What is a bonus buy (feature buy) in slots?

Bonus buy, also called feature buy, lets a player pay an upfront multiple of their stake — often 50× to 100× — to trigger a slot's bonus round immediately instead of waiting for it to land naturally. It gives instant access to the feature, with RTP tuned separately for the bought round.

Bonus buy appeals to players who want the high-variance feature without grinding the base game, and it raises average stake and session intensity. The bought feature is balanced with its own RTP so the option does not distort the game's overall return.

Regulation varies: several markets, including the UK, prohibit feature buy, so providers ship it as an option that operators can disable per jurisdiction rather than a fixed part of the game.
