Slot Summary

Players who want a lock-and-respin round with an x10000 ceiling get the clearest fit from Buffalo Bonanza: Hold and Win. Iconic21 pairs 1024 ways with two separate bonus routes: scatter-triggered Free Spins and a Hold and Win round where new coins lock, reset the respin counter, and may carry fixed jackpot values. The Buffalo and Wildlife setting gives that structure a familiar frontier frame.

How It Plays

On each base spin, matching symbols pay through an All Ways system when they connect across adjacent reels from the left. The 1024-way setup removes the need to follow fixed line paths.

The base game feeds two different objectives. Scatter symbols pursue Free Spins, while coin symbols pursue the lock-and-respin round, so the relevant trigger can change from one spin to the next.

Theme & Atmosphere

Buffalo and Wildlife define the subject, with plains animals placing the game in a frontier setting rather than an abstract cash-symbol environment. That framing keeps the high-value side of the paytable easy to read.

The wildlife treatment supports the contrast between ordinary symbol combinations and the coin-focused bonus screen. Animals carry the base game, while the Hold and Win round narrows attention to collected values.

Wildlife Buffalo

Features & Win Potential

The Wild Symbol substitutes for ordinary paying symbols but not the Scatter Symbol or coin-based Bonus symbols. Its role stays with standard combinations instead of replacing either bonus trigger.

Fixed Jackpots sit inside the Hold and Win route, while Sticky Symbols preserve landed coins for later Respins. That pairing makes retained positions more important than forming another ordinary symbol combination.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins begin when three Scatter Symbols land. Additional scatters can extend the round, and the reel set emphasizes the higher-paying Wildlife symbols alongside Wild and Scatter Symbols.

Hold and Win starts from six Bonus symbols. Those coins remain fixed for three Respins, each new arrival restores the counter, and the round stops when no Respins remain or the grid fills.

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). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (93.91%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,000×).

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.

01How does the Hold and Win round work?

Six or more coin symbols trigger the round. The triggering coins remain locked while empty positions respin, and every new coin resets the remaining counter. The feature ends when the counter expires or every position is filled.

02Does Buffalo Bonanza: Hold and Win have Free Spins?

Yes. Three scatter symbols trigger Free Spins, and additional scatters can add more spins during the round. The separate Hold and Win feature does not replace this bonus route.

03What is the maximum win?

The maximum published win is x10000. Fixed jackpot values can appear on coins during the Hold and Win round, while filling every available position ends that feature with its top fixed prize.
