Some slot titles do a brilliant job of revealing what the game is all about regarding the theme, features, and mechanics. However, other titles like ‘Buffalo Blow’ are quite deceiving when juxtaposing the title and the theme. When you first saw this title, what came into your mind? Odds are, seeing some raging buffalos in the wild, isn’t it? Well, that’s not what the game is about.

The Buffalo Blow slot is about two mafia gangs from Miami, the U.S. The gangs are about to face off to control the gold bullion from the sunken SS Central America ship. Who will reign supreme after the clash? That’s what you get to see when you start spinning the six reels of this newly released slot machine – released on 26 November 2024. 

Now that you know what to expect when you launch the game, there’s no doubt that everyone is looking ahead to see who will emerge victorious when the two gangs clash. Wait a bit, though, as you first need to learn about some important pre-gaming considerations:

• Bet Option: The first consideration relates to the bet option to use on each spin. When making your choice, remember that the options start from 0.10 coins to 100.00 coins. 
• Spin Option: When spinning the reels, you can choose between doing so manually by repeatedly clicking the Spin button after each spin, or you can enable the auto-play mode.  
• Turbo Mode: Those fascinated with pulsating lightning-fast action during their gaming session can enable turbo mode. 

The game’s reel grid, which sits at the top of a picturesque 80s-styled Miami CBD backdrop, is 6 x 4 in format and has a default 4096 ways to win (rising to 262,144 ways). When spinning the reels, the objective is to land at least three identical symbols on an active line.

The number of symbols involved in the winning combination determines the size of the payout to be awarded. The bigger payouts come when more symbols feature in the same win line. Moreover, bigger payouts come when high-value symbols are featured in a win line. 

The top-paying symbols to the least-paying icons arranged in descending order are as follows: 

• The buffalo character.
• The eagle character.
• The tiger character.
• The wolf character. 
• The deer character.
• Royal poker icons.

• Wild: A golden buffalo head acts as the wild symbol. This symbol’s powers enable it to substitute for all icons except the scatter and cash icons. 

• Multiplier Wild Symbol: Wilds may land as multiplier icons with random multiplier values ranging from 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 10x.  

• Cash Symbol: Gold bars act as the cash symbols. All cash symbols have a cash value, which can only be won by landing a COLLECT symbol in the same spin.

• Collect Symbol: The cash vault inscribed CASH COLLECT acts as the collect symbol. The symbol only appears on reels 1 and 6. When it lands on the same spin with a cash symbol, it collects and instantly awards the sum of all values displayed on the cash symbol. 

• Free Spins Feature: Three or more scatter symbols that land on the reels simultaneously help trigger this feature. Three or four triggering icons award 5 or 7 free spins, respectively. The reel height starts at 4 high during the feature and expands by one row every spin until the max height (8 high) is reached. Whenever an additional row is added, the number of ways to win increases to 262,144 ways.  

• Activate Feature: Clicking the Activate Feature button on the main screen allows players to purchase the free spins feature instantly. When players purchase the feature, at least three scatters are guaranteed to land on the next paid spin. The RTP for this bonus bet is 96.00%.  

I highly recommend the Buffalo Blow slot as it comes with an intriguing theme brilliantly accentuated by exquisite graphics. The presence of several bonus rounds makes the slot an exciting and enterprising game to play.

Prominently, when the free spins round activates, the chances of winning increase significantly as on each spin, the reel height is guaranteed to increase and so too are the number of active ways to win. The standard RTP is pegged at 95.90%.
