Pragmatic Play has started its August release schedule with Jade Legends, a dragon-inspired slot that was released on 3 August 2026. It does away with some of the studio’s more typical Egyptian and Greek themes for ancient Chinese mythology, and the game is played on a 7×7 grid that uses cluster pays rather than traditional paylines. Jade Legends carries an RTP of 96.50%, a high volatility profile, and a max win of 20,000x
The game’s core mechanics are built around building multipliers. Winning symbols mark positions on the grid, and those positions gain a multiplier each time they hit again. Golden dragon symbols can trigger coin collections with coin values worth up to 500x before the relevant position multiplier is applied. There’s also a free spins feature which includes sticky multipliers, so there’s definitely some similarities to Sugar Rush and Sugar Rush 1000 here
Jade Legends is only the start of what Pragmatic Play has planned for this month. Their release schedule shows Super Serge was released on the 6th of August, 777 Wheel Blitz on the 10th of August, Harvest Moon: Grave Profits on the 13th of August, and a reworked Gates of Olympus POP on the 31st.
Pragmatic Play remains one of the most widely stocked studios on the sites Kiwis already use ahead of the domestic licensed market’s arrival.
