Buy a Slot Bonus? How does Buy a bonus work on slot machines and is it worth it? Tech Explains!

I bought a 70$ bonus on coin trio
Won 800

I don't see myself using this feature. I'll play the bonus only if I activate it within the game but thanks for explaining this. I'd heard of it but haven't seen this option yet.

Playing in Tunica. Bought bonus three times. First two was below the cost won back about 75% of be. Third time won 9x times

Would be nice to see an example of buy the bonus

I brought one all three features went off i won 250, but lost it all 😢😢😢

You guys should do a video on this. Play one of these games and buy the bonus to see if it works. Problem is, on the videos I’ve seen it, $250 was the smallest buy in I think. It went up to $750 on some. So you have to bring a lot of money to do it multiple times. It’s like buying those expensive lottery tickets. You’re pretty much guaranteed to win something on them but it’s usually less than what the ticket cost.

No way! Unless it is on sale🤣🤣

I got VERY lucky on buying a bonus on Coin Trio. My first bonus was a $50 bonus on pennies. I won $64. Since i was up $14, I chose to do it one more time. I ended up getting the red coin which is 2x multiplier on every coin. During my bonus the $1100 major dropped and then the red coin came out again, and doubled it. It ended up being a $2400+ handpay. I took my money and ran! I have since bought a couple of more features with no luck what so ever. I have watched so many channels do this feature and get burned. Needless to say, I will take my winnings and be very happy I got lucky!

I played that feature years ago and it was terrible!!!

I love all y'all videos, but do y'all go to different states and play at their casinos? Because i live in Alabama and alot of games other states have, WE DON'T. I have seen a few videos of professional gamblers make videos about the best and worst casinos, and Alabama always make the #1 spot for the worst.

I'll just play natural.

My Friend freeplay and let her use freeplay i was surprised we won good bonus first time qnd than next 2 rimes where very bad

Yes on coin and piggy burst game only won half or lesd

I bought the bonus feature for $100 and won around 400. The second time, I won but did not cover the bonus feature. Won’t buy the feature again.

Heres a video idea. Do one on those little bonuses you get sometmes where you click the screen to win a mini or major etc. Its obvious for anyone playing long enough its already decided.

I saw it initially in online casinos, but I just recently saw it on a few games a mgm grand Detroit

If I had slots at my house I would be on those most of the time 😂

When my local got coin trio in, I happen to be there the day they turned them on. Slot attendants were egging me on to buy a bonus. I agreed IF my ticket went over $200. It eventually did, and ended up on the Pig coin trio. 60 cent wager, buy a bonus was $35. fortunately I got two 'pigs' and my bonus was like $42. It was fun, exciting, but probably won't ever do it again after watching this informative video. I did buy a bonus years ago on some butterfly machine, it was, shall I say, disastrous. I think what most people don't realize is, you pay a high amount but your bonus is only based on the wager that you are set to. In my case it was 60 cents, 35 dollars, and I won 42ish, so I was lucky!

Hey guys! Small request - can you guys a segment on the logistics on how the machine determines if it will pay or not? For example, a machine might pay out 90 percent, but when will it do that calculation to ensure it doesn't overpay? Does it know as you put money into the machine?

Your channel has made me a better and smarter slot player. I now read all the info, pay lines, heat trigger bonuses features etc etc. I have played “ buy a bounces” a few times. Only to find out it’s not a home run to wining. Keep up good work. Thank you sir

Thanks for the insight. I will be watching more, hopefully committing to memory when I enter the casino next time.

I fooled around with the Instant Feature on Coin Trio Piggy Burst on a variety of dominations and values on my last Vegas trip as I was up. In general, you do not get back your original bet amount (as Brantley explained the price is set a bit higher than the average bonus value). A couple times I won more than my original bet, but mostly you end up with less. One time I got VERY lucky on a $105 Instant Feature (2 cent denom) and I hit for $1772 (the Major was around $780 and landed twice). I agree that it is something to do for fun once in a while, when you are up. I would not expect to get your money back. Part of the fun/attraction is to see whether or not you actually get your money back, and most times you do not.

I tried it it’s hard to decide which multiplier to go ahead and buy.

The other casino vloggers should listen to you Albert just put $500 in the new piggy bonus machine and played not even making what it cost to buy the bonus and he tried several different machines. I've tried them - no I didn't buy a bonus and they were fun to play for awhile as the bonuses came more often - but you never won big and made your money back.

I've done it a couple of times. Once I profited but the second time I took a 75% loss. I've watched someone else and they took a 50% loss.

Saw someone do 25+ buys beteeen 350 and $500 on coin trio last time i was in Laughlin. Never won more than 2x the total bet

In my experience, you either get totally hosed buying the feature. For example, you spend $20 to buy a bonus and you win back 3 Or 4 or you spend $20 and you win $100

For me it depends on the price of the bonus. I don't go to the casino to get rich but I still like getting bonuses. It's not fun at all losing the same amount it would take to buy the bonus and never even seeing the bonus. So I would rather buy if the price is right.

You provide sensible information as well as it is helpful...
Thank you,
Constructive criticism here...
In your videos, things get repeated numerous times making the videos lean towards the monotonous .
Compels me to ho hum, then turn off.

Shorter, better.

No I have not but some of my friends have and they weren't too thrilled.
I've seen a few videos of people looking for slot machines that have unactivated or residual bonus features left on them from people walking away from the machine not knowing. How do these others identify them in the first place?
BTW love your videos. Very informative and easy to understand.

I had to try it at least once. I used $50 free play and got $40 back. Wasn't as much fun as I hoped.

Played deal or no deal and saw that feature, it gave 3 options $230, 550 and 750 i chose neither Lol

I did buy the bonus on Coin Trio once, it was $50 and I think I got $18 back 😅. Live and learn!

I did this once, paid $50, and won $77 back. Probably won't do it again though

I have used it and my wife has used it but mostly get paid less than the bet . once in a while it pays a little more but never seen it pay more than 3 times the bet.

I bought a bonus - felt fancy - it was $150 cost and it gave me a 5$ win lmao (never do that again) haha - if only i had seen your video first!

Thanks for posting this. I have been playing smart phone app slot simulator games and keep seeing that "buy a bonus" feature mentioned. I had no idea what it was. I guess a simulation with free points would be a good way to try it too.

I just seen a Deal or no deal machine with this feature on it. Cool to play but odds are way out of your favor.

Hi Cowboy! I am new subscriber to your channel and not sure where to ask questions, so I'm just gonna ask here. If a game has different denom options to play, 1cent, 5 cent, $1.00, etc. If your budget is to play $5.00 per spin is there an advantage to playing 1cent at the max for $5.00? Or the min of $5.00 on $5.00 denom?

Would you recommend using maybe free play for is?

Deal or No Deal has buy a bonus feature at Vegas. Used it a 5 times and 1 out of 5 times was a good bonus above purchase price. Use buy bonus for fun only because it can speed up the loss of you bank roll. Great video. Thanks!

I've done it 3 times and got 2 hand pays. The 3rd one gave me my money back and a little extra.

I bought a feature of $20 on .20 cent bet. The casino won't pay me for my winnings because they said that I bet more than $10 while using the bonus. But I didn't bet more than $10? I bought a feature on.20 cent bet. I didn't even win on it.
Please give me some advice if it's true that I was betting a more than $10.

❤❤😊😊

I have seen it before but i dont think if you lose.😊

I bought a 176$ bonus and won 75$

I bought one of these bonuses for the lowest amount it was $35 and I won the major and got over $900

Thank you! This is very helpful.

It's a terrible slot machine!
