Golden Buffalo Double Up Slot Review + Demo | iSoftBet

Golden Buffalo Double Up Review

Slot developer iSoftBet jumps into the niche of buffalo-inspired games as they introduce Golden Buffalo Double Up, where players are once again taken to the wild prairies to hunt for big wins. Here, players will benefit from loads of bonus features and extras, including Multipliers, Jackpots, and Free Spins that pay up to nearly 6,000x the stake.

Golden Buffalo Double Up - Slot Outlook

Design-wise, Golden Buffalo Double Up doesn't differ too much from slot games with a similar theme. The backdrop here showcases windswept North American plains and a sky full of glittering stars that illuminate the scene. Overall, it has a well-executed design with sharp graphics, although certain questions may arise when it comes to the theme's originality. Anyway, dominating the view here is a large 5x4 reel set that produces 1,024 ways to play on each spin, and players can drop into the action from any device.

Golden Buffalo Double Up Slot - Reels Screen

Offering bets from $0.2 to $20 per spin, the Golden Buffalo Double Up slot is powered by a medium-high volatile math model, which should appeal to the mainstream audience. The RTP here is solid at the industry's average of 96%, and wins should occur fairly often according to the decent hit rate of 32.2%, meaning that nearly every third spin will theoretically be a winning one. Speaking of wins, players can scoop prizes of up to 5,998x the stake on a single spin here.

As we head over to the paytable, we see 11 regular symbols that are split into two categories, namely highs and lows. The lower pay symbols consist of classic A-9 royals, and the premium lot includes in ascending order tomahawks, war bonnets, eagles, wolves, and golden buffaloes. The latter is the top-paying symbol among the regulars, and on top of that, it can land stacked on the reels randomly during any spin. Helping you to score wins is the Wild symbol that lands only on reels 2-5. It substitutes for any other regular symbol in the base game, plus carries a random multiplier during the bonus which increases the winnings.

Golden Buffalo Double Up - Bonus Features

Most wins in the Golden Buffalo Double Up slot come via the Bonus Wheel, which is triggered when at least 3 Scatter symbols land in view simultaneously during the base game. 3, 4, and 5 triggering Scatters award 1, 2, and 3 spins on the wheel respectively, where players can win the following prizes:

• 8, 10, 12, and 15 Free Spins
• Mini Jackpot - 50x the stake.
• Major Jackpot - 100x the stake.
• Grand Jackpot - 1,000x the stake.

If a player wins Free Spins, they're played immediately after the Bonus Wheel feature. During the free games, Wild symbols can land with Multipliers of 2x or 3x that are applied to all wins they take part in. Moreover, Wild symbols can Multiply each other to deliver a Multiplier of up to 27x.

You can also access Bonus Wheel via the Buy Bonus feature, which gives 1, 2, or 3 spins on the wheel for a certain cost.

Last but not least is the Double Up feature that increases your chances of hitting a bonus. With the Double Up feature activated, your bet is doubled, and Scatter symbols land in 1x2 size. The probability of triggering the bonus is 1 in 200 spins by default but rises greatly to 1 in 115 with the feature enabled. However, it reduces the hit frequency slightly to 30.3%.

Golden Buffalo Double Up - Slot Verdict

We've seen numerous buffalo-themed slots so far, with the most decent representatives being Buffalo Blitz and Buffalo King slots, and it seems unlikely that iSoftBet's Golden Buffalo Double Up can follow their success. Well, don't get us wrong, it looks and plays pretty well, but there's little originality in it both in terms of the design and gameplay. The features laid down here are what we've seen countless times in other slots, yet they get their job done, bringing a healthy dose of excitement to the gameplay, not to mention pretty nice prizes. All said and done, Golden Buffalo Double Up is a fairly enjoyable slot capable of delivering solid wins, but not enough to make waves among slot enthusiasts.
