MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo Review

MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo slot is played across 5 reels and 3 rows, with 40 fixed paylines. To create a win, simply land 3 or more matching symbols from left to right along any payline, starting from reel 1.

The slot is playable from 75p to £750 per spin. Whilst this is quite a wide betting range, it is more geared towards high rollers. For those who like to make smaller bets, check out other IGT slots.

Change your stake by using the + and – buttons on either side of the Total Bet amount below the reels. Outside of the UK, you’ll also find an Auto Spin button on the side of the main Spin button. This allows you to play between 10 and 50 spins without clicking.

The MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo slot has a long-term RTP rate of 92.49%, which includes the progressive jackpot. Excluding the jackpot, the RTP is 88.99%, and if the jackpot resets the expected return is 91.02%. As with all progressive jackpot slots, the RTP increases over time until the jackpot resets, hence the larger long-term RTP.

With a medium volatility, the slot offers max regular wins of 1,000 x your stake. The MegaJackpots progressive jackpot, however, normally pays out at around £850,000 and this is claimed every 11 weeks on average.

Theme – brave frozen American mountains

MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo is set on the American tundra and the reels hang against snow-covered mountains and bracken. It’s likely that the inspiration behind the slot is Alaska, as this is where you can find those ‘majestic’ wood bison the game is named after.

Upon the reels, low-paying symbols include a range of gemstones. At the higher end of the paytable we find rams, eagles, and wolves. The bison is the highest paying symbol, rewarding you with 6.66 x your stake for a five-of-a-kind combination.

The slot comes complete with a wild symbol that substitutes for all regular symbols and a snowy buffalo scatter symbol. We’ll talk more about how the scatter works in the bonus features section of this review.

MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo Bonus Features

MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo boasts 3 bonus features. All of the bonus features require the Prize Disk, and this can award you with cash prizes, free spins, and jackpots. Let’s look at how it works.

Prize Disk Feature

The Prize Disk feature is activated when you land 1 or more buffalo scatter symbols on the reels. The scatter can appear on reels 1, 3, or 5 in the base game, and on all 5 reels in the free spins round.

The reward you receive for triggering the Prize Disk feature depends on what icon is displayed above the reel. Rewards include

• Cash prizes between 4 and 133.33 x your total stake
• Free spins
• The MegaJackpots progressive jackpot

You can win multiple prizes by landing multiple scatters on a single spin.

Free Spins Feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered when you land 1 or more scatter symbols on the reels, with the Free Spins icon above the reel. Each icon present gives you 10 free spins.

During the Free Spins feature, the paytable is more lucrative. For instance, the highest paying bison symbol goes from offering 6.66 x your stake for a 5-of-a-kind combination to b being worth 13.33 x your stake for a 5-of-a-kind combination. More bonus symbols are also added to the reels.

You can trigger the Free Spins feature multiple times. You can do this by landing scatters with the Extra Spins icon or Free Spins icon above the reels. The Extra Spins icon gives you 2 extra spins, whilst the Free Spins icon gives you 10 free spins again. You can claim a maximum of 250 free spins.

MegaJackpots Bonus Feature

Land a scatter with a MegaJackpots icon above the reel and you trigger the MegaJackpots bonus feature. You are then awarded 1 spin of the Prize Disk.

Any prizes which land in the Prize Disk space above the scatter are immediately awarded. If you land a MegaJackpots icon above the reels then congratulations, you’ve just won the progressive jackpot!

The MegaJackpot progressive jackpot seeds at £500,000, so this is the minimum you can win. That said, the jackpot usually pays out at around £850,000. This is a pooled prize, which can also be claimed on games like Megajackpots Cleopatra and MegaJackpots Golden Goddess.

MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo Summary – a well-presented clone, but a clone all the same

The MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo slot is well designed and the graphics are accomplished, in that sort of old-school land-based machine kind of way. It’s not ultra-modern but there’s clear attention to detail.

In terms of gameplay, MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo is a clone of MegaJackpots Elephant King. The bonus features are all identical, as is the paytable. Luckily, we found MegaJackpots Elephant King to be enjoyable, though we’d have liked an extra feature this time around.

The key to winning big is to enter the Free Spins round, as here you can take advantage of the souped-up higher-value symbols. These can lead to max regular wins of 1,000 x your stake.

If max wins of 1,000 x your stake seem low, then you must be forgetting that this game is all about the jackpot prize. As this is pooled with other MegaJackpot games, it can rise quickly. The biggest recorded MegaJackpots win, at the time of writing, stands at £2,148,947! It’s hard to turn your nose up at that, which is why we think MegaJackpots Majestic Buffalo is well worth a spin.
