What Is Bonus Buy in Slots? How It Works

Bonus Buy (also called "buy feature") is a slot option that lets you pay a fixed price, set as a multiple of your bet, to go straight into the game's bonus round instead of waiting for scatters to trigger it. The price, the round you get and whether the button is there at all depend on each game. This guide explains how the price is worked out, how a bought round compares with a natural trigger and what to check before you press the button.

How Bonus Buy works

  1. Set your bet as you would for a normal spin.
  2. Open the buy option. The game shows the price, usually written as a multiple of your bet.
  3. Confirm. The full price is taken in one go.
  4. The bonus round starts at the bet size you chose, with the same rules as a round triggered by scatters, unless the game says otherwise.

How the price is worked out

The price is always "bet × multiple". With an example multiple of 100x:

Bet per spin Example multiple Price you pay
RM0.50 100x RM50
RM1 100x RM100
RM2 100x RM200

The 100x here is only an example. Each game shows its own multiple, and some games offer more than one buy option, for example a standard round and an enhanced round at a higher price.

Bought round vs natural trigger

  • Timing: a natural trigger needs enough scatters on a spin; a buy skips the wait.
  • Cost: a natural trigger costs nothing extra beyond your normal spins; a buy costs its full price up front.
  • Round rules: usually the same bonus round, but some games give a bought round a different starting setup.
  • RTP: the game's info page sometimes lists a separate RTP for the buy option. Our slot RTP and volatility guide explains what that figure means.

Why some games have no buy button

Bonus Buy is a feature the game studio builds in, and it is not part of every game. Some titles never include it, and in some versions the option is switched off. If you do not see the button, that version of the game does not offer it.

Bonus Buy and bonus turnover

If you are playing with promotion credit, two questions matter: whether bonus funds can be used to buy a feature, and how a buy counts toward the turnover requirement. Log in at go2win.bet, then check with live chat: what live chat confirms is what applies.

FAQ

What is a bonus buy slot? A bonus buy slot is a slot that lets you pay a set multiple of your bet to enter its bonus round straight away, instead of waiting for scatters to trigger it. The price is shown in the game, usually as a multiple of your bet. Not every game has the option, so check inside the game.

How much does a bonus buy cost? A bonus buy costs your bet multiplied by the game's buy multiple. At an example multiple of 100x, a RM1 bet makes the price RM100, a RM0.50 bet makes it RM50 and a RM2 bet makes it RM200. Each game shows its own multiple, and some games offer more than one buy option.

Is a bought bonus round the same as a triggered one? Usually yes, a bought bonus round is the same round you would get from scatters, played at the bet size you chose. Some games change the starting setup or offer an enhanced version at a higher price. The game's info page explains it, and sometimes lists a separate RTP for the buy option.

Why can't I find the buy feature in a game? You cannot find the buy feature because not every game includes it, and some versions have it switched off. Bonus Buy is a feature the game studio builds in, so some titles never have it. If you do not see the button, that version of the game does not offer it.
