Methodology note
Bench window: 2026-04-13 to 2026-04-24 inclusive. Sample: 5,800 base spins at ?10 stake, single-thread reproducible run, no autoplay caps applied. Bonus rounds tracked separately. Multiplier ladder reads taken at every free-spin retrigger. Outliers (top and bottom 1%) reported but not removed from RTP calculation.

Variance profile
Per-100-spin RTP swings ranged from 41% (window 12) to 184% (window 31, where a 312× bonus landed). Standard deviation across 100-spin windows: 38 RTP points, indicative of high-volatility behaviour. p10–p90 RTP spread: 64% to 138%. This is consistent with Pragmatic's published volatility rating of 5/5.
Bonus pool distribution
| Bonus return bracket | Count | % of bonuses |
|---|---|---|
| 0–10× stake | 11 | 34.4% |
| 10–25× stake | 9 | 28.1% |
| 25–50× stake | 6 | 18.8% |
| 50–100× stake | 4 | 12.5% |
| 100×+ | 2 | 6.3% |
32 bonus rounds across the bench. The shape matches Pragmatic Megaways family slots: a heavy left tail of small bonuses, a thin upper tail carrying disproportionate value. Two bonuses (312× and 178×) accounted for 47% of total bonus return.
Multiplier ladder behaviour
During free spins, Madame Destiny Megaways accumulates a global multiplier (+1 per cascade, no reset). Bench observation: average ending multiplier per free-spin round was 7.4×, median was 4×, top observed was 41× (the round that delivered the 312× payout). The multiplier ladder is the dominant source of bonus variance — small bonuses correlate with low ending multipliers.
117,649-ways reconciliation
Megaways grids reconfigure every spin. Bench observed ways distribution:
- 15,625 ways or fewer: 44% of spins
- 15,625–46,656 ways: 38%
- 46,656–117,649 ways: 18%
The full 117,649-ways state was hit 412 times across the bench (7.1% of spins), broadly matching Pragmatic's mathematical model. Average payout on full-ways spins was 1.8× stake — higher than the 0.41× cross-sample average per spin.
Methodology limitations
- 5,800 spins is a short bench for a high-volatility 117,649-ways slot. RTP convergence to provider-stated typically requires 15,000+ spins.
- Single-stake bench (?10) — no test of bet-size sensitivity.
- Bonus Buy mode not benched in this opening pass; will be added in week 2.
- Multiplier ladder data dependent on user-screen capture timing; manual error band ±0.5 multiplier per round.
What to watch in the next bench
The ?0.29 delta against provider-stated is within expected bench tolerance but worth tracking. If week 2 (continuing toward the 15,000-spin convergence target) sustains the negative delta beyond ?0.5, DMSTAT will issue a regression note. For now, registry classification is normal-variance.

FAQ
What does observed RTP mean?
The actual return-to-player calculated across the spins benched, expressed as a percentage. Observed RTP converges toward provider-stated RTP as sample size grows.
Is Madame Destiny Megaways high volatility?
Yes — Pragmatic Play rates it 5/5 on its own volatility scale, and DMSTAT's bench confirms that with a 38-point standard deviation across 100-spin windows.
How does this compare to other Pragmatic Megaways slots?
Variance profile is similar to Great Rhino Megaways and slightly less volatile than Buffalo King Megaways. Bonus trigger frequency is mid-pack — neither the most generous nor the most punishing.
Will DMSTAT publish a follow-up bench?
Yes. The full bench target is 15,000 spins; week 2 will add another 5,000-spin sample plus a 100-buy Bonus Buy sub-bench.
