Buffalo Blaze (Live22): six reels, stacked buffalo and the skull badge

Buffalo Blaze puts six reels in a carved wooden frame against a red-rock desert canyon, with a red HONGKONG badge on the corner. At six reels by four rows it is one of the wider grids on Live22, and the buffalo stack tall on most spins.

The symbols

• Buffalo, a shaggy brown head with curved horns, often stacked two or three high
• Tiger, fox, rhino and a green chameleon
• Gold coin with a feathered headdress
• Buffalo skull on a green star badge
• A, K, Q, J, 10 in plain dark serif letters

The skull badge turns up in the middle of a winning line, which suggests it is the wild. The headdress coin looks like the special symbol from the old page, but nothing in the captures confirms what it does.

Two line wins at bet 50

• "Line 6 Wins 10": fox on reel 1, the skull badge on reel 2, fox on reel 3. The skull between the two foxes is the clearest sign it substitutes. The spin paid 40 in total.
• "Line 25 Wins 20": three stacked buffalo across reels 1 to 3. The spin paid 280, over five times the stake, because the buffalo stacks covered several lines at once.

That second screen is what this game is built around: when buffalo stack on the first few reels, many lines pay together.

The jackpot message

Idle, the message box reads "3 JACKPOT SYMBOLS TRIGGERS JACKPOT GAME." The GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR and MINI meters run across the top of the hero screen.

What the old page claimed

The old page said the coins are scatters that start free spins with wins tripled, and that three special buffalo during the feature turn on five spins with fully wild reels. That is how several buffalo-themed slots from other makers work, so it is plausible here too. It was not captured, so read the i page before you count on it.

Stake

All captures were at 50. The swings on a six-reel stacked game are wider than on a 5 x 3, so a 280 spin can follow a long run of 10s and 20s. Keep the stake at a level where twenty quiet spins in a row do not end the session.
