Similar to its predecessor, Big Buffalo Megaways also comes in as a balanced mixture of classic symbols and Wild Western beasts. Unlike the higher themed portions of the paytable, lower paying symbols (card ranks 9-A) do not pay out for a combination of two symbols. 

For a full list of the symbols as well as their potential payouts, refer to the table below:

Apart from the paytable, Big Buffalo Megaways comes equipped with two special symbols - the wild and the scatter. The wild symbol can pop up on reels 2 through 6 and substitutes for all symbols except the free spins scatter. In translation, the wild could help form winning combinations. 

On the other hand, the scatter has one job - triggering the Free Games feature- To do so, players need to collect three or more Free Spins scatters anywhere on the reels. 

Big Buffalo Megaways comes stacked with more than a few bonus features. Below, you’ll find details about all the features you could encounter. 

Free Games Feature

As mentioned, the Free Games feature is triggered by getting three or more Free Spins scatter symbols anywhere on the reels:

• 3 scatters: 8 free spins
• 4 scatters: 15 free spins
• 5 scatters: 25 free spins
• 6 scatters: 100 free spins

During the Free Spins round, wilds can appear on reels 2 through 6 with multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x. These multipliers are applied to the winning combos they are part of, and if more than one multiplier wild lands in a combination, the multipliers are multiplied together for an even bigger boost.

Additional free spins can even be retriggered by getting 2 or more scatters during the feature, providing an infinite number of free spins.

Ante Bet Feature

By activating the Ante Bet feature, players increase their stake by 25% and double the chances of triggering the Free Spins feature. Simply click on the slider to the left of the reels to activate this option.

Buy In Feature

The Buy In feature allows players to purchase entry into the Free Spins round for 100x their stake. This option guarantees that at least three scatter symbols will land on the next spin to trigger the free spins. Note that this feature is not available in the UK.

As you’d assume, Big Buffalo Megaways has its predecessor, Big Buffalo, a slot that is definitely worth a spin or two. Along with its predecessor, other Western slots worth trying out at BetVictor include titles like Black Bull, Blazing Bison Gold Blitz, and Bronco Big Bounty.
