Big Buffalo
Big Buffalo
Welcome to the Wild West – but not with all those uncivilised cowboys and gunfights – I’m talking about the vast deserts and arid landscapes where Big Buffalo slot from Skywind Group is set.
Will big wins abound from this angry-looking beast? Well, with 4096 pay-lines to play on, I would have thought so… Not as many as the Shimmering Woods slot, but even so, hardly a small number.
Not to mention re-triggerable unlimited free spins!
The Graphics
The great North American Buffalo is the theme of this game – so expect a lot of flared nostrils and horn-headed action. There are more beasts in this game than you’ll find on the Blazing Mammoth slot, and that’s saying something.
The gameplay is set in a canyon that looks a lot like Monument Valley with red desert and rocky buttes, while the soundtrack is an epic Native American tune full of panpipes and the sounds of nature. This all adds to the feeling of mystery…
Big Buffalo Slot Gameplay
Big Buffalo slot has 6 reels, 4 rows and comes with 4096 ways to win. Win ways will pay out in any position from left to right on adjacent reels. It’s not quite a Megaways like 8 Golden Skulls of Holy Roger but still, substantial wouldn’t you say?
Your pay-table icons are the wild animals that you’d find roaming the prairies, and include; a wolf, a cougar, a fox, the beaky bald eagle, plus our protagonist the buffalo. These will pay you out from 200-300 coins for landing 6x in a row. The grumpy buffalo will also land as stacked covering an entire reel. Bravo to the beast!
The low-value icons are 9, 10, J, Q, K & A from the card deck.
The wild is the valley icon and will land on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, while the Bonus symbol is the red and blue icon with ‘Free Games’ on it.
The Bonuses
Land 3x or more of the Free Games symbols and you’ll set off the main bonus. The number of spins you’ll receive depends on how many scatters you hit:
3x bonus symbols – 8 Free Games
4x bonus symbols– 15 Free Games
5x bonus symbols– 25 Free Games
6x bonus symbols– 100 Free Games
Imagine my dear chums! 100 Free Spins!
During the round, the Wild icon will also come with a x2 and x3 win multiplier. Combine these with the stacked Buffalo icons and your wins could be quite substantial.
Plus, you can re-trigger the Free Games indefinitely by landing further bonus icons.
The Monkey Verdict
Big Buffalo slot is a nice straightforward game with some excellent features.
Hitting 100 free games would be the dream! But the win multipliers, stacked wilds and medium volatility combined also make this an entertaining way to spin.
