Introduction

NYX Gaming isn’t just a studio – it’s the backbone of an era.
Before everyone was buzzing about Megaways and Bonus Buys, NYX powered some of the most-played games online and helped bring land-based classics to your screen.

While the name NYX is now mostly hidden behind its parent company Light & Wonder, its influence lives on. And some of its games? Still absolute bangers.

Company Background

NYX Gaming Group was founded in 2006 in Sweden, before setting up shop in Vegas.
Their rise came through smart acquisitions and integrations: they brought in legendary studios like NextGen, ELK, and BetDigital, giving them one of the broadest content libraries in iGaming.

In 2018, they were acquired by Scientific Games – which has since rebranded into Light & Wonder. So while “NYX” may not headline anymore, its legacy still pumps through hundreds of casino sites.

What Makes NYX Stand Out?

Classic 5×3 Energy
Games like Jackpot Jester and Foxin’ Wins deliver that vintage, land-based feel.
Big Jackpot Hits
They’ve run progressive networks that made real millionaires.
Partner Power
NYX aggregated games from NextGen, Iron Dog, Lightning Box, and others.
Tried & True Math Models
Not the flashiest – but damn reliable. Great for wagering, grinding and bonus hunting.
Legacy Performance
Many of their top games are still live and still solid more than 10 years later.

Popular NYX / NextGen Slots

Foxin’ Wins (2013) –
Cheeky fox + wild re-spins = UK favorite and long-time bestseller.
Jackpot Jester 50,000 (2015) –
Old-school slot fans love this one. Supermeter mode and massive potential.
Medusa Megaways (2020) –
NextGen + BTG Megaways collab = mythology, snakes, and stacked wilds.
Doubleplay Superbet (2016) –
SuperBet mechanic lets you pump your bet to boost wild multipliers.
300 Shields (2014) –
A cult classic. In Free Spins mode, it’s blood, swords, and up to 300x wilds.

RTP, Volatility & Max Wins

RTP: Generally between 93%–96.5%
Volatility: Varies – from low-grinders to true high-risk (300 Shields Extreme)
Max Wins: Around 1,000x–10,000x, depending on the game and mechanic

NYX slots don’t always promise earth-shattering wins – but they’re solid, fast, and fair.

Mobile Experience

Most of the classic NYX/NextGen titles have been ported to HTML5, making them playable on all devices.
Interface is usually simple – no frills, just straight spins. But that’s the charm.

Not always the most responsive visuals – but low data use and great performance on slower devices.
