Grand Buffalo Hold and Win: Saddle Up the Buffalo as Wild Multipliers Lead You to 5,000x Rewards

BGaming sets the scene amidst the dusty canyons of the Wild West with Grand Buffalo Hold and Win. With progressive multipliers in the bonus, wild multipliers reaching up to 5x in the base game, and a 5,000x ceiling, I found myself willing to saddle up for this expedition.

It’s a five-reel setup built on BGaming’s TRUEWAYS mechanics, which allows wins to form across adjacent reels. In the grid, you’ll find pumas, elk, wolves, and eagles, with the buffalo taking center stage as the wild. This grid includes Lightning expand symbols and a progressive system tied to the jackpots.

During my time in these prairies, wins appeared every three to four spins, with returns ranging between 1x and 2.30x my bet. The wild multipliers did, on occasion, elevate matters, boosting my highest base-game win to 32x my bet.

What sets this title apart is the presence of two distinct feature paths. Landing three scatters gives an instant win, while more than three awards free spins, up to 20. On the other hand, landing coin or fireball symbols triggers the Hold and Win feature.

In my case, the free spins arrived promptly. After roughly thirty spins, five scatters granted me fifteen free spins, where progressive multipliers came into play. The result was a 121x return, which gave my bankroll the breathing space it was craving for so long.

There is also the possibility of extending the feature with additional scatters, though in my case, such fortune remained just out of reach. The Hold & Win feature proved less accommodating. It took me nearly ninety spins to trigger, and with jackpots on offer, my expectations were higher. Yet the outcome stood at just 34x the bet, without so much as a glimpse of those jackpots.

The bonus buy and ante bet options are available to improve your chances of triggering features. However, I chose not to use them, as past experience has shown that the cost can sometimes outweigh the rewards.

For me, Grand Buffalo Hold and Win ticks most of the boxes a slot should cover. Slightly higher symbol payouts and the addition of a gamble feature could have elevated it further. Still, I would consider coming back to this Wild West setting again.
