Late to this but still relevant I think. The thing most people miss is when it comes to Virgin Games and Thunderstruck II.
Free spins sound great until you read the maximum win cap. Most cap out at £2 to £5 per spin which limits actual value significantly.
Bonus buy features let you purchase the bonus round directly. The maths is the same as triggering it naturally but front loaded.
EV check on Virgin Games welcome bonus: With 40x wagering on a £100 bonus, you need to stake £4000. At a 4% house edge that costs £60 to complete. Expected value: £60. Negative EV — treat as entertainment cost, not profit opportunity.
