Buffalos have always been animals that seem to fascinate punters around the world, with an immense variety of online slots made with them as the main star of the show! Diamond Link Mighty Buffalo takes this to the next level, adding a popular bonus mode and progressive jackpots into the mix. As for the visuals of the slot, a herd of Buffalo can be seen crossing a busy river, while the sun sets in the distance.
This slot was created by Greentube, a provider that may sound familiar to some punters. All of their releases tend to have a unique mechanic or aspect included within the game to keep things fresh. Some of their previous releases include Book of Ra Deluxe 10 Win Ways, Great Fortune, and Top O’ the Money – Pots of Wealth.
The least desirable symbols in Diamond Link Mighty Buffalo are the Q, K, and A symbols. Next up is a puma, a coyote, a grizzly bear, an eagle, and a bison. Should five of these match along a payline, players will be awarded with 3x, 3x, 6x, 6x, or 30x their stake size, respectively.
As for special symbols, there are a few to look out for. First is the wild symbol, shown as a sunset above a canyon, which can replace any standard icon to form a matching combination. Diamonds are the scatter icons in this game and are responsible for triggering the main bonus mode. Finally, there are coin symbols, which can transform into another icon randomly.
Diamond Link Mighty Buffalo was one main bonus mode. However, various other features can be triggered as a result. Players need to land a total of 6 diamonds to activate this mode simultaneously. If five diamonds appear during the same spin, a respin will be enabled, which gives the player another chance for the sixth to drop into play.
In both instances, a respins bonus mode will commence, with players receiving three free spins and all diamond icons being locked into place. Should an additional diamond land in play, it will also become sticky, with the respins resetting to 3.
During this mode, fixed-value diamonds, jackpot diamonds, or special feature diamonds can drop into place. When the player runs out of spins, or the board is fully covered, any potential winnings will be calculated and awarded to the player. Any bonus features will also be played out immediately after.
In total, there are four different jackpots in Diamond Link Mighty Buffalo, which are the mini, minor, major, and grand jackpots. The mini and major jackpots are worth 10x or 50x the stake size, with the major and grand jackpots being progressive, starting at 200x and 1,000x, respectively. It's worth mentioning that only the first three jackpots can appear in a diamond. Players need to cover the board in diamonds to be awarded with the grand jackpot value!
Now, let's take a look at the three different special feature rounds. First is a 'Wild Spin' diamond, which will award players with one spin with a random number of wilds being added to the reels. These will not be any wilds, however, as each will have either a 2x or 3x win multiplier associated with it.
Next is the sticky diamond, which awards one sticky spin, where any matching symbols will be locked in place. A respin will then be granted, and if the matching combination is expanded upon, the new icons will also be locked before another spin is awarded. This will continue until no more symbols match the existing combination.
Finally, there is a colossal diamond, which will award a spin where reels 2, 3, and 4 contain a giant symbol. There is a chance that this icon can be a wild and if it is, a 2x or 3x multiplier can also be associated with it, which will be applied to any matching combination that includes it.
Diamond Link Mighty Buffalo is an online slot that certainly doesn't lack in terms of features. While there is only one bonus mode, there are a handful of different symbols that are responsible for their own potential winnings or have unique mechanics!
