The movers
| Slot | Provider | Provider-stated RTP | RLSH bench | Sample | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugar Rush 1000 | Pragmatic Play | 96.50% | 96.55% | 5,400 | +0.05 |

Both deltas fall inside RLSH's ±0.4 tolerance for the sample-size band. No regression flag. No methodology adjustment needed.
Sugar Rush 1000 (Pragmatic Play) read
The 1000-multiplier ceiling sequel to Sugar Rush. Cluster-pay grid, 7 × 7, sticky multiplier locations during free spins. Provider-stated 96.50%. RLSH bench at 96.55% suggests neutral-to-slightly-favourable variance over the sample window.
- Bonus trigger p50: 218 spins
- Bonus trigger p95: 642 spins
- Average free-spin payout: 38× stake
- Top observed single bonus: 712×
- Multiplier ceiling reached: 0 times in 5,400 spins (the 1,000× max win is rare)
The 1,000× ceiling on Sugar Rush 1000 is roughly 200× higher than the original Sugar Rush. Bench observation: ceiling is rare — across 19 bonus rounds, the largest payout (712×) is well below cap.
Hand of Anubis II (Hacksaw Gaming) read
Hacksaw Gaming's sequel to Hand of Anubis. Adds a third Soul Orb tier and raises the multiplier ceiling. Provider-stated 96.49%. RLSH bench at 96.21% suggests slightly negative variance — within tolerance, but worth tracking through week 5.
- Bonus trigger p50: 241 spins
- Bonus trigger p95: 718 spins
- Average free-spin payout: 31× stake (lower than original Hand of Anubis at 38× stake)
- Top observed single bonus: 891×
- Soul Orb tier 3 hits: 2 (extreme rare event in sequel design)
Hand of Anubis II's bonus distribution is wider than the original — more low-end bonuses, occasional Soul Orb tier 3 events that drive disproportionate value. Bench classification: high-variance regression, requires longer sample for confident RTP read.
Methodology note
- Bench window: 2026-04-19 to 2026-04-25 inclusive
- Single-stake bench: ₱8 per spin for both slots
- Reproducible run: identical scripts, no autoplay caps
- Bonus rounds tracked separately, multiplier ladder readings at every retrigger
- Outliers (top and bottom 1% of single-spin payouts) reported, not removed
What to watch in week 5
- Sugar Rush 1000: sample to 10,000 spins, confirm RTP convergence holds within ±0.2 of provider-stated
- Hand of Anubis II: sample to 10,000 spins, watch for Soul Orb tier 3 frequency — if it stays at the current 1-per-2,400 rate, the slot is honest; if it drops, a regression note will be issued
- Both slots eligible for cross-bench comparison against their respective originals (Sugar Rush, Hand of Anubis) in week 6
Reading the delta table
Delta is observed RTP minus provider-stated RTP. Positive delta = bench outperforming stated; negative = bench underperforming. RLSH tolerance band is ±0.4 for samples 4,000–10,000, ±0.2 for samples above 10,000. Outside tolerance triggers a regression note.

FAQ
What does RTP delta mean?
The difference between observed RTP (what the slot actually returned across the bench) and provider-stated RTP (what the provider published). Positive = better than expected, negative = worse.
Why does RLSH track weekly?
Weekly cadence catches drift early. Long-term RTP converges to provider-stated, but weekly windows expose short-term variance, methodology gaps, and provider-side configuration changes.
Is a −0.28 delta on Hand of Anubis II a problem?
No — within ±0.4 tolerance for the sample size. Worth tracking. If week 5 sustains the negative delta beyond −0.4, RLSH will publish a regression note.
Where is the next bench update?
Week 5 publishes on 2026-05-02 with the next mover slate.
