The movers: Week 6 summary
| Slot | Provider | Published RTP | Week 5 observed | Week 6 observed | Delta | Sample (Week 6) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starlight Princess 1000 | Pragmatic Play | 96.50 % | 95.91 % | 96.44 % | +0.53 pp | 4,200 spins |
| Mahjong Ways 2 | PG Soft | 96.95 % | 97.10 % | 96.28 % | ?0.82 pp | 3,800 spins |
| Mental | Nolimit City | 96.00 % | 95.43 % | 96.51 % | +1.08 pp | 2,600 spins |
| Chaos Crew 2 | Hacksaw Gaming | 96.23 % | 96.70 % | 95.61 % | ?1.09 pp | 2,200 spins |

Starlight Princess 1000 read: +0.53 pp recovery
Starlight Princess 1000 (Pragmatic Play, published RTP 96.50 %) moved from 95.91 % in Week 5 to 96.44 % in Week 6 — a +0.53 pp recovery that brings the title back within 0.06 pp of its published floor. RLSH bench logged 4,200 spins across the window (May 12–16).
The Week 5 dip to 95.91 % was driven by a free-spins drought in the second half of that window — free spins triggered at 1 per 142 spins versus the bench's prior 4-week average of 1 per 118. In Week 6, that rate returned to 1 per 121, which pulled observed RTP up accordingly.
RLSH flags this as a variance-normalization event, not a structural shift. Starlight Princess 1000's free-spins trigger dependency makes it prone to 2–3-week RTP oscillation bands of ±0.8 pp around its published figure. This week's +0.53 pp is within that expected band.
Mahjong Ways 2 read: ?0.82 pp divergence
Mahjong Ways 2 (PG Soft, published RTP 96.95 %) dropped from 97.10 % in Week 5 to 96.28 % in Week 6 — a ?0.82 pp move that places the observed figure 0.67 pp below the published RTP for the first time in five weeks. RLSH bench: 3,800 spins, May 12–16.
The Week 5 overshoot to 97.10 % was a cluster-pay variance event — two bench sessions hit 5+ cluster chains within 20 spins of each other, inflating the short-window average. Week 6 reverts as the cluster-pay distribution normalizes. The Week 6 reading of 96.28 % is still within 0.67 pp of published — RLSH does not flag this as an anomaly, but notes it for tracking if Week 7 continues below 96.50 %.
Mahjong Ways 2 remains on the RLSH active watch list. See prior RLSH delta reports for the 5-week trend.
Mental read: +1.08 pp — week's largest upward mover
Mental (Nolimit City, published RTP 96.00 %) is the week's largest upward mover: +1.08 pp from 95.43 % to 96.51 %. RLSH bench: 2,600 spins — a smaller sample than the week's other four movers, which increases confidence interval width. Treat this reading with a margin of approximately ±0.4 pp.
Mental's xWays-and-xNudge mechanic creates high-variance spin clusters — a single xNudge activation can produce a run of 8–12 high-return spins that skews short-window RTP significantly. RLSH reads the +1.08 pp as a mechanic-activated cluster event rather than a systemic shift. The 2,600-spin sample is insufficient to confirm convergence at 96.51 %.
RLSH will extend the Mental bench window to 4,000+ spins in Week 7 before drawing session-planning conclusions.
Chaos Crew 2 read: ?1.09 pp — week's largest downward mover
Chaos Crew 2 (Hacksaw Gaming, published RTP 96.23 %) is the week's largest downward mover: ?1.09 pp from 96.70 % to 95.61 %. RLSH bench: 2,200 spins, May 12–16.
Chaos Crew 2 carries a buy-feature option that RLSH excludes from its standard bench protocol — only base-game spins are counted. The Week 5 reading of 96.70 % was elevated because a 200-spin segment ran unusually high scatter frequency (1 per 38 spins vs. the bench's prior average of 1 per 54). Week 6 normalized to 1 per 51, which explains most of the ?1.09 pp retreat.
RLSH notes: Chaos Crew 2 at 95.61 % is 0.62 pp below its published RTP. This is outside the ±0.5 pp band RLSH uses as a soft flag threshold. Week 7 will determine whether this is persistent variance or a two-week correction.
Money Train Origins read: +0.43 pp quiet recovery
Money Train Origins (Relax Gaming, published RTP 96.40 %) moved from 95.88 % to 96.31 % in Week 6 — a quiet +0.43 pp recovery. RLSH bench: 3,100 spins, May 12–16. The Week 5 reading of 95.88 % came after a dry Money Cart bonus window (8 entries in 3,100 spins versus the bench's prior 4-week average of 11 entries). Week 6 entries normalized to 10 per 3,100-spin equivalent.
Money Train Origins at 96.31 % remains 0.09 pp below published. RLSH classifies this as within normal convergence range for a 3,100-spin window on a high-volatility bonus-feature title. No flag raised.

Methodology note
RLSH bench protocol for Week 6:
- All spins at minimum table stake to avoid stake-size RTP tier effects where applicable
- Buy-feature spins excluded from all base-game RTP calculations
- Session windows: May 12 (Monday) to May 16 (Friday), approximately 80–120 spins per daily sub-session
- RTP calculated as total return divided by total stake across the full weekly window
- Sample sizes between 2,200 and 4,200 spins — RLSH treats any window below 3,000 spins as preliminary with a ±0.4 pp confidence margin
- Observed RTP figures are bench observations, not provider-stated values
Provider-published RTP figures are verified against official documentation. RLSH does not claim that bench-window RTP represents long-run convergence — long-run convergence requires millions of spins. Weekly readings are variance snapshots, useful for trend-tracking, not for predicting individual session outcomes.
What to watch in Week 7
RLSH Week 7 monitoring targets:
- Chaos Crew 2: watch for continuation below 95.61 % — if Week 7 bench stays below 96.00 %, RLSH will issue a formal deviation flag
- Mahjong Ways 2: watch for recovery above 96.50 % — current 96.28 % is the first sub-published reading in five weeks
- Mental: extended bench to 4,000+ spins to improve confidence interval
- Starlight Princess 1000: track whether the Week 6 recovery to 96.44 % sustains or reverts toward the Week 5 trough
- Money Train Origins: no flag — routine monitoring continues
Week 7 delta report will publish on the RLSH news page during the week of May 19, 2026.
FAQ
What does an RTP delta of ?1.09 pp mean for my session?
It means the RLSH bench observed Chaos Crew 2 returning 1.09 percentage points less than its published RTP figure over 2,200 spins this week. It does not mean your session will return less. Individual session outcomes are determined by random number generation and can vary widely from the weekly bench average.
Should I avoid Chaos Crew 2 this week because of the negative delta?
RLSH does not issue play or avoid recommendations based on short-window deltas. The delta report is an observation log, not session advice. Chaos Crew 2's published RTP remains 96.23 % — a valid long-run figure that the bench will converge toward over sufficient sample size.
How is the RLSH bench window different from the providers' published RTP?
Providers calculate published RTP through millions of simulated spins under controlled conditions. RLSH bench windows cover 2,200–4,200 real spins per week per title. Short-window observed RTP will deviate from the long-run figure due to normal variance. The RLSH report tracks those deviations week-over-week to identify persistence patterns.
Verdict
Week 6 delivers a 1.1 pp delta range — above the 5-week median and driven primarily by Chaos Crew 2's downward move and Mental's mechanic-activated cluster spike. No title is outside the 1.5 pp band RLSH treats as a structural flag. The week's most actionable data point is Chaos Crew 2's consecutive below-published readings; Week 7 will confirm or clear that signal.
