One ticket equals 100 ordinary stakes. Natural bonuses occurred once per 500 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.
Risk profile
how much bankroll the 2 runs in sequence needed
| 50 bets | bust at spin 75 |
| 100 bets | bust at spin 182 |

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
7 rules screens from the game
Fruit clusters pay when matching symbols touch along their sides on a square board with 7 rows and 7 columns. The smallest eligible group contains 5 symbols, and a Wild can substitute for any fruit touching its cluster. Each paid group clears space for the next tumble, so one ordinary stake can fund several successive awards. There are no fixed paylines.
A winning group can leave a Wild behind for the next tumble. Ordinary Wilds begin at 2x and can double through later appearances; bonus Wilds begin at 3x and triple instead. Multiple Wild values are added within each winning group, subject to the relevant combined ceiling: 256x in ordinary play and 729x during the feature. High volatility, a 5,000x round ceiling, ordinary bets of USD 0.20–240, 96.53% regular RTP and 96.45% purchase RTP belong to this recorded build.
Initial awards step from 10 spins for 3 Scatters to 12 for 4, 15 for 5, 20 for 6 and 25 for 7. Another set of at least 3 inside the feature adds 5 spins. Scatters also pay, so the entry award and the later bonus winnings are separate parts of the complete round. A Wild shared by different fruit clusters can apply to every one of them.
Buying the entry costs 100 times the normal stake. Statistical testing and browser footage used separate sessions at USD 2 per ordinary spin. A total-round ceiling of 5,000x ends any unfinished action when reached.

Verdict
One round holds the surplus
Two sessions of 10,000 spins returned 144.87% and then 74.59%, 109.73% together, and the printed 96.53% sits inside the pooled 72.6 to 146.9% band. A single round holds the whole surplus: set aside round 1486 of the first run, 3,013.1x, and the other 19,999 rounds returned 94.67%. Nothing else moved between the sessions, with a hit on 40.1% and 40.6% of spins, a 0.6x median and no empty stretch past 15.
Extremes belong to the ordinary reels here, not to the feature. Eleven ordinary rounds cleared 100x across 20,000 spins against nine features, and the four largest rounds of the series, 3,013.1x, 1,892.95x, 631.85x and 631.65x, all landed without a Scatter in sight. The doubling ladder is why: the first run recorded a 256x Wild, the ordinary ceiling, seven times, while the second never passed 128x and its best ordinary round stopped at 178.55x.
Forty natural triggers, one per 500 spins, paid 87.84x the stake on average, 61.7x at the median, and made 16.0% of all money returned; waits of 1,448 and 1,721 spins sat between them. The hundred purchases, USD 200 apiece, gave back 0.9349x of price, 1.0554x in the first run and 0.8145x in the second, with 72 tickets below price, seven above 2x and two above 5x, the best 9.5285x. The pooled balance closed 1,946 stakes up on the strength of that one round, yet its deepest trough, 3,223 stakes, arrived on the closing spins of the second run.
- Both runs paid on 40.4% of spins, and no empty stretch passed 15 in 20,000
- Eleven ordinary rounds cleared 100x over 20,000 spins, four of them above 600x
- Ticket 6 of the first run returned 9.5285x, one of two among the 100 to pass 5x the price
- Every Wild value, spin and ticket of both runs is downloadable with checksums
- The second run returned 74.59%, and its 63.8 to 85.4% band stops eleven points under the declared 96.53%
- Seventy-two of 100 tickets lost money, and the second run's fifty came back at 0.8145x of price
- Natural bonuses came once per 500 spins, with waits of 1,448 and 1,721 spins between them
- The 256x ordinary ceiling was recorded seven times in the first run and never in the second
Run 01·2026-09-16·144.87%
The revealing moment came in ordinary round 1486. Two Wilds displayed 256x and 16x, which sum to 272x, yet both fruit clusters sharing them received a 256x factor. The wider pear cluster had an unmultiplied value of USD 20 and paid USD 5,120; the blueberry cluster paid USD 204.80, with an unrelated USD 0.80 cluster completing that screen's USD 5,325.60.
The round ultimately returned USD 6,026.20 after 17 winning tumbles, equal to 3,013.1x the USD 2 stake, without entering free spins. Natural entries occurred in 21 ordinary rounds; their complete rounds returned USD 4,298.40, or 14.84% of the ordinary return, USD 4,159.10 of it from the bonus alone.
Purchase outcomes tell a separate story: 34 of the 50 tickets returned less than their USD 200 price, with a median of USD 120.25 and a mean of 1.05541x that price. Ticket 6 led that series at USD 1,905.70, and the purchase ledger finished USD 554.10 ahead.
The ordinary-round finding is about the Wild ceiling itself: once a shared cluster reaches 256x, additional Wild value need not raise its applied factor.
Run 02·2026-09-21·74.59%
The second series returned 74.59% of stake against the printed 96.53%, an approximate 95% band of 63.8 to 85.4% that stops eleven points short of it, and the tightest of the two runs because nothing extreme happened; the balance stood above its start only on spin 67, 13 bets up, and fell from there to close 2,541 bets down, its lowest point the last spin of the session. Fifty bets lasted 63 spins, a hundred 285 and two hundred 508, the 2,000-spin blocks returned 73.7%, 58.4%, 81.7%, 108.9% and 50.4%, a hit landed on 40.6% of spins at a 0.6x median, and the longest empty run was 14 spins.
The ordinary ladder never reached its ceiling. Where the first run recorded a 256x Wild seven times, this one stopped at 128x, twice, and its best ordinary round was 178.55x on round 6344 from a 21-step chain, against 3,013.1x in the first; four ordinary rounds cleared 100x. Nineteen natural features, one per 526 spins with a 1,721-spin wait after round 4841, paid 71.82x the stake on average and 57.65x in the middle, 18.3% of everything returned; eighteen ran the basic ten spins, round 7439 started with twelve from four Scatters, and none was extended. Round 7171 led them at 272.4x, the weakest paid 15.65x, and the tripling ladder inside the feature reached 243x once, as it had in the first run.
Fifty purchases at USD 200 came back at 0.8145x of price, 81.45%, with a 0.5288x median, USD 105.75, and 38 tickets below price; two ran past ten spins. Buy 4 carried the set at 6.458x, USD 1,291.60, and without it the other 49 returned 0.6993x; buy 21 was the weakest at 0.1345x, USD 26.90.

