Play Lord of the Ocean Buy Bonus Slot Game Online at LuckyWave Casino

Lord of the Ocean Buy Bonus is a slot game from Novomatic that was released in 2019. This title takes players on a journey into the deep sea, featuring ocean gods and ancient treasures. At Lucky Wave, British players have access to this game with the special ‘Buy Bonus’ feature, which allows users to skip the wait and start the free spins straight away. The game features a 5-reel, 10-payline layout, with expanding symbols that can fill entire reels. By selecting the ‘Buy Bonus’ option, players gain immediate access to the bonus round, but in doing so they forgo the natural thrill of triggering it during the main game. The main drawback of this feature is that, in order to reach bonus rounds quickly, you have to accept higher costs per spin.

How the ‘Buy Bonus’ feature works

The ‘Buy Bonus’ option changes the way you play this ocean-themed game at LuckyWave. Instead of landing three or more scatter symbols naturally, you can pay a fixed amount to start the bonus round straight away. The cost is 50 times your base stake. As soon as you activate the feature, you’ll automatically receive 10 free spins. Before the spins begin, one symbol is randomly selected to receive a special feature. This selected symbol expands to cover all three positions on the relevant reel when it appears. The expansion only takes place if the symbol can form a winning combination. Expanded symbols do not need to appear on adjacent reels to pay out, which increases your chances of winning. The trade-off is clear. By buying the bonus round, you skip the excitement of the base game, but you spend more money upfront. A stake of $1 means $50 to buy the feature. This amount can disappear quickly if the free spins do not yield good results. The feature does not guarantee a win.

Key symbols and their values

These are the main symbols you’ll see appearing on the reels:

Ocean God – The highest-paying standard symbol
Treasure Chest – Second-highest paying symbol
Amulet – Medium-value symbol
Playing cards (10, J, Q, K, A) – Lower-value symbols
Temple Column – Scatter that triggers free spins
Ocean God – Also acts as a wild and substitutes for other symbols

Strategic considerations for British players

The Buy Bonus feature suits various playing styles. Players who enjoy short sessions at Lucky Wave will appreciate it because it gets the action started quickly. The downside is that you’ll use up your bankroll faster than with regular spins. Regular play costs less per spin but requires patience. You might have to spin 100 or 200 times before you naturally land three scatters. Some sessions end without the free spins round ever being triggered. The base game remains engaging enough, with the Ocean God wild helping to secure wins. For British gamblers on a limited budget, the standard way of playing is the wiser choice. Your money will last longer and you’ll get to experience the full range of games on offer. Players with a larger bankroll can use ‘Buy Bonus’ to test the free spins feature or go in search of the expanding symbol several times in a single session. The RTP of 95.10% applies to both playing styles, but will affect your results in the long term. This payout percentage is below the industry standard of 96 per cent. By accepting this lower RTP, you gain access to Novomatic’s tried-and-tested game design and the popular theme of maritime mythology.
