Bonus-buy warning
The bonus-buy feature on Mahjong Ways 2 in PH-variant operator deployments is a trap. Observed RTP drops from 96.95% (normal play) to 94.9% (bonus-buy invoked). Filipino players should never use bonus-buy on Mahjong Ways 2 unless they understand they are accepting a 2+ percentage-point RTP degradation in exchange for bonus-round acceleration.
