Jaguar Gate is lengthened only by Scatters on a free spin, each award adding 25 spins to the opening 25, and the count covers bonuses that received one. It came to 3 and 2 natural bonuses in the two runs, 5 of 104, and to one purchase per run, 2 of 100; none was extended twice, so the longest feature in the series lasted 50 spins.

One ticket equals 60 ordinary stakes. Natural bonuses occurred once per 192 ordinary rounds in this sample. 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.

| 50 bets | bust at spin 98 |
| 100 bets | bust at spin 211 |

The runs are played back to back as one series, one bet size. A different session can bust earlier or never; treat this as a measured example, not a rule.
How it plays
4 rules screens from the game
Wins on this 5x3 grid are counted along 15 fixed lines that start on reel 1, each line settling for the single best combination it holds. Tessa Hunt herself heads the table at 100x the total bet for five, ahead of the Spear Warrior at 66.67x and the Jaguar Warrior at 50x, while five of a card suit bring between 1.67x and 3.33x. The clawed scroll is the Wild: it completes any line symbol, never replaces a Scatter and has no pay of its own.
Jaguar medallion Scatters pay in any position, 10x the bet for three, 25x for four and 50x for five, and a trio of them is enough to open the feature. A choice screen follows with three variants: Jaguar Gate gives 25 spins at x2, Throne Hall 10 at x5 and Warrior Tomb 5 at x10. The chosen multiplier applies to every win of the round, as the banner above the reels repeats. More Scatters during the spins add 5, 10 or 25 spins depending on the variant, and Jaguar Gate is the one that adds 25.
Each variant costs the same 60x in the purchase menu, FUN 90 at the FUN 1.50 stake used here, and a special-offer card beside them changes its variant and price after every spin. On this build the bet ranges from FUN 0.15 to FUN 45, with 95.15% as the theoretical return and x3000 as the top prize on the opening card.
Whenever a spin wins, the game offers to stake it in a Risk game, whose ceiling the rules set at x1000 of the total bet, or to spend it on a feature, and Mascot's game page puts its volatility at High.

Verdict
Second run's bonuses ran smaller
Natural bonus rounds averaged 68.15x the stake in the first run and 56.74x in the second, and their slice of ordinary payouts slipped from 38.75% to 32.77%; the best fell from 425.47x, round 5972, to 268.93x in round 7737. Measured RTP went the same way, 93.21% then 88.31%, for 90.76% across the 20,000 rounds.
Priced at FUN 90, 60x the FUN 1.50 stake, the purchases returned 89.10% in the first run and 85.78% in the second, 87.44% over the 100 tickets. Their median moved the other way, from FUN 53.60 to FUN 63.30, while tickets worth double the price or more fell from five to two.
A win landed on 21.86% of first-run rounds and 22.13% of second-run ones, with the median hit at 1.3333x both times. Run two also brought the top base-game win of the series, 107.47x in round 1974, above the 103.33x of round 2071 in run one.
- A first-run bonus, round 5972, paid 425.47x the FUN 1.50 stake, the best of the series
- Second-run round 1974 paid 107.47x, FUN 161.20, on an ordinary spin
- Scatters opened free spins 104 times in 20,000 rounds, once per 192.3
- Double the FUN 90 price or more came back on 7 of the 100 purchases
- Across 100 tickets bought at 60x the stake, 87.44% of the price came back
- No trigger came for 1,080 rounds of the first run, between rounds 2180 and 3261
- Hits of 100x or more dropped from 10 in the first run to 3 in the second
- Only one of the 104 natural triggers had five Scatters, the 50x Scatter pay
Run 01·2026-11-06·93.21%
On all 53 natural triggers the choice screen was answered with Jaguar Gate, 25 spins at x2, and each of the 50 purchases bought that same card. Throne Hall's 10 spins at x5 and Warrior Tomb's 5 at x10 were never played, so the figures below describe one variant out of three.
Free spins alone averaged 55.97x the FUN 1.50 stake in the natural bonuses and 53.46x in the bought ones, which have no paying trigger spin. Counted as whole rounds, the natural mean rises to 68.15x, because trigger spins added FUN 968.40 on top of the spins themselves. Tickets at FUN 90 brought back FUN 4,009.40 for FUN 4,500, 89.10% of what they cost.
The best round of this run, 5972, paid 425.47x, and 218.3x of it came on the 25th and final free spin. Three of the 53 natural bonuses caught Scatters during the spins and doubled to 50 spins; round 8776 was one of them and paid 140.93x.
No base spin went past 103.33x. Rounds 2071 and 4121, at 103.33x and 100x, were both five-Tessa lines on which a single Wild filled one of the five positions, on reel 5 the first time and on reel 2 the second.
Run 02·2026-11-06·88.31%
Fifty Jaguar Gate tickets at FUN 90 each returned FUN 3,860.00 on FUN 4,500 spent, 85.78%, and 36 of them stayed under the price. Ticket 6 paid the most, FUN 247.20 or 2.7467x, with 138.0x the stake on its 14th free spin; ticket 11 was the only one retriggered to 50 spins and returned FUN 156.00. Half of the set paid FUN 63.30 or less.
Fifty-one natural bonuses opened, one per 196.1 rounds, 46 of them from three Scatters and 5 from four, and their whole rounds made 32.77% of what ordinary play paid. Round 7737 topped them at 268.93x, FUN 403.40, after a retrigger took it to 50 spins; its 27th spin alone paid FUN 200.00. Round 5538 was the other 50-spin bonus, at 151.73x.
The 10,000 rounds measured 88.31%, and leaving out round 7737 the other 9,999 came to 85.63%. Its longest string of losing spins ran 34 rounds, 5325 to 5358, and 3 rounds reached 100x or more.

