25 Cookies: Hit the Bonus, the quick rundown
25 Cookies: Hit the Bonus is a festive Playson pokie with three listed features and a 95.7% RTP. Here's what they mean, and how it fits with Here2Win Casino, before you decide.
It's a high-volatility Christmas pokie from Playson with an RTP of 95.7%, a touch under the 96% median of the pokies on this guide. An in-game jackpot, bonus rounds and a bonus buy are all listed. I'd call it a pick for players who like a holiday theme and can live with big swings. The bonus buy costs more per go than a normal spin, so set the budget first.
A Christmas and winter look, with a way in through Here2Win Casino
The styling is all holiday season: Christmas and winter are the two themes on the pokie. The wintry artwork is only a design choice, so it suits a hot Australian December as well as a cold July.
Here2Win Casino is where the account and the welcome package live. The button on this page takes you to the casino itself, not straight to this pokie. If you'd rather use your phone, the Mobile App page covers the platforms the brand lists and how phone login works.
The three listed features, in plain words
Each one gets a single line here. That is all you need before deciding whether the pokie suits you.
RTP and volatility: what 95.7% and "high" mean
RTP is the long-run average return: about US$95.70 for every US$100 wagered across a very large number of spins. One session can land far from that. At 95.7%, this pokie sits a little below the 96% median here. The pokies on this guide range from 94.73% to 96.82%.
High volatility describes spread. You can see long quiet patches and occasional bigger swings, and neither is a promise of anything. The Pokies Starter Guide lays out low, medium and high on one scale, so you can compare this pick with calmer ones.

Budgeting a session, especially with the bonus buy
Decide the session total before you open the pokie, and split it so that one bonus buy can't swallow the lot. Buying a feature raises the cost of each go, and a high-volatility pokie can run dry for a while. It is not a shortcut to a win, and nothing is guaranteed.
I'd treat this one as a festive pick for a set amount of entertainment money. If it suits you, good; if a session isn't fun, stop. Gambling is for adults. If it stops feeling like a game, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.
Want a different flavour of bonus buy? Gates of Olympus goes myth-and-gems with a 96.5% RTP, and Benji Killed In Vegas goes crime-and-gold at 96.04%. Both list bonus rounds and a bonus buy, so the same budgeting rule applies. The whole lane is compared in Here2Win Casino best games.
