Big Buffalo

For players that simply can't get enough of online slots set in the Wild West, Big Buffalo is here to add another title to the mix. One of the most prominent aspects of this title is the array of visually appealing features, with the board only filling a portion of the screen. Due to this, players can see the highly detailed background that consists of rocky formations against a cloudy sky. 

This slot was produced by Skywind Group, a company that has a considerable wealth of experience when it comes to creating entertaining online slot machines. They have released over 200 titles since they started in 2012, with their portfolio of games including Sticky Sevens Megaways, Gold Shot, and Book of Gems Megaways. As these examples demonstrate, Skywind love to include popular mechanics in their releases, with Megaways being one that they regularly incorporate across their slots.  

The first thing to know about symbols in Big Buffalo, is that they appear stacked across the reels, meaning that either 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the same icon are grouped together. When looking at the symbols themselves, the standard 9. 10, J, Q, K, and A icons all make a return, with a matching combination of 6, awarding up to 150x the stake size. 

Next up are the premium symbols, represented by a lynx, a fox, a wolf, an eagle, and finally, a bison. Should six of these match along a payline, players will be awarded with 200x, 200x, 250x, 250x, or 300x their stake size, in that order. 

Like in most online slots, there are also a couple of special symbols included in Big Buffalo. Up first is the wild symbol, shown as a rocky formation, that can also appear fully stacked. It's worth mentioning that wild icons can only land on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The final special symbol is the scatter icon, which is a red poster with 'Free Games' written on it. It's this symbol that is responsible for triggering the main bonus mode.

There is only one bonus mode in Big Buffalo, which, as many punters will expect, is based on free spins. This mode can be triggered if 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols appear simultaneously, awarding players with 8, 15, 25, or 100 free spins in total. During this mode, symbols will remain stacked just like in the base game, too.

When free spins play out, there is the possibility for wild symbols to land with a 2x or 3x multiplier associated with them. This multiplier will be applied to any matching combinations that include the relevant wild symbol before the potential winnings are awarded to the player. More than one wild multiplier can appear per spin, with the two values being added together before being applied, if they both appear as part of the same combination. The mode can also be retriggered indefinitely, with no maximum cap being set on the number of free spins that can potentially be played. 

In conclusion, Big Buffalo is a visually appealing slot with a simple user interface. While there is only one bonus mode, the potential to win up to 100 free spins can certainly help to keep players entertained. In addition to this, the mode can be retriggered indefinitely!
