Coven Rising
Slots · Released September 17, 2026
The 1-4-7-6-7-6-7-4-1 layout is unlike anything else published here: nine columns that widen and narrow across the board, which is why the game pays by clusters instead of lines. Pragmatic publishes a 35.34% hit frequency with it, about one paying spin in three, and a medium rating. The 96.42% return is under the studio's 96.5% median, with 37 of its other 39 pages here returning more.

How Coven Rising pays
The game runs on 9 reels of uneven height (1, 4, 7, 6, 7, 6, 7, 4, 1 rows).
Coven Rising is rated medium volatility. Against the 40 Pragmatic Play titles here, its 96.42% return runs 0.08 points below their 96.5% median, and the 5,000x ceiling sits under their 11,250x median.
The ceiling is 5,000x the stake, so a $1 spin caps at $5,000.
It is the 101st of 101 2026 releases from Pragmatic Play that we track, following Helios - Triple Sun.
Pragmatic Play has no public page for Coven Rising; what it does list is in its own catalogue at pragmaticplay.com.
What Coven Rising actually does
Coven Rising pays by cluster pays, the format on 30 of the 221 games in this catalogue.
Free Spins is the round the rest feeds, with respins changing how it behaves once it starts. The 5,000x ceiling is reachable there and effectively nowhere else.
Buy Bonus and Ante Bet shorten the wait at a higher stake. That widens the swing on a medium-volatility game without moving the 96.42% return, and several regulated markets switch the option off entirely.
Level Up is the unusual one on this card: 7 of the 221 games here carry it.
| Mechanic | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cluster Pays | Groups pay, not lines |
| Respins | Selected reels spin again |
| Level Up | Progression unlocks more |
| Instant Prize | Cash values printed on symbols |
| Cash Collect | A collector gathers cash values |
| Free Spins | Spins awarded without a stake |
| Buy Bonus | Pay to enter the bonus round |
| Ante Bet | Higher stake, better bonus odds |
Cluster Pays
Wins form when enough matching symbols touch each other horizontally or vertically, with no paylines involved. The minimum cluster is typically five symbols, and clusters usually clear to allow further wins from the same spin.
Level Up
Meeting conditions advances the game through levels, each unlocking better modifiers, higher multipliers or additional positions. Progress usually carries within a bonus round rather than across sessions.
Setting and presentation
Witches. Covens, cauldrons and spellwork, sitting between the magic and horror tags.
Magic. Spells, potions and conjuring, where random modifiers are usually presented as magical intervention.
Dark. A low key palette and sombre tone rather than a specific setting, often paired with horror or fantasy.

Coven Rising questions
How does the Coven Rising grid work?
It runs nine columns of uneven height, from one position at each edge to seven in the middle, a shape no other game in this catalogue uses. Lines cannot be drawn across it sensibly, so wins are paid by clusters of touching symbols instead, the method 30 games here use.
Is Coven Rising volatile?
Pragmatic rates it medium and publishes a 35.34% hit frequency, roughly one paying spin in three, which is high for this catalogue: only 11 of the 68 games that publish the figure land more often. The 5,000x ceiling is the other side of it, well under the studio's 12,500x median.
What is the RTP of Coven Rising?
96.42%, published by Pragmatic Play. That is 0.08 points below the 96.5% median of the other 39 Pragmatic Play games with a page here. Against the 220 published returns across the whole catalogue it is 0.22 points above the 96.2% median.
Can I play Coven Rising for free?
Yes. The build above is the one Pragmatic Play ships, at the same 96.42% return and the same 5,000x ceiling; only the credits are virtual, and there is no deposit or signup. It runs the same 9 reels of uneven height (1, 4, 7, 6, 7, 6, 7, 4, 1 rows) as the paid build.
What is the maximum win on Coven Rising?
The ceiling is 5,000x the stake, so a $1 spin caps at $5,000. The other 39 Pragmatic Play games published here sit at a 12,500x median. Across the 219 published ceilings the median is 10,000x, and 152 of them reach further than this one, while 30 stop at the same figure.
