temple tumble is Relax Gaming's original Megaways-style tumbler, and unusually it ships at a single fixed 96.25% RTP, no version ladder. we simulated 92,087,022 spins of the 96.25% version. at $0.50 a spin against a $100 bankroll, 78.1% of sessions busted before the 2,000-spin cap. there is no version lottery here to steer around, just the same negative-expectation maths as the rest of our library.

Run it yourself in the live simulator. All figures are simulation-based observations, not predictions. See our methodology.

model inputs worth flagging: the RTP (96.25%, fixed) and the 7,767x max are sourced. Relax does not publish a hit frequency or bonus trigger rate for this game, so both were modelled (about 25% hit, one feature every ~180 spins) as documented assumptions; the bonus payout distribution and base-versus-feature split are model assumptions calibrated to the published RTP and the 7,767x cap. a bonus buy appears on some newer clients but its RTP is not published, so we did not model a buy.

how long bankrolls survived

survival curves, share of sessions still alive vs spins played

the stake sets the clock. at the $100 bankroll the default-version median ran 562 spins at $0.50. the tumbling base keeps small wins coming, but the meaningful payouts wait behind the free-spins trigger, and most sessions run dry before one lands.

bust rates

bust-rate grid, share of sessions that busted before the spin cap

bust rates within the 2,000-spin cap, 95% confidence intervals:

$50 bankroll$100$200
$0.20/spin73.7% ±0.943.0% ±1.03.9% ±0.4
$0.50/spin90.4% ±0.678.1% ±0.856.2% ±1.0
$1.00/spin94.9% ±0.489.7% ±0.679.5% ±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 43.0% to 78.1%. the only safe cell is $0.20 against $200 (3.9%).

the bonus wait, and what it pays

on our modelled trigger rate (about 1 in 180 spins, an assumption), the feature carries about 64% 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 7,767x ceiling is the rare tail; a typical feature pays around half the average.

what a finished session looks like

final bankroll by percentile

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 $332. the tumbler lands in the same die-or-detonate shape as the rest of our library.

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 92,087,022 simulated spins (90,000 sessions), with 95% confidence intervals shown. temple tumble ships at a single fixed 96.25% RTP with no published version ladder. 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 (300x) is a reasoned estimate; the 7,767x max is a feature event. model validation: temple-tumble v1, analytic calibration exact at 96.25%, 10M-spin check 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

base 35%
feature 62%

64% of this game's RTP is locked inside the bonus you rarely trigger; the base game on its own returns just 35%.

A normal spin in our simulation never returned more than ~300x (€150). The 7,767x top win is a feature event, it only came out of the bonus. (base-game ceiling: model estimate)
