Oh my gosh, this was SO fun! We loved watching all the bonuses. We also loved learning we probably don't want to buy bonuses 😂 Thanks for another fun video!
Yeah… conventional wisdom says that buying the bonus on a machine often doesn’t hit the equivalent of what you pay for it (though it totally can if it’s a really good bonus). But, like all forms of gambling, it’s a form of entertainment and I am not going to lie, it was a lot of fun to bypass the spins and just get straight to the bonus. So I will probably do this again and make another fun video on the next trip. But… as you saw, I don’t think any of those bonuses ever went higher than the $35 we paid for them. -Paul
I never thought I would see you guys do an all "buy a bonus" video! It was exciting to watch!! I wanted you to hit it BIG. Have a wonderful New Years!!! All the best in 2025!!🎉🌅❤❤
It was all Paul’s idea, but we’re looking at doing something like it again in the future. I can’t believe how long the $100 lasted. Happy New Year to you as well! -James
Wow, I actually didn't know you can buy a bonus. It would be tempting to buy every once in a while. Maybe the little gnome inside don't like it when you go straight for the bonus😅. Best part of the video: the "Big Red" song! I was singing along LOUD with you both.Wifey was laughing at me. LOL 😂. Always fun with you both. Salud 🍻
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂 We are definitely millennials. That Big red song, mentos, and just about any other jingle is our jam. We like to sometimes watch those throwback commercial compilations here on UA-cam when we get bored 😂😂😂 Buying a bonus can be fun, but risky. And I will say this, even when we did this at The D, we lost way more buying the bonus than we did profiting on it. -Paul
Hi Guys, I'm sorry getting back to you so late. I'm also glad you made it to Las Vegas. I tried one of those instant bonuses and of course I got the same results as you. However It was something new to try. I found Vegas over Dec. 22-25 was incredibly busy. And a lot of very pushy people, I must say that I'm not very anxious to go back. I am however going to keep watching you both and giving big thumbs up because your fun to watch and I enjoy it Happy New Years. 🎉🎉🎉 Tara
We didn’t actually make it to Vegas during the original trip. We’ve got it rescheduled for the last week of this month. I’ve finally got my voice back. The instant bonus is fun, but definitely not something I would do all the time. But once in a while, it’s a cute little experiment. Vegas crowds can be absolutely brutal. I’m sorry that you had a rough experience. I often find myself overwhelmed with the amount of crowds myself. I hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable though! Thanks as always! Happy new year! -James
I sometimes wonder if the games with the buy a bonus feature make so it's more difficult to get the bonus naturally. I would never buy the bonus, I watch a lot of slot players on here and it almost always seems they're chasing the buy in. But, as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.
Truth. I will say that you probably have the same amount of odds to hit the bonus naturally. Especially because when you buy the bonus you are betting quite a bit more than a standard bet just for the privilege of skipping to that bonus. We were playing the lowest bet possible for buying a bonus, and that was $35 per bet at 1 cent. Assuming that same math, and the fact that we love playing 5 cent, that would make it a $175 bet to play that same feature at 5 cents. Assuming normal play on 5 cent, getting a natural bonus with close to $200 seems doable. Doesn’t always happen as you see each week when we post our slot play videos, but it’s also why a lot of slot experts like Cowboy say that buying the bonus is never a good idea. We just wanted to try this experiment because it’s different and playing the same “we put $100 in a machine” may be our usual go to, but sometime you just gotta switch it up. -Paul

Fun content with the all features!
It was definitely a fun time! I wouldn’t do it often, but I’m open to giving it a shot again in the future.

That looked like so much fun.
It did end up being pretty fun. We’re looking at doing something like it again in the future.

Hope you enjoyed this one!
Happy New Year to you, my friend! Thank you for your continued support!
-James
@JamesandPaulTryitAll Oh yeah! The highlight was you guys singing the Big Red jingle. Happy New Year to you, too. Are you and or Paul over your cold?
@ we are feeling better, thank you! I almost have my voice back completely.
-James
Let me guess, you guys voted for Kamala Harris 😂😂😂
I think that’s pretty obvious 🤷♂️
But not quite sure what any of that has to do with playing slots?
