Testing Methodology
Each testing sprint consists of 100+ spins per session at multiple stake levels. We log hit frequency, bonus round cadence, volatility spikes, and balance swings. Data is then normalized and compared to official mathematics provided by Gameburger Studios and Microgaming.
Results that deviate by more than 0.5% from stated RTP trigger a follow-up sprint on a new operator to rule out platform-specific issues. All anomalies are documented in our deep-dive reports.
