Play’n GO

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: 95.92% against 96.25% — Marlin Masters OG is 0.33 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
Both cap out at roughly the same place: 7,280× and 7,500×.
Volatility cannot be compared: Marlin Masters OG does not publish a rating.

Published RTP: 95.92% against 96.25% — Star Joker is 0.33 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
Win caps differ by about 1.5×: 7,280× against 5,000×, with Santa higher. A cap is a rulebook ceiling, not an expectation.
Both carry the same volatility label: Low.
Worth noticing: the higher RTP and the higher win cap sit on opposite sides. Star Joker returns more in theory over the long run, while Santa reaches further at its ceiling. The two numbers answer different questions.
