Can I buy a bonus with Pick & Click
Text:
1. How the bonus purchase works
Activator: a button or menu in the slot interface that allows you to select the "Buy Bonus" option.
Cost: expressed in multiples of the current rate (for example, 50x, 75x, 100x or more).
Instant launch: Once paid, the game automatically moves to the Pick & Click screen.
Conditions: in some slots, the purchase is available only at certain rates or at certain limits.
2. How the purchase price is determined
The price is calculated based on the mathematical expectation (EV) of the bonus, taking into account its probability of falling out in a regular game. The developer multiplies the cost of the conditional "rarity" of the bonus by a coefficient that takes into account volatility and potential gain.
The rarer the bonus in a regular game, the more expensive it is to buy.
The higher the average bonus win, the higher the price.
3. Impact on RTP and volatility
RTP: In some slots, when buying a bonus, the return percentage may be higher or lower than in a regular game. This depends on whether additional developer margin is included.
Volatility: Usually higher, as the player immediately invests a large amount for a potentially large gain, bypassing the minor payouts of the base game.
Variance: Increases as the result of the bonus is unpredictable and the investment in the purchase is large.
4. Pick & Click formats available for purchase
Fixed selection: a set number of clicks at once and a fixed structure of prizes.
Random number of clicks: increases variance and potential gain.
Multi-level bonuses: purchase gives access to the first level, and further promotion depends on luck.
Progressive Pick: In rare cases, buying allows you to play for the jackpot, but more often such formats are not sold directly due to regulation.
5. Restrictions and regulation
Jurisdictions: In a number of countries, the feature of buying a bonus is banned (for example, in the UK) due to the high level of risk and instant large bets.
Responsible play: Buying a bonus requires careful bankroll management - a single tap can cost tens or hundreds of bets.
6. Advantages and disadvantages

Disadvantages:
7. Strategic points
RTP check: It's worth finding out if it's different when you buy a bonus.
Comparison of price and average winnings: if the average result of the bonus is close to the purchase price, the risk is justified only at high potential.
Volatility accounting: with high variance, both series of large winnings and long periods without payback are possible.
Result
You can not buy a bonus with Pick & Click in all slots, and this option is available only in games where the developer has provided a Buy Bonus function. Buying allows you to instantly move to the interactive stage with a choice of items, but requires significant investment and readiness for high volatility. For an experienced player, this is a way to speed up the gameplay and try to realize the potential of the bonus, and for a beginner, a risky strategy that is best used with caution and only when understanding the mathematical foundations of the game.
- Buy Bonus (Feature Buy) is a feature in some slots that allows you to launch a bonus game, including the Pick & Click format, immediately, without waiting for the desired character combination to appear. The player pays a fixed amount, after which the bonus is activated instantly. This mechanic became popular due to the time saving and the ability to immediately go to the most interesting stage of the game.
