Theme of The Game
Its name gives it away, so the theme of Buffalo Ways shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s a slot machine that puts the mighty buffalo in the main role, while as supporting characters we find a number of other wild creatures that live in the same regions as it does. It looks like a regular wildlife inspired game, without too much to make it special.
Moving on to symbols, first we have the six low paying Royals (starting with the 9, and going up to the A). A Raccoon, an Eagle, a Deer, a Bear, and the Buffalo, will be the main symbols when it comes to actually getting you paid. The Diamond Wild and the Free Spins Ruby will be the feature triggers.
Developer
Buffalo Ways is the result of a collaboration between Microgaming and Gong Gaming Technologies. The latter is the developer, a company that has just 16 or so slot machines released up to this point. They have a couple of memorable ones already though, including Skulls Heap and Maya U Max, to name just two recent ones.
How To Play It
The complete range of your bets, which you can use in Buffalo Ways, will go from $0.40 to $20. Not the cheapest around, but it’s not the most expensive either.
It comes with a fairly large game area, which uses 6×4 reels in total, with 4096 active ways to win. Just 3 or more consecutive reels, starting from the left, need to have matching symbols on them, in order for a prize to be paid.
Special Features
A Diamond Wild will show up on the last five reels of Buffalo Ways. From those reels, it can be a substitute and it helps winning combinations form that much easier. It just needs to be on a reel where it can do some good, and it will be part of all wins, since the ways to win system doesn’t require fixed positions for winning combinations to form.
Probably the biggest feature that Buffalo Ways has to offer, the free spins have the best potential, just because of the huge number of rounds that can be claimed. With a number of 3 to 6 Free Spins Ruby scatters present at the same time, you receive between 8 and 100 free spins. To retrigger them, you need just 2 or more scatters, and you get 5 to 100 more spins each time.
An advantage for the free spins, is that there are now multiplier wilds used, boosting wins they contribute to by a random amount (2x, 3x, or 5x).
Maximum Payouts
Buffalo Ways is the type of game that can really make a difference, at least in theory. Given its high volatility, this sort of slot machine is risky for most players, but some may be able to walk away smiling. A top jackpot worth 12,000x the stake would do that for most people, and it could mean up to $240,000 cash in this case.
The RTP will go as high as 96.04%, but I’d double check this number, since a lot of Microgaming slots have RTP ranges lately.
Summary
Buffalo Ways is a good game for players that enjoy free spins. Not only are there hundreds of such rounds that can be claimed, but multiplier wilds are also added to the mix, and the potential is very good as a result.
