Play Wild Buffalo (NetGame) Slot

Wild Buffalo (NetGame) Review

With Wild Buffalo, Ukrainian-based developer NetGame takes players to the American savannah, and true to its name, the slot sports quite a popular American wilderness theme and revolves around familiar buffaloes. However, it has a few tricks of its own to keep players in the right mood during the gameplay and brings an exciting twist to the buffalo environment.

The studio decided to take a slightly different approach in terms of the game's appearance, mixing two genres into one. With that said, the Wild Buffalo slot comes with a buffaloes meet Indians theme. We see familiar animals on the reels, but they do appear in a somewhat tribal setting, as the reels are framed with totems, as well as some of the symbols relate to the Indians. In general, Wild Buffalo is stunning on the outside, with top-notch graphics, smooth animations, and an ambient soundtrack. Overall, kudos to the design team, as Wild Buffalo is really pleasing to the eye.

Wild Buffalo Slot - Reel Screen

Dominating the view is a large 5x4 reel set with an all-ways pay system, producing 1,024 ways to play on each spin. To drop in, players need to place bets from €0.4 to €80 per spin, which should appeal to many. The volatility is in the medium-high range, while the RTP is solid at 96.22%, which is slightly above the average level. The maximum win is capped at 5,000x the stake. Not a deal-breaking amount, but pretty decent given the risk involved.

The symbol collection consists of 11 regular symbols that are split into highs and lows. As the title implies, buffalo is a top star here, followed by eagles, pumas, wolves, and bears. The lower section, in turn, includes classic A-9 royals. Three or more adjacent symbols starting from the leftmost reel create a winning combo, except for the buffalo, which needs only two. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth 5x your bet, and premiums pay from 6x to 15x the stake. Finally, buffaloes can appear stacked on the reels to increase your chances of hitting a tasty payout.

Wild Buffalo Slot Features

Silver buffaloes are Wilds, which act as a substitute for any other regular symbols, plus they contribute to bigger wins during the free spins. However, they can appear only on the three middle reels.

Wild Buffalo Slot - Free Spins

Look out for Shaman symbols during the base game, which can land anywhere in view. Those are Scatters, and when 3 or more appear simultaneously on the reels, a bonus game is triggered. Players receive a cash prize of 10x, 50x, or 100x the bet for landing 3, 4, or 5 triggering symbols, and proceed to the Buffalo Fortune bonus wheel consisting of 16 segments. You get one spin of the wheel, where you can win either free spins or one of the four jackpot prizes:

• Free Spins - receive 8, 10, 12, or 15 free games.
• Mini Jackpot - 10x the bet.
• Minor Jackpot - 50x the bet.
• Major Jackpot - 100x the bet.
• Super Jackpot - 500x the bet.

Landing a pointer on the jackpot segment also gives you a respin, so it's possible to win multiple prizes. More than that, if you win the jackpot with a +Bonus Wheel symbol, a small wheel then gets into play, where you can multiply your jackpot value by 2x - 10x.

Wild Buffalo Slot - Bonus Game

The Free Spins feature operates in a similar way to the base game, but a major difference is that now all Wild symbols have a random multiplier of 2x or 3x attached to them, which is applied to all winning combinations that Wild symbol takes part in. Finally, retriggers are possible, and you can win additional free games during the feature.

Review Summary

All in all, Wild Buffalo is a decent slot game with a lot for players to offer, including a great design, fun gameplay, and well-balanced math. Those into the buffaloes and Indians will surely find enough entertainment here, so consider Wild Buffalo as an option if you look for something to play within this genre.
