The Skywind Group takes us to the desert and the home of the buffalo of the game’s title. No surprises to see the Buffalo as the game’s highest paying symbol and key to the biggest wins available on this slot. In that way Big Buffalo pays homage to the Win-A-Beest slot from Play ‘N Go, along with Serengeti Kings and other wildlife themed slots.
- Win up to 100 free games.
- Free Games feature can be retriggered indefinitely..
- Stacked symbols make for multiple winning combos.
- Low RTP at 92.5%.
- High minimum bet compared to many other slots.
- Paytable uses coin value rather than bet value.
The Wild symbols can randomly multiply wins x2 or x3, and the Free Games feature can lead to epic wins with up to 100 free games up for grabs.
How to Play
If there is a negative regarding the Big Buffalo slot it lies in its insistence on using a 40 coins-based bet system, meaning that you must divide your bet by 40 in order to work out the paytable payouts. It doesn’t necessarily matter, and is more like the systems used on classic slots like Thunderstruck II and Mermaids Millions, but it is just something to look out for when you access the paytable and try to work out your winnings.
Select your bet level from the bet toggle next to the spin button, hit the spin button and match symbols adjacently from left-to-right to win the payouts for those symbols. As the game plays out over 4,096 Ways to Win and all symbols appear stacked, this can lead to multiple winning combos on any given spin. Landing three or more Free Games Scatters launches the Free Games feature, as described in the bonus section.
Symbols
The Buffalo is appropriately the top-paying symbol in the Big Buffalo slot, awarding a 300 coin payout for landing six adjacently. The Eagle and Wolf, Coyote and Wildcat come next in the paytable stakes, awarding 250 and 200 coins respectively for landing six symbols from left-to-right. The Big Buffalo online slot follows other adventure slots like NetEnt’s Jumanji with the use of rather more standard 9s through Aces as the game’s low paying symbols, which award between 100-150 coin payouts for six adjacently. These lower symbols are kept up in Wild West style, however, to keep with the Arizonian theme. The Wild symbol appears on reels 2-6, substituting for all symbols except Free Game Scatters, which appear on ever reel.
Bonuses
Big Buffalo boasts a single bonus feature, but with 100 free games on offer it has potential to provide one heck of a bonus.
