Crazy Buffalo

Crazy Buffalo Review

Built on a 5x4 grid, which is pretty much the gold standard for video slots, Crazy Buffalo offers conventional combinations formed from identical symbols from left to right, starting from the first reel. But instead of the usual 10-50 paylines, you get 1,024 Ways to Win, which almost doubles in the bonus game. Here, you benefit from a decent RTP of 96.5%, without taking too much risk, thanks to the medium-high volatility.

To play a round, you first need to decide on the size of your bet, and the Crazy Buffalo slot offers a wide range of options - from €0.60 to €600 per spin. There are many card symbols from 9 to Ace with up to x50 multipliers, as well as themed icons depicting a moose, wolf, puma, eagle, and the buffalo itself. The buffalo is the most valuable of the themed symbols, allowing you to form combos with a multiplier of up to x120 (for 5 identical symbols). Fa Chai Gaming has also introduced two special symbols in the form of Wild and Scatter, adding variety and bringing much bigger prizes.

Crazy Buffalo Features

As is often the case with many slots, the base game in Crazy Buffalo is unlikely to impress you with its payouts. But Fa Chai Gaming didn't stop at just increasing the number of betways in this slot. Here, you benefit from Wilds, free spins, and advanced mechanics with even more paylines.

Wild Symbol

Appearing both in the base game and during free spins, this symbol replaces regular symbols except for the Scatter. Thanks to this feature, it is much easier for you to form winning combinations. The good news is that some Wilds come with x2 or x3 extra multipliers. Combinations that include several Wilds get a boost in the form of the sum of the attached extra multipliers. However, the maximum amount does not exceed x9, which is a bit disappointing.

Free Games and Collection Feature

Using Scatters, you can get 8, 15, or 20 free spins to reduce the load on your bankroll. What's more, you'll get a x2 payout for 3 Scatters, a x10 multiplier for 4 Scatters, and a x20 prize for 5 Scatters before the bonus starts. What's more, each new Scatter landed during free spins extends the round by +1 extra spin. And the highlight here is that the number of betways can increase to 2,000 to make the chances of hitting the prizes even higher.

Here you will also see Collect symbols that transform thematic icons into the main character of the game (the buffalo). For example, you can turn an eagle, puma, wolf, and moose into a buffalo to increase the value of potential combinations. Although free spins are not triggered as often as we would like, there is a Bonus Buy feature (not available in all countries) that allows you to get guaranteed free spins for an increased bet.

Auto Spins and Speed Mode

Clicking the Spin button every time can be tedious. But Fa Chai Gaming offers an Auto Spins feature that allows you to select between 50 and 999 rounds to be played automatically. However, the standard animation still plays, so rounds can take quite a long time. If you want faster gameplay, use Speed Mode, which provides almost instant results.

Theme & Graphics

All symbols and backgrounds in this slot hint at the nature of the Wild West, with buffalo, eagles, wolves, moose, and other animals. Despite the 2D graphics, the animation is top-notch, with each spin bringing visual pleasure. There are also nice sounds and a relaxing soundtrack in the background. But if you want to play in silence, you can turn off the sounds in just a couple of clicks. Fa Chai Gaming made this game based on HTML5 so that it works well on any device, which is good news for those who like to spin the reels on the go.

Pros and Cons of the Crazy Buffalo Slot

Our Verdict

Despite its not-too-impressive graphics, Crazy Buffalo has become one of my favorite titles from Fa Chai Gaming thanks to its simplicity and huge potential of the in-game bonus with free spins. Here you will find exciting adventures in the wilds of the West, where 1,024 paylines keep the momentum going even in the base game. It offers a solid RTP of 96.5% and not-too-volatile mechanics, which together provide a decent hit frequency.

I had to wait a long time for the coveted Scatters combination, but the free spins round is really worth it. Here, you get an increased number of paylines (up to 2,000) and a symbol upgrade feature to form more valuable combos. Also, some Wilds come with extra multipliers to help you reach that coveted prize of x10,000 your bet. But let's be honest, hitting the maximum award here is extremely unlikely.

Overall, it's a decent game for medium-length gaming sessions. It's suitable for beginners and low rollers who don't want to take big risks. But thanks to the fairly high maximum bet of €600, it's an option worth considering even for risk-takers. I could go on and on about the Crazy Buffalo slot and its remarkable features, but it's better to check it out for yourself by playing the risk-free demo mode on SlotCatalog.
