Slots with the purchase of bonus games - is it good or bad?

[Kemarit]

Actually I never know that buying bonus is available in slots, until I watch those streamers doing that.
So I did try to see (but not trying to emulate them), and it seems it's effective method to win big or lose very quick.
And for me it's a good feature, not saying that you can used it to recoup your losses or something, but it will give you some chance based on your luck on what x amount you can win.
Definitely, getting a regular bonus itself is rewarding, specially if you are going to win big.
But having a buy bonus features in games, and you are willing to take that risk, then why not and see how it goes?

[salad daging]

Liked the buy bonus feature because it's a bigger thrill than regular spins often I buy bonuses to expect a big win but it's just luck, humans hope you can but you have to know that there are no definite results.

After up to 30/40 spins do not get free spins then I do buy in the hope of luck.

I do it all, it's part of the game that keeps improving.

Maybe he's doing research on gambling here.

How do you feel about slots with purchasable bonuses? Would you like to do everything as it was before, without buying bonuses?

As slot lover, bonus buy is a good addition for players, this option can be used as alternative to play the normal spins although I do believe that many players use bonus buy most of the time.
I myself like to play with normal spins as it is the original way to hunt the bonus round and it is more enjoyable and fun that directly using the bonus buy feature.
However I have to say that I also like to use bonus buy, sometime I play it in my whole single gambling session (always purchase bonus).

Depends on you though in regarding about bonus buy but cant really be denied that when it comes into that having that huge chance on winning a hit because of this feature then it cant really be avoided for you not to
think about that situation on which despite of having not that cheap bonus buy feature then not all would really be willing on doing with this path but rather would be going after with that standard rolls or normal ones.
For me bonus buy feature is good, it is really adding up the option for you to have it directly rather than on hunting it down with your balance, but we know the fact that not all does have that huge bankroll to start with their gambling sessions and this is why they would really be that trying out to make those balances to be worth and could really be able to hit up that longer sessions. Bonus buys are really that something that could hook you.
Who doesnt really want to have that higher odds on winning? But we should always bare out on our mind that it is never be meant nor the purpose on making a gambler having that guaranteed win. Odds been raised up
but doesnt mean that it would really be in favor of yours because house do always win at the end but if you are lucky enough then you might really be able to sustain.

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.

I am curious why you stated that the chances of big win in purchased bonuses are much higher, any documented proof about this?  I believe the chance of getting huge win is the same in a spawned bonus round and bought bonus round.  It is that bonus buy can easily get accessed with so we can have lots of chances of playing while the spawned bonuses are quite rare.

I am ok with it, it makes the bonus round easier to grab.  I don't mind whether the casino will implement a no bonus buy slots but I believe it will greatly impact the streaming industry.  Since it would be boring to spin and spawn a bonus round which can take too long to spawn unlike the with the bonus buy feature, streamers can easily get a premier of their stream if they happened to get a high multiplier.

I have actually noticed that buy or purchase a bonus button on almost every slot game I play, but I have never used it because I do not see the need for buying a bonus with money when I'm actually using money to play The same game, I personally see this feature as a waste to The Gambler, but actually a way of making more profit to the game provider, The Gambler who uses this future will just only waste money because the same bonus The Gambler is buying could  also be given or earned while playing the game, but then, if the reason why the game provider made this feature available is because the bought bonus is different from the bonus players earn while playing the game,  then it simply means the game is not provably fair as they claim, or always claim it to be .

[alastantiger]

I totally agree with you. I don't get the appeal of buying those, especially when there's a real change you lose your bet. You might as well gamble with bigger bets and get that money in normal wins, or if you are super lucky you get the bonus with THAT! So that the worth of bonus game is going to be 100x-500x if bought. Or what ever they are worth now.

One reason i am in casinos is win with higher multiplier. Not possibly losing my capital with buying something i am hoping to get for free, or free with the bet.

This is the comment that I have been looking for. Purchasing bonus is almost the same thing as wagering again on slots. With the purchasing of bonus, the odds of losing is still as high and there is no real advantage to it. It is all a psychological trick to make the gambler feel that they are spending less and that they stand a higher chance of winning when in reality, it is not. Nothing is free in the the casino even a free or bonus spin.

I tried the bonus purchase feature on slots, but mostly I only got bad results and I often even lost money. But when I do regular spins, sometimes I actually get quite a lot of money from multiplication of 25x to 50x. I often see people get multiplied above 100x on buying these bonuses, but I've never felt it myself. So maybe I'm out of luck and I'd rather do that regular spin for now.

