How recommendable are Bonus Buy Slots?

The highlight of most slot machines is undoubtedly the free Spins mode. Of course, it can take a long time for those long-awaited free Spins to be activated. To give impatient players direct access to the exciting free spins, there are bonus buy slots. These are online slots where the player can unlock the bonus feature for a fixed price. But how worthwhile is this in practice?

Just a few days ago we presented some of the latest Halloween slots at GambleJoe, which are particularly popular this year in German licensed online casinos. More and more often the so-called "Bonus Buy" feature is available in online slots. This feature allows the player to start the free spins round for x times the normal bet. This means the player can go from 0 to 100 with just one click. However, the instant thrill comes at a price.

How does the "Buy Bonus" feature work anyway?

Bonus Buy Slots work just like any other slot machine. The only difference is that there is an additional button that allows the player to buy the free spins at a predetermined price. Once confirmed, the free spins are triggered.

Of course, the price for using the Bonus Buy feature will be deducted from the player's account first. The price is usually around 100 times the normal bet for the round. So, if you are playing with a stake of 1 euro per spin, the price for the Bonus Buy feature in this example is 100 euro.

However, there are some slot machines that require players to dig deeper into their pockets. This is the case with the San Quentin xWays slot from Nolimit City. Buying free spins can cost up to 2,000 times the 'normal' round bet.

Players should be aware that using this feature does not guarantee a (large) win. Only the free spins are purchased, so the player does not have to place any additional bets during the free spins. Whether and how big the winnings won during the free spins are, of course, a matter of chance, as with everything else.

Are Bonus Buy Slots worth it?

Of course, it is not possible to make a blanket statement about whether or not Bonus Buy Slot Machines are worthwhile. Whether or not to use this relatively new feature depends on the player's individual circumstances. If the player is looking for a lot of excitement and is impatient at the same time, the Bonus Buy feature can sometimes be worthwhile.

However, the expectation of using this feature should not be to win back the "purchase price" paid. Of course, the Bonus Buy feature is part of the overall game, so the average payout rate applies here as well. However, experience shows that sometimes impressive winnings can be achieved on the Bonus Buy slots.

What attractive Bonus Buy Slots are there?

The number of slot machines with integrated "Bonus Buy" features has been increasing significantly for some time now. Some providers even have their own categories with names like "Bonus Buy" or "Buy Free Spins". For example, the following online slots offer a buy free spins feature:
