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 — Pragmatic Play and Hacksaw Gaming — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
Published RTP: 96.50% against 96.27% — Hammerstorm is 0.23 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
Both cap out at roughly the same place: 10,000× and 10,000×.
Volatility cannot be compared: Sand and Ashes does not publish a rating.
Worth noticing: the higher RTP and the higher win cap sit on opposite sides. Hammerstorm returns more in theory over the long run, while Sand and Ashes reaches further at its ceiling. The two numbers answer different questions.
