When we talk about these slots in general, we are referring to regular slot machines with certain payout mechanics, such as paylines or clusters, and a set of additional options. However, their main difference is the presence of a Bonus Buy option, which allows players to instantly enter the bonus game by paying a certain amount (x100 on average). This is true for both real money and demo funds as the feature can even be tested for free. Moreover, during the base game, you also have the option to trigger the bonus round naturally.
What is a buy feature?
Simply put, it’s a quick way to enter the slot’s standard bonus round for a certain pay. This way, you don’t have to wait for the necessary number of bonus symbols on the screen and can get free spins or other slot bonuses at any time. This option isn’t free and you pay x50 to x100 your bet on average, though some variations can be as expensive as x500 the bet.
“You can use this calculation to understand Bonus Buy slots and the feature cost. When the feature costs x100 the bet and you play at C$5 per spin, you’ll pay C$500 to enter the bonus round. This round is still played at C$5, so you need multipliers of at least x100 to compensate for this cost. Anything above this amount is what you earn.”