I have tried the bonus buy feature and my $100 funds is easily depleted in just a few minutes.  I got very unlucky buying 5x bonus buys and I got all of them at a losing rate in return.  So from that experience, I avoid buying bonus buys because in normal circumstances, 1 bonus buy is equivalent to 100 spins where if we are lucky we can get in a bonus in just some spins.  Spawned bonus gives us more chance of winning since our base wagering amount is just the base bet.  So whether it gives us 10x or 50x, we are still at a profit in consideration of the base bet we do unlike in bonus buy, less than 99x result is a lose.

I believe there is a good and bad things about bonus purchases, those who have money but are impatient to trigger the bonus round can save their time by purchasing bonus. The setback is we need to hit the same multiplier as the price of bonus purchase in order to break even which is often not the case since most of the time the result is a loss.

The answer will be very relative, it also varies.
IMO, for me there is no better or worse answer. Honestly, in every game I play in slot games, I rarely buy bonus features. except when I start to feel bored after waiting a long time but don't get the free spins, then I try to buy the bonus feature. but generally, I play naturally and just rely on luck without buying free spins.

In my experience either buy the bonus feature or get it for free. each result, can not be determined. sometimes, when I buy a bonus feature, the reward I get is very unsatisfactory. sometimes too, getting free spins can provide a sizable reward. The point is, it all comes down to luck. but theoretically, buying bonus features and getting free spins makes a difference. ideally, buying more bonus features gives us the opportunity to get a big reward. even so, I prefer to enjoy every game session and always play naturally. if I'm lucky, even the free spins often give fantastic prizes. although the probability is not as big as buying the bonus feature. After all, my goal is just to fill my free time while waiting for the sports match to be held.

You bombard create threads with the same context, namely casino, profit loss and slot machines. I don't know what your goal is Instead of focusing on discussing it in one thread, why do you have to make it a lot? while the target of the discussion will refer to the same assumptions. If in case it can be discussed in the same thread please don't make it again. We know what you have to say, but it would be nice if you kept one thread created and active there for the full discussion.

Do the size and frequency of online casino winnings depend on the time of year?
Constant wins in the casino for several days, then constant losses. Noticed?!

honestly great eye for catching this one. I didn't know it was him who's doing all these threads here, although I don't really agree with "discussing it in one thread" as these topics have their differences when you dig deeper.

But when I do regular spins, sometimes I actually get quite a lot of money from multiplication of 25x to 50x. I often see people get multiplied above 100x on buying these bonuses, but I've never felt it myself. So maybe I'm out of luck and I'd rather do that regular spin for now.

I feel like these "bonuses" are more of a death trap than something that you'd really be able to use to get more wins. For instance you must have a lot of spins for these bonuses to even do their magic as if you stick with your regular bankroll you're sure to lose a lot of money from the spins and the bonus purchase. Another would be the fact that they cost money too, which goes towards the casinos, and while I like the prospect of winning more, in this case it doesn't really make sense especially since I'm only gambling for entertainment only.

...
Bonus buy can be from from 50 or 60 dollars or more.

Really? From $50 or $60 and even more? 


I can't say that buying bonuses is good or bad... we usually find that out after we buy the bonus! What I can say is that the odds are not in our favor, maybe 1 in 10 buys will be successful, if we are lucky a few of them. But I had 5-10 bonus buys in a row after which I could only stop playing because I didn't have enough money for another buy, all bonus buys wins were negative, some of them a total disaster with x1-x5 payouts.

It's good when we can buy "super bonus rounds", but they are usually x1000 base bet, so they are not cheap. We shake until we just recover the money, which does not happen every time, even those super bonuses can disappoint big time... been there and done that.

In the end, bonus buys are good for fast play full of excitement. Bonus spins can be with some crazy features and all that music and sounds can really be interesting... but don't get carried away, it's still gambling, just with higher stakes.

Purchasing bonuses might be a dangerous endeavour because the results are unpredictable and the chances aren't always good. It can be tempting to gamble because of the thrill and potential for large winnings, but it's important to keep in mind that there are still hazards and bigger stakes involved. To prevent getting carried away, it's crucial to establish boundaries and take the potential financial impact into consideration.
Bonus purchases let you feel the excitement of gameplay more quickly and take advantage of some fascinating features that go along with them, but it's important to use caution when using them. As you pointed out, not every bonus buy will be profitable, and it's possible to suffer a string of losses that could deplete your bankroll.
The trick is striking a balance between taking advantage of the thrill of additional features and being conscious of the potential financial concerns. Gambling should always be done sensibly, with boundaries established to keep it from becoming a source of financial stress rather than fun.

