REC · NATURAL TRIGGER

Natural bonus on media spin 992: seven re-spins, tickets on the left, 54.00 (tab capture, with sound). Recorded in a separate browser session, outside the statistical samples.

Across the whole run the 25 natural bonuses split into 1 under 20x, 9 between 20x and 50x, 7 between 50x and 100x and 8 at 100x or more, and together they made up 27% of everything the game returned. The wait between two triggers ran from 7 to 2,211 spins. Payout figures here cover the complete bonus, in ordinary stakes.

A new symbol puts the counter back to three re-spins within the same round, and tickets move the reels without adding spins; the share counts rounds that outlived their opening three re-spins, not separate bonuses.

RULES · FROM THE GAME

screen 01 / 26 Money Train 5 rules, page 1

The grid of Money Train 5 is 5x4 with 40 fixed lines paying leftmost-first. With FUN 2.00 staked per spin in this run, the red-eyed outlaw pays 40.00 for five and 1.60 for three, the armoured raider 20.00, the sombrero skeleton 18.00 and the blonde gunslinger 16.00, while the spade, heart, club and diamond pay 10.00, 8.00, 7.00 and 6.00 for five and 0.40 for three. The gas-mask Wild pays like the outlaw and replaces everything except the bonus symbol. Crosshairs can lock onto up to five reels on a spin and plant Nuclear Bombs; a bomb that becomes part of a winning combination detonates and turns its whole reel Wild before the lines are paid.

Any three bonus symbols, anywhere on the grid, open the free spins: the trigger symbols reveal 1x to 10x the bet, the train stands at station 0, and three re-spins are given, reset to three whenever a new symbol lands. Tickets marked +1 to +5 push the reels that many steps to the left; each reel that leaves the screen moves the train one station and pays its total, and the stations unlock the round as it goes: Persistent symbols from station 5, an extra row from station 10, the Bomber and the Pyromancer from station 15, the Permanent Payer at station 20. Beside plain bonus values the reels can bring a Payer, a Collector, a Collector Payer, a Sniper that doubles three to eight values, an Absorber, an Arms Dealer that converts one to four values into feature symbols, a Necromancer, a Ticket Master that adds the total win to every symbol, and, once unlocked, a Bomber that multiplies the board by 2x to 5x and a Pyromancer that burns a hot zone where values double. A Ticket Master on the trigger starts the Super Free Spins at station 15.

The standard mode caps a round at 50,000x the bet and the Ultra mode at 100,000x. The SuperCharge menu of the real game holds the bonus purchase, the Bonus Reels modes and the Enhanced Spin, but the FUN demo answers it with a connection error, so this log is ordinary standard-mode spins only. The rules print 96.10% RTP and demo bets span FUN 0.10 to FUN 20.

Verdict

Bombs paid, the train did not

At FUN 2.00 the 10,000 demo spins returned 99.12% of stake against the printed 96.10%, with a 95% range of roughly 76.6% to 121.6%, and closed 88 bets down; along the way the balance sat 853 bets under the start and lost 1,473 bets from its best point by round 4573. Spins paid 19.43% of the time, 8,057 of them returned nothing, and no dry stretch ran past 28 spins.

Base play carried 72.9% of everything the series paid, and more than half of that came from one mechanic. A Nuclear Bomb landed on the first drop in 386 rounds, 3.9% of the series, and every one of them detonated into at least one full Wild reel; those 386 rounds paid FUN 8,365, or 57.9% of all base payouts. One expanded reel was worth 3.1 bets on average, two 17.6 and three or more 109.8, and round 5922, three bombs on reels one to three, paid FUN 1,169 or 584.5 bets, the largest round of the whole run. Ordinary rounds without a detonation never passed 119 bets.

The bonus was a different story. It came 25 times, once per 400 spins, with a 2,210-spin gap between rounds 195 and 2406, and it paid 107.6 bets on average, 61 at the median, with 13 bets at the bottom and 399 at the top; not one of the 25 gave back the 400 bets it costs to reach on average, and the best of them, round 55, missed by a single bet. The feature made 27.1% of all payouts, and without round 55 the other 9,999 spins returned 95.14%. Rounds ran 9.6 re-spins on average, tickets moved the reels in 23 of the 25, and yet only two rounds, 55 and 7980, reached station 10 and the extra row; no train reached station 15, so the Bomber and the Pyromancer never appeared.

Round 55 shows what a long trip looks like: 25 re-spins, 11 tickets, eight reel moves, the fifth row open, and a total that crept from FUN 6 to 14 to 40 before a Collector closed it at FUN 798. Round 7980 was the short version: a Ticket Master and two Collector Payers, 17 tickets in seven re-spins, and a total of 66 that turned into 732 on the closing spin. The six rounds with three or more special symbols averaged 188.2 bets, the two with none 47.5.

FAQ

5 questions · answered from the log

Money Train 5 RTP: what did the demo measure against 96.10%?

Lab answer

99.12% of stake, 10,000 spins staked at FUN 2.00 apiece, with a rough 95% range of 76.6% to 121.6% and the balance 88 bets down at the close. Round 55, the best bonus at 399 bets, is the largest single entry; without it the remaining 9,999 spins returned 95.14%.

Do the bonus rounds pay for the wait?

Lab answer

Not on this log. Twenty-five rounds arrived in 10,000 spins, one per 400, and the average round paid 107.6 bets, the median 61; every one of the 25 stayed below 400 bets, and the best, round 55 at 399, fell one bet short of the average wait.

Nuclear Wilds: how big a part of the base game are they?

Lab answer

The larger part: 386 rounds began with a bomb on the reels, each of them detonated into at least one full Wild reel, and together they paid FUN 8,365, 57.9% of all base-game payouts. Three or more Wild reels averaged 109.8 bets, and round 5922 paid 584.5 bets from three of them.

Did the train reach the later stations?

Lab answer

Rarely. Tickets moved the reels in 23 of the 25 rounds and 4.9 tickets were collected per round on average, but only rounds 55 and 7980 reached station 10 and opened the extra row. No round got to station 15, so the Bomber, the Pyromancer and the Permanent Payer at station 20 stayed locked.

Why are there no purchase results?

Lab answer

The SuperCharge menu of the demo, where the bonus buy at 100x, the Ultra Bonus Reels at 25x, the Bonus Reels at 10x and the Enhanced Spin live, returns a connection error in FUN mode, and the demo server lists no purchase. This log is therefore 10,000 ordinary spins in the standard mode only.
