Bonus Buy Slots at Fortunica Casino

A high-volatility slot can run three hundred spins without dropping a single scatter. That is the problem the bonus buy feature solves: instead of waiting for the trigger, you pay a fixed multiple of your stake and enter the feature round on the spot. Providers label it differently — bonus buy, feature buy, buy feature — but the mechanic is the same everywhere. At Fortunica Casino, we have gathered every title in our lobby that offers it into one collection, and here we explain what you are paying for before you spend anything. If you would rather test it first, most of these games run in demo mode.

What you need to know about the Bonus Buy feature before starting to play:

Cost: a fixed multiple of your current stake, typically 50x–200x.
What you get: immediate entry to free spins, a hold-and-win round, or a bonus wheel
Same RTP as a natural trigger? Usually. Not always — check the table below.
Free to try: demo mode is available on most titles.

What Are Bonus Buy Slots?

Bonus buy slots are games with a purchase button next to the reels. Press it, pay the price shown, and the feature round starts immediately — no base game, no scatter hunt.

The feature exists because modern slots concentrate almost all of their win potential inside the bonus round. The base game is largely a waiting room. Big Time Gaming introduced the mechanic with White Rabbit in 2017, and it is now standard across the studios we work with: Evoplay, NetGame Entertainment, Endorphina, Slotopia, Platipus, Gamzix, and Mascot Gaming. Many of them put it directly in the title — Temple of Dead Bonus Buy, Wild Buffalo Hold'n'Link Bonus Buy, Ultra Coin Magnetic Bonus Buy — so you can see it from the lobby thumbnail.

How the Bonus Buy Feature Works

The panel looks slightly different from studio to studio, but the flow never changes. Five steps:

Set your stake first. The buy price is a multiple of it, so your stake decides the cost. Raise the stake, raise the price.
Open the buy panel — usually a coin or cart icon beside the spin button.
Pick a tier. Several games sell more than one. Zeus the Invincible offers a Risk Buy alongside the standard purchase; Temple of Thunder Hold & Win sells entry to its hold-and-win round rather than free spins.
Confirm. The amount leaves your balance immediately.
Play the round. The feature runs exactly as it would if you had triggered it yourself.

What the Buys Cost Across the Fortunica Casino Game Collection

The table below covers the most-played bonus buy titles in our lobby. It lists what the purchase actually gets you, which is the part most guides skip.

Game	Provider	What the buy gives you	Max win
Temple of Dead Bonus Buy	Evoplay	Free spins with expanding symbols	€ 753 825
Wild Buffalo Hold'n'Link Bonus Buy	NetGame	Free Spins or hold-and-link respin round	x3000
Budai Reels Bonus Buy	Evoplay	Free spins with locked multipliers	€375,000
The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy	Evoplay	Free Spins	€750,000
Ultra Coin Magnetic Bonus Buy	Slotopia	Bonus Games	€750,000
Irish Weekend Bonus Buy	Evoplay	Free Spins or Ultra Spin Bonus	€234,000

The pattern worth noticing: the buys that look expensive are usually the ones selling a hold-and-win or collection round, where the round itself lasts longer and carries more of the game's total return.

Is Buying the Bonus Actually Worth It?

Players argue about this constantly, and most casino pages dodge the question. We would rather answer it.

In the majority of games, a bought bonus pays exactly what a triggered one pays. The RNG has no memory of how you got there. But in some titles, the published RTP on the purchase is lower than the base-game RTP — the studio prices the certainty in. That is why the table above has an RTP column, and it is the first thing to check.

What genuinely changes is speed and variance. A 100x buy at a €0.20 stake costs €20. A €100 balance is five attempts, not fifty. You are making far larger, far fewer bets, so the swings are sharp in both directions, and a session ends much faster than it would at flat stakes.

Pros:

Guaranteed access to the feature — no dead sessions;
Fixed, visible cost before you commit;
Fast way to see what a game's bonus round actually does.

Cons:

Large outlay per attempt; bankroll drains quickly;
A few games pay a lower RTP on the purchase;
No base-game wins to cushion the cost;
Easy to chase one failed buy with another.

Bonus Buy or Natural Trigger?

Neither option is better in the abstract. They suit different sessions, and the table makes the trade-off plain.

	Bonus buy	Natural trigger
Cost per feature	Fixed and known	Variable — 20 spins or 400
Time to the feature	Instant	Unpredictable
RTP	Same, sometimes lower	Baseline
Bankroll swing	Sharp	Gradual
Playtime per euro	Short	Long
Suits	Testing a feature, short sessions	Low-stake sessions with patience

The honest use case: a bonus buy is an efficient way to see a round you are curious about. It is not a way to beat the game.

Bonus Buys, Bonus Funds, and Wagering at Fortunica Casino

This is where players lose money by accident, so read it before your first purchase.

Whether bonus funds can be spent on a feature buy, and whether that purchase counts toward wagering, is set out in the terms attached to each offer. Two rules cause almost every problem:

Max bet limits. If an active bonus caps your bet at a fixed amount, a 100x purchase can blow straight through that cap and void the bonus, even though it felt like one click.
Wagering contribution. Feature buys may contribute at a reduced rate, or not at all, depending on the promotion.

Tournaments and prize drops often exclude bonus buys as well. Check the terms of your active offer before you press buy — it takes ten seconds and it protects your balance.

Try Bonus Buy Slots in Demo Mode at Casino Fortunica

Every bonus buy title in our lobby that supports free play runs the purchase panel exactly as it does for real money. You choose a stake, buy the feature with virtual credits, and watch the round play out.

Demo mode is the cheapest way to learn a game's pacing: how long the round lasts, how often it pays nothing, and whether the higher tier is worth the jump. Winnings cannot be withdrawn. The one thing it cannot teach you is how a €20 purchase feels when it is your own money — that part only arrives with real stakes.

Start With One Purchase, Not Five

The bonus buy panel is the fastest route to the part of a slot that actually pays — and the fastest route through a bankroll. Try a game in demo first, set your ceiling, and buy once. The collection is in the lobby whenever you are ready.
