Buffalo Grand Slot

Buffalo Grand Slots

Aristocrat’s Buffalo slot is undeniably one of the most popular and widely played slots worldwide. Attempting to surpass that with a sequel is no easy task, but that is precisely what the Australian-based game developer is striving to achieve with the Buffalo Grand game.

They are definitely going all-in in their endeavor, utilizing the same cabinet as the one used for the Britney Spears slot – a massive 42” full HD curved display officially known as arc double, which garnered numerous awards in 2015 upon its release. It boasts a fully touchscreen interface with nearly lifelike quality animated CGI graphics, full surround sound, and a chair so comfortable that I could easily use it at my desk!

Theme & Features

The game features a 4/5/5/5/4 reel format with re-triggering free spins, 5 progressive jackpot levels, familiar Buffalo wilds, high-quality video cut scenes, a bonus game reminiscent of a wheel of fortune, and a wide betting range from 75 to 375 credits.

All the classic game symbols are present in this game with enhanced graphics and animated sequences. Buffalo, Wolves, Deer, Mountain Lion, and the American Eagle are among the iconic images of the American wild that adorn this wild west-themed slot game. The lower value icons include traditional 9-Ace playing card symbols, which, given the available bet multipliers, can also be quite rewarding in larger combinations.

Undoubtedly, the main attraction of the game is the free spins round. The gold coin scatter triggers 8, 15, or 20 spins for landing 3, 4, or 5 on the reels, respectively. During the free spins, the 3D animated Buffalo wilds randomly offer multipliers of either 2x or 3x. What makes these spins particularly lucrative is the ability to retrigger them with 3 or more scatters and to add 5 spins with just 2 scatters, potentially resulting in up to 50 free spin games!

Free spins are not the only bonus feature of the game. Landing three of the wheel bonus triggers transports you to the jackpot wheel round, starting with a captivating video scene of an American Eagle soaring over the western plains above a herd of stampeding Buffalo. The wheel spins to either award you a start to the free spins or one of the game’s progressive jackpots. The four smaller jackpots can be augmented by earning an extra spin, which adds a jackpot multiplier, heightening the excitement and anticipation of the round.

Summary

Regarding sequels, Aristocrat seems to have a hit on their hands. This version retains all the playability and beloved features of the original game but with modernized cabinet, enhanced graphics, improved sound, and added features.
