Buster’s Bones

Buster’s Bones Review

This game takes place in the wild west and features cowboy dogs. The base game happens in a canyon, and the bonus round moves to a frontier saloon.

The dogs are charming, and wilds play a big role during features. The Wild moves to collect bones, turning those spots wild and increasing its multiplier. This continues in the bonus round, with a Wild Multiplier that keeps growing. The 973x potential combined with medium to high volatility, might not appeal to some players.

Buster’s Bones Slot Features

You need at least 5 matching symbols adjacent vertically or horizontally to get a cluster win, and 3 dogs with green, blue, and purple backgrounds are the best symbols. Winning symbols are removed via the Avalanche feature, and replaced by new symbols dropping from above. This repeats as long as you win.

Wild symbols appear during the Buster’s Bones feature, substituting for other symbols. You need a Special Symbol and at least one Bone Special Symbol to trigger the feature. The Wild will move to collect bones, turning those positions wild.

The Wild is also a wild symbol, and a multiplier based on the collected bone symbols becomes the win multiplier. This multiplier is applied when the Wild is part of a win. The Wild and multiplier disappear after the feature, but it can trigger again.

The feature can trigger organically or through the ‘Random Features’ feature, where bones and the Wild are placed randomly on the grid, activating the feature.

The Bonus Round starts when you get 2 free spins scatters and 1 Wild, giving you 8 free spins. The Wild moves to collect bones, making positions wild and building its multiplier. The multiplier doesn't reset during the bonus round, and you win +1 or +3 extra spins when you land 1 or 2 scatters on the same free spin, respectively.

Finally, eligible players can purchase the Bonus Round via the Buy Feature for 60x your stake, for instant access to the free spins round.

Review Summary

This game is a charming wild west release, but this medium to high volatility installment may not appeal to everyone. The 973x potential says it all.

It’s fun to see the dog collect bones, turn positions wild, and build its multiplier. However, with these returns, it might not attract mainstream attention. You get more of the feature in the bonus round, with a non-resetting multiplier, but the win cap is only 973x your stake. This game is worth a try, but it might not be the best for every player.
