Buying bonus features will not always give you a win because it is possible that buying bonus features 3-5 times will not give you a big win. After all, we could still lose.

I experienced buying 10+ buy bonus feature consecutively without winning huge win more than x2 of the original amount of bonus buy. This feature is not for a weak heart because it can eat your bankroll quickly if you have not enough money.

I've never had the experience of buying that many bonus features. The most I've ever bought is under 5 times and even then, I didn't win a big win. Only once got BEP, while the others even experienced losses. I agree with what you say that the bonus features will eat up our money quickly.

But even so, some gamblers still buy bonus features because they find comfort in playing slots by buying these bonus features.

It’s not that they find comfort using buy bonus by playing slot but rather it’s the shortcut on playing bonus game when they are playing slots. Buy bonus is created for those people that doesn’t have patience to manual spin and want a quick bonus game result since we are aiming for a bonus when we are manual spinning.

It’s not about comfort but rather time saver.

Besides that, they have money to buy the bonus features easily. You have even purchased the bonus feature 10 times despite not getting any big wins. And it shows that buying bonus features also does not guarantee us to get big wins. Sometimes, playing manually can give you a decent win, but yes, we have to be patient and the important thing is that we have enough money to play slots.

for a player (like me) who doesn't like playing slots game and rarely connects to casinos... I believe that this "bonus" option which allows faster play... has a positive impact! Cool

it makes the game less boring, faster, easier and maximizes potential winnings.
no I don't think it's a type of game that allows you to win more but in any case it's a game mode that I find somehow appealing.

A few years ago, slots appeared with the purchase of bonus games. Within a short period of time, almost every software has implemented this feature.
For me, the game of slot machines has changed a lot. The winnings in the regular bonus have become smaller, and the purchase of bonuses breaks the whole ideology of slot machines. By the way, the chances of a big win in purchased bonuses are much higher, but I do not like to buy them.
How do you feel about slots with purchasable bonuses? Would you like to do everything as it was before, without buying bonuses?

These sort of bonus and side games have been around for a long time, at least 20+ years and are nothing particularly new. It's part of habit building behavior by the casinos, chasing the little side games is what can keep someone hooked - if you're at 9 out of 10 on some special bonus bar, they might be able to squeeze another 20 minutes worth of cash out of your pocket while you chase the final randomized step, that is probably not worth the amount that you paid to unlock it. They can often reward bigger than the regular slot game and become an additional stage of the slot machine, maybe even allowing them to advertise bigger winnings that are very difficult to actually attain.

Am not the casino person to advice on this , but from the numerous videos I have watched on this bonus buys I would say it's a 50-50 thing which can be said to be the fastest way to lose money or the fastest way to make some good money depending on how lucky you are...

And truth be told, such game plays aren't for people with one game hand to play...you need to keep playing to give yourself a winning chance which is the unfortunate thing!

But all in all, you know what they day...of you don't play you can't win.

Well they won't make as good money as you would make by getting those by accident via real game. Too high risk / reward ratio imho. It's not like you often would make much more then you originally put in. I I am not sure bout exact data, but most likely you have higher changes betting dice with 33% change to win 3x your money back then winning 3x from those. Then again you wouldn't get those satifying blinking lights. But i am not certain if those are worth $100 or $400 per bet.

Maybe lesser chance. Like 20-80 in percentage. Bonus play sometimes doesn't give anything and that is why I am not a fan of this mode. I'd rather get the bonus chance at grinding it in the normal way. But gamblers who love taking risks can take advantage of this. Sometimes they do give an amount that would be impossible to get on the normal roll.
I've done this before and based on experience it didn't give me that good of a result, I think 10-20 times and when I felt the losses from what I have done, it became like a trauma that I won't do such a thing again. Maybe there are lucky seeds that would be paired with it but in my case, it was all bad luck. Most of the time, zero is what I received.

This is why if you want to gamble you must only use money you can afford to lose.

If you think bonus feature will give you a huge win and 100% guarantee you will earn, it's really a wrong mindset. It has nothing to do with the probability to win, there's always a house edge and it will make the house will win in the long run.

And I agree with you that when gambling, we should only use the money we can afford so that we won't regret it. Even though we feel sad because we have lost money, it won't be too sad because we already know the risks of gambling.

Slots have some of the highest house edge of any casino game. The bonus buys are not worth it no matter what the game is or the purported multipliers it gives you on your bet. I don't think the stats are public but the house edge on bonus buys are either the same or or higher. Under no circumstances do they lower house edge for the player. Slot providers would not openly offer an option to players that increases RTP from an operating point of view. Side bets on table games work the same way, all of them are designed to increase the house edge. At least with those, you can calculate how much the house edge increases. With these bonus buys, you're left guessing.

You're right about slots and bonus buys. Try finding a pot of gold at the end of a brilliant rainbow, but the truth is often different. Slots offer one of the highest casino house edges. Flashing lights and appealing tunes should keep you whirling, but they don't always end well. Bonus buys with purported multipliers may appear appealing, but casino odds frequently make them a mirage.

Bonus buys have a higher house advantage than regular games. Slot suppliers want to generate money, not assist players win. Offering a lower house edge alternative would be insane. It's like table game side bets - they benefit the casino, not you. Table games let you calculate how much they're taking.

