What Are Bonus Buy Slots?
Bonus buy slots have become a major trend in online gaming. They allow players to purchase immediate entry into a bonus round for a set multiplier of their base game bet. Instead of waiting for a lucky spin to land the right combination of feature trigger symbols, players can jump directly into the most exciting part of the game.
This mechanic saves time and delivers the slot’s full potential without long grinding sessions. It typically increases volatility during bonus buy play, offering players the potential for bigger but less frequent wins. For operators, bonus buy features are equally attractive, as they generate immediate revenue with higher bets and often increase average session times.
QuickX™: How It’s Different
At Tom Horn Gaming, we’ve taken the concept of bonus buy further with QuickX™, our proprietary mechanic that redefines how players access the most exciting parts of a slot. QuickX™ is not just a shortcut. It’s a flexible system that allows players to customise their entry into bonus rounds or play with selected win multipliers.
Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach of standard bonus buys, QuickX™ offers multiple entry levels into bonus plays. Players can choose different win multipliers or dive straight into specific features, tailoring the gameplay to their own appetite for risk, reward, and bonus buy cost that best suits their pocket.
And here’s where QuickX™ truly stands apart: unlike traditional bonus buys, where players purchase a single bonus round, QuickX™ sessions last until the player decides to end them. This creates a smoother flow of play, heightens suspense as the action builds, and amplifies the thrill of chasing big wins. For operators, it also translates into higher average bets and increased revenue, as players remain engaged for longer.
This added layer of choice and control doesn’t just enrich the player experience. It also helps operators build stronger engagement and sustainable player retention.
Benefits of QuickX™ for Operators
QuickX™ was developed to elevate the player experience while being designed with operator performance in mind. By giving players immediate access to the features they enjoy most, it drives higher engagement and naturally leads to longer play sessions. Since players can select different QuickX™ paths, they often experiment with higher stakes, which results in increased average bets and a rise in ARPU. The feature also appeals strongly to bonus buyers and high rollers, a player segment known for its value and willingness to take risks.
In short, QuickX™ is not just an instant thrill mechanic, but a retention driver that translates into measurable business growth.
Why Players Love QuickX™ Slots
For players, the appeal of QuickX™ lies in control and excitement. Instead of waiting for, for example, scatter symbols to land, they can enter the feature instantly and enjoy the most thrilling parts of the slot at will. Unlike standard bonus buys, where a single round ends the fun, QuickX™ keeps the action running until the player decides to stop, creating a more immersive and suspenseful experience.
QuickX™ enhances the gameplay experience, offering players greater control and the chance to enjoy the most rewarding parts of the slot in their own way. Whether they prefer shorter bursts of excitement or longer, more immersive sessions, QuickX™ gives players the freedom to shape their own experience.
