what we measured
| parameter | value |
|---|---|
| provider / engine | Pragmatic Play · cluster pays, tumble, super scatter feature |
| configs simulated | 96.51% (provider default) · 94.48% (floor of the published ladder) |
| published rtp ladder | 96.51% / 95.56% / 94.48%, a verified ~2.0pp spread the casino selects |
| volatility | high (5/5) |
| 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 | 50,000x stake (a feature event) |
| bonus buy | 100x (regular) / 500x (super); Ante Bet (non-UK) |
model inputs worth flagging: the RTP ladder, the 50,000x max and the bonus buys are sourced. the hit frequency (~42.95%) and bonus trigger rate (~1 in 451) come from a third-party simulation of 10.4M rounds, not provider data, treat as indicative; the bonus payout distribution and base-versus-feature split are model assumptions calibrated to the published RTP and the 50,000x 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 551 spins at $0.50, but with the bonus roughly 450 spins away, a $100 bankroll at $0.50 frequently empties before a single feature lands.
bust rates
bust rates within the 2,000-spin cap, 96.51% default version, 95% confidence intervals:
| $50 bankroll | $100 | $200 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.20/spin | 75.3% ±0.8 | 46.3% ±1.0 | 2.1% ±0.3 |
| $0.50/spin | 91.0% ±0.6 | 80.4% ±0.8 | 57.5% ±1.0 |
| $1.00/spin | 95.3% ±0.4 | 90.6% ±0.6 | 80.4% ±0.8 |
plain reading: hold the bankroll at $100 and move the stake from $0.20 to $0.50, and the bust rate jumps from 46.3% to 80.4%. the long bonus wait is why even the $0.20/$100 cell busts nearly half the time.
the bonus wait, and what it pays
on the (third-party) rate of about 1 in 451 spins, this is one of the longest bonus waits in our library. when it lands it pays well, our model put the average at 199x stake and the median at 109x, with only a quarter of bonuses under 50x, because almost all the volatility is packed into that rare round. a long wait for a big-but-rare feature empties bankrolls: most sessions pay for the wait and never collect.
what a finished session looks like
the final-bankroll distribution at $0.50/$100 has almost no middle. eight sessions in ten ended with $0.50 or less of the original $100, busted, in effect, with the median finish near $0.44. then it leaps: the 90th percentile kept $304. the bright candy theme hides the familiar die-or-detonate shape, sharpened by the long bonus wait.
the rtp version lottery
sweet bonanza super scatter is published at 96.51% and also at 95.56% and 94.48%, a ~2.0-point spread the casino selects. we ran the full grid at the default and the floor; same model, same inputs, only the RTP changed:
| cell | 96.51% default | 94.48% floor | delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.20/$100 bust | 46.3% ±1.0 | 50.3% ±1.0 | +4.0pp |
| $0.50/$100 bust | 80.4% ±0.8 | 82.0% ±0.8 | +1.6pp |
| $0.50/$200 bust | 57.5% ±1.0 | 61.8% ±1.0 | +4.3pp |
| $1.00/$200 bust | 80.4% ±0.8 | 82.7% ±0.8 | +2.2pp |
the floor version raised the bust rate in every cell. the effect is moderate because the spread is only two points, but it is free margin for whichever operator runs it. 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 180,522,770 simulated spins (180,000 sessions across two RTP versions), with 95% confidence intervals shown. hit frequency (~42.95%) and the bonus trigger rate (~1 in 451) are third-party simulated, not provider-published; the bonus payout distribution and base-versus-feature split are modelled. the base-game ceiling (300x) is a reasoned estimate; the 50,000x max is a feature event. casino-by-casino RTP figures are the published ladder, not statements about any operator's current configuration. model validation: sweet-bonanza-super-scatter v1, analytic calibration exact at 96.51% and 94.48%, 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
46% of this game's RTP is locked inside the bonus you rarely trigger; the base game on its own returns just 52%.
A normal spin in our simulation never returned more than ~300x (€150). The 50,000x top win is a feature event, it only came out of the bonus. (base-game ceiling: model estimate)
