Two Buffalo for the Price of One in this WMS Designed Slot
The Buffalo have an almost legendary status in North America, with the enormous hoards of the creatures roaming free across the plains. In this game you have ‘double’ the fun as the slot focuses on two individual buffalo. One has eye-catching blue fur and is set against a red sunset, while the other has white fur and is set against the backdrop of the night. These two symbols are the highest paying in the game, while they can also work together as a team.
Joining the buffalo on the reels are eagles, gophers and lizards, all adding to the North American theme.
Double Buffalo Spirit is an all-action, wildlife filled slot, with the following range of features:
- A larger than usual 5×4 reel configuration to house the oversize buffalo.
- The all-ways winning system allowing for 1,024 ways to win on every spin.
- High paying buffalo which award a prize on their own and a bonus win for a combination of the two.
- A free spins bonus feature where up to 20 spins can be won with win multipliers.
- Easily retrigger the free spins for the chance of long extended bonus features.
Free Spins Where Wilds Multiply Your Wins
The third buffalo on the reels (there are four in all) is not quite as active as the others in the game, which might be the fact that it is mounted to the wall. This buffalo head features Native American markings and acts as the bonus symbol. Land 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols anywhere on the reels and you’ll win 8, 15 or 20 free spins, as well as an instant cash prize of up to 80 coins.
During the free spins, any wins with the wild symbol will see a multiplier introduced into the mix – either 2x or 3x. Wild multipliers are a nice boost, especially in an all-ways game, as a single wild can enable many additional wins.
More good news is that retriggers can be won too, and they happen often. Land 3 or more bonus symbols and you’ll win another 8, 15 or 20 free spins. However, just a pair of bonus symbols in the feature will see you awarded with an extra 5 free spins. Therefore, it’s not unusual to see your initial number of spins extended by as many as 20 or 30. This easy retrigger reminds me of the original Buffalo slot, from Aristocrat.
All-Ways Setup
Double Buffalo Spirit plays out on a 5×4 reel set up. The game utilises the all-ways winning system. You’ll win when landing matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, irrespective of the position on the reels. This gives you an incredible 1,024 ways to win for every spin, with each spin coming in at the cost of 40 credits.
The two leading buffalo symbols are the highest payers in the game. Land either on all five reels and you’ll win 150 coins. A combination of the two buffalo across the five reels pays 30 coins. In the middle of the pay table you’ll find the eagle, the gopher and the lizard. The playing card symbols 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K and A complete the bottom of the pay table.
Look out for the final buffalo symbol as the wild. This shows the whole of a buffalo side on, this time in a golden colour. This will substitute for any other symbol in the game apart from the scatter. The wild is most effective in the free spins feature when the multipliers join the fray.
Stampeding Slot – Double Buffalo Spirit Slot Design
The backdrop to this WMS designed slot shows the great American plain. It’s sunset, so a picturesque red sheen is over the scene, making it a perfect setting for a slot. With 4 buffalo symbols and the range of other wildlife on the reels, the game has an ideal design for those of you who love the great outdoors. A lack of animation is one small criticism of an otherwise nicely designed slot.
Will Double Buffalo Spirit See Your Bankroll Stampeding Upwards?
Double Buffalo Spirit is a fast-paced game which will appeal to those who like their wins regular. With 1,024 ways to win, you’ll never be waiting too long for some cash, making this a relatively low variance game. The highlight of the slot is certainly the free spins bonus feature. The wild multipliers in play will certainly make a difference to your bankroll, while those easy retriggers can make the feature feel almost endless at times.
