The Bought Round / when it is offered
where and when a buy appears

Not every game offers the round

An extra-stake control is a product a studio chooses to build and an operator chooses to enable, so it is not available everywhere. A buy may exist on one game and not its sequel, at one stake level and not another, in one market and not the next. The absence of a buy is not a fault and the presence of one is not an endorsement - it is a build and a jurisdiction.

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

An extra-stake control is a product built by a studio and enabled by an operator, so availability varies by game, by stake level, by market and by offer. A buy may exist at some stakes and not others, be withheld where a regulator restricts it, or be excluded under a promotion. Its absence is a build or a jurisdiction question rather than a verdict on the game.

four things that decide whether a control appears
decided bywhat it means for the reader
the studio buildthe control exists only if the title was built with it; a sequel can omit it
the stake levela buy is often available only above or below a set base stake
the marketa regulator may restrict an extra-stake product in a jurisdiction
the offera promotion can exclude a control even where the game has it
so the same game can show the control on one screen and not another4

Why the button is there, and why it is gone

Because the control is a product rather than a universal rule, a reader should read its presence the way they would read any other product choice. When it is present, it was built into the title and enabled by the operator; when it is missing, one of the two decided against it. This desk takes no view on whether a game should offer a buy. It only notes that the price a reader sees on one screen is a decision by two parties, and that the same round may be reachable for a different price - or not at all - one screen away.

Why the same game can price differently the same title, two placements screen A, a direct operator, market 1 a buy at 100x the stake is offered screen B, the same title, market 2 the control is withheld; only the base game runs screen C, the same title, an offer the control is present but the stake counts for no wagering one build, three prices: 100.00, unavailable, and 100.00-worth-nothing the build and the jurisdiction decide, not the reader
When a buy is not there
  • Check the stake level; a control can be gated to certain stakes.
  • Check the market; a regulator may restrict the product.
  • Check the offer; a promotion may exclude the control.
  • Check the build; a sequel or a variant may simply not have it.
  • Do not read the presence of a buy as an endorsement, or its absence as a fault.
This desk names no real game, studio, market or operator and prints invented examples. Whether an extra-stake product is available, and under what restrictions, is decided by each studio, operator and regulator and is outside the scope of this page.
