Bonus Buy pokies
Here2Win Best Games with Bonus Buy
Bonus Buy lets you pay to reach a pokie's bonus play instead of waiting for it. I've lined up six that list it for Here2Win Casino readers, sorted by provider, RTP and swing size.

The idea
Bonus Buy in plain words
Bonus Buy is a shortcut some pokies list: rather than waiting for the bonus round to land, you pay a price set by the game to go straight into it. That price is higher than a standard spin, so I treat it as a budget decision first and a feature second. It guarantees nothing about what the round returns.
For Here2Win Casino visitors weighing a buy feature, this page gathers six pokies that list one: four with high volatility and two with medium. Each has its own page for the detail, and the wider shelf sits on the game overview.
RTP and volatility come up a lot below. RTP is the share of stakes a pokie returns over a very long run, an average that says nothing about tonight. Volatility is the spread of results: higher means wider gaps between them. The full scale is on the Pokies Starter Guide.

Side by side
Provider and swing size, game by game
Four high-volatility pokies and two medium ones. For more high-volatility choices beyond these four, the Big-Swing Pokies page has a wider set.
Gates of Olympus
Pragmatic Play's Greek-myth pokie puts gods and gems on the reels, lists bonus rounds alongside Bonus Buy, and carries the highest RTP of the six at 96.5%. High volatility means a wide spread of results, so plan the budget before you plan the session.
- Pragmatic Play
- RTP 96.5%
- High volatility
- Bonus rounds
- Bonus Buy
Apocalypse Super xNudge
Nolimit City brings a dark apocalypse mood, and the listed feature is Bonus Buy. RTP is 96.03% with high volatility, so what you're choosing here is the atmosphere and a buy option that costs more than a normal spin.
- Nolimit City
- RTP 96.03%
- High volatility
- Bonus Buy
3 Pots of Lunar Wolf: Hold and Win
Betsoft sets animals in a winter scene and lists bonus rounds plus Bonus Buy. At 96.1% RTP it sits almost level with Apocalypse Super xNudge, and it shares the high volatility.
- Betsoft
- RTP 96.1%
- High volatility
- Bonus rounds
- Bonus Buy
Bar-X Safecracker Megaways
Blueprint Gaming's jewel-themed Megaways pokie lists Bonus Buy. Its 95.5% RTP is the lowest of the four high-volatility games here, and the reel format is worth a closer look in the Megaways note below.
- Blueprint Gaming
- RTP 95.5%
- High volatility
- Bonus Buy
Big Catch Bass Fishing Christmas
Blueprint Gaming again, this time with playing-card symbols and fish, and both bonus rounds and Bonus Buy listed. Medium volatility narrows the spread compared with the high four, yet 93% RTP is the lowest of the six, three points under Bonanza.
- Blueprint Gaming
- RTP 93%
- Medium volatility
- Bonus rounds
- Bonus Buy
Bonanza
Big Time Gaming's goldmine adventure lists bonus rounds and Bonus Buy, with 96% RTP and medium volatility. It is the steadiest pace on this shelf.
- Big Time Gaming
- RTP 96%
- Medium volatility
- Bonus rounds
- Bonus Buy

Bonanza
Medium volatility, 96% RTP, a goldmine adventure with bonus rounds and Bonus Buy.
If you want my pick for a first Bonus Buy pokie to read about, I'd start with Bonanza: medium volatility spreads results less widely than the four high-volatility games, and 96% sits mid-shelf on RTP. That is a way to plan a budget, not a promise about how any session will run.
Megaways on this shelf: Bar-X Safecracker only
Megaways uses a dynamic reel modifier: reel height and the number of ways to win can change between spins, as Big Time Gaming's Megaways explainer describes it. Among these six, Bar-X Safecracker Megaways is the one listing the format, so its grid doesn't keep the same shape from spin to spin.
Add high volatility and a listed Bonus Buy, and it deserves the same careful session budget as the other high-volatility games here.
Before you buy
Set the budget before the buy button
A buy costs more than a standard spin, so a handful of purchases can use up a session budget faster than you'd expect. Decide the total up front, stop when it's spent and don't top up to win it back. That is the pattern to avoid. My longer notes on limits and warning signs sit under Responsible Gambling.
A buy is a game feature, separate from any casino promotion. If a bonus is running, read its wagering terms on Here2Win Casino promotions before buying a feature.
Pokies are entertainment, not income. If play stops being fun, call the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655, or reach 1737 any time. In an emergency, dial 111.
Take your shortlist to Here2Win Casino
Pick one or two of the six, fix a session budget, then head over to the casino.
