Mental 2 bonus buy: 86.81% of buys returned less than they cost

Across 100,000 simulated 6x buys, 86.81% of Mental 2 bonus buys returned less than they cost. The median buy returned 0.08x its cost, while the average matched the 96.06% RTP, carried by rare big hits.

Model basis: feature-round returns are modelled as a calibrated heavy-tailed (capped log-normal) distribution, mean set to 96.06% (base RTP (buy RTP not published, modelled, flagged)), tail scaled to the 99,999x ceiling. Providers do not publish feature-round distributions, so this is a model, not observed data, flagged per our methodology.

Every buy tier averages the same RTP, so the expensive buy is not better value, it just widens the variance.

The honest read

A bonus buy is a single high-variance bet. The average is not the typical outcome: most buys here returned less than they cost, and the rare big multipliers that lift the average are exactly that, rare. Buying the feature does not improve your odds, it pays to skip to them. 18+, this is analysis, not betting advice.
