Lucky Wagon Spins have no retrigger in the usual sense: the feature opens with 3 spins and every coin that lands puts the counter back to 3. The percentage shown is the part of the 50 bought features that outlasted the shortest one, 6 spins, which 49 did. Natural features ran from 6 to 34 spins, 13.4 on average, and the 34-spin wagon at round 1160 paid only 16x the stake.

How it plays
16 rules screens from the game
Fire in the Hole xBomb is a six-reel mine that opens every spin with three active rows and 64 ways; each collapse activates one more row, up to six rows and 46,656 ways. Wins run from the leftmost reel on adjacent reels, only the highest win per way is paid, and at a EUR 1 bet six lanterns, the top symbol, pay 7.50 per way.
A collapse follows a win, an xBomb Wild explosion when nothing paid, or Wild Mining. The xBomb Wild stands in for everything except Bonus symbols; when it explodes it clears the neighbouring positions and raises the win multiplier by one for the next collapse. Wild Mining fires when three, four or five identical symbols line up horizontally without a win and leaves one, two or three Wilds in their middle positions.
Lucky Wagon Spins need at least three Bonus symbols: three open two rows of the coin area, four open three and five open four. The feature begins with 3 spins and goes back to 3 whenever a coin lands, while the top row reveals new enhancers every spin: coin values, multipliers, dynamite, a bag, a chest or the Dwarf, each acting when a coin lands underneath. Dynamite can blast blocked positions and wake the collect chests on the bottom row, and the round ends when the area is full or the spins run out.
The rules state 96.06% RTP for ordinary play and 96.07%, 96.20% and 96.96% for the Nolimit Bonus tickets at 60x, 157x and 500x the bet. Beer Time caps a round at 60,000x, simulated once per 23,000,000 rounds, and the client rates volatility 10.0 (Extreme); demo bets run from EUR 0.20 to EUR 50.

Verdict
Starting rows set the wagonTen thousand EUR 1 spins produced a 94.50% return, short of the declared 96.06%, and the approximate 95% CI spans 81.75% to 107.24%. Only 26.12% of spins paid anything, one in 3.83, and six dry runs lasted 20 spins or longer. All ten rounds of 100x or more held Lucky Wagon Spins; the biggest, round 8492, paid 199.25x, and setting it aside leaves the remaining 9,999 rounds at 92.51%.
Inside the base game the multiplier did the heavy lifting. Rounds in which xBomb explosions lifted it to x3 or higher were 11.83% of spins yet paid 68.3% of base-game money, rounds that blasted the mine open to six rows (6.55%) took 60.7%, and rounds with Wild Mining, 8.15% of spins, paid 50.2%. The largest hit without the feature stopped at 96.2x.
Lucky Wagon Spins arrived 62 times, one per 161.3 spins, and averaged 56.00x the stake with a 51.00x median; only 3 of them paid under 20x. What decided a wagon was its starting height: the 54 that opened with two rows averaged 48.74x, the 8 that opened with three averaged 105.00x. The 60x ticket buys the two-row start, and the 50 bought features averaged 50.38x the stake, 0.84x of their price, with 37 of them returning less than they cost.
- Rounds that pushed the xBomb multiplier to x3 or more paid 68.3% of base-game money.
- Lucky Wagon Spins came once per 161.3 spins, and only 3 of 62 paid under 20x the stake.
- The eight wagons that opened with three rows averaged 105.00x the stake.
- Rounds with Wild Mining were 8.15% of spins and paid 50.2% of the base game's winnings.
- The 60x ticket returned 0.84x of its price on average, and 37 of 50 came back short.
- Spins paid only 26.12% of the time, and the base game alone never went past 96.2x.
- At its worst the balance fell 985.9 bets, emptying a 100-bet bankroll by spin 385.
- One stretch of 962 spins passed between rounds 4773 and 5736 without a wagon.
