Buffalo 50 Slot – Free Demo

Fifty fixed lines on a five-by-four grid

Buffalo 50 is a video slot from Endorphina, with 5 reels, 4 rows and 50 paylines. The 50 lines are fixed, so there is no way to play fewer of them.

From 0.50 to 200 a spin, Buffalo 50 is available. After a win, the Risk Game lets you try to double it up to 10 times by picking a card higher than the dealer's.

Panthers and eagles at the top of the pay table

The premium symbols are shown by panthers and eagles, and the best symbols are the panther and the eagle. They pay 10x for 5 of a kind. The screenshot shows a spin at a 20.00 stake paying 80.00, with 30.00 of that coming from line 37 alone.

The bull stacks

The bull is the Wild symbol in this slot, and it substitutes for everything except the Scatter. Buffalo Blitz and Stampede Buffalo are two other slots that also carry a buffalo in the title. It lands stacked in the base game and in Free Games.

Three coins on the middle reels

3 Scatter coins on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger the Free Games feature, and for the length of the 5 Free Games, the bull Wilds land stacked during Free Games. The 3 coins also pay 2x the stake on their own, which came to 40.00 credits on each of my triggers.

Free Games can be retriggered. None of my 5 rounds retriggered, so each one ran its 5 Free Games and ended.

Our Minty Verdict: five rounds of Free Games brought in 42% of what I won over 450 spins, which leaves the lines carrying the bulk of it, and they still let a 10,000.00 balance slide to 8,246.00 at an 80.5% session return.

What 450 spins at a 20-credit stake returned

When I tested Buffalo 50 I struggled at times to trigger the bonus. I played 450 spins at a 20.00 stake, starting from a balance of 10,000.00 credits. This was a little unexpected for a slot that is neither high volatility nor of high potential. Of those 450 spins, 167 paid something, and 103 of the paying ones returned less than the stake. It took me exactly 63 spins to trigger the first bonus, which is reasonable, but for the third bonus I had to grind through 259 spins, and the cause for the low bonus rate is however probably owing to a big share of the payouts being assigned to the main game. The 5 rounds paid 3,008.00 credits in total, which was 42% of everything I won.

Later in the session I did land bonuses a little more often. The best round had already come on spin 101, paying 1,920.00, or 96 times the stake. I actually managed to trigger the Free Games after just 21 spins. That quick one paid 108.00, the smallest of the five at 5.4 times the stake. But still, this can be a little of a dicey slot without much prospect of remaining ahead, or even a chance to hit a big win on a game where the max win "only" pays 1,000x. I finished with 7,246.00 won from 9,000.00 wagered, a session return of 80.5% that left the balance at 8,246.00.

With that said, I did really like playing it.
