What we like / What could be better
What we like
- Fixed 30-payline structure keeps the odds easy to read, no ways-to-win complexity to work through
- Six mechanics (free games, Hold and Win, Pick Me, wilds, fixed jackpots, Gamble) keep the base game and bonus round clearly separated
- Gamble/Card Risk feature is optional rather than forced after every win
- Medium volatility suits longer sessions better than a high-variance Hold and Win title with the same cap
What could be better
- Bet range isn't published anywhere we found, including the Endorphina source we cite
- Endorphina's material doesn't state how many respins start the Hold and Win round, so you can't model the feature before playing it
- 1200x max win is modest next to Hold and Win slots that cap at 5000x or higher
- Boxing-cockroach theme is a narrow visual niche that won't suit every player
What Cockroach Fortune is
Endorphina released Cockroach Fortune in January 2026. You're playing a 5x3 grid with 30 fixed paylines, a layout that keeps the maths straightforward rather than spreading returns across thousands of ways-to-win.
The theme puts boxing cockroaches on the reels: insects in gloves and ring gear instead of the usual fruit, gems or Egyptian iconography. It's a narrow visual niche, so it won't suit every taste, but the artwork doesn't change how the reels behave underneath.
What does change how you play is the build: free games, a Hold and Win respin round, a Pick Me bonus, wild substitution, fixed jackpots and a Gamble/Card Risk feature that lets you double a win or lose it outright.
RTP and volatility: what 96.07% and medium actually mean
The published return to player for Cockroach Fortune is 96.07%. That sits in the middle band for slots released around the same period: a few tenths under the highest-RTP releases on the market, a few tenths above the lowest.
Volatility is listed as medium. In practice that means the base game pays often enough to keep a session moving, while the bulk of any meaningful win sits inside the bonus round rather than in the base spins. A medium-volatility slot capped at 1200x won't behave like a low-volatility game that trickles small wins on nearly every spin, and it won't behave like a high-volatility title that can run fifty spins dry before paying anything at all.
RTP is a theoretical figure calculated over millions of spins. It tells you nothing about what a single session will do, only where the game sits against the rest of the market on average.
The six mechanics on the reels
Cockroach Fortune stacks six separate features rather than relying on one. Here's what each one does:
| Mechanic | What it does |
|---|---|
| Free games | Standard free-spin round, triggered by scatter symbols |
| Hold and Win | Coin symbols lock in place and trigger a respin round |
| Pick Me bonus | A pick-and-reveal screen awarding instant prizes or multipliers |
| Wild substitution | Wild symbols stand in for regular paying symbols |
| Fixed jackpots | Set jackpot values collected during the Hold and Win round |
| Gamble/Card Risk | Optional double-or-nothing card gamble after a win |
Six mechanics on one 5x3 grid is a busy build. Each one is simple on its own; the combination is what makes the game read as more complex than a single-feature slot with the same RTP.
How the Hold and Win respins actually work
Endorphina's own release material confirms the Hold and Win round as one of the six mechanics, but it doesn't state how many respins start the round or how many extra respins you get for landing a new coin. We haven't found that number published anywhere else either, so treat any specific "starts with X spins" claim you read on comparison sites as unverified until Endorphina or a licensed operator publishes it.
What we can describe is the mechanic's general shape, based on how this feature type usually runs: coin symbols land during the base game and trigger a locked-reel screen. Every respin that adds a new coin resets the counter back to its starting number. The round ends the moment a respin passes with no new coin landing on the grid. The payout is the sum of every coin value collected, scaled to your stake.
When the bonus round stops paying
A Hold and Win round earns its keep when the value collected on the grid, multiplied out at your stake, beats what those spins would have returned at the base game's average rate. Because Cockroach Fortune caps at 1200x and sits at medium rather than high volatility, the ceiling on any single respin round is lower than on a high-volatility Hold and Win title built around a 5000x or 10000x cap.
