natural trigger · 67 in 10,000 spinsA natural 19-spin bonus at a EUR 1.00 stake climbs the meter from x1 to x3, then a Big Win counter settles on 39.80 in the base game. Recorded in a separate browser session, outside the statistical samples.
Across the whole run the 67 natural bonuses split into 25 under 20x, 20 between 20x and 50x, 11 between 50x and 100x and 11 at 100x or more, and together they made up 40% of everything the game returned. The wait between two triggers ran from 1 to 722 spins. Payout figures here are FS-only, in ordinary stakes; the trigger payout is excluded.
Each step of the multiplier meter adds two free spins, so most features grew past their starting award. Starts of 15, 20 or 25 spins depend on three, four or five Bonus rockets; the 67 natural features ran 22.1 spins on average and the longest reached 32.

How it plays
13 rules screens from the gameTicket to the Stars has 25 lines on a five-by-three grid, each paying from the leftmost reel, and the test staked EUR 1.00 a spin. At that stake the captain and the Wild pay 20.00 for five, the stewardess 16.00, the robot 12.00, the champagne 8.00 and the green backpack 6.00, while the five gems pay 4.00 or 3.00.
Swooping Reels run in both modes: symbols from a line win vanish, new ones fall from above, any fresh win is added, and the chain stops when nothing new lines up.
A bonus opens with three Bonus rockets for 15 free spins, and a fourth or fifth rocket raises the start to 20 or 25. During them a meter on the left climbs by one after every third win and brings two extra spins each time it moves; whatever value it shows multiplies each win of the bonus, and the meter has no top. The game sells no feature purchase. The rules list 96.52%, stakes from 0.25 to 100, and a cap of 9,714.2 times the stake.

Verdict
Bonuses that fed themselvesLength and multiplier came together in this bonus, because every step of the meter also adds two spins. The 13 natural features that ran 27 spins or more averaged 126.88x the stake and brought in 40.2% of free spins money, while the eight that stopped at 15 or 17 spins averaged 11.38x.
The meter's upper steps were short but heavy. Of 1,481 free spins, 270 were played at x5 or higher and paid 32.2% of the bonus money; 823 spins at x2 to x4 paid 52.1%, and the 388 at x1 only 15.7%. At its best the meter looked like round 5787: 29 spins, and the 24th, played at x6, paid EUR 352.20, 80.0% of a 440x bonus.
Length is still not everything: round 496 paid 424.6x from only 21 spins, while the median feature of the 67 stopped at 31.0x.
Outside the bonus the tumbling reels kept the balance alive, returning 62.65% of the stake by themselves. Rounds with two or three winning tumbles, 628 of them, gave 43.4% of that base-game money, and round 2668 paid 125.2x, the best of the test without free spins.
- Thirteen bonuses of 27 spins or longer averaged 126.88x
- A single spin at x6 in round 5787 paid EUR 352.20 of a 440x bonus
- A bankroll of 200 stakes lasted through all 10,000 rounds
- Eight bonuses that stopped at 15 or 17 spins averaged 11.38x
- Thirty bonuses of 19 to 21 spins averaged 38.18x
- The 388 free spins played at x1 brought in only 15.7% of bonus money
