Grand Buffalo Hold & Win Slot Review

About the Game

Experience the majesty of the prairie in Grand Buffalo Hold & Win from BGaming, stretching far beyond the horizon. It’s home to a multitude of majestic animals: cougars, elk, wolves, eagles, and buffalo. These stunning creatures also appear as symbols in the game, forming lucrative winning combinations.

Two bonus games will add even more thrills to freedom-loving players: free spins feature a progressive multiplier, and Fireball Respin offers the chance to win three jackpots, the largest of which is 1000×1.

Buy Bonus

The game offers the option to purchase a bonus: free spins or a Fireball re-spin. After clicking the “Buy Bonus” button, the price will be displayed in a pop-up window. It depends on the bet—if the bet changes, the price also changes.

Chance x2

You can also activate “Chance ×2.” This increases the chances of triggering free spins or a Fireball re-spin. The price is displayed on the “Chance ×2” button, which also allows you to toggle this feature on and off. “Chance ×2” is only available in the main game.

Game Rules

The Wild symbol substitutes for any other symbol to complete a winning combination, except for the Scatter symbol. Appears only on reels 2-5.

Fireball symbol. Each fireball symbol has a value of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, or 15x. There are also two fireball jackpots: 20x (mini) and 100x (major). Landing 6 or more fireball symbols on the reels triggers the Fireball Respin bonus round. Fireball symbols only pay out during the bonus round.

Scatter symbol. 3 or more Scatter symbols award a win anywhere, and 4 or more Scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins round. 4 Scatter symbols award 12 Free Spins, 5 Scatter symbols award 15 Free Spins, and 6 Scatter symbols award 20 Free Spins.

The lightning symbol appears only in Fireball Respin mode and comes in three sizes: large, medium, and small. A large lightning bolt splits its own cell into two medium-sized empty cells, while a medium lightning bolt splits its own cell into two small empty cells. A small lightning bolt cannot split its own cell, so a random large or medium cell is split into two. If that cell contains a Fireball, both resulting cells will also contain a Fireball.

Free Spins

During Free Spins, Wild symbols have multipliers of x2, x3, or x5. During the round, they accumulate above the reels, and the current multiplier is applied to the win per spin.

If 3 or more Scatter symbols land during Free Spins, additional spins are awarded.

• 3 Scatter symbols give 5 extra spins,
• 4 Scatter symbols – 12 extra spins,
• 5 Scatter symbols – 15 extra spins,
• 6 Scatter symbols – 20 extra spins.

Fireball Respin

Fireball Respin is a bonus game featuring only Fireball and Lightning symbols. Fireball Respins begin with 3 re-spins. When a Fireball or Lightning symbol lands during the bonus round, the re-spin counter resets to 3. All Fireball symbols, including those that triggered the Fireball Respin, remain on the reels for the duration of the bonus game. Fireball Respins continue until the re-spins are exhausted or all reel positions are filled with Fireball symbols. Your winnings are equal to the sum of all Fireball symbols on the reels.

Jackpots

Fireball Respin offers the chance to win three jackpots: Mini (20x), Major (100x), and Mega (1000x). To win the Mini and Major jackpots, the corresponding fireballs must appear on the reels.

The Mega jackpot is won when two conditions are met:

1. The wooden coin next to the reels must turn gold. This occurs when the coin accumulates 250 scatters in both the main game and free spins.
2. During Fireball Respin, 48 fireballs must appear on the reels.