FAQ
7 questions · answered from the log
What made two Tessa Hunt and the Warrior Tomb demo runs return 90.76% instead of 95.15%?
Two runs of 10,000 rounds, 93.21% and 88.31%, give the pooled 90.76% an approximate 95% CI of 81.6% to 99.92%, and 95.15% falls inside it. Round 5972 of the first run, at 425.47x, lifted the pool: the other 19,999 rounds returned 88.64%.
How do Throne Hall and Warrior Tomb compare with Jaguar Gate in the test?
They cannot be compared from this data: both runs chose Jaguar Gate, the 25-spin card, on all 104 natural triggers and all 100 purchases; the 104 natural bonus rounds averaged 62.56x the stake at a median of 50.73x. Throne Hall's 10 spins at x5 and Warrior Tomb's 5 at x10 cost the same 60x in the buy menu but were never played.
How frequently does Tessa Hunt and the Warrior Tomb trigger free spins without a buy?
Every 192.3 rounds on average across 20,000, with 53 triggers in the first run and 51 in the second. Three Scatters opened 97 of the 104, four did 6 and five did 1. The longest dry stretch, 1,080 rounds, followed round 2180 of the first run; in the second the longest was 592, after round 4811.
Do the 60x Jaguar Gate buys in Tessa Hunt and the Warrior Tomb pay for themselves?
No. Ticket 47 of the first run, FUN 339.60, was the outlier; set aside, the other 99 averaged 0.8451x the FUN 90 price. Seventy-four of the 100 came back under that price, and the median was FUN 61.30, 0.681x.
Can a Jaguar Gate bonus go past 50 spins?
No. A retrigger adds 25 spins and none was extended twice, so 50 was the longest: 5 of 104 natural bonuses and 2 of 100 purchases reached it. Round 8776 of the first run, extended like that, paid 140.93x the stake, and ticket 3 of the same run ran 50 spins for FUN 128.20.
While Jaguar Gate plays, can its x2 multiplier rise?
No. Jaguar Gate's total multiplier read x2 after the first spin and still x2 at the end of all 104 natural and 100 bought bonuses. The larger values, x5 and x10, belong to the shorter Throne Hall and Warrior Tomb cards, which the test did not choose.
Do Risk game gambles count in the measured RTP of Tessa Hunt and the Warrior Tomb?
No. The Risk game offer was declined after every win in 20,000 rounds and 100 purchases, so no gamble result is part of the figures.
