Bonus Hunt

Online Casino Bonus Hunts

Most online slots are rather simple when you break them down into their basic elements. Almost all of them consist of a base game and some sort of bonus feature - be it a free spins round or a jackpot bonus of some sort. For most gamblers, playing slots involves trying to trigger a bonus feature and, hopefully, landing a big win. For a gambler, there are few things that are as exciting as entering a bonus feature.

At some point, someone in the streaming world thought of the brilliant idea of collecting bonuses and opening them all at the very end rather than playing them through once triggered. Basically, this means that, once the bonus is triggered, the player closes the slot and moves on to the next one and then repeats the process until all money has been spent.

Bonus Hunts: How Does it Work?

As explained previously, doing a bonus hunt is fairly straightforward. You simply play a slot until you trigger the bonus, then close it down and repeat the process until you've spent all the money in your balance. Once done, you go back to each triggered bonus and open them one by one. In the end, you will have the final result of your bonus hunt. Hopefully, it will be a successful one, but as you know, there are no guarantees when playing slots. Now, approaching slots this way doesn't change the outcome in any way. It doesn't improve your chances of winning, and the result would have been the same as if you'd played the bonus directly.? However, doing a bonus hunt may add some excitement and thrill to your gambling sessions. Not only is it a sort of challenge to see how many bonuses you can collect with your set balance, but there is also a lot of excitement involved in opening all the bonuses towards the end of your run.

Casino Streamers & Bonus Hunts

Bonus hunts are extremely popular in the casino streaming scene on Twitch and Youtube. All the big streamers do them regularly and often with massive balances. However, it is important to understand that streamers often play with unlimited deposit bonuses with special terms offered to them by the casinos as part of an agreement to promote them. Sadly, there are also a lot of streamers playing with fake funds and it's impossible to know which ones are real and which ones are not - just use your common sense when watching.

Bonus Hunts: What You Need to Know

Before you decide to get started doing bonus hunts of your own, there are a few things to remember. It can be wise to keep your bet size at a reasonable size, otherwise, there is a big risk you'll end up with a disappointingly low number of collected bonuses. Therefore, doing a bonus hunt may require some discipline and planning. Chasing bonuses on highly volatile slots, for example, will generally require a whole lot more spins than doing it on low to medium volatile slots.

Another important point to remember is that not all game providers are suitable for bonus hunting. Red Tiger, to name one provider, doesn't save bonuses. This means that when you go back to the game, the bonus round won't play, and any winnings will already have been added to your balance. Providers that do save bonuses include Netent, Games Global, Big Time Gaming, Blueprint, Quickspin, Play'n'GO, Merkur, Push Gaming, Pragmatic, Amatic, Endorphina, Thunderkick, Relax Gaming, Light & Wonder, Yggdrasil, Nolimit City, iSoftbet, Slotmill, Stakelogic, and AvatarUX.

Online Casinos & Bonus Hunt Terms

Another thing to consider before trying it yourself is to make sure that bonus hunts are allowed on your casino, especially if you are playing with bonus money. Most online casinos have no issues with the activity, but some can be grumpy and so to be on the safe side, always go through the terms and conditions or ask customer support. If you are playing with bonus cash, you probably shouldn't do bonus buys, and there will most likely be a max bet restriction in place,

Have Fun & Happy Hunting

Please remember, gambling should be a fun activity. If you are not having fun and feel stressed about losses, it is important to take a step back and cool down. If you feel in control, doing a bonus hunt now and then can be a fun activity that brings some extra thrill to your sessions. There are many ways to go about it. For example, you can compete with a friend and see who is able to collect the most bonuses with the same amount of cash, or rather, who ends up with the most cash.
