Buffalo Hunter

Buffalo Hunter, Nolimit City’s new slot

Reel in a win with this impressive new hunter slot from Nolimit City. When you first hear about this slot, Buffalo Hunter, I would not have thought you will be particularly impressed. When I first viewed the slot, I did not give much credit to the North American grassland theme, but when you actually take the time to spin the reels and see the implementation of the features, it makes all the difference. There’s some impressive features and high volatility, there is something for all to look forward to!

This free slot machine is played across a game play area of 5 reels and 4 rows, with a combined total of 40 active pay lines for the player to win across. There are some impressive wins for the player to line up, with up to 12,647 times the stake available as the reels spin. To win this exciting jackpot, the player can use the free spins, the bonus game, mystery symbols, wilds and even the scatters to achieve it!

Bet Strategy

With Buffalo Hunter, there is a large range of potential bets for the player to spin the reels with. These start from 20p and increases all the way up to £100; this is average for the slots on the market at the minute and we think it is the perfect range for any player, regardless of the depth of their wallet, allowing for all to enjoy.

The pay outs from the slot are pretty impressive, as mentioned abovem and it Is not hard to see why this is the case, once you begin to spin the reels on the free spins and see the massive multipliers that you can be working with. The biggest prize that the game has to offer is approximately 12,647 times the stake which offers a maximum win of up to £1,264,700 from a single spin!
On the downside of this incredible amount of money on offer, Buffalo Hunter often ends up paying out less frequently and is highly volatile, with a 10/10 rating. This does make the slot riskier and sees us putting it into the category of games played by more veteran players rather than new or causal players. Putting the short-term risk aside, the RTP is almost bang on average, set at 96.01%.

Symbols to spin with

There are five lower and five higher paying symbols at work during Buffalo Hunter. These are well-designed and all in keeping with the design and theme of the overall slot.
The lower paying symbols are the classic royals of A, K, Q, J, and 10. While basic, they link well to the theme and incorporate colours to keep the player in tune with the theme. The higher paying symbols are depicted as five different wild animals. These include the coyote, jaguar, mountain goat, American eagle, and Buffalo; each of these can be found in North America which a neat link to the theme. The Buffalo is the most lucrative of the slots with 5 matching symbols creating a win of 50 times the stake for the player!

There is also wild symbol which is depicted as a dream catcher and can be utilised to improve the chance of winning during this slot. These wilds will replace all symbols except for the scatter; not only that but the wild is worth up to 50 times the stake by itself when matching 5 on a line. Alongside the scatters there are mystery symbols too, which are mentioned more below.

Free spin features and how to unlock them

As mentioned, there is the mystery symbols which can be added into the spins and will transform into one matching symbol, a single symbol for all the positions with mystery symbols. This will help to boost the wins from the spins for the player.
The scatter symbol will land on the reels and will trigger one of three different types of free spins if three, four or five land on the reels. The regular spins of Buffalo Horde and Prairie Multiplier are triggered when you land 3 or 4 scatters on the reels – this offers 8 or 10 rounds in the chosen game. Landing 5 scatters will unlock the Stampede Super Bonus!
The Buffalo Horde free spins see the player collecting particular symbols into special meters at the sides of the reels so that they can be transformed into the higher value Buffalo after filling the meter.
The Prairie Multiplier free spins have a higher volatility, but also a better potential for wins, where you fill the animal meters with additional multipliers of up to 5x to boost the winnings of certain symbols!
The Stampede Super Bonus requires the five scatters as mentioned and will give you free spins where both the animal transformations and the multipliers are available to the player.
There is also a feature buy which will cost between 100 times and 600 times the stake in order to gain immediate access to any of the free spins – check with the casino if this feature is available.
