The dashed line is the official RTP. The more spins, the closer it should get — and the narrower the shaded range.

Nearly made it
The reels stopped one symbol short of free spins 8,853 times. They actually landed 615 times. A near miss is 14.4 times more common than the real thing — and it looks almost identical on screen. That gap is the part of the design that makes one more spin feel worth it.
What a free-spin round actually paid
Across the 615 rounds we recorded, a round paid back 93.6× the stake on average. The biggest single result we have seen on this game is ×1,324.
How lopsided the payouts are
The standard deviation of a single spin is 12.6× the stake. The higher that is, the more of the return arrives in a few rare spins instead of many small ones — which is why the measured return above takes so long to settle.
The official numbers — and whether they hold up
Read from the game's own settingsOfficial RTP is 96.51%. Over 112,260 spins we measured 97.6%, which puts the true figure somewhere between 90.3% and 105.0%. The official number sits inside that range, so it checks out.
Why the range is so wide: almost all of a slot's payback sits in a handful of rare big wins, so the measured return stays noisy for a very long time. Getting this range down to ±1 point on a high-volatility game takes millions of spins. That's why we lead with hit rate and free-spin frequency instead — those settle within weeks.

Looking for the free demo?
Every slot here has an official free demo run by Pragmatic Play itself — that is exactly where our numbers come from. We don't link out to anyone, so here's how to find it yourself: search the game's name together with "Pragmatic Play" and open the result on the provider's own website, where each game has a Demo button. No account, no deposit.
Why bother finding the official one: a casino can license a lower-RTP version of the same game. The demo on the provider's own site is the default configuration — the one our numbers describe.
FAQ
- Is this data real?
- Yes. Every number on OddsLab comes from spins we actually ran on the provider's own official free demo, recorded by a program that logs every spin and reconciles the balance after each one. If the balance doesn't match the win minus the bet, the line stops and we don't keep the data.
- Does a long losing streak mean a win is coming?
- No. Each spin is independent. Our hot-slot experiment groups real spins by drought length: the chance of free spins is the same after 10 empty spins as after 500.
- Is the demo the same as real-money play?
- The game maths in the demo is the provider's default configuration. Casinos can license lower-RTP versions of the same game, so real-money results can be worse than what we measure — never better.
- Can I use this to beat the slot?
- No. These numbers describe a game's character — how often it pays, how many "wins" are really losses, how rare the big wins are. None of it predicts the next spin, and over time every slot pays back less than you put in.
- Why don't you just publish the measured RTP?
- Because at our sample sizes it isn't a usable number yet. On a high-volatility slot the measured return can be fifteen points off in either direction after 40,000 spins. We show it with its margin of error and lead with the figures that are already accurate.
