Five new Wizards titles are live in the first-party demo lobby this week, and four of them share one format while doing very different things with it. Three are match-three scratch cards at 85% RTP and high volatility, one is a cascading sushi-belt board at 84.9995%, and one is a 25-payline buffalo slot at 94% RTP with medium volatility.
The range is the story. A scratch card settles a whole board from a single stake, a cascade game keeps resolving after the first win, and a payline slot asks the player to read a grid. Three different contracts, three different sets of questions for the platform underneath them.
Five launches, one lobby
Crown Jewel Match, Fortune of the Oasis and Sultan’s Riches all went live on 8 October 2026, Kaiten Feast followed on 6 October 2026 and Buffalo Wild Bounty on 5 October 2026. All five are first-party Wizards games, all five are playable in the demo lobby, and every figure in this article was captured from those live demo builds on 12 October 2026.
The table below carries the values the live lobby publishes for the current demo build. Operator configuration can differ, and the authoritative figures are always the ones on the version you are playing.

| Fortune of the Oasis | Lottery | 85% | High | 8 October 2026 | 40% |

Crown Jewel Match: choose a stake, then scratch the board
Crown Jewel Match is an instant scratch card dressed as a royal court. The lobby describes it as a game where you choose your bet, scratch to reveal hidden prizes and match three identical prize amounts to win, and the build opens with a splash screen that labels itself a match-3 scratch card before the board appears.
The loop is short and entirely player-driven. The stake screen offers four levels, 0.60, 0.75, 0.80 and 1, above a board header that carries the ceiling for the stake in play. Committing to a stake moves the player to the board itself: six covered cells, a scratch prompt, and a single control that clears the grey area from every cell at once. In the run captured here the stake came off the demo balance and the board revealed a mix of small and large values, which is the shape a match-three card is meant to have. Three identical amounts is the win condition, and it is the game’s own screen that says so.
At 85% RTP and high volatility this is the most top-heavy of the three scratch cards, and its published hit ratio is the highest in the set at 40%.
Fortune of the Oasis: six treasure cards under the desert sun
Fortune of the Oasis takes the same match-three idea into a golden desert. The lobby describes six treasure cards and a match of three identical prize amounts, and the build’s own screen opens with a line of flavour under the prize header before the stake ladder appears.
What the player sees is a two-step decision. First the stake: four levels, 0.80, 1, 1.25 and 2. Then the offer, which states the reveal ceiling for the stake and takes the player onto the cards. The six cards are scratched individually or all at once, and the board keeps a match-three prompt under the cards so the win condition stays visible while the board is being cleared. In the captured run the reveal produced a spread of values from single figures up to the board’s ceiling, which is what makes the match-three decision worth watching to the end.
It carries the same 85% RTP, high volatility and 40% published hit ratio as the other two scratch titles, and it is the one in the trio whose build titles itself differently on screen from the lobby card.
Sultan’s Riches: the vault, the stake ladder and one more step
Sultan’s Riches is the third match-three card in the week, and it is the one that leans hardest into the idea of a single big prize. The lobby describes six gold cards and a match of three identical prize amounts, and the build frames the whole round as a vault that is unlocking.
The shape is familiar, the ladder is not. The stake screen starts a step higher than the other two cards, at 1, 1.25, 2 and 2.50, and the offer line states the reveal ceiling before the cards are dealt. From there the six gold cards behave like the rest of the trio: scratch individually or all at once, keep three matching amounts in view, and accept the result. In the captured run the round ended without a match, and the build said so plainly and offered another round, which is the honest half of an instant game and worth showing.
Its published values match the other two scratch titles: 85% RTP, high volatility, 40% hit ratio.
Kaiten Feast: thirty plates on the belt and a chef’s bonus
Kaiten Feast is the odd one out in the set, and the most interesting one to read. It is a lottery title in the catalogue, but its build is a cascade board built around a sushi belt: thirty plates move past, the player matches eight or more dishes anywhere on the board rather than on fixed lines, and matched dishes clear to make room for fresh ones.
