Slot machines like Sweet Bonanza are the new trend. These slots offer players the choice to buy the feature of the game instead of waiting for it to randomly trigger.
In particular, Sweet Bonanza offers you the ability to buy the bonus feature for $200. At this rate, you get ten free spins. You would think it is expensive, but it is cheaper.
A typical spin at the highest bet is $100. If you activate the feature, you get ten spins at the price of $200.
Sweet Bonanza is not the only slot machine that offers a buy feature. In this article, we will show you several that you certainly must look into.
1. Fireborn Slot
Fireborn allows you to buy the feature for €20.00. At this rate, you are betting €0.10 per line. The buy feature gives you 10, 12, or 15 free spins that carry ferocious dragons (special symbols). However, the volatility of winning is “extreme.” It means that landing a winning combo is rare, but the pay is high compared to typical payouts.
Fireborn is a 5×5 reel slot machine. Here are its features:
- Wild – can substitute for all the low-value and high-value symbols in the game. The wild symbol may carry a multiplier value. If several wild symbols with multipliers are part of the same payline, the multiplier values are all included in the payout calculation.
- Dragons – there are red, blue, green, and gold dragon symbols. Each dragon has a different feature. For example, the gold one shoots fireballs at wild symbols that increase their multiplier values. The blue one, on the other hand, “breathes” on regular symbols and turns them into wild symbols.
There is a bonus round that gets triggered by the symbol if it appears three times on the grid. This is the bonus that you can also buy. If it gets triggered, you get to play with freespins. The number of free spins you get is 10, 12, or 15.
2. Vampire Riches Double Max
A game by Yggdrasil, this game makes it possible for you to double your multiplier in every win. The multipliers, in addition, do not reset if they appear in the free spin’s round.
Vampire Riches is a 5×3 slot machine, and here are the features:
- Free Spins – land three free spins symbols to trigger the bonus round. This feature is what the slot offers in the Buy Bonus feature.
- Extra Wild – the wild symbol is a replacement or substitute for all regular symbols. In every winning spin, an extra wild appears on the grid.
- Multipliers – you get double the win in every winning spin. It resets back to nothing once the last spin no longer has a winning combo.
The slot also has an avalanche feature. In every winning spin, the slot removes the winning symbols, and they get replaced with new ones. On top of that, the slot places an extra wild symbol on the grid in a random spot.
The Buy Bonus does not have the same cost, as there are several options. There are three types, and they depend on the “vampire” you want to buy. You can get 7, 9, or 11 freespins in the buy bonus feature.
3. Mystic Spells
Mystic Spells offers two types of free spins bonuses. The first one is the Black Spell where the special symbol turns into a 3×3 multiplier that can hit up to 100x. The second one is the Sticky Spell where the wilds are sticky, and the wins get added to the next spins.
Here are the features of the game:
- Wild – it can land randomly on any slot and substitute for regular symbols to make a winning line.
- Black Spell – a special symbol that triggers a multiplier of up to 100x. It is also a wild symbol, and you can only land a maximum of three in every spin.
- Keys – there is a black key and a Golden Key. These keys are scatter symbols that trigger the free spins bonus rounds.
For the Buy Bonus, you can buy them at prices according to your bet per line. You are essentially buying either the Black Spell or the Sticky Spell freespins round.
4. Lotus Warrior
The Lotus Warrior is a 5×4 slot grid with a Golden Bet. The Golden Bet essentially doubles your chance of triggering the feature or the reward.
Here are the slot’s features:
- Wild – substitutes for all regular symbols. It cannot substitute for the scatter symbol.
- Scatter – represented by the lotus flower, it triggers the free spins round. You can get 5 to 15 free spins.
- Expanding wild – if you are lucky, the wild symbol will expand and cover two to four slots in the same reel.
The free spins, or the Sakura spins, as the game calls them, are a kind of free spin bonus where you get a guarantee that each spin will win a bigger prize than the previous one. During this round, you could also land a Lightning Bonus symbol, which adds more freespins.
There is also a Samurai spin where a wild symbol adds new wilds to the pot (there is a pot for a super spin bonus jackpot). This type of bonus also grants you some multipliers.
There are many types of free spins, and the bonus feature here is that you can purchase any of them instead of waiting for them to trigger randomly.
Final Thoughts
The buy feature of a slot is ideal for people looking for extra fun and bigger wins. With these slots, you can improve your winning odds and also experience features that you normally would not get in a normal spin.
What you can do now is try the demo version of these games. Test the slot machines and do the calculation. Is buying the feature worth it or not? We say that it is worth it, but then you have to see it yourself!
