18+ Only. Play Responsibly.
The buffalo entered on the first reel and kept going.
Second reel.
Third.
Fourth.
Every position he crossed turned into a glowing hoofprint.
He stopped near the far side of the prairie.
Three Wild marks remained behind him.
Buffalo Goes Wild II had taken the title fairly literally.
The buffalo was here.
He had gone Wild.
Several pieces of scenery had been converted during transit.
I was playing at €1.20.
The reels sat under a huge orange sky with mountains in the distance, dry grass, eagles, horns, carved totems and enough dust to make every buffalo arrival look as though the landscape itself had been warned too late.
The ordinary symbols paid normally enough.
Three eagles gave €3.60.
A horn combination returned €4.80.
Then the first proper Buffalo appeared.
He landed on the left.
Matching prairie symbols stretched ahead.
The animal lowered his head.
Charge.
Across reel two.
Then three.
Then four.
The crossed positions became Wild Hoofprints.
The next spin landed eagles around one of them.
Win.
€6.
The hoofprint disappeared after helping.
The other two faded as well.
That established the rule of the prairie.
Buffalo moved through.
Ground remembered briefly.
Then the dust took everything back.
The more interesting version came several spins later.
Another Buffalo entered from reel one.
One of the positions ahead already contained a glowing hoofprint from the previous spin.
He crossed it.
The mark flashed.
x2.
The charge continued.
A second hoofprint appeared farther along.
On the next result, horns connected through the doubled trail.
The payment reached €18 before the route faded.
The buffalo had trampled the same patch of land twice and somehow increased its mathematical fertility.
After that, the reels got less cooperative.
Buffalo on reel three.
Nowhere to charge.
Buffalo on reel one with only one matching symbol ahead.
Short run.
One hoofprint.
No useful follow-up.
Another Buffalo arrived on reel five, which was an excellent place to begin a horizontal charge if your plan was immediately to encounter the edge of the screen.
He stood there.
The mountains remained impressed.
A Sunset Scatter appeared.
Then another on a later spin.
Large glowing discs over the prairie.
Two did nothing.
Several ordinary spins passed between them.
Eagles.
Horns.
Cards.
A Buffalo came in from the left and stopped after two reels.
Another entered from the right and achieved almost the same distance in the opposite direction.
The species had apparently invented commuting.
Then three Sunset Scatters landed.
The sky darkened.
The horizon turned red.
Ten Stampede Spins.
The first Free Spin put one Buffalo near the left and another farther right.
The left one charged three positions.
The right one moved two.
Hoofprints remained across both routes.
Next spin.
The marks stayed.
That was already different.
Another Buffalo crossed the middle trail.
x2.
The hoofprints glowed harder.
A line of eagles touched one of them.
Small win.
The trail remained.
Third Stampede Spin.
No Buffalo.
Several premium symbols landed in completely useless places.
The prairie now contained expensive hoofprints and nothing prepared to walk across them.
Fourth spin.
Two Buffaloes.
Both charged.
Their paths overlapped in the centre.
The same hoofprint got hit again.
x3.
Another nearby mark stayed x2.
The middle of the reels had become a heavily travelled buffalo motorway.
The next symbols fell.
Horns.
Eagles.
A carved animal symbol.
Not enough across the x3.
€7.20.
The stampede had achieved infrastructure.
The wildlife had declined to use it.
Six spins remained.
A Buffalo charged through the left side.
Another trail.
Then a second animal crossed the existing centre route.
x5.
That was the first time the screen looked properly dangerous.
Several Wild Hoofprints sat together.
One x5.
Another x3.
Two normal Wild marks.
The next spin arrived.
Buffalo.
Eagle.
Horn.
Another Buffalo.
More premium symbols.
Everything looked busy.
Almost nothing lined up through the x5.
A small eagle connection used one ordinary Wild.
€9.60.
The x5 sat directly underneath a horn that had no relatives nearby.
The most valuable patch of grass in the American West was supporting one decorative cow accessory.
Another Free Spin.
The x5 trail remained.
A Buffalo crossed part of it again.
The screen flashed.
More dust.
More hoofprints.
The multiplier stayed alive.
Then the symbols landed around it.
Cards.
One eagle.
Two horns separated by a low symbol.
Nothing substantial.
The herd had spent several spins repeatedly improving the road and almost no time bringing traffic.
Three Stampede Spins remained.
One paid €4.80.
The next finally connected a longer line through x3.
€13.20.
Useful.
Still nowhere near what all the charging suggested.
Final Free Spin.
Two Buffaloes landed.
One on the far left.
One in the middle.
They both ran.
Dust covered most of the reels.
Hoofprints everywhere.
The x5 still visible.
The premium symbols dropped.
A line formed.
But it touched only the x2 portion of the trail.
€10.80.
End.
The whole feature finished around €48.
Ten Stampede Spins.
Repeated charges.
Overlapping hoofprints.
x5 ground.
Enough dust to temporarily misplace a mountain.
€48.
The base game returned.
The sky brightened.
The persistent hoofprints disappeared.
I stayed at €1.20.
First spin.
Nothing.
Second.
Buffalo on reel one.
Ahead of him sat matching prairie symbols almost the entire way across.
He lowered his head.
Charge.
Reel two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Full width.
Every crossed position became Wild.
The buffalo disappeared off the far side.
The trail stayed.
Next spin.
Another Buffalo landed on reel one.
Same route.
He ran through the existing hoofprints.
x2.
Then another upgrade farther along.
x3.
The whole centre of the screen lit.
Eagles landed above.
Buffalo symbols appeared lower down.
One premium combination stretched through several Wild positions.
The x3 trail joined.
The counter moved.
€18.
€34.
Past €50.
The connection continued through the Wild route.
The payment stopped around €86.
That was the biggest hit of the session.
Not inside the Stampede Spins.
Not while the prairie was full of overlapping buffalo traffic.
Immediately afterward.
One buffalo crossed the whole screen.
Another followed the same footprints.
The ordinary game did in two spins what the bonus had spent ten trying to arrange.
A smaller horn win followed.
€12.
That was enough to push the session comfortably ahead.
I left the stake at €1.20 for one final spin.
No Buffalo.
No Scatter.
One eagle.
A few card symbols.
Nothing connected.
On reel five, one glowing hoofprint from the previous charge remained for its final moment.
Then it faded.
The herd had already crossed the horizon.
One footprint had stayed behind to confirm they had, in fact, gone wild.
