Buy a Bonus VS playing Slot on normal Spin - which do you prefer?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Hi gamblers,

So, I was playing a Slot game( sweet bonanza to be precise), was betting the minimum which is $0.2 for a spin, got lucky at some point and won a bonus of 10 free spins, this bonus came after I spinned the very last of my account balance, this means that, if I had lost, it would have been the end of the game for me since I would have zero balance to continue playing.

But it seems luck was on my side, I won 10 free spins, so I continued the game by playing the 10 spins, and by the end of the spins, I won a total of $54 dollars, I was super happy, I paused play for a while, thinking whether to continue to stop and withdraw that money, $54 wasnt my target, I was hoping for more, I wanted to try and see if I can win big money like the testimonies I often read online and on this forum, I was anxious for maybe a $100k or more win, so I called a friend who also loves playing Slot, told him about my win and explained what I hoped for, he then asked me to buy a Bonus, he said $40 spent on bonus can give me up to 20 free spins, after the discussion, I ended the call, and decided to do some research before deciding whether to buy bonus or not, and from what I realized, many buy bonus, and still end up losing, that simply means that, buying a bonus is guarantee for a win in slot game, I decide not to buy any bonus, I continued with normal Spin and unfortunately, I ended up losing around $47 dollars, I managed to withdraw $5 to my wallet from the $54 dollar win. 😭 By the way, I started the game with around $2 deposit 🤣.

So, I am here to ask, buying a bonus and playing on normal spins in slot game, which so far, has been more profitable for or to you?

Buy bonus is a faster way you can win higher or lose faster. It makes the wining and the losses to be very fast. I have tried it before like three times but I lost money very fast. I decided not to use it anymore. But if buy bonus gives you a win, it can be up to $100 or more. Someone that I know used it to win over $200 with $60. What I prefer more are free spin which has made me won over $200 before with just $20 but I rarely see free spin. The winning was very fast but I think I was just very lucky that day.

I can relate those big wins on free spins are occurrences that happen once in a blue moon. I can imagine how excited you were on winning $200 from $20 bet. When I have big wins like that I fall into the dilemma of is this a random occurrence or where there some pattern or strategy that I followed and got this lucky win. And how to replicate it for future games. Despite knowing that it were all just some random occurrence, the emotional part of my human brain will keep trying to draws some correlations of some behaviours, actions, attitude prior to playing the game where there may not be any.

Well if you want to experience the bonus round then I guess you should avail of the buy bonus. In the beginning, I was not aware of it because I used to play on landbase casinos and there is none of this buy bonus.

But when I play online games, and when I saw this features, I will just readily get and opt to play with it.

However, as slots are base on luck, doesn't matter though if you get the buy bonus or work your way up on a regular bonus. If you are not not lucky enough you might end up losing in the end.

I would agree to this, it's not a guarantee that you will win big if you take the buy bonus although it make it obviously faster to see the bonus round. But most of the time, it will not return the money or at least break even with the money that you spend to buy it. So it is still a hit or miss. Maybe you can hear stories of people trying this feature and then make a lot of money. Or someone who thinks that they are going to get a good result, but end up losing money very fast. From my experience, I think I try it 2 times, losing every time. But I guess as a slot player, we all know that everything is base on lady luck and if she doesn't smile on you, then sorry and better quit early.

So, I am here to ask, buying a bonus and playing on normal spins in slot game, which so far, has been more profitable for or to you?

Depends on several things if you ask me:
1. My starting bankroll: it is crucial part when we talk about comparison between bonus buy or normal spins because with small bankroll we may not even able to purchase 1 bonus.
2, The game: there are some games where I prefer to play with normal spin than bonus buy but there are also some games that I prefer to use bonus buy than normal spin.
3. Feeling; it is hard to explain about this but sometime what I do is based on my feeling when playing the game.

Which one is more profitable? No one is more profitable than the other one, it is all about luck based game.
Sometime normal spins can give us better result but at the other time bonus buy can give better result depending on our luck ofc.

In my case, I will look for the games that I want to play and deposit the money enough to get my the buy bonus and see how my luck is.

2, The game: there are some games where I prefer to play with normal spin than bonus buy but there are also some games that I prefer to use bonus buy than normal spin.

Love to test it with high volatility games and it might give us something.

3. Feeling; it is hard to explain about this but sometime what I do is based on my feeling when playing the game.

Right, I think for slot players, sometimes we listen to our gut feeling and hunch, whether to used the buy bonus or not. Hard to explain but for sure, slot players knows this feeling and we go by it.

Which one is more profitable? No one is more profitable than the other one, it is all about luck based game.

We really don't have the answer as what is profitable as we all know that slot are luck based games.

