Play White Buffalo for Free

If there is one thing that defines the continent of America, then it would be size and power. Whether we're talking about the size of the land mass itself and the vast expanses of open wilderness, the important stature of politics in the USA and Canada, or simply about the size of the fast food meals, North America is known for doing things big. That applies to the very nature that roams around the wilds, as evident from the almighty creatures that make appear on the reels of this wintry slot machine. There are mighty moose, enigmatic elk, rambunctious rams and, of course, the magnificent White Buffalo – an extremely rare animal possessing a natural defect, which are worshipped as sacred animals by Native American religions.

The visual aspect of this game is typical of many Microgaming titles, using diligently illustrated artwork to capture the beauty and serenity of the natural theme. The reels themselves are capped with snow, while a background scene shows a peaceful, albeit slightly cold-looking, environment. The game even features a little bit of animation, which is not only intended to please the eye, but also notify players of a special bonus event.

That bonus event is triggered completely at random, and it involves the sacred White Buffalo beasts which will stampede across the reels in all of their powerful glory. When this happens, all of the other creature icons – the moose, elk and ram- will be transformed into buffalo symbols and 6 free spins will commence. So, this essentially gives spinners a higher chance of lining up some big winning combinations since the White Buffalo is one of the most lucrative symbols on the reels, playing line bets worth 1,000x when five line up on a payline.

There are 25 paylines involved in this slot machine, but spinners can choose to limit their losses by selecting fewer paylines. After the paylines have been set, punters must then determine how many coins of what value will be placed on each active line; they can choose 1 to 30 coins of values which range from 0.01 to 0.20 credits.

Once the stakes are settled, bettors can start spinning the reels in hope of finding sequences of matching icons from left to right. If the right symbols fall into place, then the following line bet multipliers will be awarded:

As you can see, this slot machine also features a special wild symbol which is depicted by an artistic buffalo silhouette. This symbol is not just one of the most valuable symbols in terms of line bet payouts, but it is also very rewarding since it will help to fill in the gaps for all other symbols that payout a line bet multiplier reward.

There is one other icon involved, and that is a scatter symbol that is represented by a “White Buffalo” skull logo. This symbol cannot be replaced by the wild icon, simply for the fact that is doesn't need to appear on a payline to award prizes in relation to the total stake. In fact, total bet multipliers of 2x, 5x, 10x, and 50x will be presented whenever two, three, four or five scattered icon appear in any position.

Like its namesake, White Buffalo is an unassuming yet surprisingly powerful beast of a slot machine. The game may look fairly tame and delicate with its snowy visage and lack of any huge bonus elements, but the spins could turn into a stampeding rampage at any moment thanks to a randomly activated bonus game which offers free spins and extra chances to line up a jackpot prize.
