Two ways to speed up bonuses and how they affect stake and RTP.
Ante bet ("double bet") raises your normal stake (often by 25%) in exchange for a higher chance of triggering the bonus naturally. Bonus buy gives the bonus round instantly for a large fixed stake. Both increase variance; RTP in these modes is usually close to the base game, not higher. The choice depends on bankroll: ante bet is gentler, bonus buy is more aggressive and burns funds faster.
