Buffalo Stack 'n' Sync

Buffalo Stack 'n' Sync Review

This game offers a North American animal theme, and the Stack 'n' Sync feature is a potentially lucrative innovation if the top-tier Bison symbol is chosen to be stacked and synced.

The pace of the game is excellent with the turbo switched on, but the visual presentation is somewhat bland. Massive multiplier wins can also come in the base game, from the Stampede Reels feature, and you can expect even more of that in the top-tier Stampede Spins bonus round.

Buffalo Stack 'n' Sync Slot Features

The animal symbols, consisting of horses, cougars, wolves, eagles and bison, pay between 10 and 20 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The cactus Wild can land on all reels, and it substitutes for regular pay symbols. The wild pays the same as the top-tier Bison symbol if you land 5 across a payline.

The Stack 'n' Sync feature triggers when you land an SNS symbol anywhere, and the relevant reel (or reels) is then injected with 15, 30, 45 or 60 extra symbols of a randomly chosen type. You also get 1 respin per SNS symbol in view, and landing new SNS symbols on the respins sync more reels with the same stacked symbol and add additional respins. If 60 symbols are added to the reel strips you’re guaranteed to get a fully stacked reel.

A full stack of Buffalo symbols on a reel triggers the Stampede Reels feature, and the symbols will merge into one full-reel symbol with a multiplier of x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x15, x20, x25, x50, x75 or x100. The full-reel buffalo symbols can connect with other buffalo symbols only, and the multiplier will then boost the win. If more than one is used, the multipliers are added together before the boost.

The Free Spins Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 flaming scatters anywhere in view, and this awards 10 free spins. You have a higher chance of landing premium animal symbols in stacks during the bonus round than in the base game, which improves your odds of triggering the Stampede Reels feature.

The Stampede Spins Bonus Round triggers when you land 4 flaming scatters anywhere in view, and the feature comes with only buffalo symbols, Stack symbols and/or inactive skull symbols. Landing the Stack symbol (‘S’) on a reel adds 5 to 60 buffalo symbols to that reel, and these replace inactive skull symbols. A full stack triggers the Stampede Reels multiplier feature as usual, and you also get +1 extra spin per Stack symbol.

The Bonus Buy button is available for non-UK players, but perhaps not in all other jurisdictions either. It comes with 3 options this time, as follows:

• Pay 15x your stake for a guaranteed SNS symbol which gives you at least 1 respin (96.4 % RTP. Very high volatility).
• Pay 100x your stake for the regular Free Spins feature (96.46 % RTP. Very high volatility).
• Pay 250x your stake for the Stampede Spins feature (96.5 % RTP. High volatility).

The 200 Spins Buffalo Stack 'n' Sync Slot Experience

We purchase the SNS symbol around the 1-minute mark, after a patch of mostly dead spins, and then it lands organically in spades not long after. We buy the Free Spins round at 2:30 into the 9:42-minute highlights video, and we finally test our luck in the Stampede Spins feature at 6:32 into the video.

Review Summary

The visual presentation is somewhat classic for the wild west animal genre. The base game is all about landing the SNS symbol, which may lead to back-to-back respin wins that culminates in a full screen win. Admittedly, said full screen win doesn’t award more than 150x your stake unless the buffalo is involved.

With multipliers being added together pretty much anything can happen even in the base game, and you need an x50 total multiplier to crack the max win from a full buffalo screen. The regular bonus round is less exciting than the Stampede Spins feature, but it can still deliver solid payouts, of course. This is a release that can stampede all over your bankroll, or give it a sudden boost to the tune of 10,000x your stake.
