6 Wild Sharks

7 Gold Gigablox

1 Left Alive
A 2019 zombie-themed release using the studio’s PLUS+WAYS mechanic, stacked wilds, transforming wilds and a free-spins feature.
5 Doggy Millionaires Dream Drop
An October 2024 sequel to 5 Doggy Dollars, moving the same cast of pedigree dogs into a palace setting and swapping the old prize ladder for a shared Dream Drop jackpot network with five progressive tiers.
Catalogue size and distribution
The studio’s Games Live and Coming Soon page rendered 57 portfolio records during the check. That total includes more than one product type and unreleased records, so it is not a count of slots currently available in Britain.
Distribution partners can vary by territory and release. A platform carries the title; it does not replace 4ThePlayer as the documented studio. Operator availability and configuration need checks against the version actually offered.
How to verify a 4ThePlayer title
Use the studio catalogue
Match the exact title, release status and named distribution partner to the first-party game page or announcement.
Separate creator and platform
Record 4ThePlayer as studio where supported, then add the relevant partner as distributor rather than merging both roles.
Read the current help file
Use the playable build for RTP, volatility, stakes, maximum win, ways and complete feature rules.
Confirm UK access
The active supplier licence does not mean every studio title or configuration is available at every British casino.