I don't buy a bonus spin. For me, it's too expensive. Worst, it can be addictive.
I just let the system decide on what will come next. When I win that big I usually just switch to another game, it means another slot provider because in my brain I should not be using the same provider, or else they will take all my profits there.
Jump into another one, maybe the cheaper one with just $0.1 minimum, and try your luck there and you will have more spins too. You are lucky to get the bonus as early as that with just a $2 balance. I tried that too and there was a time when I got lucky with my first spin too, entered the bonus round, and won with a x300+ multiplier. My wife urged me to withdraw it, I left $5 and tried to spin again but no luck with any slot provider.

What I see as the worst of it is that the gambling sites have house edge in one way or the other. If you use bonus buy or playing without using bonus buy, it is most likely that your money is going to those gambling sites. Gambling is just for fun and not should be seen as a way to make money. If a gambler is having money that he can afford to lose for bonus buy, he can go for it. I am not using bonus buy and I gamble just with little amount of money.

I don't think it's expensive though, perhaps you will have to spend that amount of money or even more in order to get the normal bonus rounds. But buy bonus offers that feature immediately for us.

But yes, everything is base on luck, I've try this features many times, but it's really random and unpredictable that you will win and get x multiplier returns. Everything rest on how lucky you are. I think the most that I got is just around x10, but it's big enough for me and very satisfied that time from using this buy bonus.

If that is asked, honestly I will answer (Buy Bonus) the best idea for me in slot gambling games, I have reasons for that.
Playing slots normally, for me there is no luck even though we can press the 10-100 speed spin button automatically, it's not much different from buying a bonus, also works with the predetermined speed rotation feature.
I often buy bonuses and I often get bonus spins up to three times in one bonus purchase, and I often win more than I buy, rather than playing normally.

From my personal experience in slot gambling, of course buying bonuses is the right strategy for me personally, the point is that everyone has different understanding and strategies in slot games.

I think this is it for me, "everyone has their different understanding and strategies in slot games", this is really true though.
I've played slot games for years now, though not regularly, but in all the times I've played, I've never really made any tangible winnings, and when ever it's like I have the chance to, I still end up losing it all back when I continue to play.

I've never bought a Bonus, but I guess I will have to try it when next I play slot again, maybe that is where my luck lies, as I've come to realize that luck comes in different ways for different people, some persons experience good luck out of doing nothing, while for some other people, they can only experience good luck when they first sacrifice something before hand to the platform they are expecting luck from, so, I am assuming that if I buy a Bonus, it could as act as my own sacrifice to the casino/game provider, and that could go before me and create good luck.

Lolz 😂, don't see me as being superstitious, such thought as above is normal for most gamblers, and I do have such thoughts from time to time myself, I guess when trying to create strategies, one have to think of several things, both the real and the unreal, even though I've always believed that there are no strategies that guarantees winning in slot games, winning still boils down to luck, but all the same, man must think  .

Withdrawing would have been more profitable.   It is however just $54 but I would rather try some other games after winning the amount. It breaks the bad luck in a way if you believe in it. There are so many games to try out after. Try the $10 for Dice and another for some other games like Bacarrat.  But seeing you enjoyed the slot, so yes $40 and a 10 free spin bonus might have been worth it all for you.

[Solosanz]

Bonus buy doesn't mean it will boost your winning rate.

You might able to earn more since the highest multipliers can be hit by bonus buy, but remember the chance to win is same like in normal mode. Bonus buy is just make gamblers to feel it's more profitable and make gambling more interesting than in normal mode.

If you didn't believe it, you can try to only gamble using bonus buy, let's see what the result you will get.

The bonus is based on the wager money,So the player can use the bonus spin to get back their loss.But the game to recover the loss is not like easy play,the gamblers should use their full skill or previous experience.That free 10 spins should multiple the damage of loss like 0.2$*10 =20$ as the minimum.The gamblers who use the game without the seriousness should never recover the game loss and the high betting money like one dollars per betting when you had 10$ as the wallet balance was not the right option.Because you get only ten betting option,if you don’t have luck.The gambler may loss 10$ in just ten betting.

But it seems luck was on my side, I won 10 free spins, so I continued the game by playing the 10 spins, and by the end of the spins, I won a total of $54 dollars, I was super happy, I paused play for a while, thinking whether to continue to stop and withdraw that money, $54 wasnt my target, I was hoping for more, I wanted to try and see if I can win big money like the testimonies I often read online and on this forum, I was anxious for maybe a $100k or more win, so I called a friend who also loves playing Slot, told him about my win and explained what I hoped for, he then asked me to buy a Bonus, he said $40 spent on bonus can give me up to 20 free spins, after the discussion, I ended the call, and decided to do some research before deciding whether to buy bonus or not, and from what I realized, many buy bonus, and still end up losing, that simply means that, buying a bonus is guarantee for a win in slot game, I decide not to buy any bonus, I continued with normal Spin and unfortunately, I ended up losing around $47 dollars, I managed to withdraw $5 to my wallet from the $54 dollar win. 😭 By the way, I started the game with around $2 deposit 🤣.

