The structural difference between two games, assembled from published specifications only. Nothing here forecasts a result or recommends either game.

Pragmatic Play

Play’n GO

Hacksaw Gaming

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 Play’n GO — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
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.
