Slots: Buy Bonus, Do You Like It?

[mu_enrico]

Bonus round, free spins round, or feature round, is the most interesting scene in the slots game. Collect three or more scatters, and you will enjoy the different feel and the promise of a big win. However, nowadays, more and more slots providers try to cut the waiting game, to just instantly trigger the round if you pay 100x base bet. Thus, instead of 5000x max-win, you'll only get 50x max-win if you buy a bonus round.

Pros:
* No more "I did 300 (or more) spins but no free spins"

Cons:
* Quicker gameplay as you burn 100x base bet in advance for one bonus round

Some countries ban this buy bonus mechanics because it burns more money (related to the quicker gameplay) as you burn 100x base bet in just a few minutes/seconds. Normally, players have to spend more time to burn 100x base bet. So the question is, do you prefer normal spins or bonus buys? What's your experience/thought?
