Iron Dog Studio was born from a rebranding of 1×2 Gaming into 1×2 Network. This happened in 2017, with the parent company transforming into a platform provider. The studio became the dedicated team producing games for this platform, though they can be accessed via various other partners too.
The company might have started as a fresh and small studio but soon started pushing out slots at a regular pace. Today their collection includes over one hundred casino games, with usually one fresh release every month. Rather than just being a small studio tied to a platform, the company has established itself firmly among the top gaming studios.

Short History
As mentioned, the company or studio was established as a division of an existing company. The 1x2Gaming rebranding itself was a considerable step for the main company, which itself was established back in 2002. The company originally produced slots, table games, virtual sports, and a variety of other casino games for international audiences.
Iron Dog Studio took up the part of slot production, and has done an excellent job in this area. However, this status also means that there isn’t much news or history to share. That part falls to 1×2 Network. Although, there is the chance that the team will grow bigger than the boots they currently have, in which case we’ll be more than happy to report on their future accomplishments.
For now, the best way to get to know the company is to take a look at their casino games.
Online Slots
Playable on all devices from mobile, to tablet and desktop, these games dazzle players on all platforms. Something that is immediately obvious is that the graphical excellence is a good match for any other slot out there. When it comes to themes the setup is somewhat generic, using the usual suspects from classic fruits to mythology and history.
Whilst everything from graphics, sound effects, and the interface is definitely in line with our expectations, these things don’t matter much if the gameplay features don’t challenge games from other producers on an equal level.
Popular Iron Dog Studio online slots:
- Sweet Candy Cash
- Viking Wilds
- Stampeding Strike
- Wolf Strike
- Vegas Hot Spots
- Forge of the Gods
- Rainbow Wilds
- Sirens Kingdom
- Aztec Wilds
- Crown of Avalon
- Robin’ Robin
- Boom Time
You can probably spot some similarities here. For example Aztec, Viking, and Rainbow Wilds. As you can probably deduce, these games allow the wilds to affect the gameplay in different ways. Sticky, expanding, cascading, multiplying, and so forth.
The newer the games, the fresher the features are going to be. However, and almost without exception, you are likely to run into bonus spins as the main special. These Come in different numbers and varieties. Together with the large number of slots, pretty much every angle is covered.
Across the vast majority of titles wins are actually somewhat conservative. Not to say they can’t run into thousands, and tens of thousands, but medium variance seems to be the most popular set up. But like with all other producers, that’s something that has been consistently trending upwards. RTP, or payout percentages, have settled into the range we would expect, which is above 96%.
Now, if you’re looking for something a bit more special…
Megaways Slots
Normally, Megaways games would fall under online slots, but here they make up such a big portion of the selection that they deserve their own portion on our review. This is definitely the showcase work of the company, and if you’re looking for something extra special from Iron Dog Studio, this is where you will find it. It also happens to be one of the largest selections of Megaways games from any single provider.
Check out these titles:
- Megaways Jack and The Magic beans
- Fruity Megaways
- Megaways Jack
- 1 Million Megaways BC
- Pirate Kingdom Megaways
- Rock the Reels Megaways
- Christmas Megaways
In addition to the above, the company has also released a variety of branded games. These the company builds for either individual casinos, like Rant or Playzee, or other companies such as SkillOnNet. This game type is licensed from Big Time Gaming, and it uses a multitude of reels and symbol positions to create hundreds of thousands of ways to arrange symbols into winning combinations.
The winning potential in these games is far above your standard slot. That also means very high variance. Obviously, you are not going to score the max wins of 45 000 times your bet on every single spin. That requires a lot of luck, and often the help of various different special features to line the reels, symbols, and lines perfectly.
Other Casino Games
It’s not really much of a surprise that a producer of this size has blackjack, roulette, and baccarat in their selection. Especially as they are a brand that is run under one of the biggest platform providers in the casino industry. And likewise, not much of a surprise that these games offer nothing that all the other hundreds of similar versions of these classic table games from other producers do.
But if you are interested in other casino games, take a look at the scratch cards. Around a dozen different options exist, and we suspect this is a selection that will continue to grow in the future. These are quite simple games, with the only difference being in the graphics used, the variance, and the possible wins. Some pay out hundreds, others thousands, and some go as high as hundreds of thousands.
The Legal Side of Things
Iron Dog Studio itself is licensed in Great Britain. GLI and Quinel have certified their games, so from that perspective there is nothing to worry about. You can be sure that the gaming experience is fair and authentic. The parent company 1×2 Network has a further licence in Malta, as well as one in Ontario. Further partners operate with other licences, which is why you will find these games in most online casinos that operate in Canada, or accept Canadian players. They are even partnered with Loto-Quebec.
