Bonus Buy Feature: What You Need to Know

Bonus Buy (sometimes labeled “Buy Feature” or “Buy Bonus”) is a slot option that lets you pay a one-time price to jump straight into a game’s special round—most often Free Spins—without waiting for the symbols to land naturally. It’s built for players who want quicker access to high-volatility moments and bigger swing potential, especially on sessions where you don’t want to grind spins hoping the feature finally triggers.

At True Fortune Casino, you’ll see this mechanic on select titles—so it’s worth knowing exactly what you’re paying for, when it makes sense, and what to watch before you press buy.

How Bonus Buy Works (And Why It Changes the Session)

In a standard slot, the bonus round is “earned” by landing scatters or completing a collection. With Bonus Buy, you’re essentially swapping time for immediacy: you pay an extra amount up front and the game drops you directly into the feature.

That changes your session in three important ways:

1. Pacing: You skip the slow build and get straight to the high-impact part of the game.
2. Bankroll behavior: Instead of many smaller spins, you’re making fewer, heavier decisions.
3. Variance exposure: Bonus rounds often carry the wildest outcomes—great when it hits, unforgiving when it doesn’t.

Where You’ll See It: Stampede Gold’s Buy Feature Spotlight

Not every slot offers Bonus Buy, and even within the same casino lobby it can be title-specific. One clear example is Betsoft’s Stampede Gold Slots, which includes both Free Spins and a Buy Feature. With 1024 ways to win and a max bet listed at $24, it’s designed for big momentum shifts—exactly the kind of game where buying the feature can feel like cutting to the chase. If you want more game-specific details, see the internal review here.

By comparison, titles like Mandarin Tiger Slots and Pony Up Slots include Free Spins-style bonus action, but don’t list a Buy Feature in the game info—meaning you’ll typically need to trigger naturally:

• Mandarin Tiger Slots (Free Spins Feature)
• Pony Up Slots (Free Spins Feature + Bonus Round)

What You’re Really Paying For (And What You’re Not)

Bonus Buy isn’t a “better odds” button—it’s access. You’re paying for a guaranteed entry into the feature, not a guaranteed profit.

A few realities to keep in mind:

• The feature can still pay low. A bought bonus can underperform just like a triggered one.
• Cost scales the risk. The price is commonly a multiple of your stake, so one click can equal dozens (or more) of regular spins.
• RTP may differ by mode. Some slots run different RTP profiles depending on jurisdiction or game configuration. If the info panel lists multiple RTP settings, choose consciously.

When Bonus Buy Makes Sense (Smart Situations Players Use It)

Bonus Buy tends to fit best when your goal is feature-driven gameplay rather than long-form spinning. Players usually lean on it in scenarios like:

• Testing the feature quickly before committing to a longer session.
• Playing on a time limit and wanting immediate bonus action.
• Targeting feature mechanics (multipliers, expanding wilds, extra spins) that don’t show up often in base play.

The tradeoff is simple: you get speed and intensity, but you accept higher bankroll pressure per decision.

Bankroll Control: The One Rule That Saves Sessions

Treat every Bonus Buy as its own mini-session. If you wouldn’t be comfortable losing that buy-in cleanly, don’t click it.

A practical approach is to decide—before you buy—how many buys your bankroll can support. Because outcomes can swing hard, discipline matters more here than on standard spins. Bonus Buy is at its best when it’s a planned move, not an emotional chase.

Bonuses, Terms, and Bonus Buy: What to Check Before You Click

If you’re playing with a casino bonus, the key question is whether your wagering rules make Bonus Buy a good idea. Slots typically contribute fully toward wagering, while table games and video poker may contribute far less (or come with higher multipliers). And remember: many bonuses are non-sticky, meaning bonus funds may be removed when you withdraw.

True Fortune Casino also runs promos that can boost your starting power, including a 400% up to $2000 welcome offer (with wagering terms).

If you want to start risk-light, there’s also a No Deposit Free Spins option—50 Free Spins on Diamond Dragon, manually claimed after registration, with 150x wagering, 30-day validity, and a $50 max cashout. Just keep in mind that no-deposit offers often come with tighter limits and “one free bonus at a time” rules, so plan your promo path before stacking deposits and features in the same stretch.

Quick Safety Checks Before Buying a Feature

Before you purchase a bonus round, take ten seconds to confirm:

• You’re on the exact stake you intend (bonus price usually scales with it).
• You’ve checked the info panel for any RTP/config notes.
• Your promo terms won’t make the session awkward (non-sticky withdrawals, max cashout caps on free offers).
• You’re playing within your local legal requirements, since availability can vary by jurisdiction under a Curacao-licensed setup.

Bonus Buy is one of the most direct ways to get to the biggest moments a slot can offer—just make it a deliberate move, pair it with the right bankroll plan, and choose games like Stampede Gold where the feature action is the main event.
