Bonus buy slots: what buying the bonus costs

A bonus buy lets you pay a fixed price to start a slot's free spins straight away instead of waiting for the scatters. The price is a multiple of your stake, commonly 100×, so a KSh 20 stake turns into a KSh 2,000 purchase.

Short answer

Is a bonus buy worth it?

Buying the bonus does not make a slot cheaper per shilling: the buy's RTP is close to the base game's. What changes is the size of each bet. At 100× a KSh 20 stake, a single buy at 96% RTP costs KSh 80 on average, the same as 100 normal spins, and the result swings far more.

How it works

How a bonus buy works

1

Choose the buy

The buy button shows the price for your current stake. Some slots offer two buys, for example a standard and a boosted bonus at a higher price.

2

The bonus plays at your stake

Free spins pay at the stake you bought at, so wins are measured against that stake, not the purchase price.

3

Check the buy's RTP

The paytable often lists a separate RTP for the buy. It can be a little higher or lower than the base game.

What it means: Compare the two figures before you buy.

Some casinos switch the buy off in their version of a slot, so a slot listed here may show no buy button where you play.

Cost Computed from the slots we list

What normal spins on these slots cost

Normal spins at the median RTP of these slots. A buy at 100× costs the same as 100 normal spins of stake at once.

Expected cost = bet × spins × (1 − RTP), at the median RTP of these slots, 96.10%.

FAQ

How much does a bonus buy cost?

The price is a multiple of your stake set by the studio, commonly 100×. Gates of Olympus, for example, charges 100× the stake for its free spins. At KSh 20 that is KSh 2,000 per buy.

Does buying the bonus increase my chances of winning?

It guarantees the bonus round, but the return per shilling stays close to the slot's normal RTP. Because each buy is so large, a budget can disappear in a few buys.

Can I use bonus money for a bonus buy?

Casino bonus terms often exclude feature buys or cap the stake while wagering. Read the casino's bonus terms first.
