Is a €2000 return on a 200 bonus buy 1000x, or 10x?
Sick of seeing people buying a bonus for 200, getting 1000 or whatever back and calling it 500x etc.
Surely if you bet an amount the return should be calculated on the amount you spent.
Chip for example. Spends 2000x on a mental bonus, gets a 2800x return and posts a big Pikachu face with 2800x all over the thumbnail.
It's not a big win in my opinion, taking into account risk vs reward.
Easiest way to look at this is as follows
You're playing the game on a 20p stake and after 10, 100 or 1000 spins a bonus comes in and gives you a 2000x win. Your stake was 20p for the spin and as such the game just gave £400 and a 2000x win. It may have cost you £2, £20 or £200 in spins to get that bonus (based on the example values).
All you are doing with a bonus buy is consolidating the amount of spins it may take to get that bonus because as we know, that bonus may never drop within the example values. Via free play it may have come in but who knows.
In my view you are getting the x value win regardless of how much you spent to buy the bonus because when looking at it on free play spins does anyone ever go 'well done but it cost you x amount of your balance to get so let's take that into account'?. No, they don't.
I think Weemonk has nailed it. Happy to take the x times stake based on the spin size regardless of how it landed.
