The Buffalo Gold slot machine from Aristocrat is part of their popular Aristocrat series and boasts an excellent payout potential and bonus features that enhance gameplay. Available to both desktop computers and mobile devices, its classic five-reel, four-row layout offers up to 1024 ways for winning combinations to form across adjacent reels starting with the leftmost one; wild symbols act as multipliers that can replace other symbols to form winning ones.

This game offers a free-mode that enables players to try out its mechanics before wagering real cash. However, in order to access real money games they must register. Registration processes vary by casino but generally consist of entering personal details and providing proof of identity verification to verify accounts. Once registered they can deposit funds to begin playing and once winnings have accumulated they can withdraw them from their accounts.

Buffalo slots go beyond basic poker-ranked symbols from nines to aces by offering high-paying animal symbols, such as eagles, wolves, cougars and elk. In addition, gold coin scatter symbols can be scattered anywhere on the screen to trigger free spins; depending on how many scatters appear at once. Plus there is also a bonus wheel which awards extra symbols or even progressive jackpots!

Even though Buffalo slot machines are considered low-volatility games, it still takes some time for major wins to occur. The highest win ever recorded on one was $3 per bet; this win likely won’t repeat itself anytime soon due to how difficult it can be to trigger. Only lucky players will make it past the bonus round.

Attracting players to the game are its lucrative payouts, which are earned when players match symbols on a payline and create combinations of at least three identical symbols starting from leftmost reel. To do this, at least three identical symbols must appear consecutively on consecutive reels starting from leftmost one. As more than three matching symbols line up along a single row, your rewards increase. But for the greatest returns, five matching symbols on one line should produce a big win! Buffalo Gold goes beyond standard reel sets by including a scatter symbol which activates free spins and multipliers which multiply winnings two to three times. Players can collect golden buffalo heads during bonus rounds to add them to a counter at the top of their cabinet while turning some semi-premium symbols into higher paying ones.
