[Quick take] Candy Burst — PG Soft

Released on the same day and at the same RTP as Mahjong Ways 2, with a very different cap. It shows how little a single RTP says about a game's character.

Core rules

Candy Burst came out on 2020-04-14 with a published RTP of 96.95% and a 15000x max win. It lists two features, the Candy Burst Feature and the Free Spins Feature; the spec sheet gives no reel count. Volatility and bet range are not published either.

What stands out

Mahjong Ways 2, released on the same 2020-04-14, also reads 96.95%. Its cap, though, is 100000x against Candy Burst's 15000x. Two games can return the same long-run share while splitting it into very different win sizes, and RTP alone will not say how.