That has a practical consequence. On games with this profile, most respin rounds close out well under the maximum, and the largest values in the coin pool are rare. A round that closes after collecting only one or two low-value coins has usually paid less than the spins spent triggering it. There's no way to know this before the round starts, and no staking pattern changes it: fixed jackpot values scale with stake size, but the odds of landing them don't.
Max win: what 1200x means in practice
The maximum win on Cockroach Fortune is 1200x your triggering stake. On a 30-payline, medium-volatility slot that's a moderate ceiling: several Hold and Win titles released around the same period cap at 5000x or higher.
Work out your own number by multiplying your stake by 1200. We don't have a confirmed bet range for this title yet (see below), so we can't give you a cash figure until an operator publishes one, but the multiplier itself already tells you where this game sits against bigger-cap rivals.
Bet range: what we found and what we didn't
We looked for a published minimum and maximum stake for Cockroach Fortune in Endorphina's release material and couldn't find one. That's not unusual for a slot this recent; providers sometimes leave stake configuration to each operator rather than fixing it at studio level.
What this means for you:
- The stake range shown at any UK operator carrying this title is set by that operator, not by Endorphina
- Minimum and maximum bets can differ between sites even for the same game
- Check the in-game paytable at whichever operator you play through before your first spin
We'll update this section with a confirmed range once we find one in primary material.
Demo mode vs real-money play
Cockroach Fortune is built on standard HTML5 architecture, and titles like this are typically available in free-play demo mode at operators that license the studio's catalogue. A demo run won't tell you anything about a specific casino's payout speed or verification process, but it will show you the paytable, the Hold and Win screen and how the Gamble/Card Risk feature behaves before you commit stake.
We haven't tested demo availability across every UK operator carrying this title as a separate check; the where-to-play list below reflects which operators we've confirmed stock the game, not which ones offer it in demo form specifically.
Where to play Cockroach Fortune in the UK
The list above shows currently tracked UK-facing operators carrying Cockroach Fortune. UK Gambling Commission licensing applies to UK-facing casino operators generally; where a specific operator's status is confirmed, it's shown against that listing rather than assumed from the operator's own marketing. We haven't measured payout speed for any of these operators for this category of game, so treat withdrawal-time claims made elsewhere with the same caution we'd apply to our own unverified numbers.
How Cockroach Fortune compares to other Endorphina slots
Endorphina runs a wide catalogue of Hold and Win and multi-bonus titles, and Cockroach Fortune's 96.07% RTP and 1200x cap put it in the mid tier rather than at either extreme. If the boxing-insect theme isn't for you, the mechanics here are close enough to several other Endorphina releases that switching titles won't change how the respin round or the Pick Me bonus behaves.

If gambling stops being enjoyable, BeGambleAware (begambleaware.org) offers free, confidential support, and GAMSTOP lets you self-exclude from UK-licensed gambling sites in one registration.

There's no stake threshold that unlocks the bonus round
Cockroach Fortune doesn't gate its features behind stake size. The free games, Hold and Win round and Pick Me bonus trigger on the same odds regardless of whether you're betting at the low end or the high end of whatever range your operator sets. A bigger stake scales the payout if a fixed jackpot lands; it doesn't improve the chance of that jackpot landing.
With medium volatility and a 1200x cap, the sensible approach is to size your stake around how many spins you want to see rather than around chasing the bonus round directly. A session built to survive 200 to 300 spins at a given stake will see more of the game's mechanics play out than one that burns through a bankroll in fifty spins hoping for an early Hold and Win trigger. Since we don't have a confirmed minimum bet for this title, check the in-game paytable at your operator first and work out your spin count from there rather than from an assumed figure.
The Gamble/Card Risk feature sits outside this. Doubling a win on a card draw doesn't change the underlying RTP of the slot itself; it's a separate even-money bet layered on top of whatever the reels already paid. Treat it as optional rather than as part of a staking plan.
Check the paytable at your chosen UK operator for the confirmed bet range, then run a few spins in demo mode to see the Hold and Win screen and Gamble/Card Risk feature before you play for real money.
