Slot Summary

Released in 2021, Buffalo Hold and Win places Booming Games' buffalo format on a five-reel, three-row grid with 25 fixed paylines. Its high-volatility profile and 1,200x ceiling put the emphasis on two separate feature routes: Free Spins from Scatter symbols and a Hold and Win round driven by locking gold coins. That split gives the game a clearer identity than a simple wildlife-themed line slot.

How It Plays

The base game uses 25 fixed paylines across five reels and three rows. Matching symbols pay consecutively from the left, with separate line wins added together.

Stacked Wilds can occupy multiple positions and help complete line combinations. Scatter symbols and gold coins point toward different features, so each qualifying symbol has a distinct purpose.

Theme & Atmosphere

Buffalo, eagles, wolves, and open plains place the Animals and Wildlife themes within a Wild West setting rather than a neutral nature backdrop.

The buffalo remains the central figure, while the surrounding landscape and supporting animals give the slot the visual language of a frontier wildlife game.

Features & Win Potential

Six or more gold coins open Hold and Win. The coins remain locked, three respins begin, and every newly landed coin resets the remaining respins to three.

Stacked Wilds appear outside the first reel and can cover several positions. Their role stays tied to standard payline wins rather than the locked-coin feature.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three Scatter symbols on the middle reels award eight Free Spins. More qualifying Scatter symbols during the feature can add further spins.

Hold and Win ends when its respins expire or the grid fills. The final result combines the values of the locked coins and any fixed prize symbols collected.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.91%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,200×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