Two mechanics sit on top of that loop. Wasabi adds a multiplier to a winning set of dishes, and chef tickets fill as the board resolves; four of them open the Omakase bonus, which the game’s own help screen describes as fifteen free draws with collecting wasabi multipliers. The bet ladder runs from 0.75 to 2, there is a bonus buy at 100, and the build keeps a running dish tally beside the belt so the player can see which sets are one plate short.
At 84.9995% RTP and high volatility its published hit ratio is 28.5707%, lower than the scratch trio, which fits a board where a single drop can keep resolving after the first match. It is the release in this set that most rewards a second look, because the win condition is positional rather than linear.
Buffalo Wild Bounty: 25 paylines, copy reels and a money respin
Buffalo Wild Bounty is the only slot in the week and the only title here that asks the player to read a grid. It is a five by three reel set with 25 paylines, and its help screen sets out three things in order: match symbols from left to right, watch reel one for a full stack of buffalo because three of them copy that stack across the other reels, and collect six coins to enter the Money Respin bonus, where the same screen advertises four jackpots and notes that a double coin counts as two.
The bet ladder runs from 0.75 to 2 with spin and auto controls, a bonus buy at 100, and a grand jackpot figure shown above the reels. In the run captured here a single spin settled and the demo balance moved by exactly the stake, which is the least dramatic possible result and the one worth stating plainly: a spin is a spin.
At 94% RTP and medium volatility it is the most forgiving title of the five on paper, and its published hit ratio of 21.98% is the lowest in the set, which is what a 25-payline slot looks like next to an instant card.
What a five-game week asks of the platform
Five launches in one week is a compact reminder that a game platform absorbs formats, not titles. These five disagree about almost everything that matters to an integration layer. Two of them settle a whole board from one commitment and then show a result. One keeps resolving after the first match and carries a positional win condition instead of paylines. One holds a five by three grid state across a spin, copies a stack between reels and opens a respin inside the same round.
The practical questions are the ones every launch week asks. Does the round service treat an instant card, a cascading board and a payline spin as the same kind of object, or does each one need its own path? Does the wallet see one settled round per commitment, whatever the mechanic? Does the back office carry the same session and reporting semantics across all five? And when the lobby is mixing an instant card with a cascade game and a slot, does the player still see one balance, one history and one place to look?
That is the work behind a launch week, and it is where our teams spend most of their time. If your roadmap has a format in it that your platform was not built around, talk to the Wizards game development team, or read how we approach lottery and instant games and casino game development first.
Every title in the set is playable right now with demo credits: play Crown Jewel Match, play Fortune of the Oasis, play Sultan’s Riches, play Kaiten Feast or play Buffalo Wild Bounty. The same demos also open from every card in the game catalogue.
Frequently asked questions
Which games joined the Wizards lobby this week?
Crown Jewel Match, Fortune of the Oasis and Sultan’s Riches (all lottery scratch cards), Kaiten Feast (a cascading sushi-belt lottery game) and Buffalo Wild Bounty (a 25-payline slot) are live in the Wizards demo lobby as of 12 October 2026.
What is the RTP of each new game?
The live lobby publishes 85% for each of the three scratch cards, 84.9995% for Kaiten Feast and 94% for Buffalo Wild Bounty for the current demo build. RTP is a configuration value, so the figure on the version you are playing is the one that applies.
Do the three scratch cards play the same way?
They share a format and a win condition, which is three identical prize amounts on six cards, but they do not share a stake ladder or a presentation. Crown Jewel Match offers four stake levels from 0.60, Fortune of the Oasis from 0.80 and Sultan’s Riches from 1, and each frames the round differently.
How is Kaiten Feast different from the other lottery titles?
Kaiten Feast resolves a cascading board rather than a set of fixed cards. Dishes match anywhere on the belt, matched sets clear and are replaced, wasabi multiplies a winning set, and four chef tickets open the Omakase bonus that the game’s own help screen describes as fifteen free draws.
Can I try the new games before integrating them?
Yes. Each catalogue card opens the first-party demo build in the browser, and the five gameplay figures in this article were captured from those demo builds on 12 October 2026.
