Gameplay and Design
Big Wild Buffalo video pokie features sleek aesthetics that grace your screen the moment you load the game. You are welcomed by smooth animations of three Buffalos who look ready to charge. The game opens up a 5×4 reel grid framed with tree branches and held together by colourful ribbons. The backdrop depicts rocky canyons and sprawling plains with a fitting soundtrack, setting the stage for the wild jackpot hunt. The reel grid hosts a variety of symbols, including various creatures in their natural habitat, which make up the high-paying symbols.
The mighty Buffalo graces the reels, staying true to the theme as the most premium symbol, offering the highest payout of 1,000x your stake for five of a kind. Additionally, the Buffalo acts as the Wild symbol, replacing other regular symbols to form a winning combination. The Wolf follows with up to 800x your bet for five in a payline. The Owl earns you up to 600X your stake when five appear on a payline, while the Deer and Mouflon guarantee 40x, 200x, or 400x your bet when you land a match of 3, 4, or 5 symbols on a line, respectively.
Big Wild Buffalo pokie’s low-paying symbols are well-crafted, colourful royal card symbols including A, K, Q, and J, all paying up to 20X your stake for five matching symbols on a payline. Apart from the Buffalo Wild, there are two special symbols comprising the scatter and Credit symbols. The scatter symbol is represented by an image of a massive canyon with a ‘scatter’ label on it and triggers the Free Spins feature when 3 or more appear. Acting as the Credit symbol is a bright blue moon responsible for triggering the Hold & Win bonus round when 6 or more land on the reels.
Big Wild Buffalo pokie features a clean, user-friendly interface, while the control panel is nicely configured to enhance simplicity and accessibility. The control panel is located below the reel grid, providing essential buttons that ensure smooth navigation. Start the wild adventure by adjusting your bet via the </> buttons, with stakes ranging from AU$0.25 to AU$200.
