Stakes multiplied by this interval measure gross wagering, not the net cost of obtaining a bonus. Purchase returns above include the complete purchased round and are divided by the ticket price.

How it plays
18 rules screens from the game
Twenty fixed lines cross the five-reel, four-row grid of Secrets of Papyrus, each paying from the leftmost reel rightwards, and a line keeps only its highest win. At a FUN 2.00 bet five Blue Seals pay FUN 500.00, which is 250x the stake; the Sealed Scroll, Hourglass, Inkwell and Quill, and Pyramid Map follow, with card ranks A to 10 at the bottom of the table. Mascot rates the game high volatility and caps a round at 2000x.
The Mystery symbol, a bald priest holding a crescent staff, appears only on the middle three reels and substitutes for every regular symbol. A trio of them anywhere there opens 10 free spins, though the spin that brings them pays its own line wins first.
Inside the bonus each newly landed Mystery is chained to its cell until the last spin, while the three that opened the round do not stay. Covering all 12 middle cells with sticky Mysteries adds 3 free spins. Line wins use the regular paytable, with no multiplier.
Three extras sit under Risk'n'Buy: Boost puts a fixed surcharge on each bet to raise the trigger chance, a purchase of the 10 free spins costs 100 times the bet (FUN 200 at the test stake), and the Risk Wheel gambles a win for as much as x1000 of the total bet. Mascot declares 95.89% for plain play and 95.40% with Risk'n'Buy, and bets range from FUN 0.20 to FUN 40.00. The test bought the regular free spins only and never switched on Boost or turned the wheel.

Verdict
More chained Mysteries, bigger bonuses
Earned free spins finished with four sticky Mysteries at the median and bought ones with seven, out of the 12 cells on the middle three reels. Ticket 14 came closest to a full block, with reels 3 and 4 covered and 10 Mysteries in all, and paid FUN 326.60.
Five Blue Seals on one line, 250x the stake, turned up four times in the 10,000 ordinary rounds and three times in the 50 purchases. Those four lines alone made FUN 2,000, 10.69% of the FUN 18,712.50 the ordinary series paid, and they sit inside four of the five largest rounds.
Purchased at FUN 200 each, the 50 tickets brought back 91.31% of their cost; the median ticket paid FUN 128.85, 0.644x the price, and ticket 41 led with FUN 781.80.
At seven sticky Mysteries, the most any earned bonus reached, four rounds came to 208.99x the stake on average, while the eight that ended with one or two made 10.34x. Purchases split the same way, 121.34x across the 27 tickets with seven or more and 14.01x for the five that stopped at three or four.
- Four of the five largest rounds held a five-Blue-Seal line worth 250x the stake
- 73 earned bonuses in 10,000 rounds, one per 137.0 ordinary spins
- 6 of 50 purchases paid at least double the FUN 200 price, the best 3.909x
- Two earned bonuses finished their 10 free spins with a single sticky Mystery
- Round 1812 paid FUN 500.30 on its trigger spin and then FUN 5.00 from ten free spins
- Outside the bonus, no round paid more than 50.6x the stake

FAQ
7 questions · answered from the log
Do the Mystery symbols that trigger Secrets of Papyrus free spins stay sticky?
No. Only Mysteries that land during the 10 free spins get chained; the three that open the round leave the reels before the first free spin.
Did any Secrets of Papyrus bonus earn the 3 extra free spins?
No. They need all 12 middle cells covered by sticky Mysteries; earned bonuses peaked at 7 and bought ones at 10, so all 123 bonuses, 73 earned and 50 bought, played exactly 10 spins.
What do 100x free spins purchases in Secrets of Papyrus pay back?
Fifty purchases at FUN 200 returned FUN 9,131.40 of the FUN 10,000 spent, and 35 of them paid less than the price. A bought round averaged 91.31x the FUN 2.00 stake and an earned round, trigger spin included, 51.65x; bought rounds also ended on seven sticky Mysteries at the median against four.
Which RTP came out of 10,000 Secrets of Papyrus demo rounds?
Ordinary play returned 93.56% against the declared 95.89%. The total moves in big steps: 73 free spins rounds made 40.30% of what the ordinary series paid and four 250x lines alone 10.69%, so a handful of rounds sets it.
What turnover does a Secrets of Papyrus free spins trigger take without the buy?
FUN 273.97 wagered per trigger at a FUN 2.00 stake: earned triggers averaged one per 137.0 ordinary rounds, 73 across the 10,000. Line wins hand part of that back, so the net cost is lower.
Which line pays the most in Secrets of Papyrus?
Five Blue Seals pay 250x the stake, FUN 500.00 at a FUN 2.00 bet. That line came up seven times in this run, four in the ordinary rounds and three in the purchases; round 4553, the best of the series at 327.95x, got it on free spin 7.
Can Mystery symbols win on the spin that triggers the bonus?
Yes, a trigger spin pays like any other, with the three Mysteries substituting in its lines. Trigger spins paid in 60 of the 73 earned bonuses, FUN 1,146.00 in all, and round 1812's trigger spin made FUN 500.30 through a five-Blue-Seal line with two Mysteries in it.
