What Rival makes
Rival’s calling card is the i-Slot, a kind of slot it introduced in the mid-2000s that wraps a story around the reels. Instead of spinning the same screen over and over, you move through episodes of a plot, with mini-games and bonus rounds that advance as you play. Its long-running soap-opera series As the Reels Turn und die Reel Crime games are the ones people remember it for. Around those sits an ordinary catalogue of video and classic slots, video poker and a handful of software table games, a couple of hundred titles in all, and it is still adding to it: new slots were shipping through 2025 and into 2026, so this is a working studio, not a dormant back catalogue.
Rival and blackjack
Rival makes software blackjack, dealt by a random number generator, with no live dealer version. There are a couple of variants, a standard game and a multi-deck one, and they play by fairly ordinary rules, with the dealer hitting a soft 17. The catch, and it is the same one our older write-up flagged years ago, is that Rival does not tell you how many decks a table uses or publish a return figure, which makes the house edge harder to pin down than it should be. If you want to play a hand correctly without that information, set the rules you can actually see in our Blackjack-Strategie-Maschine and it will give you back the right move.
