A round record you can reconcile

The preserved starting credit was USD 100,000. A normal USD 2 stake was placed once. The settled payout list contained four returns: USD 1.50 for ten green beans, USD 1.60 for ten orange candies, USD 2.00 for eight red bears and USD 1.00 for nine purple candies. Their sum is USD 6.10. Subtract the original USD 2 to get a net change of positive USD 4.10.

The final idle screen displays USD 100,004.10, which agrees with the opening credit minus stake plus return. An intermediate screen showed USD 5.26 during the animated count-up. We retained it as an intermediate capture rather than treating it as the result. This distinction prevents a very ordinary recording error: collecting the visible number before the game has finished settling.

How to read the round stepper

The stepper shows the accounting stages of this one captured round. The opening stage uses the balance before the stake; the debit stage subtracts the paid amount; the return stage lists the four symbol payouts; and the settled stage reconciles the final credit. Its display is an explanation of the saved screenshots, not a second game and not a simulated new result.

Positive net values appear in green and negative net values in red, with signs retained so colour is not the only signal. A payout or balance is not coloured green merely because it is a positive number. For example, a hypothetical R10 return from a R40 entry still produces a R30 net loss. That same calculation applies when a feature looks successful on screen but returns less than its purchase price.

Use the full-cost calculator before comparing results

Enter a hypothetical base stake in rand, select a mode and enter a total return in rand. The tool multiplies the base by the verified mode price: one for Normal, five for Ante Bet, twenty for Super Spin 1, 250 for Super Spin 2, 100 for Buy Free Spins or 500 for Buy Super Free Spins. It then subtracts that complete cost from your entered return.

For example, a R2 base in Super Spin 1 costs R40. If the total return is R25, the net is negative R15. The same R25 return from a normal R2 entry would be positive R23. Those are hypothetical calculations, not recorded South African outcomes. The tool deliberately asks for money returned rather than an ambiguous on-screen multiplier, because the denominator of an enhanced-mode display can be misunderstood.

The calculator cannot predict the next return, validate a casino balance or tell you which mode has the best expected value. Its price ratios come from the inspected demo rules and menus. If the client you open quotes another price or does not offer a mode, use its current conditions and report the difference; do not assume this arithmetic tool overrides the game.

What this inspection establishes

On 22 October 2026 we opened the official public demo, inspected all eight rules screens, captured both price menus and completed the one ordinary virtual round described here. Original files are retained separately from the compressed crops shown in the articles. Crops enlarge the relevant control or result; they do not change the displayed amounts or turn a provider illustration into a played result.

The record is based on visible UI reconciliation. It is not a request-paired network audit, a funded operator test or a statistically meaningful sample. We have not measured bonus frequencies, compared the six options by expected return or replayed a profitable strategy. The rules' 96.50% theoretical RTP is separate from this single round and must not be presented as a measured outcome from it.

This distinction keeps the useful evidence easy to check: the menu demonstrates a price, the rules describe a feature, and the settled screenshot demonstrates one observed result. None proves the availability of the game at the destination of a commercial link. Operator availability belongs to a dated listing check, while deposits and withdrawals would require their own properly documented test.
