Free slot: Buffalo Power Megaways

How Buffalo Power Megaways works

Buffalo Power Megaways is a slot machine developed and published by the online gaming provider Playson. This rather discreet provider would benefit from being more known because of the quality of its creations and the high volatility of its machines. This slot is available in all online casinos offering this creator since June 2021. This recent release is the second installment in this saga after the release of Buffalo Power: Hold and Win, conceived in the summer of 2020. Head to the Grand Canyon, a famous Californian tourist attraction, where many wild animals reign supreme. This slot has 6 reels, and to win on Buffalo Power Megaways, you will need to make connections of 3 to 5 identical symbols. As the name suggests, this slot uses Megaways, a technology from Australian provider Big Time Gaming, to dramatically increase the number of connections. On each spin, all reels are triggered and each column will contain between 2 and 6 symbols.

There is a buffalo symbol during the pay spins in Buffalo Power Megaways. The buffalo serves as a wild, which means that it substitutes for any symbol except the scatter and coins. The wild allows for easy connections and takes on the value of the symbol involved.

Buffalo Power Megaways Different Symbols

Buffalo Power Megaways features different symbols that you need to connect to win. Some of these symbols have different values depending on how rarely they appear and are separated into two categories: classic symbols and premium symbols.

The first named, also known as low value symbols, are the ones that pay the least. However, they appear more often and are easier to connect. Classic symbols all pay the same and are represented by the highest values in a pack of cards, namely Jack, Queen, King and Ace.

The following image shows the payout range for each classic symbol in Buffalo Power Megaways (€1 bet).

The premium symbols are harder to connect but pay much better. They are represented by ferocious animals, including:

• The owl ;

• The eagle ;

• The lioness;

• The bear.

The infographic below shows you the value of all the premium symbols in the Buffalo Power Megaways slot machine (€1 bet).

The different connections in Buffalo Power Megaways

As explained in the introduction, the objective of Buffalo Power Megaways is to connect between 3 and 6 identical symbols to win. There are many different connections available in this slot, including the Megaways. This technology allows players to have a better understanding of the slot and to get a much higher potential of connections than an ordinary online game. Indeed, a connection is valid as soon as the same symbol is present on the first 3 reels, the location of the symbols within the columns not being important. The following image shows an example of a valid connection on the left and an invalid connection on the right. Buffalo Power Megaways is read exclusively from left to right and only the maximum win per line is paid.

How the Buffalo Power Megaways Bonus Works

Unlike many slot machines, Buffalo Power Megaways offers two separate bonuses, each containing different features!

The first bonus is earned by seeing at least 3 scatter symbols appear on the same spin. These bonus symbols are represented by a mysterious mountain. The number of free spins varies according to the number of scatters:

• 3 scatters = 12 free spins ;

• 4 scatters = 17 free spins;

• 5 scatters = 22 free spins;

• 6 scatters = 27 free spins.

If you get several bonus symbols again during a free spin, you will receive additional free spins according to the following pattern:

• 3 scatters = 5 free spins ;

• 4 scatters = 10 free spins;

• 5 scatters = 15 free spins;

• 6 scatters = 20 free spins.

During the Buffalo Power Megaways bonus, the wild represented by the buffalo is always present but will be slightly modified. It will be accompanied by a x2 multiplier that will act on wins involving a wild. The wild symbols will appear more regularly during the bonus, making it easier for you to make big wins.

The second bonus feature in Buffalo Power Megaways is called Jackpots. To access this feature you will need to get at least 6 symbols represented by a Sun and/or the golden symbol with the Power inscription. Once you have reached the Jackpots part, all other symbols will leave and only the suns and Power symbols will remain.

You will then get 3 free spins and as soon as a Power or Sun symbol appears on the grid, you will get 3 free spins again. The free game ends when no symbol appears for 3 rounds in a row.

Each sun has a cash value of between 1 and 10 times your initial bet. At the end of the free spins, you will win the accumulated value of all these symbols. You will also win with the Power symbols. In fact, you will also be awarded cash rewards depending on the number of Power symbols you get during the bonus:

• 1 Power symbol = 5 times your original bet;

• 2 Power symbols = 20 times your initial bet;

• 3 Power symbols = 50 times your starting bet;

• 4 Power symbols = 150 times your starting bet;

• 5 Power symbols = 500 times your starting bet;

• 6 Power symbols = 2,000 times your starting bet.

At the end of the bonus, you will win all these accumulated winnings. If you manage to complete the entire grid, all your winnings will be doubled.
