Buffalo Bounty Slots
Buffalo Bounty is a simple online slot from the incredible creators at DragonGaming. I feel like rustic is a good word to use to describe this game visually. The game grid is laid against a North American wilderness, with an abundance of trees, and tall mountains in the background. The game grid background is even partially animated, with grass blowing gently along with the trees swaying. The symbols on this board feature an array of wildlife native to the Western world. This game is played with 10 total pay lines, and payers can land free spins, upgrades, expanding symbols, extra spins and win multipliers. The game grid itself is made of wood and each symbol features a different animal head.
Basics
DragonGaming is a newer software provider in the industry, but they know it takes a lot to win players over, especially with well established software developers like RealTime Gaming and BetSoft around. However, their slots are always flawless. There is a control panel located at the bottom of the game grid, and from there you can adjust your coin value. You can spin or auto spin, or mute the audio of the entire slot. You can max bet or access the pay table if necessary. The highest paying symbol is the buffalo symbol, and it pays 150 credits for a match of five. The second highest paying symbol is the bald eagle which pays out 100 credits for five. The third highest paying symbol is the ferocious feline symbol, which pays out 100 credits for five as well. The low paying symbols are the fox and gazelle, along with the card symbols. The lowest paying symbols are represented by a heart, a diamond, a club and a spade. The bonus scatter is a buffalo skull. This game is a medium volatility slot, and comes with a RTP of 96.03%. There are 10 total pay lines. When you're ready to place your bet, you'll have a wide array of bet options to choose from. The minimum bet for this slot is 0.2 credits and the maximum bet is 40 total credits. This game is available in demo mode, too. So if you prefer, you don't need to place a single real money bet til you're ready. This slot is adaptable for most mobile devices too, including tablets.
Special Features
During the base game, there are no wilds. However, if you trigger free spins, you might run into a wild or two during those rounds. You need to land at least three skull scatters to activate free spins. You'll start out with a batch of 10, and if you trigger more scatter symbols you can upgrade your free spins. There are four different upgrades that you can choose from. You can add a wild symbol where the buffalo, eagle or puma symbol. You can also choose for these symbols to expand in another bonus. You can also claim five free spins and win multipliers up to 4x your bet.
There is another bonus game you can activate during free spins. This bonus game can award you an instant win of 200x your bet, ultra spins with expanding wilds, and free games.
Summary
There are plenty of games that indulge in the beauty of North American wildlife, in fact it's a pretty cliche slot theme. I can name plenty of slots focused around buffalo and other wild animals, however Buffalo Bounty is truly something special thanks to its unique bonus rounds. The scatter symbols, and the upgraded expanding symbols make this slot extraordinary above all others.
