By the Rivers of Buffalo Slots
For unknown and inexplicable reasons, man has always been drawn into the mysticism and occult values of ancient ways of life. Be it the Great Pyramid of Giza or majestic ruins of Incan Temples at Machu Pichu, getting lured by the charm of these monuments is nearly irresistible.
Pitching in the same line, GameOS developed a fantastic blend of mystique Native American vibe and a quintessential casino theme of (no points for guessing!) Las Vegas in By the Rivers of Buffalo – a blend that is sure to set your wild night of online slotting alight.
And having fun here means much more than just enjoying the gameplay – if you know what we mean…
You Read It Here First!
Being an all-slot website, sometimes we experience an overdose of slots of all kinds – literally, all kinds. This is when we start hoping we come across a slot that will truly keep us guessing all the time. And if we stumble upon a slot like By the Rivers of Buffalo every single time we pray for one, we would be one happier bunch of motivated slotters.
To put it very concisely – we absolutely loved the theme of wild beasts in two settlements separated by a river (much like A Tale of Two Cities), the graphics and the sound effects used here. Managing the balance between graphical richness and modesty of design is a rather tough job (ask Degas or Munch, if you will), and GameOS designers have seen to it that it remains a job mighty well done.
What’s A Win If It Comes Easy?
Napoleon – that lion of a man and mountain of the character – often told his army that if you win too easily, that battle wasn’t meant to be fought.
But surely, winning some is good, right?
That’s what we think! And GameOS developers have given you a perfect chance to win here with 5 standard reels and 1,024 fixed ways of winning.
You did read that right, indeed – that’s one thousand and twenty four fixed ways of winning over just five reels having four rows each.
Making Wagers
Making wagers is really easy in almost every GameOS slot, and By the Rivers of Buffalo is not an exception.
This is a slot that is specifically designed to click with high-rollers. As a result, wagers of up to $100 per coin (that’s right – per coin) are possible here. With the maximum coin allowance per spin fixed at 500. This means that if you wish, you could wager an astronomically high amount of $5,000 per spin.
We doubt anyone would be adventurous enough to do that, but if they do, an outside chance to win the jackpot of $1.5 million will probably justify their decision in some parallel universe.
A Wild, Wild Time
Most of the regular symbols used in this slot are wild beasts of the Wild West. From buffaloes and bison to foxes and coyotes, pretty much all the wildlife of the heartlands of America appears on various slots.
For most symbols, a fixed jackpot of 300 coins is assigned if five-of-one-kind is the combination you manage to strike. Otherwise, for various other combos, you will earn corresponding coin rewards that can be easily cashed out.
Going Overboard, Are We?
We certainly are not! If you thought 300 coins was a huge deal for a high-roller slot, think again – because this number can be easily added to heavily with some help from the special symbols of this slot.
The buffalo symbol is the flagship symbol here and can be treated as a bonus trigger. Three or more of these (stacked) trigger a bonus round of Double-or-Nothing sort of gamble feature.
The wild symbol of By the Rivers of Buffalo is a traditional Native American totem that can bring some sweet luck back to your ways by doubling all winnings for the given round. It must be noted that the wild appears only on non-terminal reels (reels 2, 3 and 4).
But that’s not all. The scatter of the slot is a generic sunrise symbol that can trigger up to 20 free spins. You can retrigger free spins within the free spin round twice – meaning that you can virtually multiply you winning amount manifolds over.
Our Verdict
By the Rivers of Buffalo scores heavily in our books, as far as the gameplay, appearances, theme execution and graphics are concerned.
Even though there are over 1,000 ways to win available, the fact that combos are valid only from the left to the right significantly reduces the pool to draw from.
Even though this one is best suited for high rollers, beginners can choose to give this a go, as long as they can keep their wits about while wagering.
