Scatters typically set free spins off, and those often run on modified mathematics like increased multipliers, extra wilds, or an expanded grid. This accounts for return being frequently packed into a free-spin round and not the base game, and for base spins feeling flat over long stretches on feature-heavy titles.
Using it in practice
Base spins that feel flat are often by design, not the result of a bad run. You should design a fair test differently if you know the title holds its return in a feature round.
Across this site’s game pages you will meet terms such as Free spins; if a studio keeps the figure behind one private, the page tells you that and leaves out any number borrowed from a comparison site. Blank cells turn up in more than one spec table on this page for exactly that reason.
A worked example
Imagine a game keeping much of its return in the feature round: it might pay very little over 100 spins in the base game, then return several hundred times the stake during 10 free spins. Nothing has malfunctioned in either half. Half of a title like this is only seen once the feature arrives, since the base game’s job is to get there.
The common misreading
Two things share one name here: a promotional free-spin award from an operator, and the free-spin round inside a game. Carrying the operator’s wagering terms, the first can usually not be withdrawn until they are met; the second, being part of the game, pays into the balance like any other win.
Not a bonus in the promotional sense, an in-game free-spin round has no wagering requirement and is outside an operator’s power to grant or withhold. The game’s own mathematics includes it, and the studio decides it.

Can a casino alter Free spins?
Not on this site's evidence. If a number behind free spins comes from the game's own mathematics, the studio owns it and not the operator, and when the studio leaves it unpublished, nothing outside can back it up.
