Ricochet — Slots, Games and Provider Overview

Ricochet should be distinguished from the many unrelated products with the same name, including computer games, anti-cheat software, board games and individual casino titles from other developers. In the iGaming context, this page covers BD Ricochet / Ricochet Studio, whose official domain is ricochet-studio.com. The studio says it was established in 2022 by industry specialists to build slot titles with a focus on mathematics, design and entertainment.

Light & Wonder also describes Ricochet as a partner studio founded in 2022. This is an important part of the provider identity: current games are distributed through the Light & Wonder ecosystem, while WebDeal Gaming describes Ricochet as its wholly owned studio focused on dedicated games for major operators. Ricochet nevertheless remains a separate game brand rather than a rebrand of Light & Wonder.

An older version of Ricochet’s own site mentioned partnerships with Greentube and PokerStars. The more recent WebDeal profile refers to work with Flutter group and Hard Rock Bet, together with a Light & Wonder distribution partnership. This reflects the studio’s B2B model: it develops content and supplies it through platforms and operator integrations, rather than operating an online casino for players.

Registration, deposits, withdrawals, KYC, bonuses and customer support therefore belong to the casino you choose. Even when a Ricochet game is delivered through Light & Wonder, the operator’s licence and terms need to be checked separately.

Ricochet’s public library is still much smaller than the catalogues of major studios. At the source check, SlotsLaunch listed seven titles: Super Soccer Drop, Stairway To Cash, Rock Paper Scissors, Plinko, Cup Up, Drop and Saddle Up. WebDeal separately highlights Ruby Queen of Free Spins, Big Blue Bounty and Rock Paper Scissors as examples of BD Ricochet Games. These do not necessarily represent one identical commercial pool, as some content may be bespoke or exclusive to selected operators.

The most distinctive current direction is Bitz. Light & Wonder Spark describes it as a next-generation crash-game range with bold visuals and extensive customisation, allowing operators to adapt characters, symbols and themes to their brands. Plinko was introduced as a Bitz release, while a separate US version called Multidrop was planned.

• Video slots. Stairway To Cash is a full 5-reel slot with fixed paylines, wild features, cash collect and free spins.
• Plinko / drop games. Plinko and Super Soccer Drop send balls through multiplier fields with additional events.
• Crash / risk games. Cup Up lets players choose a risk level, move up the grid and cash out before hitting an eliminator.
• Instant-win. Rock Paper Scissors is classified as an instant-win format in aggregator catalogues.

This mix matters for search accuracy. “Ricochet slots” is still a relevant query, but part of the studio’s current library sits outside the classic reel-slot format.

Plinko is Ricochet’s best-documented fast-format release. Light & Wonder lists a 96% RTP, a maximum prize of 200x, a minimum bet of 0.1 and a maximum bet of 20. Its main difference from a basic Plinko model is the extra field features. Explosion can add up to nine new balls, Prize Diamond can award an instant prize of up to 100x, and Pushes alter the ball’s direction.

Players can choose a volatility profile. According to the Light & Wonder description, adding more special features makes the field more active but also reduces some lower multiplier values. This is not a winning strategy: the choice changes the mathematical profile of the round, while the outcome remains determined by the game model.

Cup Up uses a different risk structure. It is played on a 6×6 grid, where the player moves upwards by choosing a route between eliminators. Higher risk levels offer larger multipliers, and the result can be collected before the route ends. Playzido lists three RTP configurations — 92%, 94% and 96% — and classifies Cup Up as a Crash Game.

Super Soccer Drop brings the drop mechanic into a football theme. Current specialist catalogues date the release to 9 June 2026 and describe it as a Plinko-style multiplier game. A precise RTP is not used here as a primary fact because a complete open Light & Wonder maths card was not found at the source check.

Stairway To Cash shows that Ricochet is not limited to fast drop/crash formats. Light & Wonder gives an official release date of 30 April 2026. The game uses five reels and 20 paylines, with Stairway Expanding Wilds, Demon Cash Collector and Cupid’s Fortune Spins among its main features. Bonus Buy is available only in jurisdictions where that feature is permitted.

