If you think of it, buying free spins is just like making higher bets. Once I won $200 with a $0.20 regular spin on a slot, and if I was betting with $20 at that moment, my profit would be $20k, right? Now, if I'd buy a bonus round for $20 back then and won $20k I would be confident that only buying free spins can provide you with such a win. This is what happens with some gamblers, and they spread the word and other people repeat after them.
I'm a bit confused by your point. Buying a buy bonus does not increase the bet, it only speeds up entering bonus mode, but must pay 100x the base bet. So, we pay that $20 is actually same as $0.2 per spin with 100 spins (without any win). so the matter of winning doesn't change, if from base bet $0.2 the rules if we get maxwin is $200, by buying bonus mode it will still be $200 not change to $20K.
Am I misunderstood what you mean?I'm sorry that I wrote my post the way it could cause confusion. In short, what I meant was that bet is bet, regardless of what you are betting on. So, if you buy a round of free spins for $20, you are basically betting $20 hoping to win more money. Now, in the case when I won $200 with a $0.20 regular spin, I won 1,000x of my bet. It's an equivalent of $20k won from a $20 bet. And if I bought a bonus round for $20 and won $20k from that, I would be sure that only a bonus round can give such a win, while in fact I could just bet $20 without buying a bonus round and win the same $20k.
Correct me, guys, if I'm wrong here, but I think buying free spins isn't increasing your chance of hitting a jackpot. You have the same odds of hitting it with your regular spins, no?
Depends on what games you are playing because there are some games where i
t is impossible to hit big multiplier in normal spins such as Sweet Bonanza and its family members.I didn't know that about Sweet Bonanza. I've been always wondering why I don't hit high multipliers on this slot with my regular spins. Now I know why! Thank you, @panjul07!
If you play such game, buying bonus is exactly increase your chance to win big than playing normal spins.
Buying bonus is simply an instant way to enter the bonus round, while playing normal spins may not give you guarantee entering the bonus round although you spend the same amount as the bonus buy cost.
By the way, I have just hit a close to max win in Gates of Heaven, anyone can watch the replay here
https://replay.pragmaticplay.net/wHLqWogZrA I was so confidence that it would hit max win because of the 500x and 250x wild multiplier, but it was not coming true as it stopped at x4575.
Not a huge win as it was with IDR 1,000 base bet only which gave me a win of IDR 4.5M or
around $300.
Congrats! That's amazing, bro! What a win that is!

How can you buy something that is free though?.~
Technically, you are right. But it's just called like that.
,I know compared to x40000 the x3000 feels little but I have quit slots almost 1 month and more now and the reason was simple,every time I played a slot the worse of the worse type of luck kept hitting me,losing everything despite playing for a lot of time and as such I thought to myself I had enough of this shit and stopped playing.My best ever decision although when I see you guys here posting your big wins I must accept that I am super envious of you guys
