what we measured
| parameter | value |
|---|---|
| provider / engine | Push Gaming · 5×6, 50 lines, sequel to Big Bamboo |
| configs simulated | 96.36% (provider default) · 85.68% (published floor of the ladder) |
| published rtp ladder | 96.36% / 94.45% / 85.68%, a verified 10.7pp spread |
| volatility | high |
| stakes | $0.20 / $0.50 / $1.00 per spin |
| bankrolls | $50 / $100 / $200 |
| sessions | 10,000 per stake/bankroll cell, 90,000 per version |
| spin cap | 2,000 spins per session |
| max win | 75,000x stake (a feature event) |
model inputs worth flagging: the three-step RTP ladder and the 75,000x max are sourced (two independent sources for the ladder). because the game is new, bonus-buy availability is not yet confirmed and is not modelled. Push does not publish a hit frequency or bonus trigger rate, so both were modelled (about 20% hit, one feature every ~200 spins) as documented assumptions; the bonus payout distribution and the ~400x base-game ceiling are model assumptions calibrated to the published RTP and the 75,000x cap. the cross-version comparison holds all inputs constant, so it is robust.
how long bankrolls survived
the stake sets the clock. at the $100 bankroll the default-version median ran 648 spins at $0.50. the base game keeps small wins coming, but the meaningful payouts wait behind the feature, and most sessions run dry before one lands.
bust rates
bust rates within the 2,000-spin cap, 96.36% default version, 95% confidence intervals:
| $50 bankroll | $100 | $200 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.20/spin | 69.1% ±0.9 | 37.3% ±0.9 | 2.1% ±0.3 |
| $0.50/spin | 88.6% ±0.6 | 76.0% ±0.8 | 50.0% ±1.0 |
| $1.00/spin | 94.5% ±0.4 | 88.5% ±0.6 | 75.7% ±0.8 |
plain reading: hold the bankroll at $100 and move the stake from $0.20 to $0.50, and the bust rate doubles from 37.3% to 76.0%. the only safe cell is $0.20 against $200 (2.1%).
the bonus wait, and what it pays
on our modelled trigger rate (about 1 in 200 spins, an assumption), the feature carries about 49% of the total return. the payout side (model-based estimates): the average feature paid 95x stake but the median was 52x, and 49% paid under 50x. the 75,000x ceiling is the rare tail; a typical feature pays around half the average.
what a finished session looks like
the final-bankroll distribution at $0.50/$100 has almost no middle. seven sessions in ten ended with under $0.50 of the original $100, busted, in effect, with the median finish near $0.33. then it leaps: the 90th percentile kept $327. the same die-or-detonate shape as the rest of our library.
the rtp version lottery
big bamboo 2 launched with one of the wider spreads we track: a published ladder from 96.36% down to 85.68%, a 10.7-point gap, and the casino picks the rung. we ran the full grid at the default and the floor; same model, same inputs, only the RTP changed:
| cell | 96.36% default | 85.68% floor | delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.20/$100 bust | 37.3% ±0.9 | 55.3% ±1.0 | +18.0pp |
| $0.50/$100 bust | 76.0% ±0.8 | 85.9% ±0.7 | +9.9pp |
| $0.50/$200 bust | 50.0% ±1.0 | 66.9% ±0.9 | +16.9pp |
| $1.00/$200 bust | 75.7% ±0.8 | 85.5% ±0.7 | +9.8pp |
the floor version raised the bust rate by 10 to 18 points, because the spread is nearly eleven points wide. same game, same bamboo. the only difference is the RTP the operator chose to run. the version is the one variable a player can actually pick, so play it where the published RTP is highest. our casino hub ranks operators by exactly that.
methodology note
we simulate models calibrated to published math, RTP, hit frequency, volatility profile, bonus behaviour, not the provider's game engine. results are sample-based observations from 97,175,840 simulated spins (180,000 sessions across two RTP versions), with 95% confidence intervals shown. this is big bamboo 2 (2026), a separate game from big bamboo (2022). hit frequency and bonus trigger rate are not published and were modelled as documented assumptions; the bonus payout distribution and the ~400x base-game ceiling are reasoned estimates, not sourced. the 75,000x max is a feature event. casino-by-casino RTP figures are the published ladder, not statements about any operator's current configuration. model validation: big-bamboo-2 v1, analytic calibration exact at 96.36% and 85.68%, 10M-spin checks within tolerance. slots are negative-expectation games; nothing here predicts outcomes or improves odds. corrections policy: methodology.html.
Where the max win actually comes from
49% of this game's RTP is locked inside the bonus you rarely trigger; the base game on its own returns just 49%.
A normal spin in our simulation never returned more than ~400x (€200). The 75,000x top win is a feature event, it only came out of the bonus. (base-game ceiling: model estimate)
