Reading the difference

Some dimensions are excluded because one studio does not publish that figure.

Both titles are built on the same format family: Cascading reels. Differences between them therefore come from tuning, not from structure.
They come from different studios — Pragmatic Play and Microgaming — which is what makes the comparison useful: the same problem, two house styles.
Published RTP: 96.50% against 95.91% — Starlight Wins is 0.59 points higher. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a session forecast.
Win caps differ by about 2.0×: 100,000× against 50,000×, with Starlight Wins higher. A cap is a rulebook ceiling, not an expectation.
Volatility labels differ: High against Very high. The label describes how widely outcomes scatter, not whether one game is better.

Different format families: Starlight Wins is Cascading reels, Starburst™ XXXtreme is Fixed paylines. Read each screen with its own rule set.
