Affiliate disclosure. The partner link in the masthead and in the band beside the copy on this page is a sponsored link to a partner operator, and this site may be paid if you open an account through it, at no extra cost to you. It carries rel="sponsored noopener" and opens in a new tab. A desk about what a round costs should not leave its own funding unsaid: one link funds the site, no game, studio, operator or person is named, rated or recommended anywhere on it, and it prices no real product.
The Bought Round / legal
risk warning and scope

Legal and risk warning

This desk is explanatory content for adults. It describes, in general terms, how an extra-stake control changes what a round costs and what it can return. It is not financial, legal or tax advice, it recommends nothing, and it names no real game, studio, operator or person. Gambling can be harmful; the controls that exist to limit it are set inside an account.

The control platesample A / 1,200 extra-stake rounds, four controls
feature buy100x stakeBuys one whole round at a fixed price. The stake moves from 1x to 100x in a single decision; the return is the bought round's, not the base game's.
ante bet+25% per spinRaises the price of every spin a little and the stated chance of reaching the feature a lot. It makes a non-triggering spin dearer and can make the route to the feature cheaper.
super stake2x per spinDoubles the stake for roughly double the quoted chance. It changes the size of the bet and the variance, not the expected cost of reaching the feature.
gamble0 until a winCosts nothing to be offered, then stakes a win on a double-or-nothing. It is the only control here that can take money already won and put it back at risk.
four controls, one thing in common: each changes what a round costs, and none changes what it can return beyond the game's own mathematics.
Direct answer

This desk is educational content for adults about the controls that change what a single round costs. It is not financial, legal or tax advice for any jurisdiction, it recommends no control, it names no real game, studio, operator or person, and every figure on it is illustrative and derives from ten invented samples. Gambling can be harmful; if it stops being a pastime, free support is available.

Scope

The desk explains a mechanism: a control that changes the price of a round, and the arithmetic that prices it. It does not advise on whether to gamble, on whether to use any control, or on any product, operator, market or jurisdiction. Rules around extra-stake products, returns, maximum wins and wagering eligibility differ by game, studio, operator and regulator and are outside the scope of this desk. Where a page names a figure, it is invented.

Accuracy and figures

Every number on this site is illustrative and is derived from the ten invented samples stated on the overview page. No figure is observed from a live game, an account or a real product. Where the desk shows arithmetic, it shows it so a reader can re-derive the number; the arithmetic is correct for the invented inputs and is not a claim about any real product.

18+ and responsible gambling

This content is for adults only. Gambling can be harmful and it can become a problem; responsible gambling means never staking money you cannot afford to lose and never chasing a loss. Never stake money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase a loss. The tools that exist to keep play under control - deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion - are set inside an account rather than on a page about them, and most operators and regulators provide them. Free and confidential help is available in most countries for anyone whose gambling has stopped being a pastime, and for the people around them; national gambling-support helplines and services can be found by searching for the gambling support service in your own country.
