Game Overview

Once a game provider has reached a certain number of titles in their portfolio, it’s almost as though they go through the paces to make sure the most common niches are then all covered. These include Egyptian, Greek, Western, and the topic of today’s review, Buffalo. The latest developer featured at Demoslot to be dipping its virtual toe into this market is Belatra, with its Big Wild Buffalo slot, a 5-reel game with 25 paylines, an RTP of 96.03%, and a maximum win of 5,000x.

Whilst the base game may be a little light on features, the one that is present within it is certainly worth talking about, as these are buffalo wilds that always nudge into full view when they appear, with each nudge increasing the multiplier of the wild up to a maximum of x4. Then, we have two main rounds that can be triggered. The first is a free spins feature that includes a global multiplier that is applied to all wins, and the second is a hold and spin bonus, where modifiers can increase your winnings, and four jackpot values are up for grabs.

Where will this rank on your list of buffalo-themed slots? Will it be a winner? Or one to forget? Find out and take our free Big Wild Buffalo demo slot for a few spins.

Big Wild Buffalo Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Big Wild Buffalo slot paytable

It’s always a quandary when suggesting what other buffalo-themed slots to play because, for the most part, many of them are the same, just packaged slightly differently. However, thankfully, that’s not always the case, and a couple of releases to check out that bring something new to the table in this slot niche are Blueprint Gaming’s Buffalo Rising Megaways and Nolimit City’s Buffalo Hunter. Are we going to see something along those lines in Belatra’s Big Wild Buffalo? Let’s get into the gameplay and find out starting over at the pays section.

Taking the top spot on the paytable is the Wild Buffalo, which, along with substituting for all other regular symbols, will return 10x the bet for a five of a kind win. Next, we have a Wolf at 8x, an Owl worth 6x, with the Elk and Goat rounding out the premium symbols, sharing returns of 4x the bet for a full line of five. That just leaves the lower pays to tell you about, where you’ll find the Ace, King, Queen and Jack, all with equal payouts of 2x the bet if five form part of a winning combination.

Those seeking out some real money gameplay on Big Wild Buffalo can join the action at an online casino from just €0.25 a spin, with the maximum stake reaching €50. There aren’t as many options as I’d like to see within this betting range, but this still shouldn’t cause any issues for the majority of those wanting to try the slot.

Big Wild Buffalo Slot Base Game

Big Wild Buffalo slot base game

Big Wild Buffalo is set across a 5×4 reel formation where players have 25 fixed paylines active. Landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels beginning from the first reel will award the corresponding value from the paytable.

Wild Buffalo

Whenever a Wild Buffalo symbol lands in view, it will always nudge into a full reel position; each nudge adds a +1 multiplier to the wild. If more than one wild is part of a winning combo, their values will be added together, and the win will then be multiplied by that value.

Big Wild Buffalo Slot Bonus Features

Big Wild Buffalo slot free spins feature

Players can trigger two bonus rounds in Big Wild Buffalo. These are the free spins feature and the Hold & Win bonus round. Let’s take a look at each of these individually below and see what they have to offer.

Free Spins Feature

When a scatter symbol lands on each of the reels 1, 3, and 5, the free spins bonus will be triggered, and 8 free games will be awarded. During this bonus, a global multiplier is in play, and randomly, at the start of any spin, buffalos may appear on each reel and increase the value of the multiplier by +1 each. There is a chance to win more spins, too, with two scatters awarding 1 extra spin and three scatters adding 3 more spins to your total, up to a maximum of 100.

Hold & Win Bonus

When six or more cash symbols land on the reels in the base game, the Hold & Win feature will be triggered, and three respins will be awarded. Each time a new symbol lands during this bonus, the respin count will be reset to three. Special symbols may also appear to help increase your winnings. These are:

The Donor: Adds his winnings to all other cash symbols.
The Magnet: Attracts the winnings of all cash symbols.
The Moon: Means that not a single winning symbol has fallen out.

In Hold and Win Bonus, you can win one of the Extra Bonuses if the cash symbols have filled 1, 2, 3 or 4 lines on the reels.

If the cash symbols have filled 1 line, Mini Bonus is assigned.
If the cash symbols have filled 2 lines, Minor Bonus is assigned.
If the cash symbols have filled 3 lines, Major Bonus is assigned
If the cash symbols have filled 4 lines, Grand Bonus is

Pros

Two bonus rounds and nudging wilds in the base game.
Fixed jackpots can also be won.

Cons

No bonus buy.
Low max win of 5,000x.

Big Wild Buffalo Slot Review Final Thoughts

The buffalo-themed slot niche is saturated, as we all know, but Belatra has still managed to produce something relatively creative in this genre, which is worthy of a few spins at the very least.
