Gameplay and Design
Buffalo Power: Hold and Win is a buffalo-themed pokie that features majestic beasts set in an old west setting. The game is set in Nevada or New Mexico and has a Western-themed soundtrack. The paying symbols are standard for this game. Low-paying symbols are Royals, while higher-paying symbols include the wolf, eagle, mountain lion, and grizzly bear.
The mighty buffalo appears as a stacked wild and substitutes for everything except special symbols. There are three special symbols consisting of the gold Bonus symbol, gold Power coins, and the Mountain scatter. Bonus symbols will have dollar amounts but will only be paid out during the Hold and Win Bonus Game.
Overall, this online pokie has a sleek look and the animations are nicely done. However, the overall gameplay is quite average. Players don’t seem to mind this, as the game has spawned three sequels and multiple spinoffs.
Game controls are to the right of the game board, with the oversized spin button in orange. You can access settings, sound controls, and the paytable in the lower right corner of the game board. Under the reels, you can set your bet amount from 0.20 to $50 per spin.
