Slots with an ante bet
An ante bet — usually 20–25% more expensive than the standard stake — roughly doubles the chance of landing scatters and opening the bonus. The return barely moves: the provider rebalances the maths so the house edge stays where it was, and the session simply gets shorter and sharper. Pragmatic Play popularised the option, and nearly all its bonus-buy hits offer an ante bet as the cheaper alternative to the button.
How this slice was built
12 games out of the 996 in the catalog. The industry has no shared vocabulary for mechanics: studios describe the same thing in different words, so this list is assembled from a normalised set of spellings found in provider specifications — ante bet, bonus bet, golden bet. If a game uses the mechanic but the provider never listed it, it will not show up here.
