Bonus-Buy Slots in Ontario: Availability, Feature Prices and Game Rules

Bonus-buy slots exist in Ontario lobbies, but their prices are not published on public casino pages: they appear inside the game, next to the buy button, at your current stake. In our check of 289 OLG.ca slot pages on October 19, 2026, the clearest case was Chicken Burst Megaways, whose description mentions bonus buy options, with an RTP of 94.25% and bets from C$0.20 to C$100, but no feature price. So the honest answer to “how much does the feature cost” is: open the game, read the price at your stake, and convert it into dollars before you press the button. This page shows how.

Which bonus-buy slots did we find in Ontario?

On OLG.ca, Chicken Burst Megaways is the title whose public game page mentions bonus buy options. Its page lists an RTP of 94.25% and a bet range of C$0.20 to C$100. Its description does not give a price for the feature.

We did not find a public list of bonus-buy titles at the other Ontario casinos we checked. bet365, BetRivers and Betty let you search their lobbies without logging in, but their tiles and search results did not show whether a game has a buy feature. The way to find out is to open the game’s rules.

Where is the feature price shown?

Inside the game, in two places:

• On the buy button or its pop-up, which shows the price at your current stake.
• In the rules or help screen, which describes how the feature works. Ontario’s AGCO standards require game rules or help pages to give comprehensive and accurate information on odds, payouts or returns to players, and on anything else that affects play, before a bet.

If the price is set as a multiple of the stake, changing your stake changes the price.

How do you work out what a bought feature costs?

Convert the multiple into dollars, then into spins. The examples below use made-up multiples to show the arithmetic; the real figure is in each game.

• Price. A feature priced at 100 times the stake costs C$20 at a C$0.20 stake and C$100 at a C$1 stake.
• In spins. The same C$20 would pay for 100 spins at C$0.20. At Ontario’s minimum of 2.5 seconds between game starts, 100 spins take a little over four minutes. Buying the feature compresses those minutes into one press.
• In expected cost. If the game’s rules give an RTP for the bought feature, the expected cost is the price times (100% minus that RTP). At a 96% feature RTP, a C$100 buy costs C$4 on average; at 94%, C$6.

A bought feature can pay less than its price. Treat the price as a stake, not as a ticket to a guaranteed bonus.

Is buying cheaper than spinning until the feature lands?

Only if the numbers say so, and you can check them. Spinning to a feature means wagering many stakes, but you lose only the house edge on them on average, and winnings along the way are part of the result. Buying means wagering the whole price at once. Using made-up figures: 150 spins at C$0.20 are C$30 wagered, with an expected cost of about C$1.20 at a 96% RTP; a buy at 100 times a C$0.20 stake is C$20 wagered in one go, with an expected cost of C$0.80 at the same RTP. The comparison depends entirely on the real multiple, trigger rate and RTPs in the game’s rules.

Do Ontario’s rules apply to bought features?

Ontario’s slot standards apply to the game as a whole. A slot must not present a return equal to or less than your last total stake as a win, and must show your session net position in Canadian dollars. Read plainly, the “last total stake” for a bought feature is the price you paid, so a feature that pays C$60 on a C$100 buy is a C$40 loss, whatever the animation shows. The other pace rules also apply: no autoplay, no turbo or quick spin, and at least 2.5 seconds between game starts.

Does buying the bonus change the game’s RTP?

Check whether the rules give a separate RTP for the bought feature or one figure for the whole game. Read the rules for the version you are playing, and compare the casino’s figure with the provider’s own game page. On OLG.ca, the 289 slot pages we collected showed RTPs from 86.0% to 96.95%, and Chicken Burst Megaways sat at 94.25%, below the other OLG.ca Megaways titles we recorded, which ran from 95.97% to 96.86%. Our guide to how Megaways slots work covers that family of games.

How we checked

We collected 289 public slot pages from OLG.ca on October 19, 2026, reading each page’s RTP, bet range and description, and searched the public lobbies of bet365, BetRivers and Betty from an Ontario connection on October 20, 2026. We did not log in or open games, so no feature price was visible to us.

What we could not confirm

• Feature prices for any Ontario bonus-buy title: they are shown only inside the game.
• Which titles at bet365, BetRivers, Betty and FanDuel offer a buy feature.
• Whether Chicken Burst Megaways states a separate RTP for its bought feature.

Open the game at the stake you intend to use. Read the feature price and convert it into dollars and into spins at that stake. Find the RTP in the rules, and look for a separate figure for the bought feature. Set a limit in your account that covers the price, and treat each buy as one large bet. Our guide to reading the paytable and setting the stake covers the rest of the rules screen.
