First ₱500,000 VIP session on Hacksaw Gaming's Hand of Anubis II told the CHWV bench what the sequel inherits and what it changes. The ceiling moves from 22,500× to 30,000×. The Soul-Orb tier ladder grows by one. And the variance shape stretches further left, with deeper dry runs between bonus drops.
The bench logged 4,800 paid spins on a ₱120 base, observed 96.21%, sample window April 19 to April 28. Provider-stated RTP sits at 96.49%; the −0.28pp delta lands inside the registry's ±0.40 tolerance for that sample band.

Why Hand of Anubis II earned the VIP slot
The CHWV ₱500k desk needs three things from a Hacksaw addition: a sequel mechanic that respects the variance shape of the original, a ceiling lift that justifies the bankroll exposure, and a free-spin frame that pays in proper VIP-scale bursts when it lands. Hand of Anubis II hits all three. Soul-Orb tier 3 is the headline change — at the ₱500k roll, tier 3 events drive the session-defining frame.
Soul-Orb tier 3 frequency read
- Bonus trigger p50: 241 spins
- Bonus trigger p95: 718 spins
- Soul-Orb tier 1 (entry): 13 of 20 bonuses
- Soul-Orb tier 2: 5 of 20 bonuses
- Soul-Orb tier 3 (top): 2 of 20 bonuses
- Top observed exit: 891× base bet on a single tier-3 frame
- Bottom observed bonus exit: 8× base bet (variance tail)
VIP bench notes
Tap-to-spin holds at 0.6s on the CHWV mobile app on Filipino 4G. The cashier accepted the GCash withdrawal at 11 minutes median across two test cash-outs. The Soul-Orb visual response stacks cleanly without render hitches on the lower-tier Android handsets the desk's PH players keep on the room rotation.
What the map will not do
Hand of Anubis II does not pay like its 100,000× cousins in long base-game droughts. The bench logs 3 windows in this April pool where 380+ base spins printed under 7× total — the bonus pool corrects, but only when it lands. This is a VIP-scale title for players who can absorb the variance, not a warm-up rotation.
Verdict
For the CHWV ₱500k desk, Hand of Anubis II earns its slot above warm-up Hacksaw titles and beside the 30k-ceiling regulars. The Soul-Orb tier-3 economics deliver the kind of VIP-scale frame the bench wants on a long Manila evening, while the 30,000× ceiling stays inside what a ₱500k roll can absorb. The desk keeps it on the active list through May.
