Buffalo Ways Review

In the online slots world, buffalo-inspired games are popular. Many rely on Free Spins and Multiplier Wilds. The Buffalo Ways slot sticks to the same formula, taking players on an adventure to American prairies, where rewards await.

Buffalo Ways - Slot Outlook

The actions take place across a 6x4 grid producing 4,096 ways to play, and the reels are made up of familiar animal symbols. However, the background image is a simple glimmering orange wallpaper. Anyway, Buffalo Ways is still pleasing to the eye thanks to its sharp graphics and smooth animations. The soundtrack captures the essential prairie vibe and adding a final touch to the general atmosphere.

Players need to make wagers from £0.4 to £20 per spin. The Buffalo Ways slot is powered by a highly volatile math model, and the RTP is slightly above average at 96.04%. You can win up to 12,000x the stake here, which is £240,000 when playing with the max bet option available.

We see common A-9 royals on the lower side, as well as a bunch of animals that make up up the premium lot. In ascending order, we get raccoons, eagles, deers, and bears, all topped by the buffalo. On top of that, buffalo symbols appear stacked on the reels to produce bigger winning opportunities. You'll need to land at least 3 matching low-paying symbols adjacently on the reels starting from the leftmost to score a payout, and animal symbols pay for two-of-a-kind and more. Full line low symbol wins are worth from 2.5x to 3.75x your bet, and the premiums pay from 5x to 7.5x the stake. There's also a Wild symbol included that appears on reels 2-6 and substitutes for any other regular symbols, plus increases your wins in the Free Spins, covered below.

Buffalo Ways - Bonus Features

Much like any other buffalo-themed slot, Buffalo Ways revolves around the Free Spins feature. The bonus is activated when at least 3 Scatter symbols appear anywhere in view during the base game, and depending on the number of triggering symbols, players receive one of the following prizes:

• 3 Scatters - 8 Free Spins
• 4 Scatters - 15 Free Spins
• 5 Scatters - 25 Free Spins
• 6 Scatters - 100 Free Spins

The Free Spins bonus game operates in a similar way to the base game, though, the major difference is that Wild symbols now carry a random Multiplier and boost your winnings. Whenever a Wild symbol takes part in a win, it reveals a random Multiplier of either 2x, 3x, or 5x that will be applied to that win. In case there's more than one Wild symbol, the Multiplier values are added together. Finally, retriggers are possible, and you can get +5, +8, +15, +25, or +100 additional free games by landing 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters anywhere on the reels during the Free Spins round, no limits.

Buffalo Ways - Slot Verdict

All said and done, Buffalo Ways sticks to common 'buffalo ways', pardon the pun. It's got massive 6 reels, over 4,000 ways to play, and features player-favorite gameplay mechanics. However, all that doesn't give it much personality, though, at least players will have one more decent buffalo game to choose from. Being a straight-up copy of a similar slot, it doesn't offer anything new to the players aside from an enhanced outer look and adjusted math model. However, gamblers might appreciate a bumped-up potential.
