Buffalo Hunter is an animal themed video slot from game provider Nolimit city. The slot takes us upon a trip to old American as we learn the power and importance of the mighty buffalo, with the story being played out to us across 5 reels and 40 fixed paylines. Players can experience a total of 3 exciting bonus rounds, where stacked symbols and multipliers can create epic wins!

BUFFALO HUNTER THEME, STAKES, PAYS & SYMBOLS

Buffalo themed slots always tend to be popular amongst players, and Nolimit City have tapped into their old Indian spiritual consciousness to conjure up a delight of visual and audio treats. The background to the reels is one of a prairie, where an ominous sky flashes past whilst you play, with the sound of soothing panpipes accompanying gameplay throughout. 

As we move over to the paytable we see that the lower paying section is made up of the classic royal cards 10 through to the ace, where pays of up to 5x can be achieved when winning combos are formed through them. The higher value symbols of the game comprise of the dear, fox, puma, eagle and buffalo, where a 5 of a kind win will pay 6.25x, 7.5x, 15x, 20x and 50x respectively. 

Spinning the reels and getting into the action on Buffalo Hunter can cost as little as €0.20 a spin, with the highest stake on the slot reaching €100 a play. As always, Nolimit City offer players a vast amount of stakes to play at, which is highlighted on Buffalo Hunter with the 8 bet sizes that can be played at that range from €2 down to the minimum stake.

BUFFALO HUNTER MYSTERY SYMBOLS

A bit of extra spice added to the base game on Buffalo Hunter is the mystery symbol. This can land during any spin that takes place, and when the reels have stopped all instances of the mystery symbol will transform into the same randomly chosen symbol from the paytable. 

BUFFALO HUNTER FREE SPIN FEATURE

To get into the free spin feature on Buffalo Hunter you will need to land 3 or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. The more scatters that you can land then the more free spins you will be awarded with as we have highlighted below.

• 3 Scatters - 8 Free Spins.
• 4 Scatters - 10 Free Spins.
• 5 Scatters - 12 Free Spins.

If you have triggered the bonus with 3 or 4 scatter symbols then you can choose between two bonus features which we will now discuss. A 5 scatter trigger will initiate the highest possible bonus round, which we will go into more detail about later in the review.

So once a 3 or 4 scatter trigger has been achieved, you can choose to play either the Buffalo Horde bonus or the Prairie Multiplier bonus. Firstly we will look at the Buffalo Horde bonus and what you expect from it.

Once under way, you will notice that all premium paying symbols are stacked to the left hand side of the game reels. The aim of the Buffalo Horde bonus is to land as many of the Buffalo symbols that contain special energy as possible. Each one of these symbols that hits will transfer its special energy over to the lowest value premium symbol to help upgrade it.

It will take 5 energy boosts for a symbol to be upgraded. Once it has been upgraded that symbol will transform to the buffalo and you will be awarded with 2 additional free spins.

The Prairie Multiplier bonus differs slightly from the Buffalo Horde free spins. Again you will need the special buffalo symbols to land in view, and again their energy will transfer over to the premium paying symbols. This time however, instead of upgrading to a buffalo, the symbol will increase in multiplier value by x1 and so will the buffalo.

Each time that you complete an upgrade all currently upgraded symbols and the buffalo will increase in value by x1, up to a maximum of x5. You will also be awarded with 2 extra spins each time that an upgrade is completed.

The pinnacle of the slot and the creme de la creme as far as bonus rounds are considered, is the Stampede Super Bonus that is triggered when 5 scatter symbols land in view. 

As with the two previous bonus rounds, the special buffalo symbol is needed to upgrade the premium paying symbols that are stacked to the left of the reels. This time when the symbol is upgraded it will become a buffalo and its multiplier will increase by x1 in value.

This increase will happen each time that a symbol is upgraded, with the maximum the multiplier value can reach being x5. As with the previous bonuses, each symbol upgrade will also add 2 additional free spins.

Players who are from a region where the bonus buy option is still allowed will be able to get straight into the action on Buffalo Hunter.

To buy a 3 or 4 scatter trigger it will cost you 100x your current stake. If you would like to buy the top feature on the game it will cost you 600x your current stake.

Those who are familiar with the world of slots will be inclined to think that this is Nolimit City's take on Thunderkicks Pink elephants 2, and to be fair you'd probably be right. However, this is Nolimit we are talking about, so you have to expect some super high volatility and awesome gameplay to go with it.

This is not the first time that we have seen players on Nolimit City slots given the opportunity to select the volatility of the bonuses that are offered to them, with Deadwood being a good example of that. Whilst both bonus rounds can still pay you well, there is of course a risk reward factor in play which adds an element of excitement to the game.

Hitting the 5 scatter trigger is of course the dream here, and as we have seen in previous titles from this game developer, their most volatile features can pay some absolutely massive wins! 

To conclude, Buffalo Hunter is another solid addition to the growing game catalogue of Nolimit City, and in our opinion a better game than both Pink Elephant slots and Gorilla Kingdom. Give it a try and see what you think.
