The Value Bonus Meal has no retrigger in the usual sense: a Scatter that lands during it upgrades the feature to Deluxe and adds three spins, and an Infectious Wild adds as many spins as its multiplier. One of 38 natural meals was upgraded, round 708, running ten spins, and one of 50 purchases grew past seven, ticket 31 with 13.

How it plays
18 rules screens from the game
Karen Maneater starts each spin with six reels of 2, 3, 3, 3, 3 and 3 rows, 486 ways, and the reels can grow to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Matching symbols pay from the left on adjacent reels, a way pays its highest win only, and this test bet EUR 1.00 a spin. For six of a kind the five survivors pay 3.00 down to 1.20, the rifle and the battery 1.00, and the syringe, beer mug and toilet roll 0.80.
xWays symbols land on the middle four reels and turn into an ordinary paying symbol two to four positions tall, which adds ways. An Infectious xWays can land only on the first reel; it reveals a symbol two to seven tall and stretches all matching symbols in view, xWays included, to the same range. The Raccoon Scatter also lands on the middle four reels and gives each reel to its right one extra position; one or two Scatters become xWays, three or four start a Bonus Meal.
An Infectious Wild on the last reel slides down to the bottom, gaining one multiplier step per row, and its final multiplier is added to every symbol on that reel. Three Scatters give the Value Bonus Meal, seven spins with three sticky xWays, and four give the Deluxe Bonus Meal, ten spins with four. The sticky xWays reveal symbols two tall at first and one taller after every winning spin, up to 42; a Scatter inside the Value meal upgrades it to Deluxe with three extra spins, and an Infectious Wild adds its multiplier to both the spin count and the reveal size.
Buying in costs 100x the stake for the Value meal, 500x for the Deluxe meal and 542x for a random one; the xBet raises the stake by 30% for a guaranteed Scatter on the second reel. The base game carries a listed 96.00%, the Value purchase 96.40%, and the 11,757x cap was simulated once in 330,300 rounds.

Verdict
The cheapest symbol paid mostRound 6623 never left the base game. An Infectious xWays on the first reel revealed the toilet roll, the lowest of the five low symbols, and every toilet roll on the screen grew: two on reel one, six and three positions tall, then blocks of two, five, four, four and four across the other reels. That made 5,760 ways at 0.80 each, EUR 4,608.00 on a EUR 1.00 spin, 44.8% of everything the 10,000 rounds paid, while the next best round, 708, reached 543.8x.
The reel-one symbol was rarely that generous. It turned up in 92 rounds without free spins, and apart from round 6623 those rounds paid EUR 137.50 between them, 81 of them nothing at all. Ordinary xWays did the steady work: 5,846 rounds with one paid EUR 3,062.60, 29.8% of the money, while 4,024 rounds without any xWays shared EUR 166.10.
Thirty-eight Bonus Meals opened naturally, once per 263.16 rounds, and they lived on reveal size. The 13 whose sticky xWays never grew past three averaged 8.1x, the 18 that reached four or five averaged 73.84x and the 7 that reached six or seven averaged 124.43x. Round 708 was the only one upgraded to Deluxe; its eighth free spin paid EUR 500.00 with batteries at size four.
Buying the Value meal at EUR 100 almost exactly broke even over fifty tickets, 101.90% back, yet a typical ticket brought EUR 62.95. The total rested on a few rounds like ticket 31: an Infectious Wild on its sixth spin added six spins and lifted the reveal size from five to twelve, and the eighth spin paid EUR 811.20 with rifles.

- 81 of the 92 Infectious xWays rounds outside free spins paid nothing
- The median Value Bonus Meal ticket returned EUR 62.95 of its EUR 100 price
- The Deluxe upgrade happened in one natural Bonus Meal of 38
- 4,024 rounds without an xWays symbol paid EUR 166.10 in total

FAQ
6 questions · answered from the logCan a toilet roll really pay 4,608x in Karen Maneater?
Yes, through an Infectious xWays on the first reel. In round 6623 it revealed the toilet roll and stretched every toilet roll on screen, giving 5,760 ways at 0.80 each, EUR 4,608.00 on a EUR 1.00 spin with no free spins involved.
What separates xWays from Infectious xWays?
Reach. An ordinary xWays on the middle reels grows only itself, two to four positions; the Infectious one on reel one makes every copy of its symbol two to seven tall. Ordinary xWays rounds paid 29.8% of the money in this test, Infectious ones 46.2%, almost all of it from one spin.
How rare was the Bonus Meal in this test?
The meals came 38 times in 10,000 rounds, about once per 263.16, but the longest gap ran 874 rounds before round 5730. Only one of the 38, round 708, was upgraded from the seven-spin Value meal to Deluxe.
Judging by fifty tickets, is the 100x Value Bonus Meal worth buying?
Yes, barely: fifty tickets returned EUR 5,094.80 on EUR 5,000, or 101.90%. The median ticket paid EUR 62.95 and 34 of the 50 fell short, so the total leaned on a few rounds such as ticket 31 at EUR 820.70.
Did one spin carry the 102.8% RTP of the Karen Maneater demo?
Yes, almost entirely: round 6623 paid 4,608x, and the other 9,999 rounds came to 56.72% on their own, well under the 96.00% listed. With one spin weighing that much, the approximate 95% range around the result spans 11.04% to 194.56%.
Why do bigger xWays reveals lift the Bonus Meal so much?
Each winning spin makes the revealed symbols one position taller, so the ways multiply as the meal goes on. Natural meals that stayed at size three or less averaged 8.1x, those that reached six or seven averaged 124.43x.
