I have done a bit of free play testing. As the game is available in debug mode (via the link Dunover provided on the first page of this thread) i have used their built in "gaff tool" (hit F9 to access it) which lets you activate features instantly, making testing a lot faster especially when you speed the game up.
I don't like games that start you off with lower RTP and then force you to unlock the higher RTP settings(hopefully this isn't a new trend...). Unlocking features like in IR, TS2 etc. is tolerable but annoying.
This however is much worse, i don't understand why the regulators even allow this. You start with an RTP as low as 92.89%
, after unlocking everything you get a slot with 96.50% RTP.
As you will have to unlock this at every casino you play the game at, you can be sure the only reason that IGT have chosen to make this BS unlock system is to squeeze out that extra bit of profit. And if IGT's system is as unreliable as MG's you will probably have to unlock it again every six months or so
Ok, since you have to play awhile to unlock the full game i have done additional testing. I have done Three series of 100 features. Usually you will trigger the feature with 3 followers which give you 3 picks. So the middle chart will likely be representative for most sessions.

Using their "gaff tool" i wanted to see the difference between 3 picks and 5 picks, as the 5 scatter trigger pay 50x bet i have removed the scatter wins to compare the effect of the extra picks.
It is possible to get 7 picks(5 scatters with the 3 follower bonus symbol on the last reel), their tool let's you trigger this one as well but it doesn't play randomly like the others, it's more of a demo thing so i can't use it for anything, it's probably extremely rare anyway so it really doesn't matter. I have not evaluated the base game.
This slot definitely has some potential for big wins, but it's sure to be very frustrating as the wins are highly dependent on how many followers(bonus picks) you trigger the feature with, and what your picks get you.
It would be a much better game without the unlock BS.
I won't be playing this one as IGT blocks a lot of countries including Norway.
In order to not make this post unreadable i will link images of the spreadsheets instead of inserting them directly in the post.
