Slot Details

Buffalo Hunter is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 40 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols landing on a line from left to right only. You can roam the reel prairie on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has extreme volatility (10/10) with a default RTP of 96.01% and a hit frequency of roughly 1:3 spins. Some operators will offer the slot in the DX1 version with a lower RTP of 94.11%, always read the help files to find out which version you will be playing. Using the Nolimit Bonus Buy option will slightly increase the RTP based on feature you decide to purchase. The Stampede Super Bonus is the most expensive but also has the highest RTP percentage.

A blurred scenery of the American prairie, where the mighty buffalo roamed the plains in vast numbers in a not so distant past, is in the background of a majestic game window. A totem pole-style frame and a feature display flank the reels which are populated by the buffalo and other wild animals. A tribal flute soundtrack is the main audio on this slot.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from 10 through to A, each adorned with a tribal charm and awarding 3.75x to 5x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are complemented by deers, prairie foxes, pumas, eagles and the buffalo. Hit five on a line to win 6.25x to 50x your bet. A dreamcatcher marked with the word itself is the wild symbol, substituting for all regular pay symbols and also yielding 50x your stake when five land across the reels.  A tribal totem pole is the scatter while a swirl on a rock tile acts as the mystery symbol.

Buffalo Hunter Slot Features

Nolimit City created a slot that resembles the volatility of a real buffalo herd. Peaceful, even serene, with a soothing soundtrack most of the times but ready to burst into dramatic stampedes on any spin. All with a matching win potential that peaks at a blistering 12,467 times your bet. More than enough reasons to take a closer as to what will keep you on your toes should you spin the reels with the mighty buffalo.

The first signs of a big win stampede across the reel prairie are delivered by the Mystery Symbol. They can appear in full stacks on any spin and all landing in view on a spin will unveil a common pay symbol, except wilds or scatters. In the base game, this could lead to a mega win of 2,000 times your bet for a full screen in buffalos.

Buffalo Hunter – Stampede Super Bonus Free Spins

The buffalo herd is about to go into a full stampede when you land three, four or five scatters anywhere on the reels to trigger the Free Spins feature. There are three modes and the number of scatters on the triggering spin will determine which one you can play. Three or four scatters will get you 8 and 10 Free Spins respectively with the choice of Buffalo Horde or Prairie Multiplier modifiers. Land five scatters and you will trigger the ultimate Stampede Super Bonus with 12 Free Spins. Here’s what they entail:

• Buffalo Horde – High Volatility: All glowing buffalo symbols landing on a free spin are collected in the meters to the left of the game window (desktop). For every five buffalos, one pay symbol is upgraded to the buffalo symbol and +2 free spins are awarded. The order is deer, prairie fox, puma, eagle. Once all symbols are upgraded, you will have only mystery symbols, wilds, buffalos and card royals on the reels.
• Prairie Multiplier – Extreme Volatility: All glowing buffalo symbols on a free spin are collected in the meters to the left of the game window (desktop). For every five buffalos, the multiplier for one pay symbol and the buffalo is increased by x1 and +2 free spins are awarded. The order is deer, prairie fox, puma, eagle. Once 20 buffalos are collected, all premiums will have a multiplier of x5. However, only the respective wins are multiplied.
• Stampede Super Bonus – Extreme Volatility: Get ready for mayhem as both modifiers from the Buffalo Horde and Prairie Multiplier rounds are combined, giving you symbol upgrades, increasing multipliers of up to x5 and extra spins.

Lastly, those impatient among us slot players can use the NoLimit Bonus Feature Buy button to gain instant access to the free spins (restricted in some jurisdictions). You can spend 100x your default bet for the standard features or fork out a massive 600x (not a typo) for the Stampede Super Bonus.

Final Verdict

Yeehaw, what a game. While the mechanics are by no means new, the twists from Nolimit City transform Buffalo Hunter into an extremely volatile slot affair. Symbol upgrades were previously seen on their Dragon Tribe creation, however, the mechanic was brought into the mainstream by Thunderkick who included it on Pink Elephants and many other of their slots. But knowing the folks at Nolimit City, they took it all to a new level by giving players a range of features and volatility, albeit the choices are between very high and extreme. A perfect game for HV fans.
