Bonus Buy (Feature Buy)
Paying a premium to instantly trigger a slot's bonus round.
Full Explanation
Bonus buy allows players to skip straight to a slot's bonus round by paying a premium, typically 80-100x the base bet. While exciting, bonus buys have the same expected RTP as regular play. Some jurisdictions have banned bonus buy features.
💡 Example
Sweet Bonanza: R5 bet → R500 bonus buy for instant 10 free spins. Same RTP, faster action.
