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 RTP 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!
