Buffalo Mania Megaways Review

We return once again to the legendary and mythological North American prairie, and Red Tiger has conjured up a pretty idyllic work of art to serve as a backdrop in Buffalo Mania Megaways. The peaceful buffalos are not always as calm as what you see here though, and they can stampede in your direction at random times on the grid. This is how you get up to 10 extra top-tier buffalo symbols in random positions.

The Megaways engine helps keep the base game somewhat varied as well, with up to 117,649 ways to win, and the Cascading Wins mechanic gives you indefinite winning streaks per spin. In addition, there are full-reel Super Wilds to look forward to, and these come with Ways Multipliers up to x7. The 19,995x potential is unusually solid for being Red Tiger, and also above average for the Megaways engine. The theme might be overused, but this one has enough going for it to be worth a closer look.

Buffalo Mania Megaways Slot Features

The premium animal symbols pay between 1.2 and 7.5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the number of win ways vary between 64 and 117,649 per spin. Each reel comes with between 2 and 7 positions per spin, and winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic.

The gaps are filled by new and/or existing symbols dropping down from above, and this process repeats as long as you keep winning.

The Buffalo Stampede feature can trigger at any given time, and you will then get between 3 and 10 of the top-tier buffalo symbols in random positions on the grid. The stampede triggers in the middle of the spin, which means that even more buffalo symbols may land organically to add to the possible win.

You can land Super Wilds on the 4 middle reels only, and they come with a Ways Multiplier between x2 and x7. The Ways Multiplier number indicates how many symbols the wild counts as when it’s part of a winning combo. Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and a single wild can thus count as up to 7 symbols. Super Wilds always fill the whole reel when they land.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, or 5 scatters in view, and you get 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively.

You win +5 extra spins when 2 scatters land in the same cascading sequence in the bonus round, and the progressive win multiplier starts at x1. The multiplier increases by +1 per win, up to x15 at best. The multiplier never resets during the feature, and it will boost any win you land.

You get a brief taste of the base game, before we trigger the bonus round at 0:33 into the 2:51-minute highlights video. This gave us the minimum of 10 starting free spins, but we won +5 extra spins as well. You can see for yourself how it all went by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The fog hanging over the prairie almost makes the buffalos look like mirages, and it gives the whole presentation an mystical aura that we admittedly enjoyed. We have seen the North American animal and buffalo theme countless times though, but Red Tiger has a knack for solid visuals and making games that stick out a bit from the herd in that sense. That being said, their Megaways releases tend to follow a similar blueprint each time.

It’s not a bad blueprint though, and both the Buffalo Stampede feature and the Super Wilds keep the base game far more interesting than your run of the mill Megaways release. The bonus round is hardly super original though, and capping the win multiplier at x15 seems a bit stingy as most releases come with an unlimited win multiplier.

However, it’s hard to complain when the 19,995x potential is way above average, and also unusually solid for this developer.
