Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus editions are separately quoted at up to 10,000x–20,000x stake, though these figures belong to Blueprint’s specific builds rather than Reel Time’s own original releases. Our responsible gambling guide applies as always.

From Brisbane cabinets to Blueprint’s biggest online exports

The arc that matters: a Brisbane cabinet manufacturer built two of the most-played online slot names in the UK almost by accident of licensing — Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus made Blueprint Gaming’s name as much as Reel Time’s own, and the studio has stayed content to be the quiet supplier behind franchises millions of players know without knowing who actually made them.

The story behind Reel Time Gaming

Martin Visocnik, from Book of Ra to Brisbane

Reel Time Gaming’s founder is widely reported across industry sources as Martin Visocnik, previously a game designer at Novomatic credited with contributing to the design of Book of Ra — one of the best-known slot titles in continental Europe. We’ve hedged the exact scope of that Novomatic credit deliberately, since Reel Time itself doesn’t publish a detailed founder biography and the claim rests on trade-press and directory sources rather than the studio’s own site; what’s well corroborated is that Visocnik leads Reel Time from Brisbane today, and that the studio’s cabinet-first, mechanically-simple design philosophy fits a designer with deep roots in land-based machines rather than online-native game studios.

A cabinet company that became a licensing story

Reel Time never set out to be an online-first studio: its 2013 GameAccount Network deal was about digitising an existing land-based catalogue, not building new online IP from scratch. That accident of timing is exactly why Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus ended up in Blueprint Gaming’s hands rather than under Reel Time’s own online banner.

Staying independent through two ownership waves

Blueprint Gaming was fully absorbed into the Gauselmann Group by 2012, and White Hat Studios formed in 2021 by acquiring an RGS, brand and catalogue from Blueprint for the US market — but Reel Time Gaming itself stayed outside both structures, remaining a privately-held, independent supplier throughout.

Is Reel Time Gaming fair? Licensing, regulation & the record

Checked against the Gambling Commission’s public register on 6 July 2026.

The licence. Reel Time Gaming Enterprises PTY Limited holds UKGC account 40859, with a Gambling Software (Remote) licence current and Active since 8 August 2018, and a Gaming Machine Technical Full (Remote) licence current and Active since 31 March 2015 — the second licence reflecting the studio’s land-based cabinet heritage directly. The company is registered in Queensland, Australia. Verify it yourself on the UKGC public register.

The record. Clean: no UKGC enforcement action against Reel Time Gaming Enterprises PTY Limited that we can find.

So is it fair? Yes — certified RNG across the catalogue, two active and long-standing UK licences (one specifically covering gaming machine technical standards), and its two flagship franchises are distributed through Blueprint Gaming’s and Merkur’s own independently regulated platforms.

The biggest Reel Time Gaming wins

Reel Time’s headline story is licensing reach, not a single documented record jackpot under its own name. Documented context only:

Beyond the reels

The corners of the story the ranking competitors never reach:

The studio nobody names, everybody’s played

Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus are two of the most recognisable slot titles on any UK casino floor or app, yet ask most players who makes them and you’ll get “Blueprint Gaming” as the answer — Reel Time’s licensing-first business model means it built two genuine hits without becoming a household name itself.

A cabinet business hiding behind two online giants

Beneath the online catalogue is still a working land-based cabinet manufacturer holding its own Gaming Machine Technical Full licence with the UKGC — a side of the business that rarely surfaces for online players but explains why Reel Time’s games so often feel like they were designed for a physical machine first.

Game Ring’s multi-game concept, years ahead of its online equivalent

Long before “game aggregator” lobbies became standard on online casino sites, Reel Time’s Game Ring cabinet was solving the same problem in hardware — letting one physical console offer up to ten different games rather than committing floor space to a single title.

The company behind the games

Reel Time Gaming’s own site is deliberately minimal: a games catalogue, a Game Ring product page and a short About Us section, with none of the certifications, testimonials or leadership bios that larger studios publish. Beyond its two active UKGC licences, the company doesn’t publicly list additional lab certifications (GLI, ISO or similar) on its own site — a contrast with the bigger platform-heritage studios covered elsewhere on this site, though not unusual for a studio that reaches players through distribution partners rather than marketing itself directly.

New Reel Time Gaming slots: what’s launched for 2025–26

The state of Reel Time Gaming right now: still expanding through its distribution partners rather than a high-profile solo release calendar, with Blueprint continuing to add Reel Time-sourced titles to its RGS platform.

All shipped through Blueprint’s distribution rather than a standalone Reel Time online release — the pattern that’s defined the studio’s entire online era continues. Paytable first, always.

What players actually say

From forums and review comment sections where Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus are discussed constantly — almost always without players realising both trace back to the same original studio. Our words, cons intact.

The love: Fishin’ Frenzy’s fisherman bonus and Eye of Horus’s expanding-wild free games are both cited again and again as genuinely satisfying, easy-to-understand formats that reward patience during the bonus round rather than relying on confusing modifier stacks. Players also consistently note both games are widely available and easy to find at almost any UKGC-licensed casino.

