Reading the difference

Some dimensions are excluded because one studio does not publish that figure.

Both titles are built on the same format family: Fixed paylines. Differences between them therefore come from tuning, not from structure.
They come from different studios — Play’n GO and Microgaming — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
Published RTP: 96.20% against 96.10% — Viking Runecraft 100 is 0.10 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
Both carry the same volatility label: High.
Shared theme signals: Norse myth.

Different format families: Viking Runecraft 100 is Fixed paylines, Santa’s Gift Rush is Standard video slot. Read each screen with its own rule set.
They come from different studios — Play’n GO and PG Soft — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
Published RTP: 96.20% against 96.36% — Santa’s Gift Rush is 0.16 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
Win caps differ by about 1.7×: 15,000× against 9,000×, with Viking Runecraft 100 higher. A cap is a rulebook ceiling, not an expectation.
Volatility cannot be compared: Santa’s Gift Rush does not publish a rating.
Worth noticing: the higher RTP and the higher win cap sit on opposite sides. Santa’s Gift Rush returns more in theory over the long run, while Viking Runecraft 100 reaches further at its ceiling. The two numbers answer different questions.
Shared theme signals: Fantasy.
