Elk Studios

-
Just for the Win

-
Thunderkick
An independent studio with distinctive themes and a deliberately low release cadence, which echoes PearFiction's measured pace.
Editorial Overview
PearFiction Studios is the boutique that keeps its head down. An independent Montreal outfit founded in 2014 by CEO Thierry Semoff, it started in mobile games before moving into iGaming around 2016. Since its Microgaming deal turned exclusive in 2019, its titles reach UK players through the Games Global network rather than a platform of its own. Output is deliberate, built around proprietary mechanics like LockNWin and theme-led series such as Squealin' Riches and Treasures of Kilauea. This is a quality-over-quantity studio that picks a feature and finishes it.
The catalogue rewards that patience. The signature LockNWin respin frame and the per-game modifiers, like Kilauea's wild-building Volcano feature, tend to feel designed rather than bolted on, and the art holds together. The risk with a low-cadence studio is that a thin release still arrives with high expectations attached. So we treat a PearFiction title the same way we treat any other on the radar. We score it against the rubric, and the studio name on the badge earns no head start.
PearFiction earns attention by finishing what it starts, and we hold every release to the same rubric.
Signature titles: Squealin' Riches (and Squealin' Riches 2) · Treasures of Kilauea (and Treasures of Kilauea 2) · 3 Lucky Hippos (and 3 Lucky Hippos 2) · Treasures of Mjolnir
PearFiction FAQ
- What are the newest PearFiction slots?
- New PearFiction releases land on this page as soon as they go live, newest first. We add each one to the radar and review it against the same rubric, so you can see what just arrived and whether it holds up.
- Can I play PearFiction slots for free?
- Yes. Every PearFiction slot we review comes with a free demo you can play in the browser, no signup and no deposit. We test that demo hands-on before we score it.
- What are the best PearFiction slots right now?
- We highlight the PearFiction slots we rate highest above, ranked by our review score. The standout few earn our Best New Slot mark. We score every release on the same Skip, Maybe or Yes scale, so the studio name never buys a better grade.
- Can I play PearFiction slots at UK casinos?
- Yes, though indirectly. PearFiction does not run its own UK platform. Its titles reach British operators through the Games Global and Microgaming distribution network, so availability depends on which UKGC-licensed casinos carry that content. The exact footprint varies from site to site.
- What is PearFiction Studios known for?
- It is a boutique Montreal studio that favours quality over quantity. It is best known for proprietary mechanics like LockNWin and EpicStrike, and for theme-led series such as Squealin' Riches, Treasures of Kilauea and 3 Lucky Hippos.
- Who owns PearFiction Studios?
- PearFiction is an independent studio founded in Montreal in 2014 by CEO Thierry Semoff. It began in mobile games and moved into iGaming around 2016. As of mid-2026 there is no public acquisition on record, so it appears to remain independent, with games distributed through Games Global.
- What is the typical RTP for a PearFiction slot?
- PearFiction titles generally sit in the mid-90s RTP range, and the same title can be configured differently across sites. Always check the figure shown in the slot's info panel at the casino you are playing, since the exact setup can vary from one site to the next.
- What is the LockNWin feature?
- LockNWin is PearFiction's proprietary take on the Hold and Win respin format. Symbols lock in place and trigger respins, often with Multiply, Supreme and Jackpot tiers plus coin-collection upgrades layered on top. It appears across several of the studio's releases.
- How does PearFiction compare to Elk Studios?
- Both are boutique studios that release deliberately and lean on their own signature mechanics rather than chasing volume. PearFiction distributes through the Games Global network, while Elk Studios self-aggregates, but editorially we treat the two as peers in the same premium mid-size bracket.
