What Push Gaming does well
Push builds cluster-pay and grid games with one strong idea each: the walking multiplier jar, the nudging mystery stacks under the reef. The catalogue is small because the studio does not ship a game until the idea holds up.
The sequels have been unusually strong. Razor Returns and Jammin' Jars 2 both improved the original maths instead of just raising the max win.

RTP, volatility and what to check before you spin
- Push's headline RTPs are among the better ones in the mid-market, with Razor Shark at 96.7% still above the category norm.
- Cluster and nudge mechanics create longer feature sequences, so a bonus round can swing several thousand x in a single spin chain.
- The Fat series is explicitly bonus-buy designed; the base games are thin by comparison.
- Push distributes through Relax Gaming's Silver Bullet programme as well as direct, so availability is wide.
Seventy games in fifteen years. Push would rather ship nothing than ship filler, and the catalogue shows it.
How to do this
How to check the real RTP of a Push Gaming slot
- Open the game and tap the menu or 'i' icon to reach the paytable info panel.
- Scroll to the game rules footer — the live RTP for that casino's configuration is printed there, not on the lobby tile.
- Compare it with the studio default in the table above. If it is more than half a point lower, play the same Push Gaming title somewhere else.
- Note the volatility rating and set a loss limit before your first spin.
Who Push Gaming suits
Players who want high variance with a feature that actually builds over several spins, rather than resolving in one. A good middle step between Play'n GO and Nolimit City.
Our take
If Push released at Pragmatic's pace it would be the best studio in the market. At its actual pace it is simply the most consistent.
Verdict
Push Gaming punches far above its size. Razor Shark and Jammin' Jars are two of the very few post-2018 slots that became permanent lobby fixtures, and the sequels did not dilute them. Small catalogue is the only real limitation.
