Extra spins here are not a second trigger. Finishing a set of five symbols in the free spins meter adds two spins to the opening eight and moves the multiplier up a step; that happened at least once in 36 of the 47 natural bonuses, at least twice in 18 and three times in one.

Stakes multiplied by this interval measure gross wagering, not the net cost of obtaining a bonus. Purchase returns above include the complete purchased round and are divided by the ticket price.

How it plays
7 rules screens from the game
The machine has three reels with three positions each. A symbol wins when it is present on all three reels, whatever the rows, which gives 27 pay ways. Per way, a full set of Stars is worth 5x the bet, of Sevens 2.5x and of BARs 2x, with 1.5x for Bells and 1x for Horseshoes; the Star alone also pays 1x on the first two reels. A Diamond Wild stands in for any other symbol, the BONUS letters included, and after a win the Avalanche feature takes the winning symbols away, lets others come down from above and repeats while new wins form.
Round tokens spelling B-O-N-U-S share the reels with the paying symbols. A letter that forms a combination lights its lamp in the bonus meter below the reel window and is removed for the remainder of the round, the way a winning symbol is. Five lamps lit inside one round award 8 free spins, and the lamps go dark again before the next spin.
In the Bonus Game the meter shows the five paying symbols instead, each lighting when it takes part in a win. A complete set raises the bet multiplier one step along x1, x3, x9 and x27, adds 2 free spins and clears the meter for another set. The new step applies at once, so later wins of the same avalanche are already paid at the higher multiplier.
Pressing BUY FEATURE costs 120 bets, EUR 120 at the EUR 1.00 stake of this test, and starts the Bonus Game directly, with a theoretical return of 96.42% on that route and 96.12% on ordinary spins. Stakes available in the demo range between EUR 0.10 and EUR 100, and the sign above the reels promises wins of up to 5000x.

Verdict
x27 arrived mid-avalanche, twice
The x27 step lit twice in the test, once among 47 natural bonuses and once among 50 purchases, and both times it arrived in the middle of an avalanche. In round 5298 the eighth free spin began at x3, completed two symbol sets within its chain of wins and paid EUR 963.00: EUR 36.00 at x3, EUR 184.50 at x9 and EUR 742.50 at x27, the last screen alone giving EUR 405.00 for six ways of Sevens. The round closed at 1,061x, the top result among the 10,000 ordinary rounds.
The six spins left in round 5298 all started on x27 and none of them paid. Ticket 15, the bought bonus that got there, returned EUR 735.50 and had two such spins, one of which paid EUR 27.00 for a single way of Horseshoes. Across both bonuses that makes eight spins begun on the top step and one win.
Eleven natural bonuses stopped on x1 and brought EUR 417.50 between them, 6.4% of natural bonus income with trigger spins included, while the 18 that reached x9 or x27 brought 70.2%. Ordinary rounds without free spins returned EUR 3,439.00 of the EUR 10,000 staked, so the measured 99.85% rested on 47 bonuses and on one in particular: without round 5298 the other 9,999 rounds returned 89.24%.
- A natural bonus that stopped on x9, round 4631, still paid 373x
- Reaching x9 was worth at least 100x for the whole round in every natural bonus that got there
- Paying free spins made up 37.0% of the natural ones, 180 of 486
- Purchases as a group came back above cost, EUR 6,812.50 on EUR 6,000 of tickets
- Bought bonuses that never left x1, 15 of the 50, returned no more than EUR 56.50 of the EUR 120 price
- Four of the five letters lit without a bonus in 95 base rounds, 39 of them short of the B
- Two EUR 120 tickets returned EUR 0.00, and 22 of the 50 returned less than EUR 60
- A base hit is rare, with 6.73% of ordinary rounds paying, one in 14.86

FAQ
4 questions · answered from the log
Did any Triple Christmas Gold bonus get all the way to x27 in testing?
Yes, two did: 1 of 47 natural bonuses and 1 of 50 bought ones. Both needed three completed symbol sets, which also stretched the bonus from 8 to 14 free spins. Triple Royal Gold, which has the same pay table and declared RTP, never went past x9 in the 43 natural and 50 bought bonuses of its own test.
Is Triple Christmas Gold's real RTP 99.85% or the listed 96.12%?
The listed 96.12% is the game's theoretical figure, and 99.85% is what a single run of 10,000 demo rounds returned. The approximate 95% interval around that measurement runs from 71.1% to 128.59%, wide enough to hold both. Natural bonuses supplied 65.56% of everything the ordinary series paid, trigger spins included, and there were only 47 of them.
Which costs less in Triple Christmas Gold, buying the bonus for 120x or waiting for the five letters?
Five letters came once per 212.8 rounds, EUR 212.77 of turnover at a EUR 1.00 bet rather than a net cost, and the whole round then had a median of 93.5x. A EUR 120 ticket had a median of EUR 92.00, 0.767x its price, and 28 of the 50 finished below the price.
Are the 8 free spins of a Triple Christmas Gold bonus ever extended?
Yes. It gains 2 spins whenever the five-symbol meter is completed. Among 47 natural bonuses, 11 stayed at 8 spins, 18 played 10, 17 played 12 and 1 played 14, and 15 of the 47 ran out with four of the five symbols already lit.