The gripes, plainly: because Blueprint and Merkur have rebuilt both franchises so many times (Megaways, Jackpot King, Fortune Play, All Stars and more), players regularly complain it’s hard to know which specific version they’re playing or what RTP applies to it without checking the paytable carefully first. Reel Time’s own self-branded catalogue beyond the two big franchises is also much less discussed online, and several of its own-published game pages simply don’t disclose RTP at all — a transparency gap this page has flagged rather than glossed over.

The thirty-second version of everything above:

Our verdict on Reel Time Gaming

Slot Providers score: 7/10 — a Brisbane land-based specialist that built two of the UK’s most-played online slot franchises through licensing rather than direct distribution, at the cost of ever becoming a name players actually recognise.

Reel Time Gaming suits players who already love Fishin’ Frenzy or Eye of Horus and want to understand where those formats actually came from, and anyone who enjoys a simple, escalating free-games round without a confusing stack of modifiers. Look elsewhere if you want a studio that publishes RTP and max-win data consistently across its whole catalogue — Aristocrat Interactive and AGS both disclose more of that detail directly on their own sites.

Every Reel Time Gaming slot that matters, ranked

From a catalogue the studio itself puts at 100+ titles, the entries that matter, ranked by all-time greatness — craft, influence, maths and staying power blended. Availability, RTP and even the exact game name vary considerably by distributor and casino; this list favours the versions most UK players will actually encounter.

Ranked 6 July 2026, cross-checked against Reel Time Gaming’s own current games listing and expanded 10 July 2026 with 15 self-branded titles (rows 31–45) that were missing from the previous version of this table — the studio’s own /games/ page lists 33 titles in total once Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus are counted alongside the self-branded catalogue, against a wider claimed catalogue of 100+ once every land-based build, online conversion and distributor-specific variant is counted. Years marked “—” are genuinely unconfirmed in public sources; availability and exact RTP vary considerably by casino and distributor build — always check the in-game paytable. Max win figures marked * are widely-quoted Blueprint-edition figures rather than Reel Time’s own published numbers; most Reel Time titles don’t publish a max win at all, hence the remaining “—” marks.

Reel Time Gaming casinos: UKGC-licensed sites carrying its games

Reel Time Gaming FAQs

Who owns Reel Time Gaming?

Reel Time Gaming Enterprises PTY Limited, a privately-held, independent Australian company founded in Brisbane in 2009 — it is not owned by Blueprint Gaming, Merkur or the Gauselmann Group, despite supplying content to all three.

Is Reel Time Gaming the same company as Real Time Gaming (RTG)?

No — these are two completely different, unrelated companies that just happen to have very similar names. Reel Time Gaming Enterprises PTY Limited is UKGC-licensed (account 40859), based in Queensland, Australia, and best known for Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus. Real Time Gaming (commonly abbreviated RTG) is a separate US/Curacao-focused developer with no UK licence and no connection to Reel Time Gaming whatsoever. If you’ve read about “RTG” slots on a US-facing casino site, that’s almost certainly the other company, not this one.

Is Reel Time Gaming fair, or are its games rigged?

Reel Time Gaming Enterprises PTY Limited holds two active UKGC licences (account 40859) with a clean record and certified RNG.

What is the best Reel Time Gaming slot?

Fishin’ Frenzy is the studio’s single biggest export, with Eye of Horus close behind as its second breakout franchise. Our full ranked ten, with reasoning, is above.

Did Reel Time Gaming really make Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus?

Yes — both started life as Reel Time Gaming’s own land-based cabinet titles before Blueprint Gaming (and, for Eye of Horus, Merkur too) converted and distributed them online. Several later Blueprint editions, including Fishin’ Frenzy Reel Time Fortune Play and Fortune Spins, still carry the Reel Time name directly in the title.

Does Reel Time Gaming have its own signature mechanic?

Its clearest recurring idea is a “nothing resets” free-games format — a symbol that stays locked on the board and keeps building through the whole bonus round, used across Fishin’ Frenzy, Eye of Horus, El Torero, 15 Samurai and Kong’s Temple. On the land-based side, its Game Ring cabinet concept bundles up to ten different games behind one console.

Who distributes Reel Time Gaming slots?

Primarily Blueprint Gaming and Merkur Gaming, plus White Hat Studios for the US market since 2021. Reel Time itself remains an independent supplier rather than part of any of these groups.

Where can I play Reel Time Gaming slots in the UK?

Because Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus are distributed mainly through Blueprint Gaming and Merkur, they turn up at a wide range of UKGC-licensed casinos — Grosvenor Casino, PartyCasino, MrQ, Gala Bingo and LeoVegas among them. See the UKGC-licensed casinos section above for the full breakdown, and always verify any operator on the Gambling Commission register before depositing.

What are the newest Reel Time Gaming slots?

7s Deluxe, Crown Gems, Thai Flower and Hot Frootastic are among the studio’s most recently confirmed additions to Blueprint’s RGS platform.
