Great Buffalo Hold & Win Slot Review

I don’t have many regrets but there is this one incident that I think about. You see, I was besotted with a raven-haired, generously chesticled Italian babe, and try as I might, things never seemed to work out. 😭

She was either dating someone, or I was, or we were emerging from a relationship and carrying some deep scars, so the timing was always off. Or possibly she wasn’t into me. 🥹

There was this one night that could’ve changed the narrative but it didn’t play out in my favor, so I’ll never know what could’ve happened if I’d made a different choice that evening. 😱

She was my Great White Buffalo – which the Urban dictionary refers to as “the one that got away”.

Don’t let $312,500 slip through your fingers. That’s what GameArt is offering when you play Great Buffalo Hold & Win slot. 🎰💰

Gameplay

There are no surprises with GameArt’s latest – we have an arid desert and a bunch of crazy-eyed critters staring at you from the 5-reel grid.

Above the reels are four Jackpots that are linked to your stake: the Mini Jackpot pays 50x, the Minor Jackpot pays 100x, the Major Jackpot pays 200x, and the Grand Jackpot pays 500x.

The game offers 25 paylines, an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.
of 96.44%
, and a medium volatility rate. The max multiplier is 5,000x but the most shocking thing about the game is the astonishing $312,500 top payout. That’s unbelievable!

The Buffalo Wild replaces all symbols that aren’t Scatters or Fireballs (I’ll explain what the latter are in a sec). Wilds can also land with 2x to 5x multipliers.

Fireballs are what you need to get into the Re-spin feature, and they can carry values, or represent one of the Jackpots.

Features

RE-SPINS:

You’ll need 6+ Fireballs to trigger this feature, and only Fireballs will appear on the reels now. All Fireballs are sticky and you get 3 re-spins to start with, but the spin counter gets reset for each newly-landed Fireball.

As I mentioned earlier, you can score a Jackpot when one (or more) Fireballs, representing a Jackpot, lands.

The Re-spin feature ends when there are no more re-spins, or you’ve filled all the cells. The Grand Jackpot is won when you fill all 20 grid positions with Fireballs of any kind.

FREE SPINS:

Hit 3 Buffalo Scatters for 10 Free Spins. Wilds will now be sticky, and they can carry multiplier values just like we had in the base game. If multiple Wilds contribute to a win, their multipliers are summed up and applied.

BUY BONUS:

You’ve got two options here:

  • Pay 85x your bet for entry into the Free Spins round
  • Pay 25x your bet to gain entry into the Hold & Win feature

Performance

It’s always a good day when you venture into the great outdoors and emerge unscathed. Similarly, I bore no scars after playing Great Buffalo Hold & Win slot, as things ran smoothly across all my devices and browsers.

Maximum Win

I’m still reeling from the fact that you can score $312,500 on a medium-volatility game, but that’s what we’ve got right here! The max multiplier is a middle-of-the-road 5,000x and the betting range starts at $0.25 and ends at $62.50.

Conclusion

Do I have to state the obvious? I don’t have to, but I will: the selling point of Great Buffalo Hold & Win slot is the frankly ludicrous (in a good way) potential payout the game offers.

But here’s the thing; GameArt hasn’t put up some asinine barrier to entry. No siree – in fact, they’ve given the game a medium volatility rate and have even dropped the price of admission via the Buy Bonus.

Most games charge 100x your bet for a Free Spins Buy Bonus, but here it’s 85x. That’s not the amazing part, though. To pay 25x to get into the Hold & Win feature – where the Jackpots live – has genuinely got me worked up into a lather.

So, what are you waiting for? Just go ahead and play!
