Buffalo Mania Slots

Some slots come out with the basics of the theme from the start, and we can add Buffalo Mania to the list of titles this applies to. We've always loved animal based slots, so can we add this one to our list of favorites on that topic? We have tried it already to give us the knowledge to write this article, so allow us to share what we discovered with you here.

Who developed this slot game?

We can confirm the game comes from Realtime Gaming, known for short as RTG.

This information guarantees that you'll have a demo version to try

Another piece of good news here, as it means you can try it before working out whether you're heading for the real version too.

Is this an animal themed slot?

It is, of course, as they've name checked the buffalo in the title. It doesn't stop there either, as there are lots of other creatures coming to the fore in this game.

Expect some impressive design elements in there as well

It always helps increase the appeal when a slot game looks good, and we think this one scores highly on this count. You can look for plenty of detail and color as you play.

Buffalo Mania: The facts, the features, and more

Let's lay down the basics for this one first. We have five reels in play, but they appear as a pyramid rather than as a rectangle. This is because of the 3-4-5-4-3 format in play. We should also highlight the three progressive prizes available, and these can be found atop those reels.

The buffalo appears as the wild here, shown in a side profile in gold. This replaces most other icons except for the logo used in the game. That's because this is the scatter.

Paylines don't feature here

You'll get all the possible ways to spot prize-winning combinations on those reels instead. With the unusual format, this means there are 720 ways available.

Are you ready to place some bets?

Try this in the demo first, so you can get the hang of how it all works. One bet per play is the way to go, and it looks like the lowest of these is 20 cents. Other values are available too though.

Does the game offer a paytable to read?

Yes, you can go through to this by accessing the info logo on the bottom left when you view the game screen. It's inside a circle, making it easier to see.

Does Buffalo Mania include any bonus features?

Watch out for some slippery wilds. If one lands on any of the three middle reels in the game, they'll drop one position on each subsequent spin, covering whatever might be in that position. The higher they appear on the reel, the longer they'll stay in play.

Those slippery wilds can also arrive in the free spins round

Watch for the scattered logo to land on reels two, three, and four at the same time. When this happens, you can take your pick from the three available options. You could score an instant prize, but you might get some free games instead, with up to 15 available from your pick. If you get the instant payout, it will be worth a maximum of 50x the triggering bet.

You may end up receiving another pick, in which case you'd get a multiplier or a maximum of 10 more free spins to play. No matter how many spins you get - if that's the outcome - once inside those spins, there is a chance to get a retrigger.

RTP details are not available

This won't come as a surprise if you have ever played any other slots from this developer.

How highly do we score the Buffalo Mania slot game?

This is a solid offering, with slippery wilds, a pick element, and the chance for instant prizes or free spins from that part of the game too. We think this is a quirky animal slot, worthy of eight points out of 10.

Keep an eye on those progressive prizes

We all know the odds of snagging a progressive jackpot are the longest we can think of. However, a regular bet on the reels does still put you in the running for the biggest prizes, which is great to know. Some slots require a bigger bet to gain that position, so it's nice to see you can play this one without doing that.

Entertainment comes from the practice game

And some knowledge too, of course, as you'll get an idea of how everything works before you switch to the real game.

Play from 20 cents per go

If you do decide that Buffalo Mania is for you, you'll be able to check out the real thing whenever you're ready. Adjust your budget, look at the minimum bet of 20 cents, and make sure you're happy to go ahead before doing so.

Mobile availability

Buffalo Mania is cool to play on a computer, but you can of course play on Android and iOS devices as well. No download required either - just access the casino, choose the game, and start playing.
