THEBONUSBUYSLOTS

The option to pay directly for a feature round is a relatively recent development in casino game design. Big Time Gaming is widely credited with popularising slots bonus buys through its Feature Drop mechanic in 2018, and competing studios adopted similar tools within a year. Before that, players had no choice but to wait for scatter symbols to land naturally. The idea spread quickly because it addressed a long-standing complaint about dead spins in high-volatility games.
