Three new Wizards titles are live in the first-party demo lobby this week, and they cover three different parts of the action. A jewelled 5x3 slot whose masks copy themselves across the reels, a multiplayer crash round with a rising curve, and an eight-row plinko board whose row count and risk setting the player chooses before every drop now sit side by side in the same lobby, at 94%, 97% and 95% RTP.
That spread is the story. One release is a payline slot played at a measured pace, one is a short multiplayer round that ends in seconds, and one is a physics toy with adjustable difficulty. Each asks the player a different question, and each asks the platform underneath something different as well.
Three launches, one lobby
Sport Rush Plinko went live on 29 September 2026, and Jokers Royal Riches and Sport Crash both followed on 30 September 2026. All three are first-party Wizards games, all three are playable in the demo lobby, and every figure in this article was captured from those live demo builds on 5 October 2026.
The table below carries only 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.
| Game | Category | RTP | Volatility | Lobby release date | Lobby hit ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jokers Royal Riches | Slot | 94% | Medium | 30 September 2026 | 21.98% |
| Sport Crash | Crash Game | 97% | Low | 30 September 2026 | 40% |
| Sport Rush Plinko | Lottery | 95% | Low | 29 September 2026 | 100% |
Jokers Royal Riches: masks that copy and a chest that respins
Jokers Royal Riches is the most familiar shape of the three and the most detailed. It is a 5 by 3 reel slot with 25 paylines, and the board sits inside an ornamented royal frame with four jackpot tiers named across the top: Grand, Major, Minor and Mini.
The game’s own on-screen guide explains the loop in three panels. The first is the plain one: match three or more symbols from left to right on 25 lines, with Gems and Jester masks at the top of the symbol set. The second is the reason to look twice: when reel one stacks with Joker Masks, the Joker copies them across the other reels, which turns a single good reel into a board-wide event. The third is the bonus: six or more Treasure Chests open the Joker’s Money Respin, where the same guide advertises four jackpots. That last figure is the game’s own published claim on its help screen, and it is the one worth reading on the version you open rather than taking from a summary.
At 94% RTP and medium volatility, this is the release in the set built for a session with a rhythm rather than a single spike. The demo offers stakes from $0.50 to $1 and a direct bonus buy, so the feature can be inspected without waiting for it.
Sport Crash: bets close, the curve rises, the round ends
Sport Crash is the shortest format of the three. It is a multiplayer crash game, so the round is shared: a bet stage opens with a countdown, bets close, a multiplier curve climbs from the first moment of the round, and the round ends at an unpredictable point. The player’s decision is the same one crash games have always asked, and it is made quickly: stop and bank the current multiplier, or hold and risk the end of the round.
What is worth noting for a platform team is how much of the screen is history. The demo keeps a persistent strip of recent round results across the top and a running table of active and settled bets beside the board, and the shell footer states that the game is a provably fair build. For a format where the round is over in seconds and the same players return immediately, that visible record of previous rounds is a large part of the product.
The demo labels the difficulty as low, and at 97% RTP it is the highest-paying title of the three.
Sport Rush Plinko: choose the board, then follow the ball
Sport Rush Plinko is the most configurable of the three, and the configuration is the point. Before every drop the player sets four things: the risk level, the number of rows of pegs, how many balls to drop at once, and the cost per ball. In the demo build captured here the board runs at eight rows with the risk at medium, which produces nine pockets across the bottom, from 0.4x in the centre out to 13x at each edge.
That is a different contract from a payline slot. The player can see the whole probability surface before committing: fewer rows make the ball’s path more predictable and flatten the payout range, more rows stretch the edges and the multiplier attached to them. The screen keeps the previous drop’s result visible, so the board stays legible from one drop to the next.
At 95% RTP and low volatility it sits between the other two releases, and it is the one whose hit ratio is highest: in a plinko build, almost every drop lands somewhere.
What three formats ask of the platform underneath
Three launches in one week is a compact reminder of what a game platform absorbs. These three titles disagree about almost everything that matters to an integration layer. One settles on paylines and holds a board state across a spin; one runs a shared round with a bet window, a live multiplier and a settle-or-bust decision inside it; one takes player-chosen configuration into the round itself and then lasts a few seconds.
The practical questions are the familiar ones. Does the round service treat an eight-row plinko drop, a multiplayer crash round and a 25-line 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 three? And when the lobby is mixing formats like these, 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 game format in it that your platform was not built around, talk to the Wizards game development team, or read how we approach crash game development, lottery and instant games and casino game development first.
Every title in the set is playable right now with demo credits: play Jokers Royal Riches, play Sport Crash or play Sport Rush Plinko. The same demos also open from every card in the game catalogue.
Frequently asked questions
Which games joined the Wizards lobby this week?
Jokers Royal Riches (slot), Sport Crash (crash game) and Sport Rush Plinko (lottery) are all live in the Wizards demo lobby as of 5 October 2026.
What is the RTP of each new game?
The live lobby publishes 94% for Jokers Royal Riches, 97% for Sport Crash and 95% for Sport Rush Plinko 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 these three games share the same volatility?
No. Jokers Royal Riches is medium volatility, while Sport Crash and Sport Rush Plinko are both low. The set covers a paced payline game and two quicker formats rather than one audience.
Can I try the new games before integrating them?
Yes. Each catalogue card opens the first-party demo build in the browser, and the three gameplay figures in this article were captured from those demo builds on 5 October 2026.
