Mental and Fire in the Hole xBomb are both Nolimit City titles with six-figure win caps. Only one published number explains why one pays its cap roughly seven times more often than the other.

Two of the eighty live slot titles this site tracks publish a probability for their advertised maximum win, and both come from Nolimit City. 66,666×◦ carries a cap of 66,666x, stated at odds of one in 18,000,000 on the studio's own page. Its stablemate 60,000×◦ caps lower, at 60,000x, yet the same studio states odds of one in 2,400,000 for that title. The gap between those two numbers is the whole argument.
A max win figure is the largest multiplier a slot's paytable and feature set can mathematically produce. It is calculated by running the model to its ceiling, not by observing a real session, and it says nothing about how often that ceiling is actually reached. Sixty five of the eighty titles this site tracks carry a stored maximum win multiplier at all. Of those sixty five, only two also carry a published probability.
The other sixty three state a cap with no denominator. That alone is not a defect. A cap with no odds attached is still real and checkable: it is sourced to the studio's own page, and it can be compared against another studio's cap as a ceiling. What it cannot do alone is say how reachable that ceiling is, or whether two similar-looking caps mean anything close to the same thing.
The card above is what a probability actually buys a reader. 66,666×◦ caps at 66,666x, and Nolimit City's own game page states the odds of a single spin reaching it. Fire in the Hole xBomb carries a lower cap, 60,000×◦, alongside odds of one in 2,400,000 on the same site.
Read the two numbers side by side and the cap alone is misleading. Its ceiling is lower. Its published odds of reaching that ceiling are roughly seven and a half times shorter than Mental's. A player choosing between the two on the headline multiplier alone would pick the game less likely to pay its own cap, and never know it from the cap.
The disclosure is not consistent even within the studio. San Quentin xWays carries the highest cap in this sample, 150,000×◦, and Nolimit City's own spec block names the feature that reaches it, calling the event the Psycho Manhunt. No probability accompanies that figure on the source this record has read. A studio that discloses odds on two of its own titles has left a third one silent. Nothing explains why.
Nineteen of the PG Soft titles in this record carry a second figure beside the advertised cap, and the two are never reconciled on the page they come from. 100,000×◦ is the advertised ceiling for Leprechaun Riches, footnoted on the studio's own sheet as an Advertised Value. The same game information sheet states a separate number, a Max Exposure figure drawn from a simulation of one billion spins, at roughly a tenth of the advertised cap.
80,000×◦ follows the same pattern. The advertised cap sits at 80,000x. The sheet's own billion-spin simulation states a Max Exposure of 7,106x, under a tenth of the printed headline figure. PG Soft's sheet does not say which of the two numbers a player should expect to see reflected in an actual result, or why a billion simulated spins landed so far under the number printed at the top of the page.
A Max Exposure figure is not a probability. It is an observed result from one very large simulation run, not a stated likelihood, and treating the two as interchangeable would be the wrong reading of either. It does say something usable: PG Soft's own maths, run at scale, rarely comes anywhere near the number the headline advertises.
50,000×◦ and 100,000×◦ are both Relax Gaming titles, capped at 50,000x and 100,000x. Neither the studio's own product page nor any other source this record has read states a probability or a second simulated figure for either game. Nothing else is printed.
That is a third posture, not automatically a worse one. Forty four of the sixty five capped titles in this record, Money Train 2 and Money Train 3 among them, give a reader exactly this: a ceiling, sourced, and nothing more. The gap that leaves is not particular to Relax Gaming. It is simply stated plainly here rather than left for a reader to notice on their own.
The strongest objection to treating Nolimit City's disclosure as simply the better practice is that a figure like one in 18,000,000 describes one tested configuration, not necessarily the build a specific licensed operator has deployed. The stored record for Mental carries that probability at configuration grain, tied to the title as Nolimit City tested it, not to any one operator's live instance. Confirming which operator serves which build is a separate question, and this record does not claim to answer it here.
That caution does not erase the gap between two titles and sixty three. A studio-sourced probability, even one tied to a single tested configuration, is a number a reader can check against a primary source. A cap printed with no odds beside it gives nothing to check at all.
Two of eighty is not a verdict on Nolimit City, PG Soft or Relax Gaming individually. It is a count, current as of this record's last check, and counts move. [[casino brands whose licences we have checked]](/casinos) is one place to see which operators actually list any of the six titles named here, which is a separate question from whether the cap on any of them is a number a player will ever see.
If a fourth studio starts printing odds next to its own cap, or PG Soft reconciles its two figures, this record updates. The count changes with it.
Not on its own. A max win figure is the ceiling of the model, and volatility describes how the wins in between are distributed, which is a separate stored figure. Neither Nolimit City title compared here carries a stored volatility label in this record, so no connection between the two is drawn for Mental or Fire in the Hole xBomb.
It means the studio's own model puts the odds of any single spin producing that exact ceiling at roughly one in eighteen million. It says nothing about the specific spin a player is about to make, only the long run frequency the model is built to produce. The overwhelming majority of spins on that title land nowhere near it.
The same game information sheet states an advertised cap and, separately, a Max Exposure figure drawn from a one billion spin simulation. On nineteen titles in this record the two numbers do not match, and PG Soft's own sheet does not explain the gap between them.
Not necessarily. Sixty three of the sixty five capped titles in this record carry no published probability, and stating only the cap is the position most studios in this record take, not a signal specific to any one of them. What it does mean is that a reader cannot compare how reachable two unpublished caps actually are.
On its own, no. It states the top of the model, not the odds of getting there or how the wins in between are shaped. A probability beside it, where one is published, is the more useful number, and this record currently has that for two titles out of eighty.
Not a bibliography — these are the addresses behind the numbers this site stores about the 7 records this piece is about, with the date we read each one. Anything the article argues from that we have not stored as a figure is not in this list, and we would rather say that than pad it.
Nothing on this page has been corrected since it was published on 2026-09-16. When something is, it is listed here with the date and what changed — not quietly edited. How we handle a correction.
Two titles on this site are licensed to use the word Megaways. Seventeen more use a similar ways-payout structure and are not. Big Time Gaming explains the difference on its own site, and the seventeen are not hiding it.
PG Soft confirms 96.95 percent on Mahjong Ways 2 and 96.92 percent on the original. Neither page states a ways count, a payline total, or a volatility label.
PAGCOR-licensed casinos rarely lock only the bonus a player claims. The wagering requirement usually covers the whole balance, deposit included, until the combined total clears the multiple.
Pragmatic Play states one RTP for Gates of Olympus and its sequel, 96.50 percent on both game pages, but the sequel's stated 15,000x maximum win lives only in a 2023 launch article, not on either spec page.
