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

[skarais]

If you sit back and buy 100 bonus buys, you will profit on maybe 10 of those buys. The casino will love you and your wallet will hate you. Buying 1 every now n then and hoping for a big win is fine, but do not go spam buying bonuses unless you hate money.

yahoo62278, you have represented my opinion on bonus purchases.
You're right though there's nothing wrong with how someone utilizes the feature. In many cases, repeated bonus purchases just drain the player's balance without a worth it win, that's an experience I can never escape from anyone.

Buying the occasional bonus was fine, but I never expected to win something as big as the max payout. That's incredibly hard to win, but some gamblers seem to be chasing it anyway. Bad, that's a bad idea in my opinion.

It's not a bad idea to indulge in the usuage of slot bonus packages but, it's pretty much expensive... It's simply a liverage to gamblers and can create more formidable Chances of winnings; imagine in a virtual-based casino - in a case where a gambler is outta funds buh, the coming fixtures seems to be favourable - the bonus can go a long way in this case.
I believe if it's been adopted by so many casinos like you said, then it's a good idea to begin with.... What's this inquisitions about your name?

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?

Don't make an assumption such as bonuses have become smaller, winnings got low, and every negative thought you think is because of the buy bonus. There's no direct connection that the buy bonus feature affects those thoughts you have mentioned if we look at the technical aspect.

Game providers won't bother to reduce payouts since in the first place the bonus feature does have a cost and it's not free. It's even risky to purchase a bonus as in most cases, you will only receive small payouts in the end not covering the amount you have paid for it.

Simply, don't blame your negative experience that leads to negative views on this buy bonus. We are talking about gambling here and there's no 100% chance of winning here. If you are losing much, just take a break and don't make things too complicated.

A bonus buy might increase the chances of getting a big win but that isn't a guaranteed way of getting big wins because I have seen people buying bonuses worth thousands of dollars and getting dust in return and they greatly regret doing that when they see the results. And, I would say that it is all about your luck, if you are lucky, you might win something big from the free bonus spins that you get and if you are unlucky, you won't get anything even after buying them.

However, some people find it fun to buy bonuses to try their luck and see if they actually get something out of it, I find it fun too but I believe it's too expensive and one should play normal spins instead and if they are lucky, they will still get something good from normal spins and tumble wins.

Well, I don't know , I am not sure but I feel you didn't completely understand what the op meant, or maybe I am the one who does not understand how slot bonus packages work since I've never bought and used one , though I play slot games alot.

I understand bonus packages on slot games to be bonuses that could help the gambler win more money and easier as well, if the gambler is lucky though, since everything in slot games have to do with luck ..

For example, there are some slot games where to arrive at a bonus, you need to have play 50 to 100 spins, for some slot games, the number of spins is even higher , the bonus packages provided by the game provider is just or a way to maybe drastically bring the number of spins required to hit a bonus down, depending on the number of bonus packages you purchase, that will determine how often you will hit the bonus, that is, how many times you click the spin button before a bonus shows up, and I also have think that the bonus packages only work for that game session, that is , if you close the game and leave without exhausting the bonuses you brought, when next you come back, the bonuses would have reset and you will have to buy another if interested in it ..
I stand to be corrected just incase I am wrong since I stated earlier that I am not sure about this .

All the gamblers will wait for the bonus from their deposits,so they use the bonus wisely before the end of the wallet to zero value.The big win is the only needed one in the gambling and the same process will be proceeded by the gamblers till the success.Being a gambler,I don’t except anything from the gambling.Because the gambling will bring good profit one day,we need to wait for it.But not all the gamblers ready to think in this way,instead they want of the big win at the first bet itself which is hardest part to the gamblers.

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

There are slot games where the bonus feature is really interesting and worth paying especially those with:

- increasing multipliers every win (stacked until the end)
- several stacked wilds that can last until the end
- chances of retriggering the bonus feature while under the bonus feature
- normal free spins ranging around 10 spins

..any many more.

I do have my own choice of slots where the bonus feature is really worth trying. I already experience hitting decent win at those slots.

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.

In fact there are even some slots without free spins round so it will be impossible to add bonus buy in such slot. However I have to agree that it will be annoying when we have made many spins without free spins or bonus round but it is also annoying when we get many free spins but the result are bad. In a situation when I have made few tens spins but the result is not good, 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 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.

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. 

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.    (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.)

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'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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
