How Fire In The Hole xBomb plays
Every spin opens with three active rows and each collapse unlocks another, up to six. xBomb Wilds substitute, blow up neighbouring symbols and add one to the win multiplier for the next collapse, and Wild Mining adds wilds when three to five matching symbols line up horizontally without a win. Three to five bonus symbols trigger Lucky Wagon Spins, a coin-collecting round that resets to three spins whenever a coin lands, with enhancers revealed on the top row.
Theme: Underground gold mine, dwarf miner. Filed under Mining and explosives.

What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.06% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.94%, so every £100 staked costs £3.94 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.88, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as Extreme (10). That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
Published hit frequency is 25.98%, meaning roughly 26 spins in every 100 return something. Many of those returns are smaller than the stake.
