natural trigger · 63 in 10,000 spinsSeparate media session at the client default EUR 0.80 bet: natural free spins on media spin 466, 10 spins and EUR 19.16. Recorded in a separate browser session, outside the statistical samples.
Across the whole run the 63 natural bonuses split into 18 under 20x, 28 between 20x and 50x, 13 between 50x and 100x and 4 at 100x or more, and together they made up 28% of everything the game returned. The wait between two triggers ran from 2 to 1,325 spins. Payout figures here are FS-only, in ordinary stakes; the trigger payout is excluded.
Dragon Shrine awards 10 free spins, and only three Bonus Scatters landing again inside the feature can extend it. That never happened in this series, so the share shown is zero: all 63 natural features ran exactly 10 spins.

How it plays
11 rules screens from the game
Dragon Shrine plays on five reels of four rows with 40 fixed lines that pay left to right in the base game and both ways during free spins. The Wild replaces everything except the Bonus Scatter and pays EUR 8.00 for five at the EUR 0.80 demo bet, the Dragon EUR 2.40, and the pink gem, best of the gems, EUR 1.00.
A full stack of Dragons on the first reel starts the Dragon Stack Respin. Every Dragon and Wild on screen locks, three respins follow, each new Dragon or Wild locks as well, and the line wins are counted once, at the end of the feature.
Three Bonus Scatters, which appear on reels two to four, award 10 free spins, and three more during the feature retrigger it. Inside the feature a full stack of Dragons on reel 1 or reel 5 starts the same respin, and a second full stack is mirrored onto the opposite reel.
The official game sheet lists 96.55% RTP, made of 39.87 points from the base game, 30.34 from the respin feature and 26.34 from free spins, volatility 2.95 on a 1-to-5 scale, and a top payout of 871x in a billion spins. The demo takes bets from EUR 0.20 to EUR 80, defaults to EUR 0.80, and has no bonus purchase.

Verdict
Line wins fell short, features did notAt the demo's default EUR 0.80 the 10,000 spins returned 93.34% of EUR 8,000 staked, under the declared 96.55%; its approximate 95% CI covers 83.27% to 103.40%. Spins paid 21.65% of the time, one in 4.62, the longest drought lasted 31 spins, and without its best round, a 150.65x free spins feature at round 36, the series came to 91.84%.
The respin carries the upside of the base game. It fired on 193 spins, 1.93%, paid 47.5% of base-game money and averaged 16.62x; the 20 respins that finished with 17 to 20 Dragons locked averaged 36.84x, against 4.38x for the 17 that ended with 8 or fewer. Free spins came 63 times, once per 158.7 spins, never ran past 10 spins, and paid 41.07x on average with a 30.4x median.
Held against the sheet's three-way split, the parts behaved differently. Rounds with the respin returned 32.08% of the stake against 30.34 on paper and free spins 25.87% against 26.34, while the rest of the base game gave 35.39% against 39.87: the shortfall came from ordinary line wins, and the respin ran slightly ahead.
- The Dragon Stack Respin paid 47.5% of base-game money from 1.93% of spins.
- Respins that finished with 17 to 20 Dragons locked averaged 36.84x the stake.
- Every 158.7 spins on average brought free spins worth 41.07x.
- Wins of 60x or more came once per 526 spins, more often than the sheet's 1 in 641.
- Ordinary line wins returned 35.39% of the stake against 39.87 on the game sheet.
- Overall the series paid 93.34%, under the declared 96.55%.
- Rounds 7611 to 8936 went 1,324 spins without free spins.
- The largest base-game hit was 83.5x, far from the sheet's 871x ceiling.
