The buy is priced at 99.9997% of 125x
The bonus buy costs 125 times the stake. Its long-run return was computed at 99.9997% of that price. The pieces are a canned opening that pays 3x the scatter minimum, plus a bonus session whose expected value is 121.9996x. Add them and divide by 125. The edge on that price is 0.0003%. This is a different figure from the 99.9720% on ordinary play. Read 18 October 2026.
On a $1 stake the buy costs $125. The expected return is about $124.9996, not $125 on the ticket you buy today. The distribution is skewed. Many buys pay less than $125. A few pay more, up to the 5,000x lid, which on a $1 stake is $5,000 and is rare.
The opening frame is not a reel result. Captured buys showed 4 scatters and then 10 free spins. That frame is outside the provably fair chain. The 475 captured free spins after those openings did reconcile. If you need the trigger itself to be recomputable, a natural 3-scatter entry is the path that stays inside the chain, and it starts at 8 spins rather than 10.
