Bonus Buy Slots Explained

Casino game guidesBonus buy

Bonus buy slots let you pay to trigger a feature instantly instead of waiting for it. This guide explains them. Costs and details are in each game.

Key takeaways
  • A bonus buy (feature buy) slot lets you pay a set price to trigger a bonus feature immediately, instead of waiting for it to trigger at random.
  • Usually a multiple of your stake, reflecting that the feature is where the biggest wins tend to happen — though there is no guarantee it pays more than it costs.
  • They skip the wait but commit a large stake up front that can lose quickly, and they do not change the underlying odds.

What bonus buy is

Many slots have a bonus feature, like free spins, that normally triggers at random. A bonus buy lets you pay a set price to start that feature immediately. See slot features.

How the cost works

The buy price is usually a multiple of your stake.

Example. A feature buy might cost many times the base stake, reflecting that the feature is where the biggest wins tend to happen — but there is no guarantee it pays more than it costs.

The trade-off

Buying skips the wait but commits a larger stake up front, which can lose quickly. It changes the pace and risk, not the underlying odds.

Play with care

Because each buy is a large stake, a budget matters even more. Note that bonus buys are restricted in some regions. See volatility and responsible gambling tools.
