Anyone who thinks there is no difference between a £100 bonus buy and a £100 for a spin I suspect does not quite understand the difference in psychology or addictive nature between the two. Bonus buy gives you instant grantification. You are getting to what most perceive to be the point of slots in general in the bonus round without the tedium of spinning to get it. This satisfies the urge to get to the "exciting bit" quickly and repeatedly for a significant cost.
I realise most cannot go anywhere near £100/spin, or even £5/spin which seems to be the standard these days on YouTube and it is far less aluring. I mean we all know how brutal most slots these days can be at <£1 per spin so the urge to go to £5 and higher is probably lower even for those who gamble a lot. Of course there are people for whom this will still be an irresistable urge but for those people I'd suggest removing of the bonus buys will pretty much be a meaningless act.