Stairway To Cash is published in several mathematical configurations: 96%, 94%, 92% and 90% RTP. Maximum exposure is listed as 16,500x. This is a useful example of why a single figure from a review should not automatically be treated as “the game’s RTP”: a casino may use a certified configuration different from the highest available setting.

An older Ricochet site presented Ruby Queen as an early brand slot, while WebDeal still highlights Ruby Queen of Free Spins and Big Blue Bounty among portfolio examples. The current public sources used for this page do not provide enough detailed maths for those games, so figures such as RTP, volatility and max win are not added.

Overall, Ricochet’s slot output combines classic reel games with bespoke content for major operators. Stairway To Cash is the best documented modern video-slot example in the current public Light & Wonder infrastructure.

There is no single confirmed RTP for the Ricochet catalogue. Even among well-documented titles, the maths differs: Plinko is published at 96%, Cup Up has 92/94/96% versions, and Stairway To Cash has 90/92/94/96% configurations. A useful comparison therefore starts with the title and the exact game version.

For Plinko, Light & Wonder allows volatility to be adjusted within the mechanic. Cup Up is built around choosing a safer or riskier route. Stairway To Cash varies at the level of published RTP configurations. These are three different ways to shape a mathematical profile, so averaging them into a provider-wide figure would not be useful.

Third-party databases publish parameters for other Ricochet games, including Rock Paper Scissors and Super Soccer Drop, but without a sufficiently strong primary technical card those figures are not brought into the main comparison. Before real-money play, check the paytable or help screen for the exact version offered by the operator.

Ricochet sits within a broader B2B chain. WebDeal Gaming describes itself as an iGaming holding company and explicitly calls Ricochet a wholly owned studio. Light & Wonder, meanwhile, lists Ricochet among its OpenGaming partner studios and distributes its games through its own infrastructure. The game brand, studio owner and distributor are therefore not the same legal concept.

An official Cyprus government publication records BD RICOCHET HOLDINGS CYPRUS LTD, number HE436416, in July 2022. The name and registration timing align closely with the BD Ricochet brand, but the Ricochet website does not publish a legal footer that directly links the game software to this entity. The register entry is therefore treated as supporting context rather than an unconditional legal identification of the provider.

A separate Ricochet B2B gambling licence with a public licence number was not established in the open primary sources used for the approved baseline. The games are distributed through regulated Light & Wonder infrastructure and released into markets through separate approval processes, but Light & Wonder licences cannot automatically be attributed to Ricochet or to any casino offering the games.

Availability and regulatory status vary by jurisdiction. A distribution partnership does not by itself establish that every Ricochet title is approved in every English-speaking or international market.

Some Ricochet games are available in demo mode through the Light & Wonder Spark / Playzido ecosystem and independent demo catalogues. Plinko and Cup Up have public pages describing their mechanics, while Playzido lists HTML5, device compatibility and support for major currencies. This confirms a browser-based format suitable for desktop and mobile play without a separate app.

An official or partner demo button does not mean identical availability across all operators. The catalogue depends on jurisdiction, platform, commercial agreements and the exact game version. For example, Stairway To Cash offers Bonus Buy only where the feature is permitted, while some Ricochet projects are developed specifically for Tier 1 operators.

Language support can also vary by title and platform. Playzido describes Cup Up as supporting “All Major Languages”, but that is a platform-level statement rather than a complete language list for every Ricochet release. Check the demo or operator lobby for the language options available in the version you intend to play.

Ricochet continued to develop two distinct directions in 2026. Stairway To Cash carries an official Light & Wonder release date of 30 April 2026 and represents the conventional video-slot side of the catalogue. Super Soccer Drop appeared in summer 2026 and extended the studio’s drop/Plinko line with a football theme.

The Bitz series also remains an important product direction. Light & Wonder Spark had previously announced a US version of Plinko called Multidrop for early 2026. At the latest check, WebDeal still described Ricochet as a bespoke-content studio for Tier 1 operators, helping explain why the public catalogue can be smaller than the team’s total number of projects.

For an up-to-date view of Ricochet, current Light & Wonder game pages are the most useful entry point. Plinko, Cup Up, Stairway To Cash and Super Soccer Drop are presently the clearest public examples; older or exclusive names should not be treated as a complete public catalogue without distribution evidence.
