Buffalo Rising Megaways Slot Game Background
Blueprint Gaming is well-known for a portfolio of slots that feature stunning graphics alongside fun and exciting gameplay features, and Buffalo Rising Megaways is no exception, being built from the ground up with the Megaways mechanic in mind. That means there’s no original Buffalo Rising slot that Blueprint revamped using Big Time Gaming’s proprietary game mechanic. The result is an exceptional American outdoors-themed slot.
Buffalo Rising Megaways Game Design
Buffalo Rising Megaways is a 6-reel online casino game with anywhere between 2 - 7 rows, depending on the on-screen action and the size of the symbols in view. As is also usual in Megaways slots, the game has an extra horizontal reel that in this game sits above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the main game grid. The slot also offers the standard (for a Megaways slot) of 117,649 paylines and a potential maximum payout of 10,000x the stake.
The slot's setting is the great expanse of the American West. The foreground shows a rocky and dusty plain littered with the odd tree, while the bottom-left and right corners reveal spare vegetation just out of focus. Behind this are canyons that rise like natural skyscrapers. These stand out starkly against the bright blue sky. There are a couple of neat touches, like the wind blowing through the prairie and clouds scudding across the sky.
The main game grid takes up most of the in-game screen and is set in an ornate golden; this extends to the horizontal reel. The game title rests near the top-right of the screen, and the Megaways counter near the top-left. Symbols comprise royal playing cards and wild animals (naturally). With regards to the music, Blueprint eschews the usual banjo-dominated soundtrack for an immersive audio presentation inspired by Native American music.
Buffalo Rising Megaways Mobile
Buffalo Rising Megaways, like all the online slots available on the Lottomart site, can be played in a variety of ways like desktop PC and all mobile platforms, including tablet, Android and Apple devices.
Buffalo Rising Megaways Slot Symbols
The game has 13 symbols, all fitting the great American outdoors theme to a tee.
The lowest-paying symbols on the paytable are the 9, 10, and J royal playing card symbols with a payout of 1x the stake for 6-of-a-kind on the reels, followed by the Q, K, and A symbols with a slightly higher payout of 1.5x the stake.
The Moose is the lowest-paying animal symbol with 2x the stake for 6-of-a-kind on the reels. On the heels of this is the Wolf symbol worth 2.5x the stake.
Grizzly Bear next, and this symbol has a payout of 5x the stake for 6-of-a-kind on the reels. Meanwhile, the highest-paying symbol in the game is the Buffalo, with a payout of 50x the stake.
No self-respecting slot would be without its bonus symbols, and Buffalo Rising Megaways is no exception. The slot’s Wild, represented by a golden buffalo symbol, substitutes for all other symbols apart from the Scatter.
The Scatter symbol is represented by a large purple diamond and is the key to triggering the Free Spins feature. Finally, the slot comes with a Mystery symbol represented by a prairie at sunset; it transforms into any symbol apart from the Scatter.
Buffalo Rising Megaways Bonus Features
Buffalo Rising Megaways offers a few stampeding bonus features sure to get the excitement levels going!
Cascading Feature
Every winning symbol is part of a reaction. This means that all symbols in winning combinations disappear from the reels, making room for symbols from above the reels and from the right of the top symbols. This process continues until no more winning combinations are formed.
Free Spins Feature
The feature starts upon landing 4 Scatter symbols on the reels. Any additional Scatters above the four needed will award extra free spins. Also in play during the Free Spins features is an Unlimited Win Multiplier that starts at 1x and increases after every reaction.
Players are given four options at the start of the Free Spins round:
- 15 Free Spins + 1x Unlimited Win Multiplier.
- 10 Free Spins + 5x Unlimited Win Multiplier.
- 5 Free Spins + 10x Unlimited Win Multiplier.
- Mystery Choice + random Unlimited Win Multiplier.
The Mystery Choice can award any combination of Free Spins + Unlimited Win Multiplier, for example 15 Free Spins + 10x Unlimited Win Multiplier.
Megaways Feature
The incorporation of the Megaways engine means that each reel can reveal a certain number of symbols in view. Landing consecutive symbols on all reels after a spin could lead to the maximum 117,649 ways to win.
Buffalo Rising Megaways Slot Summary
