243 WAYS

Hi, can anyone help me with some maths questions, I am doing a 243 way game and I cant seem to get the maths to hit RTP.

I am basically running sims and they are coming out about 3% above my calculations.

The three of a kind hits all seem to payout correctly but the 4 and 5 seem out. I believe this is to with stacking of symbols on these reels, but can't see a way of calculating this? (the more I stack them the more the RTP goes up

Any help would be much appreciated?

Most 243 ways don’t have wilds on the first reel. Is this true for your game?

I would expect the problem to be with 3 and 4 of a kind and not 5, because of the stacking.

For 5 of a kind, stacking doesn’t change anything. Let’s say you have a symbol, S1, and S1 or Wild is W1.
5k hits = S1*W1*W1*W1*W1*3^5

For 4 of a kind, you also need to use the symbol X1, which is anything but S1 or W1. X1 is all of the times you land on a reel and don’t see S1 or W1, which varies with stacking; the more you stack, more often you will not see your symbol on reel 5. So, it’s not as easy as X1=reel length - 3*W1, but you need to look at every stop and determine if S1 or Wild is in the screen.
4K hits=S1*W1*W1*W1*X1*3^4

For 3K, we’ll also use symbol XX, which is anything, or just the length of the reel,
3K hits =S1*W1*W1*X1*XX*3^3

Hi Crystal Math, Yup haven't got any wilds on reel 1.

I have written the par sheet from scratch, and think I may have to start again to implement your thoughts.

Was kind of hoping someone on here would have a blank template

That would be too easy. Plus, you’ll be better off figuring it out on your own.

Cheers Crystal, will have a go, think I kind of get you!
