Theme: wild setting, wild gameplay

The arid plains of the American west are the setting for 5 Wild Buffalo. Rocky canyons and beautiful skies form the backdrop to the reels. There you’ll find A to 10 playing card ranks alongside 6 animal symbols. You’ll see a horse, an eagle, a big cat, a wolf and a bear. The buffalo is the most lucrative symbol. It pays just 0.25x stake for a 5-symbol combination though! As you’ll discover below, this is a slot that’s all about the multipliers.

The rocky outcrop symbol is the wild. This replaces all the standard symbols in a winning combination. The stylised cattle skull is the bonus symbol. Land 3 or more of these to activate the free spins.

The imagery here reminded me a of a classic brick and mortar casino slot, especially combined with the sweeping soundtrack which is an ideal fit for the rugged frontier theme.

5 Wild Buffalo Mobile

I found the 5 Wild Buffalo mobile slot played perfectly well. There are quite a few moving parts, especially with the stacked symbols and the jackpot wheel that looms in the background. It can feel a little cluttered. I preferred the desktop version but if you’re using a tablet or smartphone, it’s fine and arguably looks better in portrait mode at mobile casinos.

5 Wild Buffalo Bonus Features

There are three potential extras on offer to liven up the action in 5 Wild Buffalo. The Buffalo Thunder bonus can deliver stacked symbols and multipliers and the free spins round comes with expanding wilds and even more multipliers. You could also get a spin of the bonus wheel and scoop one of 5 potential jackpot prizes.

Boosting Fortunes Jackpots

Above each reel sits a meter. Each time a diamond symbol lands, it boosts the value of the jackpot prize in the meter directly above. Landing a diamond can also trigger a spin of the Jackpot Wheel. There are 5 potential prizes up for grabs here. Depending on where the pointer lands, you’ll win one of the following prizes.

• Mini Jackpot = Min 8 x Max 100 x stake
• Midi Jackpot = Min 12 x Max 200 x stake
• Super Jackpot = Min 100 x Max 500 x stake
• Mega Jackpot = Min 300 x Max 1,500 x stake
• Ultra Jackpot = Min 1,000 x Max 5,000 x stake

Buffalo Thunder

This feature triggers when you land a full stack of the Buffalo symbol. The stack turns into a single Buffalo symbol and a multiplier of between 5x and 10x is attached.

Free Spins feature

Land 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols on the same spin and your reward is 8, 15 or 25 free spins. Any wild that lands during the free spins expands to turn the whole reel wild. These expanded wilds also come with multipliers attached which can boost payouts by up to 12x. Landing 2 bonus symbols adds another 4 free spins to your total. Land 3, 4 or 5 for a full re-trigger and another round of 8, 15 or 25 free games. Land a diamond during the Free Spins and you’ll automatically get a spin of the Jackpot Wheel.

5 Wild Buffalo Slot

This is a nice addition to the numerous other buffalo-themed slots, but there’s nothing that makes it stand out from the crowd in my opinion.

Pros

• 7,500 x bet max wins
• jackpot wheel with prizes up to 5,000 x bet
• Multiplier wilds

Cons

• Highly volatile

What is it about the buffalo that proves so popular with slot developers? The potential for a huge stampede of coins I suppose. This 4ThePlayer release offers just that possibility with its 7,500 x stake maximum win. It’s a high-risk, high-reward game though thanks to the extreme volatility.

The gameplay here is decent enough. The range of extras isn’t enormous but there’s enough going on with the stacked symbols, multipliers, free spins and wilds to keep things interesting. The standard payouts are very low. You really need to get the multipliers to work their magic (ideally, combining more than one of them in the same winning combination) to land anything half-decent.

I found the design here very much in keeping with a live casino slot. It’s nicely done without being right at the cutting edge.

I wouldn’t quite put this right at the front of the herd of buffalo-themed slots. If you can’t get enough of the American big beasts though, 5 Wild Buffalo is certainly one to consider.
