Across the whole run the 106 natural bonuses split into 41 under 20x, 44 between 20x and 50x, 16 between 50x and 100x and 5 at 100x or more, and together they made up 38% of everything the game returned.

Retriggers in Golden Glyph are the Free Spins Bonus Power-Up firing again inside the bonus, worth 3 spins each. The count here covers those awards only, 66 of them in 54 of the 106 features, on top of the 9 opening spins.

How it plays
16 rules screens from the game
Golden Glyph pays for groups of at least five identical symbols that sit side by side or stacked on its 7x7 grid, with no lines at all. Every winning cluster is removed, the gaps fill from above, and new clusters keep tumbling until the grid goes quiet. Demo stakes span EUR 0.20 to EUR 60, with EUR 1.00 preset, and there is no feature purchase.
Before each tumble a Power Wild may land in one of the empty cells, at most one per tumble. It acts as a Wild, and when a winning cluster consumes it, the next Power-Up on the golden wheel is charged. Five Power-Ups are set on the wheel at the start of every spin: four drawn from Golden Scarab, Eye of Horus and Blaze of Fire, and the Free Spins Bonus always last.
Charged Power-Ups fire in order once a screen shows no win. Golden Scarab scatters 4 to 10 Wilds across the grid, Eye of Horus wipes every copy of one low-paying symbol, and Blaze of Fire burns the ordinary symbols in a whole row and column, each removed symbol worth 1/20 of the bet; the fifth charge opens the Free Spins Bonus.
The bonus starts with 9 free spins and adds 3 each time the Free Spins Power-Up fires again inside it. A Golden Glyph Wild lands on the first free spin, hops to a new cell every spin without tumbling, and carries a multiplier that climbs during the bonus, up to x99. Quickspin's sheet splits the 96.19% RTP into 30.45 points of base game, 27.64 of base-game features and 38.10 of free spins, rates volatility 3 of 5 and lists 13,185x the bet as the top payout in a billion simulated spins.

Verdict
Power Wilds mostly go unusedThe grid dropped 6,329 Power Wilds over 10,000 ordinary spins and winning clusters consumed 2,311 of them, 36.5%; the other 4,018 tumbled away uncharged. The 1,215 rounds in which at least one Power-Up then fired, 12.15% of the series, returned EUR 3,874.95 of the EUR 5,852.55 won outside free spins, 66.2%, at 3.19x the stake per round against 0.23x for the rest. Golden Scarab fired 647 times and placed 3,011 Wilds, while Eye of Horus and Blaze of Fire fired 765 and 793 times and their symbol payouts came to EUR 802.40, 13.7% of base-game money.
One hundred and six free spins features arrived, once per 94.3 spins, and 54 of them retriggered at least once, 66 extra awards of three spins in all. Those 54 paid 74.9% of the feature money and averaged 48.96x the stake against 17.08x for the 52 that stopped at nine spins. The Golden Glyph Wild reached x10 or more in 56 features and never passed x25, far from its x99 cap; round 2477, the series' top round at 159.1x, ran 18 spins with the multiplier climbing to x25 and EUR 50.00 won on its ninth spin.
The final tally was 93.84% of EUR 10,000 in stakes against a declared 96.19%: everything outside the bonus returned 58.53% of stake, within half a point of the sheet's 58.09 for base game and base features together, while free spins gave back 35.32% against 38.10. A third of spins paid, 34.85%, with a median winning spin of exactly the stake, and the longest run without a win was 23 spins.
- Rounds that fired at least one Power-Up averaged 3.19x the stake, and they were 12.15% of all spins.
- Features that retriggered, 54 of 106, averaged 48.96x the stake, and no feature paid nothing.
- Free spins features arrived once per 94.3 spins, 10.6 bHz, and started at 9 spins.
- Outside the bonus the demo returned 58.53% of stake, within half a point of the game sheet's 58.09.
- 4,018 of the 6,329 Power Wilds landed in a cluster that never won and charged nothing.
- The Golden Glyph Wild topped out at x25 across 106 features, a quarter of its x99 cap.
- Features that stopped at nine spins averaged 17.08x, a third of what the retriggered ones paid.
- Twelve tumbles at round 5872 produced the largest ordinary spin, 77.55x.

FAQ
5 questions · answered from the logIs 93.84% a bad result for Golden Glyph's 96.19% RTP?
Not a conclusive one. Ten thousand EUR 1.00 spins came back at 93.84%, 2.35 points short of the declared figure, and an approximate 95% CI from 83.17% up to 104.52% leaves room for it. The gap sits in the bonus: free spins returned 35.32% of stake against 38.10 on the game sheet, while the base game and its Power-Ups together gave 58.53% against 58.09.
Power Wilds: what do they change in Golden Glyph?
It lands in an empty cell before a tumble, counts as a Wild, and charges the next Power-Up on the wheel only if a winning cluster swallows it. In this series 6,329 Power Wilds appeared and 2,311 were consumed, so 36.5% of them did anything beyond substituting; the rest never joined a win.
Is the Golden Glyph free spins trigger rare, and do the spins retrigger?
A feature came every 94.3 spins here, 106 in 10,000, 10.6 bHz. Each starts at 9 spins and gains 3 when the Free Spins Power-Up fires inside the bonus: 54 of the 106 features retriggered, 66 awards in all, and one feature ran to 18 spins.
Did the Golden Glyph Wild ever get near x99?
To x25 at most, in the series' best round, 2477, which paid 159.1x the stake over 18 spins. The multiplier reached x10 or more in 56 of the 106 features, and the 52 features whose peak sat between x10 and x19 collected 67.0% of all free spins money; without round 2477 the other 9,999 spins returned 92.26% of stake.
Are the Power-Up payouts worth anything on their own?
Eye of Horus fired 765 times and Blaze of Fire 793 times in the base game, paying 1/20 of the bet per removed symbol: EUR 298.25 and EUR 504.15, 13.7% of base-game money together. Golden Scarab fired 647 times and dropped 3,011 Wilds, whose clusters are counted with the ordinary wins.
