Isn't it crazy that people with no issue have to see their slots removed/changed to help people that shouldn't be playing casinos in the first place?

And isn't it crazy that games producers are creating games with such bad base game play, and terrible bonus frequency.
That buying a bonus became necessary, in the first place?
Did anyone force you to play those shitty games? I simply don't play them, why would you?

That was spent in daysAnd not on gambling
There’s only one place, under the cloak of darkness, that a Glaswegian can spend that money in a night or two....

Or maybe they just thought that adding Buy A Bonus would appeal to some people...

That's only because the base games are so low variance that it wouldn't work to have a high variance feature popping up too often. The base game RTPs of some of these slots must be approaching 60-70%

I think you have to manually click in Thunderkick's case, but I'm fairly sure Thunderkick games are literally the fastest playing games in existence if you manually quickspin. Even faster than Pragmatic. Say good bye to your money.

IMO - this is exactly one way how we can judge good an bad casino behaviour - those leaving to the last minute are just trying to screw every penny possible, and will be hoping they can get some converts from the more reputable sites

Not quite relevant - some people can drive perfectly safely after two pints - others cannot.
Ths issue is not just about problem gambling - it is about casinos being fair. TBH it is no different than the restrictive but player protective rules set by the UKGC for Blackjack and other table games. (Such as not being able to split on certain numbers, and not being able to double down on any hand - these rules all increase return to player - not profit to casino)

Maybe unanswerable currently, however, if the feature buy coins remain, will those already earnt at individual sites be honoured or would everything would be reset back to the default(s)?

Would have though VS would have been very quick off the mark to remove the buy games after their 1 million slap on the wrist
but seems they want to be the last to do so, makes you wonder if they are just in it for the money...
or is it just me being cynical

Not sure what you are talking about.
Sure, the spin goes superquick, but then its a 3-second delay until next turbospin.

UK is 2.5 seconds from the top of my head, Sweden is 3 indeed for each spin. But "the governor" is from Norway if I'm not mistaking, so yeah, he can play ultra fast turbo spins. I don't see it as buying a bonus in disguise as I still see a basegame happening with potentially also big pay outs.

Yeah, i was just kidding a bit.
I do think the turbospins are way to fast tho.
Wheres the fun in playing slots if you dont even have the time to see whats happening.
Might as well buy the bonus then. =)
The simple fact is that feature buy is the most responsible way to make a 4 euro bet or higher (I think that is the smallest feature buy I have seen).
That is a fact nobody can deny, so there is no room for hate here. You can't hate something that can be used for good.
Of course there is also the temptation to do higher and irresponsible bets. Can't deny that either, but the solusion is a simple one: set max bet.

I dont like the buy-feature, not because of the price, but because most slots with the buy feature are close to impossible to land a bonus by just playing.
I still play some of them, like genie jackpots megaways, and sometimes vikings unleashed, but landing a feature is like bonanza difficulty x10

I actually find genie slot quite easy to bonus on. Just most bonuses pay next to nothing .It is one slot i would never buy a bonus on as chances of even breaking even are slim.

Landing it in just the basegame never happens for me.
I need the genie to spice up the reels with some extra bonus symbols for it to land.

Doesn't matter if they remove it early or in the last minute, as long as it's before the time runs out.

VS already have the no feature buy versions, at least Extra Chilli does.
The coin progress is still the same but the Buy button is no longer clickable.

Why are the buy bonus buttons disabled for non-UK players? Wtf?
I wasn't initially really bothered by this topic since it doesn't affect me but apparently it does .. I get literally no benefits from UKGC but I still get the negatives?

Presumably it’s a temporary solution until they can have fixed versions for different jurisdictions. Simpler to disable the buy button until more significant changes are complete.

Seems that the NYX version has disabled the buy feature for every jurisdiction but I can still buy it on the Quickfire version of Extra Chilli.

Minimum game time in the UK is 3 seconds so these wont exist in the UK anyway.

really? Pragmatic games can spin instantly for me.
Pragmatic are the worst for fast play, the VS Battles are testament to this. Merely hold down the spacebar for insta-balance destruction, whereby £20 can go in under a couple of minutes on minimum bet.
Nothing about 3-second gaps, but certainly laggy in places, after several spins. Whether that's server-related or some timer effect kicking in, who knows. Who cares

Tried no buy chilli,lost interest in the game as I thought i would, a few hundred games with no bonus and knowing
if i got one it, i would not want to gamble it and it would end up with 5x if lucky.Was my favorite game ... cheers UKGC, why cant

The blueprint slots with "buy a feature" option will finally be shown for the load of crap they are.
Unless they somehow make the feature more likely to drop in.
Made sense to make the feature very hard to land when there was a buy option, it would tempt people to buy them, but now that option is gone, and all that is left is a shitty basegame that is bonanza-level hard to land a feature in.

I can think of plenty of games I can spin in under 3 seconds, most the playngo catalogue for a start, pragmatic too.

Just got an email from every casino I have an account with. along with a huge pat on the back they all gave me £50 NDB
"Why?" you ask
well because you saw it here first about blocking the buy but leaving the game, along with the reduction coins. Could have saved hundreds of posts and many sleepless night's for players
*If I don't big myself up once in a while, no one else will

I wonder will it also change the RTP on those slots?
I mean the ones where the feature buy is now greyed out.
Will the overall RTP settings differ? As it would change the volatility of the slot, as no feature buys available.

The future buy will defenitly have an impact on overall play on that game or slot. Lol. This is stupid.

Think all buy games have gone at VS, tried Chilli again, game seems pointless now,
after 30 mins switched to Red Tigers Jackpot Quest, played dead for 15 mins then dropped £550
on a 60p spin so I am not too unhappy about not being able to buy features today.

It shouldn't as apparently they are completely independent things.
