There is something primal, even feral, in every single one of us, which is why we enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and whatnot. Staying in touch with Nature is our way to stay in touch with ourselves. So how about a mix of nature and the ultimate decider – luck?
Meet Big Buffalo, a slot game made especially for all those with an adventurous spirit. Developed and published by Skywind Group in March 2018, the game has been a mainstay in most online casinos. We decided to take a walk on the wild side and go for a few spins, to just, you know, get a feel of the real outback.
The results of our little expedition are here, in our little memoir of a review. Keep reading to decide if this is an adventure you’d be willing to undertake!
Tech Features
An outstanding game with an outstanding layout – you have 4 rows, 6 reels, and a total of 4096 different ways to hit a winning combo! The mechanics of the game are pretty straightforward and you can adjust any technical feature with just a few clicks – nothing complicated whatsoever.
RTP and Volatility
All those various ways to win come with a hit on the RTP, which stands at 95.5%, not that good, but also not bad. It’s right in the middle. As compensation for the relatively low RTP, the game has medium-range volatility, which should even things out – in favor of the player.
Not the most generous game, but one that tells you – just get some elements in a row and we’ll take care of the rest.
Design and Theme
Design-wise, the game hits all the right notes with the Australian outback/American wilderness vibes as the background and the music combine perfectly to get you the ultimate feel – it’s you against Mother Nature. It’s all about the rugged ways of life!
Of course, there are luck and betting techniques involved in the mix, but the ultimate decider of your fate will be you and your pouch of gold.
All in all, this game sharpened our senses, lined our pockets, and got us that true vacation/adventure mix that is nothing but food for your soul.
Symbols, Betting, and Payouts
The game presents us with 6 regular symbols: a 9-to-A sequence, which is the lowest-paying ones. Then there’s the Lynx, the Fox, the Wolf, and the Eagle, which are the higher paying ones. The highest paying symbol? The Big Buffalo himself. Then there’s the bonus symbols – the Wild and the Free Games Scatter symbols, but we’ll get into them in the next paragraph.
Bonuses
The bonuses are pretty straightforward, you get the Free Games feature, and you also have the expanding buffalos feature.
Free Games
The Free Games feature is activated when you land 3, 4, 5, or 6, of these symbols, you activate an extra – free spins! You can get 8, 15, 25, or 100 free spins – all with a 2x or 3x multiplier!
Wild
The Wild symbol helps you put more combos together, and acts as a substitute for all symbols and animals, except the Free Games symbol.
Conclusion
A trip in the wilderness might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the truth is that we all need it every now and then. And what a better way to do it than just take a stroll in the wilderness and try your luck against nature, in a stand off that can make you richer not just in soul, but also top up your bank account!
