What is Feature Buy?

A feature buy lets a player pay a fixed price — usually 60 to 100 times the stake — to enter a slot's bonus round immediately instead of waiting for it to trigger. It does not improve the odds. The published RTP for the buy is typically within a fraction of a point of the base game, so the money buys certainty of entry rather than value. What it changes is exposure per decision: a player who would have staked 1 unit a spin is now staking 80, and the same bankroll lasts a small fraction as long. Several regulated markets have banned the option outright, including the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, on the reasoning that removing the wait removes a natural brake. Where it exists, it is usually the fastest way to lose a balance in a game that would otherwise have taken hours.
