Let's start with the fundamentals, because the term gets used loosely: what is a slot with a bonus buy feature, and how do we test one?
A slot with a bonus buy feature includes a button that purchases instant entry to the bonus round for a fixed multiple of your stake, instead of making you wait for the trigger. The bonus — free spins or a Hold & Win coin round — is where the win potential concentrates, so the buy is a direct route to it.
At the casinos we rank, the feature buy appears in Dragon Gaming and Betsoft titles and some Realtime Gaming games. Many are Hold & Win slots (lock-and-respin coin rounds with jackpots), so buying drops you into the coin-collection feature directly.
We score three things: the buy price relative to the feature's payout potential, the published feature-buy RTP (almost always within half a percent of the base game), and whether the casino hosting it lets you actually use the buy. A great game at a casino that blocks buys with bonus funds is a frustrating combination — we flag it.
