Slot Summary

Continuing Booming Games' Buffalo Hold and Win line, Ultra Buffalo Hold and Win expands the family’s coin-locking formula downward. Its defining change is a Hold and Win area that can stretch from 5x3 to 5x8, adding positions as coins arrive. Medium/High volatility, four Fixed Jackpots, and a 5,000x ceiling make the larger grid the mathematical center of this sequel.

How It Plays

The base game runs across 20 fixed paylines, but its decisive events come from coins and Bonus symbols. Coin landings can lead into the expanding Hold and Win round.

The Wild Symbol supports ordinary line wins, while special Wild outcomes may carry a Multiplier. This keeps base-game substitutions separate from the locked-coin feature.

Theme & Atmosphere

Animals lead the symbol set, with buffalo, eagles, and wolves placing the game on open plains rather than inside a conventional saloon or mining camp.

The Wild West setting uses a desert frontier as context for the expanding grid, turning the Hold and Win feature into a widening stampede of locked positions.

Wild West Animals

Features & Win Potential

Expanding Reels are not cosmetic: the Hold and Win area can grow from 5x3 to 5x8, increasing the number of positions available for locked coin symbols.

Fixed Jackpots and the Bonus wheel create separate award routes, while the Random multiplier and Wild Symbol alter qualifying outcomes without changing the 20 paylines.

Free Spins Multiplier Wild Symbol Respins 5 Reels Bonus Game Expanding Reels Bonus symbols Hold and Win Bonus wheel Bonus Bet Random multiplier Fixed Jackpots Reelset Changing Locked Reels

Bonus & Free Spins

Three Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 award a spin of the Bonus wheel, which can return a Fixed Jackpot or open an enhanced mode.

Five or more coins start Hold and Win. Landing more coins expands the available rows, and filling the enlarged area awards the 2,000x Grand prize.

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 (Medium-High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.60%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,000×).

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.
