Bonus Buy
Bonus Buy is a feature in slot games that lets you pay a fixed amount to get access to the bonus round instantly - without waiting for it to trigger during the game. These bonus rounds often include free spins or special features.
How It Works
Usually, to activate a bonus round, you need to land a certain number of Scatter or Bonus symbols. With Bonus Buy, you skip this and simply buy the bonus round instead.
You click the "Buy Bonus" button, see the price and what kind of bonus you’ll get. Once you confirm the purchase, the bonus round starts right away.
The cost depends on the game, your current bet size, and the type of bonus round.
Why Use Bonus Buy?
Pros:
Instant access to the bonus round
Chance to win big if the bonus pays well
Unlocks extra features that can make the gameplay more interesting
Cons:
You need to have enough real money in your balance to buy it
No guarantee you'll win more than you paid
Avoid it if:
You’re new to the game or don’t understand its volatility
You’re playing with a limited budget
You want the full experience, including the buildup to the bonus
Tips for Using Bonus Buy
Try in demo mode first — test if the bonus is worth buying
Start with small bets — $0.20 bets mean cheaper Bonus Buy
Set a limit — don’t keep buying endlessly
Watch volatility — high volatility can mean long losing streaks
Check for restrictions — not all regions or casinos allow Bonus Buy. (Some countries (like the UK) ban Bonus Buy features due to gambling regulations. Game providers might disable this option based on your region. Always check your local rules and the casino’s terms.)
Bonus Buy gives you instant access to bonus rounds in slot games. It’s fast and exciting — but also risky and expensive. Use it only if you understand the game and know your limits. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not — just don’t let the thrill replace your strategy.
