Not even out for a full year yet, Buffalo Grand is already closing in on its glorified predecessor in terms of demand. It is just about everywhere, enter any casino and you'll find it - albeit taken and with a long waiting line behind it. This machine is not just a precocious original-wannabe, despite the base game, reel symbols and sound effects being a rehash of the old Buffalo slot machine. Fortunately, there's more to it than a bit of recycled content. Of course, it's 2016 and the competition is ruthless, so now we have a fancy cabinet, advanced CGI and so forth, but more importantly we have a new and improved gameplay with a spark from the good-old flare of one of the most popular slot machines ever to dominate casino floors.
Buffalo Grand Slot Characteristics
Aristocrat officially introduced this machine at NIGA 2015 Indian Gaming Tradeshow and Convention, where we could get a first good look at its grand new award-winning Arc Double cabinet and the surround sound iChair. While it is true that the overall design is essentially the same as the other slots in this series,it does look pretty good and very new on the 42" high-definition curved display. This cabinet comes equipped with a touchscreen as well, but if you're old-school, there are buttons too.
These are just hardware improvements, and as such not a decisive factor in Buffalo Grand's appeal. What is it then that makes this series so persistently sought after? We are not really sure - after all, the reasons might differ for everyone. But, if we had to guess, we'd say it is the particular combination of betting options, pay-line structure and inner workings of its features that puts this slot on that golden middle ground between very dangerous and very generous. Huge wins are definitely possible, especially in its simple, yet interesting bonus features that rely heavily on Wild multipliers for that very purpose. Recently, this machine granted an incredible $ 1,22 million jackpot to a very lucky winner at Sycuan Casino in San Diego - more than half of its total payout up until now!
As an integral part of its exciting gameplay, Buffalo Grand offers 1,024 was to win instead of a standard pay-line structure. With a maximum bet of 375 coins and coin denominations ranging from a single cent up to $ 20, wagers per spin can be as high as $ 7,500, which is pretty crazy indeed. Four levels of progressive jackpot are available to players, but only those who bet max will have a chance at the highest prize. For all others - bets can be as low as 75 credits per spin.
Buffalo Grand Slot Features
Those of you who played and loved the famed Buffalo slot machine will be happy to hear all the old reel symbols are still there. Which means you'll get to see eagles, wolfs, mountain lions, buffalo and deer among the high-value portion, while the low-paying ones include A, J, K, Q, 9 and 10. During the base game, there can be an occasional small win, but luckily the free spins bonus is easy to hit and that's where all the magic is contained.
The Free Spins Bonus is triggered with three Gold Coin scatters landing on the reels at the same time, and may award up to 50 free rounds, Hopefully, players will be lucky enough to get the Sunset Wild on a winning line during this bonus, because it will become a Wild multiplier for the next round. If it combines with high-value buffalo symbols for example, high prizes will be stored to your bankroll.
Conclusion
We think its immense popularity says enough about the Buffalo Grand slot. A sort of a vintage look, simple features and a lot of exciting moments are some of the things you can expect with this famous machine.