Wait! a moment... tell me which games, it is random to win with a bonus, in fact I would say that they have even deteriorated them because at the time all the bonuses I bought never left me at 0x and now it is a constant of 0.5x, 0.7x, etc. In any case it's part of the variance, sometimes you buy bonuses and end up with 50x in less time than just doing spins without buying these features.

Bonus buy is a good feature in slots, it is the time that a gambler can win the most. One thing I have noticed about the bonus buy is that they are not cheap, but with it you have high chance to win a big bonus.

In gambling, always know that you should use little amount of money that you can afford to lose to gamble even if you want to go for bonus buy. Bonus buy can be from from 50 or 60 dollars or more.

If that what makes you profitable in slots and you think you’re capable enough, then why not? After all, as long as you still manage your finances well and you never cross with your limits in gambling, then that’s fine. Bonus buy will give you opportunities for a bigger win, but still do it with caution. It’s not all the time that you should go for bonuses, but also take time to limit your expenses some times especially if you are on a frequent loss. Spending much does not guarantee for a big win. Slots gambling is still a game of luck, so never spend all your wealth in order to maximize your profits. At the end of the day, the house will always have the higher chances to win.

That's a little optimistic isn't it? For the most part you don't even feel the bonus that you bought. You're literally spending money on something that doesn't give you any form of benefit or value from the purchase thereof. That's why I don't buy bonuses. Plus as I said in my previous comments, most of the time you'd make the most out of these bonus buys by playing more, which is a little counterintuitive considering we guys are out here promoting healthy gambling within a special limit. If we're out here pushing for wins and massive gains we gotta do that tradeoff otherwise we're just literally wasting money over something trivial. No hate on people who buys these bonuses, nor to slots that sell them since after all it does work up to a certain guarantee, but if you're someone who's gambling on a budget then this is just not for you.

[dothebeats]

Bonus games are actually a good implementation as it gives the gambler a few chances in getting profits for a limited time. In vanilla slots, you are straight up battling against your chances and that, IMO, is something that will give you a smaller window of winning compared to the bonus games. IMO casino games including slots are a lot more 'forgiving' with the RTP system and bonus games compared to the platforms of old.

Regardless of whether there's a buy feature or not, it doesn't change the fact that all spins are under the same random algorithm.

It's just that in a buy feature, you save your ass from waiting to have that free spin or scatter bonus appear. Obviously, a sure opportunity to have a bonus feature should cost you another risk, it's pricey depending on the bet amount and sometimes, your overall winning here won't cover what you paid to have that feature.

Now up to you to decide, make a shortcut, pay for a cost, and hope for luck or just wait until you hit that feature in a normal spin.

It's good that the slot providers started offering the option of buying bonus rounds because there are types of gamblers who prefer taking the faster route and that's through the bonus rounds. I never tried it because my bankroll isn't big enough and sometimes you never know what you'll get while going through each spin. The assumption of regular slot wins being lowered because of the feature is more likely a coincidence when we still see other gamblers share their big wins through the base game.

I don't think anything with the word "bonuses" is bad, that is unless they require you to buy useless stuff. Slots on the other hand, have bonuses attached usually based on the number of times you've played, or amount of deposits you've done. They're basically free in context depending on how much you spend. I'm perfectly fine with or without bonuses, I rarely play slots nowadays in the first place anyway. it is a loss considering if someone just plays slots though.

[len01]

from my experience it depends on the type of slot I want to play and usually I play more often from pragmatic providers or Play N Go and at pragmatic I also sometimes buy bonus spins more often when my feelings tell me that the day is mine so I keep buying bonuses spin after above 500 basic spins but when the situation feels bad I prefer to rarely buy bonus spins.

and to play on slots, the Play N Go provider very rarely provides a buy bonus spin feature, so I think this made me even more curious when I could not get the scatter symbol to be able to enter the bonus round and kept pressing the spin button until I got the scatter. but whether its just me or some people feel the same way when playing games from Play N Go providers which do not provide a buy spin feature when you get a scatter and entering the bonus round usually gets satisfactory results. but Im sure some people have different opinions.

[Bitinity]

In one side I agree that bonus buying  is like killing the main ideology of slot in general because slot was designed to be played normally spin by spin, but in the other side I take this additional bonus buying is like a innovative feature that can be used by players who is bored enough playing slot with so many spins but failed to get free spins/bonus round. Bonus buying is also good for those who do not want to spend too long time playing spin by spin. In conclusion, good or not is depending on our own perspective but in general everything must have positive and negative point of view.
