Reading the difference
Reading the difference
Some dimensions are excluded because one studio does not publish that figure.
- Different format families: Merlin's Secret Maxways is Maxways, Merlin's Grimoire is Ways to win. Read each screen with its own rule set.
- They come from different studios — Microgaming and Play’n GO — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
- Published RTP: 96.04% against 96.20% — Merlin's Grimoire is 0.16 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
- Win caps differ by about 1.3×: 40,000× against 30,000×, with Merlin's Secret Maxways higher. A cap is a rulebook ceiling, not an expectation.
- Volatility labels differ: Very high against High. The label describes how widely outcomes scatter, not whether one game is better.
- Worth noticing: the higher RTP and the higher win cap sit on opposite sides. Merlin's Grimoire returns more in theory over the long run, while Merlin's Secret Maxways reaches further at its ceiling. The two numbers answer different questions.
- Shared theme signals: Fantasy.
