Buffalo Rising Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

The buffalo is no stranger to being used as a theme for an online slot, and game providers are constantly turning to this glorious creature for inspiration when it comes to creating their latest potential masterpieces. In fact, in 2022, developer ELK Studios recently released Buffalo Toro, proving that there is still plenty of life left in this genre. While updating this page, we noticed that Blueprint had rebranded this game to Bison Rising Megaways. Whether this is due to some sort of licensing issue, we’re not quite sure, but if you want to try this slot out, it’s now going by its new name.

As we move over to the pays section of the game, it becomes clear that the lower value symbols are represented by the classic royal cards 9, 10, J, Q, K, and Ace. The higher value symbols consist of the moose, wolf, bear and buffalo, where a 6 of a kind win will pay 2x, 2.5x, 5x, and 50x respectively. There is a wild within the game, too, that comes in the form of the golden bison. This can only appear on the escalating upper reel and will substitute for all other regular symbols.

The range of stakes available to play Buffalo Rising on are very bankroll friendly, and you can spin the reels on this slot for as low as €0.10, with the bet sizes steadily increasing before reaching the maximum of €10 per spin. Finishing up this section, we have the return to player percentage, and slot lovers will be pleased to see that this has been set at a very fair and respectable 96.50%.

Base Game & Modifiers

The gameplay is set across a 6×6 reel format on Buffalo Rising Megaways, with an escalating upper reel in play above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Through this set up and the power of the dynamic Megaways mechanic, the game can generate up to 117,649 paylines on any spin. To create a win over this configuration, you will need to land a minimum of 3 matching symbols from left to right, with the win needing to first begin from the leftmost reel.

Cascading Reels

Players familiar with slots such as Extra Chill Megaways will know all about the cascading reels mechanic. Whenever you make a winning connection, the symbols involved in that win will be removed and replaced by new symbols that will drop down. This allows you to make further connections and build up a series of wins, with the reel cascades only ending when there are no other winning combinations on the reels.

Mystery Symbol

The mystery symbol is something that Blueprint has added to their Megaways slot titles to make them unique, and you can find this across a number of their games, including Irish Riches Megaways. These symbols can land anywhere in view at any time during your gameplay, including on the upper reel. Ideally, you want to see as many of these symbols in view as possible. Once the reels have stopped, the mystery symbols will transform into a randomly chosen symbol from the paytable. If you’ve got a lot of them in view and this changes to a premium symbol, then you could be in for a big win.

Buffalo Rising Megaways Free Spin Feature

To trigger the feature on Buffalo Rising Megaways, you need 4 or more of the diamond scatter symbols to land anywhere in view. If this is achieved, you are then presented with a choice of volatility for your free spins feature. The number of free spins you will start the feature with will depend on which option you choose for your free spins; you have the following choices.

15 Free Spins – Starts at X1 Multiplier – Additional Scatter +4 Spins.
10 Free Spins – Starts at X5 Multiplier – Additional Scatter +2 Spins.
5 Free Spins – Starts at X10 Multiplier – Additional Scatter +1 Spin.

These are the choices for a basic 4 scatter feature trigger. Extra spins are awarded for each extra scatter you trigger the feature with, and we have added the number of spins you will receive for these above. One more option is available to you for the free spins round, which is explained below.

Mystery Choice Free Spins Feature

The mystery free spins feature allows you to pick your amount of free spins and what level the multiplier will start at. Really what you are hoping for if you decide to take this risk is to pick the maximum amount of spins ( which is 15 ) and the maximum starting multiplier ( which is x10 ). This, of course, would give you an excellent chance of hitting some good sized wins in the feature.

You should be aware that you can quite easily pick the lowest amount of spins at the lowest multiplier, so if you have been playing a while to land the free spins, you could end up bitterly disappointed if you decide to take this risk.

After the drama of choosing how your free spins will begin, it’s then all about getting as many winning cascades as possible. Each time a winning cascade occurs, your multiplier will increase by x1 in value. So reaching a high multiplier can produce some massive wins.

Additional free spins can be awarded during the feature, and this is achieved by the diamond scatter symbols rolling in on the upper reel; this is the only reel that these symbols will appear on during the free spins, and no matter what your choice of feature was, the following can be awarded.

3 Diamond Scatters = 5 Extra Spins.
4 Diamond Scatters = 10 Extra Spins.

Bonus Buy Feature

First seen on White Rabbit by Big Time Gaming, the feature buy is also made available to players on Buffalo Rising Megaways for the cost of 100x your stake. Please be aware that this feature will only be available for players in regions where a bonus buy has not been restricted.

Buffalo Rising Megaways Slot Final Thoughts

We’re not sure that any Megaways slot could ever be classed as good as the original groundbreaking game Bonanza. Still, Buffalo Rising is entertaining and brings something a little different to the table by offering you the choice of volatility for your feature.

We always tend to pick the 15 free spins as we like a bit more entertainment time from our features, but if 5 or more scatters land, then it’s well worth the risk of the mystery feature as it’s not so bad if you’re unlucky and hit a lower amount. Of course, if you’re all about high volatility, you will risk it with the mystery feature every time.

Since the release of this game, there has been a clone of it released by Blueprint Gaming named Legacy of the Gods Megaways. So you may also want to check that slot out and see what you think.