Second run, five days after the first: the return dropped from 144.87% to 74.59%, and the pooled 72.6–146.9% band still holds the printed 96.53%. The difference is one round: the first run's 3,013.1x on spin 1486 aside, the two runs together returned 94.67%. The ordinary Wild ladder stopped at 128x here against seven 256x Wilds in the first run, the best ordinary round fell from 3,013.1x to 178.55x, and the 50 buys slipped from 1.0554x to 0.8145x of price.
2 test runs combined into one sample (2026-09-16, 2026-09-21): 20000 ordinary paid rounds, including naturally triggered features, at a fixed USD 2.0 bet; 100 bonus buys at 200.0 each (100.0x) on the official Pragmatic Play demo server (jurisdiction 99, RTP profile 96.53%); every request and response logged.

FAQ
7 questions · answered from the log
Does a combined Wild multiplier have a ceiling?
Yes. Ordinary round 1486 of the first run ran into it when a 256x Wild and a 16x Wild sat in two winning clusters: their sum was 272x, the factor applied to each cluster was 256x, and the larger cluster paid USD 5,120 from a USD 20 unmultiplied value. Inside the feature the ceiling is 729x instead.
Which rungs did the Wild ladders actually reach?
Ordinary Wilds start at 2x and double, so the ladder runs 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256. The logs record a 256x Wild seven times during the first run but never in the second, whose largest ordinary Wild was 128x on two occasions. The tripling ladder of the feature, 3 to 243, reached its top step once in each run.
Did buying free spins recover the ticket cost?
No, not over the two runs. The 100 tickets cost USD 20,000 and returned USD 18,698.60, 0.9349x of price, after 1.0554x in the first run and 0.8145x in the second; 72 finished below price and the median paid USD 117.65. Ticket 6 of the first run led at 9.5285x and ticket 4 of the second at 6.458x, and without the best of them the other 99 returned 0.8481x.
How frequent were the natural bonuses?
Forty entries across 20,000 ordinary rounds, one per 500 spins: 21 in the first run and 19 in the second. The longest droughts ran 1,448 rounds in the first and 1,721 in the second, between rounds 4841 and 6563. These are observed intervals, not a schedule for the next feature.
Which RTP settings apply here?
Regular play in this build is set at 96.53% and purchases at 96.45%. The measured ordinary series returned 144.87% and then 74.59%, 109.73% over the two runs together, while the 100 tickets returned 93.49% of their spend. Two runs of 10,000 spins cannot confirm or deny either setting.
Can an ordinary spin produce a large win?
Yes, and it produced the biggest wins of both runs. Round 1486 of the first returned USD 6,026.20 from a USD 2 stake, 3,013.1x, without entering free spins, and round 2086 of the same run paid 1,892.95x. The second run's ordinary reels peaked far lower, at 178.55x on round 6344 from a 21-step chain.
How many spins does a purchased bonus start with?
A purchase buys a Scatter entry, and the schedule assigns 10, 12, 15, 20 or 25 initial spins to 3 through 7 Scatters. Across the 100 tickets of both runs 94 started with ten spins, and six ran longer after further Scatters landed inside the feature. Among natural entries only one of the 40 was extended.
