what we measured
| parameter | value |
|---|---|
| provider / engine | Push Gaming · mystery scatters, Razor Shark engine |
| configs simulated | 96.55% (provider default) · 88.83% (floor of the published ladder) |
| published rtp ladder | 96.55% / 95.40% / 94.49% / 90.55% / 88.83%, a verified 7.72pp spread |
| volatility | extreme |
| 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 | 100,000x stake (max-win probability ~1 in 27 million spins with Push Bet) |
| feature buys | 106x / 186x / 550x / 200x / 500x (non-UK) |
model inputs worth flagging: the five-step RTP ladder, the 100,000x max (and its ~1-in-27M probability) and the priced bonus buys are sourced. Push does not publish a hit frequency or bonus trigger rate for this game, so both were modelled (about 20% hit, about one feature every ~200 spins) as documented assumptions; the bonus payout distribution and base-versus-feature split are model assumptions calibrated to the published RTP and the 100,000x cap. the cross-version comparison holds all inputs constant, so it is robust; absolute bonus figures are estimates.
how long bankrolls survived
the stake sets the clock. at the $100 bankroll the default-version median ran 585 spins at $0.50. extreme volatility means long dry stretches between rare large hits, and the bankroll grinds down in between.
bust rates
bust rates within the 2,000-spin cap, 96.55% default version, 95% confidence intervals:
| $50 bankroll | $100 | $200 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.20/spin | 71.9% ±0.8 | 41.4% ±1.0 | 3.7% ±0.4 |
| $0.50/spin | 89.1% ±0.6 | 77.3% ±0.8 | 53.9% ±1.0 |
| $1.00/spin | 94.9% ±0.4 | 89.6% ±0.6 | 77.3% ±0.8 |
plain reading: hold the bankroll at $100 and move the stake from $0.20 to $0.50, and the bust rate nearly doubles from 41.4% to 77.3%. the only safe cell is $0.20 against $200 (3.7%).
the bonus wait, and what it pays
on our modelled trigger rate (about 1 in 200 spins, an assumption), the feature carries about 57% of the total return. the payout side (model-based estimates): the average feature paid 110x stake but the median was 60x, and 43% paid under 50x. the 100,000x ceiling is the extreme tail (about 1 in 27 million spins); 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 $0.45. then it leaps: the 90th percentile kept $345. extreme-volatility sessions either die or, rarely, detonate.
the rtp version lottery
razor returns has one of the wider spreads we have measured: a published five-step ladder from 96.55% down to 88.83%, a 7.72-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 | 96.55% default | 88.83% floor | delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.20/$100 bust | 41.4% ±1.0 | 54.9% ±1.0 | +13.5pp |
| $0.50/$100 bust | 77.3% ±0.8 | 84.8% ±0.7 | +7.4pp |
| $0.50/$200 bust | 53.9% ±1.0 | 66.0% ±0.9 | +12.1pp |
| $1.00/$200 bust | 77.3% ±0.8 | 84.5% ±0.7 | +7.1pp |
the floor version raised the bust rate by 7 to 14 points depending on the cell, because the spread is nearly eight points wide. same game, same shark. 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 177,035,834 simulated spins (180,000 sessions across two RTP versions), with 95% confidence intervals shown. the ladder, the 100,000x max and its ~1-in-27M probability are sourced; hit frequency and bonus trigger rate are not published and were modelled as documented assumptions; the bonus payout distribution and base-versus-feature split are modelled. the base-game ceiling (400x) is a reasoned estimate. casino-by-casino RTP figures are the published ladder, not statements about any operator's current configuration. model validation: razor-returns v1, analytic calibration exact at 96.55% and 88.83%, 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
57% of this game's RTP is locked inside the bonus you rarely trigger; the base game on its own returns just 42%.
A normal spin in our simulation never returned more than ~400x (€200). The 100,000x top win is a feature event, it only came out of the bonus. (base-game ceiling: model estimate)
