I have had a quick look, and the slot will quite happily launch even if not logged in. Although it states that it is in "free play mode", and the credits are marked as "demo credits", there is no in-your-face warning that you have launched demo mode.
It starts on 2000 demo credits, and then plays just as it would in real money play.
However, I then hit a problem. The slot could not be closed, clicking on the "x" was repeatedly ignored, and then the whole browser locked up. It took Task manager to forcibly close things down.
It is possible that this problem IS a software issue, but one related to the browser.
If there is no record, it is possible that this was not simply free mode, but the demo mode that can be played without logging in. This of course would leave no transaction record anywhere, since there would be no customer account to tag it to.
The OP lost connection, and then had to log in again. The odd thing here is that they were able to carry on where they left off, which was playing out the bonus round. This does not make sense if they were playing for real, but got interrupted such that they left the game at the start of the bonus round. If they accidentally went to demo mode upon returning, the slot would be in demo mode, and the bonus round would not be there.
If by coincidence they hit the same bonus round in their first spin after returning, but accidentally in demo mode, the train of events could be explained by the player having accidentally entered demo mode to win the 5K. However, upon their return the real mode, their real mode bonus round should still be there. If it is, then case solved. If not, then there is another issue on top of that already described, one where demo and real play can intermingle. This could be a problem if the bug works in reverse, such as getting the bonus round in free play, and then being able to access it in real money mode, effectively how the Chief's Fortune fiasco worked, but only once on a newly registered account.
Someone with a Maxino account could check this possibilty out.
If the OP took a screenshot of their 5K win, this would settle once and for all the argument as to whether this was free/demo mode or real money mode.
