32 titles built around a free spins round
FREE SPINS SLOTS, RANKED BY RETURN
Thirty two titles here put most of their money in one round. The base game is a toll you pay to reach it, which is a design decision rather than an accident, and it shapes every session you will have with them.
C$24 is what the median build gap costs across C$1,000 of turnover in this group. The widest belongs to Assassin Moon at 4.63 points, worth C$46 on the same figure. The paytable inside the game states which configuration you were handed, and it is the only source we will quote. All 123 split-build titles.

Where the payout mass sits
In a modern free spins slot, somewhere between 40% and 70% of the total return is paid inside the bonus round. That means the base game is deliberately built to return less than the headline number, and the headline only balances if you reach the bonus at the expected frequency.
Short sessions therefore run worse than the printed RTP more often than not. That is not a fault in the game. It is the definition of variance, and it is why the buy button exists.
Retriggers and modifiers
The good ones let the round extend itself. Dead or Alive 2 has a mode that never ends while sticky wilds keep landing, which is where its 111,111x cap comes from. Book of Dead draws one expanding symbol at the start and the entire round is decided by that draw.
Both are honest designs with a single licensed build. Eight of the 32 titles here are not so simple.
