Play Book of Ra Deluxe Buy Bonus Slot Game Online at LuckyWave Casino
Book of Ra Deluxe Buy Bonus is a slot game from Novomatic that was released in 2015. This title is available at LuckyWave and other platforms for British players who enjoy Egyptian-themed games. The game builds on the original Book of Ra, but adds a feature that allows you to buy direct access to the bonus round. This saves time, but costs extra per spin. The slot has five reels and ten paylines. The theme transports you to ancient Egypt, where you set out in search of treasures in ancient tombs. The ‘Buy Bonus’ feature is what sets this version apart from the standard version of Book of Ra Deluxe. You can pay to skip the base game and go straight to the free spins. By choosing this ‘Buy Bonus’ option for quicker access to big wins, you will inevitably spend your bankroll more quickly. The main drawback of this approach is that, to reach those bonus rounds straight away, you must wager 100 times the base stake each time.

How the ‘Buy Bonus’ feature works
The ‘Buy Bonus’ option appears as a button on the screen. LuckyWave users tap it and pay 100 times your current stake. This takes you straight to the free spins round. You’ll immediately receive ten free spins. Before the spins begin, the game selects one special expanding symbol. This symbol can expand to cover the entire reel and pays out in any position. The usual way to trigger free spins is by landing three or more book symbols. This can take many spins and cost a lot of money. The buy feature puts an end to this waiting game. However, you pay a high price upfront. Some players like this because they want action straight away. Other players prefer to play naturally and wait for the feature to be triggered automatically.

- Wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols
- Scatter payout in any position
- Free spins with expanding symbols
