SLOT SESSION // 1,500 SPINS
At Yggdrasil Gaming's declared 97.1%, a run of 1,500 spins at this bet averages out around -35× stake, shown as the dashed line. This one ended at -336.5×, about 9.6× further down than the average run. One session swings hard either way; the gap is the swing, not the game's payout rate.
The driest stretch ran 33 spins without a single win, spins 817 to 849.
All 10 share one vertical scale, so their shapes are comparable. The deepest block lost -70.5× the stake, while 2 finished in profit, the best at +37.1×. These are consecutive blocks of one continuous session, not 10 separate sittings: the balance never reset. Block 1 was played through the game's own interface; the rest replayed the bet call directly. Same numbers either way; only the first can be photographed.
4 frames captured by the rig during the recorded session. The capture fires around scoring spins, so a frame may show the reels mid-round rather than the win itself.
Our review of Beauty and the Beast
I'm a casual player, and this Beauty and the Beast review comes from 1,500 spins of my own testing in October 2026. My verdict up front: skip it for real money. Across 10 sessions at a flat $2.00 bet, the slot returned 72.3% against a stated RTP of 97.10%, my best win was 49.5x, and only 20% of my sessions finished ahead.
The test was 10 separate sessions of about 150 spins each. Every session was a fresh launch in its own browser with its own play-money balance, so each one started clean, and the numbers below are the whole set added up.
That 72.3% is the combined result of the 10 sessions, not the game's payout rate. That rate only settles over tens of thousands of spins.
Yggdrasil Gaming lists the volatility as medium high, and the run showed the dry stretches and the drawdown that come with it. My longest stretch without any win at all ran 33 spins. The deepest hole was a 344x drawdown.
Wins landed on 18.9% of spins, so the screen wasn't silent, but nearly everything that hit was small. The best single result in 1,500 spins was 49.5x against an advertised max win of 400x, and not one win reached 100x. The dry spells fit the medium-high label; the big hit that label implies never turned up in this sample.
Pros:
Cons:
After this run, I can't name a player Beauty and the Beast suits for real money. The stated 97.10% RTP looks generous on paper, but my 1,500 spins brought back 72.3%. One run can't tell you a game's true rate; it can only show what one run feels like, and this one felt like a slow leak.
If you're still curious, the free play-money mode is the right place for it. Anyone betting cash needs to accept medium-high volatility in full: a bankroll deep enough to sit through a drawdown like the 344x I hit, with no promise the top end shows up in your sample either.
The 1/10 is simple math: 72.3% back, a best win of 49.5x, zero hits of 100x or more, and only 2 of 10 sessions in profit.

Beauty and the Beast is a February 2017 Yggdrasil Gaming slot built around fairy-tale romance and magical transformation. The fantasy theme here leans heavily on atmosphere.
The action unfolds on a fixed 5x3 grid. Synced Reels can link reels to show identical symbols, creating sudden blocks of matches. Random Wilds add unexpected substitutions. The Ante Bet mechanic lets players pay a premium to weight the odds toward feature entry, useful for those who prefer bonus rounds to base-game grinding.
Wilds substitute for regular icons, and Scatters count wherever they land.
Free Spins open a bonus round without further stakes. The Pick Bonus offers a selection-based detour from spinning—typically a choice among hidden prizes.
The 97.10% RTP sits comfortably above the ~96% industry average. Medium-high volatility translates to longer intervals between significant hits and the occasional bruising session. Bankroll discipline matters here. The 400x max win ceiling is modest, placing Beauty and the Beast in the low-potential category.
Fantasy, romance, and magic dominate the thematic blend. Expect a mood built on enchantment and tender romance.
Beauty and the Beast earns its 6/10 rating through solid mathematics and respectable feature variety, though the 400x ceiling caps its appeal for thrill-seekers. The above-average RTP and characterful synced reels mechanic keep sessions engaging, but medium-high volatility can bring long dry spells. Best suited for players who value RTP over a big ceiling.
