Best Novomatic Slots: Top Online Games & Demos

How Novomatic Took Its Games Online

Johann Graf founded Novomatic in Austria in 1980, and the company spent its first decades making machines for arcades and casino floors. The online side came later. Greentube, a Vienna studio that started in 1998 with a 3D ski racing game, joined the group in 2010. Since then, it has ported Novomatic's best-known cabinets to online slots, largely carrying over the maths.

Most titles carry a "Deluxe" tag, which usually means an extra payline or two on the original. If you've played the older version, the Deluxe one will feel familiar.

The 5 Best Novomatic Slots to Try

Game Title	RTP	Volatility	Max Win
Book of Ra Deluxe	95.10%	High	10,035x stake
Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe	95.13%	High	4,633x stake
Sizzling Hot Deluxe	95.66%	Medium	1,000x stake
Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe	95.13%	High	4,638x stake
Ultra Hot Deluxe	95.17%	Low-Medium	750x stake

RTP is the default rate. Operators can run lower-RTP versions of the same game, so check the in-game info panel for the figure live at your casino.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe and Ultra Hot Deluxe are the only two here that don't sit at high volatility. The other three can go a long time without paying anything meaningful.

Book of Ra Deluxe

Say Novomatic to most players and Book of Ra Deluxe is the first title they name. The game runs on five reels and ten paylines, with the Book symbol acting as wild and scatter. Land three or more for 10 free spins, where one regular symbol is picked at random at the start and expands on every spin.

Its 10,035x top win is the biggest of the five. Play'n GO's Book of Dead is one of many slots that borrowed the format since. The free spins can take a long time to arrive. If high volatility is new to you, our bankroll management guides explain how to set a budget.

Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe

Five reels, 10 paylines and a 4,633x top win. Three or more scatters give you 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier on every win, and the Lady Wild adds its own 2x whenever it's part of a winning combination.

There's no bonus game or jackpot, so the upside is in the free spins. Streamer Kanten92 landed 1,807x there on a €0.70 stake during a live session, about €1,265.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe

No bonus round, no wild, nothing to learn. Fruit symbols pay on the lines, a star scatter pays anywhere, and the top win is 1,000x. For many players, this is where Novomatic starts, and it's the closest thing here to an arcade throwback.

At 95.66%, it has the best default RTP of the five. Some operators run it as low as 90.02%, so the info panel matters more on this one than on most.

Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe

Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe is a close sibling of Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe, with a near-identical 4,638x top win and the same free spins-with-multiplier setup. The theme is the main difference. Try it if you liked the lady's free spins and fancy a change of scenery.

Ultra Hot Deluxe

Ultra Hot Deluxe is a plain 3x3 grid with five paylines and the lowest top win of the five at 750x. Low-medium volatility makes it the steadiest pick for a short session.

What Every Novomatic Slot Has in Common

The gamble feature appears in nearly every title. After a win, you can guess the colour of the next card, red or black, to double it. A wrong guess loses the win, so treat it as a separate bet. The sound design comes straight from the land-based cabinets.

Next to Megaways slots or bonus buy slots, this all looks deliberately old-fashioned. Novomatic seems happy to leave it alone, and that's the appeal for many players.

Playing Novomatic Slots Safely

Many licensed casinos carry Novomatic games alongside other casino games, with payout times that vary a lot between them. Check the licence (UKGC or MGA) before you register. Our casino reviews list withdrawal times for each site.

Welcome offers don't always count every slot towards wagering. The best casino bonuses page tracks which current ones include Novomatic titles. For faster withdrawals, start with the payment methods guide.

A long dry run on Book of Ra Deluxe can drain a budget before the free spins arrive. Set a deposit limit or session reminder before you start; most licensed casinos keep them in account settings, alongside self-exclusion.