If you really enjoy using the bonus feature, it means you can accept the consequences because most gamblers find it difficult to accept it like you. They will grumble because they can't get a lot of money or at least reach the BEP to get their money back. And after that, they will buy the bonus feature again with the same hope but that also doesn't guarantee they can win much money. Maybe only people with a large balance can buy the bonus feature repeatedly because they will not see it as difficult to do, especially if they have a lot of money in their gambling account. This differentiates it from most gamblers because those who can use the bonus feature can repeat it many times even though their chances of winning will not be greater than those who only buy it less than 5 times.

Well that's right, that's the first mindset that every gambler should have, prepare the money they can afford to lose or maybe don't mind whatever happens there, and also the second is to accept all the consequences at the end of the round, accept all the final answers gracefully, it should be like that but unfortunately their expectations are too high that makes them forget to go home and rest their minds that are already chaotic and that's the same thing you keep creating problems for your life through gambling.

Exactly, the truth is that whatever is in the scope of gambling is just nonsense such as bonus features, still you should not put too high expectations on anything that is there, because it is just luck and nothing more than that.

I know they can be risky, but I really enjoy getting those bonuses in slot games. It's something I look for in a slot. You do take a chance since you're usually betting around 100 times your initial bet in one go. Sometimes it pays off nicely, and other times it can really hurt your account balance. Some slots even offer different ways to buy bonuses, like the Wanted: Dead or Alive slot.

~snip~ I will not even buy the bonus because I believe the result will also not good. Most other gamblers say that the slot is in the cold time, so anytime I feel that the result is not that good after few tens spins, I will prefer to move to other slots than buying the bonus round.

I often ignore it and keep buying freespins. Often when the first purchase is bad, I buy again in the hope that the results are good but it's still bad, buy again and again it's bad, until finally the balance runs out and I think to myself "why I don't change the slot?". If the slot doesn't want to make a profit, no matter how many times buy freespins, the results will still be bad

I found slot providers without a buy spin feature from Play N Go providers ~snip~

I've never played on Play N Go provider, so I don't have any experience. But it would be interesting if they actually gave freepsin after 100 spins. I often play on pragmatic providers, there it is very difficult to get free spins if there is a purchase feature. IMO

The most annoying thing about slots that don't have a buy freespin feature is that when our luck is bad, we can spin hundreds of times but not get a single free spin bonus. It's such a waste of time and money. In slot games what we are waiting for is a free spin bonus, if we don't get it, it will be very annoying. If there is a buy freespin feature, then when we have spin normal several times and the spin looks bad we can buy freespins and we can immediately enjoy the sensation of freespins. But if our account is not having luck, buying freespins often makes the balance run out very quickly.

We do expect big multiplications in free spins. It didn't happen when purchasing the first freespin, so the hope is when you press the second freespin feature. The frustration peaked when I bought the second free spin, the results were not commensurate with the amount of the balance deducted for purchasing this feature. Therein lies the most annoying thing.
I actually don't always want the buy freespin feature on the slots I play and choose to play normally. If I'm lucky and get free spins from the 30 spins I hit, then that's enough.
This is to avoid wasting your balance.

The "Bonus buy" feature are targeted at the "lazy" people with the big pockets.... because you are not going to hit the huge Jackpot on every buy... but rather 1 out of say 10 or 20...... and in most cases, you would only make back the money that you spend on buying all of those bonuses. Roll Eyes

The paid Streamers that are using casino money to play.... created this misconception that bonus buys are profitable, but they mostly lose a lot of money and then suddenly they hit a HUGE Jackpot and that is posted on social media for advertisement. Roll Eyes

(Go check on Youtube on how many videos are posted on HUGE Jackpots that are hit.... but they seldom show the amount of times and the amount of money that are spend to win those jackpots.) Roll Eyes

I'm not in favor of buying bonuses and as far as I know it's quite possible to get into the bonus round after a certain number of spins. In my opinion I'd rather spend money on spins at minimum bet than buy bonuses. I don't know why, but it seems to me that such a strategy can give better results.

If we talk about streamers, I don't believe these guys at all, because they make money on it.

In a normal game of slots you will wait for a while before having the bonus hit People want some thrill about it and for me, if you have a budget and would like to buy a bonus slot in the feature it's food because you don't need to wait too much and there's a chance that your bonus will continuously go up the multiplier but still there's a risk that you could lose your attempts and win smaller amount than you bought the bonus. In reality, not all bonuses will return profit immediately it's just a head start

But if our account is not having luck, buying freespins often makes the balance run out very quickly.

It depends on personal view, because for me I almost never use the buying feature on slots even though it is available, maybe I only use this feature a few times and it could be said that it doesn't increase my chances of winning more, because it only gives a return according to the value used to buy.
However, I agree that hundreds of spins without getting free spins is very annoying and boring, because what slot players look forward to the most is hitting bonuses and giving free spins, but even those free spins are often disappointing, especially if you have played for a long time one hour or more on the same slot and have gotten free spins several times. often the results actually get smaller and smaller, but players will not stop playing slots because this is the most popular type of casino game, casinos without slot games find it difficult to get more players.

I found slot providers without a buy spin feature from Play N Go providers. almost all of them do not have a buy spin feature but I dont know if its just me who feels this or other people also feel that the Play N Go provider does not have a buy spin feature but usually every 100 spin it gives free spin bonus like Rise Of Olympus 100 which I've played several times, I always feel the same even though I'm not lucky, still every 100-200 spin I always get free spin, but sometimes the results are also very annoying and thats just my experience, maybe some people have experience different.

as @Bitinity said, if you really feel that in the normal round the game is very bad or you feel unlucky, its better to avoid buying the spin feature because in the end results will be the same or even worse if you buy the $20 spin feature and get $1 back. Cheesy
