Overview
By Sophie Lang, Games & Mobile Editor. Catalog RTP last refreshed 24 August 2026 — not a live lobby scrape. Confirm the cash info panel after login.
Spark of Genius is Play'n GO’s spark: 5,000× class, prefer ~96.20% after CAD login. It is not Reactoonz’s cluster meters at 4,570× / ~96.51% and not Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead’s Wilde sequel at 5,000× / ~96.21%.
Lobby search stacks Reactoonz, Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead, and Sparky & Shortz beside it. Open the cash title that reads Spark of Genius, then read the panel — 94.20% and 91.20% Play'n GO builds still ship.
Confirm the live contribution table. Some tables still cap max bet. Confirm before you opt in.