Actually if you play the previous game with the capital of 0.2$ and all loss leads to the way of 20$ loss.But your new winning had overcome the loss and increased the capital of 34$ additional.So withdraw the initial and start the new game with the capital of 34$,it may help you multiple further on your skills.But remember the game is the spins,So the capital loss also the part of the game.Even if you loss the capital,you are still in the safe zone.

[Frankolala]

I will first of all say that you won big with just $2 and you won $54, that should have made your day great assuming that you quit the game. But I can understand that greed will not make us know when to stop playing because we are not satisfied with our wins, and will want more wins, which will finally end to losing all our bankroll. Why is it just too hard to let go of our bet when winning or losing, even though we claim to be a responsible gambler.

So, I am here to ask, buying a bonus and playing on normal spins in slot game, which so far, has been more profitable for or to you?

Buying bonus or playing normal spin is the same, because when it is not your lucky game, you will lose the game, but if it is your lucky game, you will win it. Just like what happened to OP, he was lucky to win 54 bucks with 10 free spin, and assuming he bought the 20 free spin, he will still lose, just as he lost.

[danadc]

What I can recommend is that when you have won something on the slots you withdraw it, do not believe in bonuses, or anything like that, slot games are luck and if you were lucky you should not have taken the risk, especially with the 'last one' cash, but that serves as a lesson to you, although it is painful to have lost all that, I recommend not withdrawing, do not believe in free spins Bonuses, games have that type of incentive, but hey, it has to be done. With a win that you had, it is enough to have made it and enjoyed it, in the casino you are lucky and you win that way, you have to Withdraw it, you do not have to try to invent it.

Bonus spins are marketing tools used by online gambling companies in order to retain its players into gambling again. The more spins that you have, the higher the chances that you would be inclined to gamble again on their platform. As a result, the more time that you spend on a gambling website, there is that higher probability that you would have to buy and purchase their bundles to acquire more free spins. It is a simple marketing yet effective for users to would want to gamble long-term.

Personally, if I have a budget for the day, I would opt to purchase the bundle that has any free spins or bonuses. If I already won in the process, then I would also be inclined to cash-out. Remember, you already won and betting again would not guarantee an absolute win on your part.

What I can recommend is that when you have won something on the slots you withdraw it, do not believe in bonuses, or anything like that, slot games are luck and if you were lucky you should not have taken the risk, especially with the 'last one' cash, but that serves as a lesson to you, although it is painful to have lost all that, I recommend not withdrawing, do not believe in free spins Bonuses, games have that type of incentive, but hey, it has to be done. With a win that you had, it is enough to have made it and enjoyed it, in the casino you are lucky and you win that way, you have to Withdraw it, you do not have to try to invent it.

I also agree with your statement.

Like what I have mentioned, bonuses are there for the players to be attracted into gambling again on the platform. Just because it is free, it does not mean that you would win from it. Remember, gambling is a 2-way street: either you win or you lose miserably- pick your choice.

Well, it's impossible to answer this question... bonus buy is usually x100, or in case of some special bonus buy it can go up to x500 times the base bet. So when we decide to play normal spins we can get lucky and win a bonus round in less than 100 spins, but we can also spend a lot more than x100 without hitting a bonus round or some big win. At such moments I wonder if it would have been better if I had bought the bonus round right away instead of losing all that money and not seeing the bonus round. In any case, did we get it the normal way or did we buy the bonus round the payout can be less than x10 or even x0,x1, which means it gave nothing... What I always say, when playing slots, be it normal spins or buying bonus rounds, there are no guarantees.

Lately, I prefer normal spins. It can be great, especially when I hit the bonus round in just a few spins (more than once I hit the bonus round on the first spin). But when I get into tilt I start buying bonus rounds, it's a double-edged sword... sometimes I lose everything and sometimes I get lucky and hit some big wins.

Every session for itself... Many times I have gone from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars and lost it all in half an hour. Slots can be crazy in every sense, I can only repeat what I often say, slots can give a lot, but they can take a lot more.

I ended up losing around $47 dollars, I managed to withdraw $5 to my wallet from the $54 dollar win. 😭 By the way, I started the game with around $2 deposit 🤣.

You were lucky to win $54 with just $2 deposit and if I were on your place then I would withdraw at least $40 out of the winning and play with the rest of it to win even more. But, instead on playing that game on that day I would wait a week or two and then place my bets.

So, I am here to ask, buying a bonus and playing on normal spins in slot game, which so far, has been more profitable for or to you?

I have never bought any bonus on slot games but after reading many stories, I found that the ones with bonus might get much higher multipliers sometimes. I'm personally not sure so I can't say anything accurately. However, I would personally avoid bonus and play normal spin.
