Gamzix studio, known for its consistent high-quality games, has created another engaging experience in Buffalo Coin: Hold the Spin. The game is somewhat formulaic, but well-executed with no rough edges. It offers a 5-reel, 3-row, and 20-betline playing field, with a theme centered around the American wilderness, featuring wild animals and native American motifs.
The symbol designs are intricately detailed, making it visually pleasing. The volatility level is medium, allowing for a maximum win of 5,200x your bet. The hit frequency is 26%, meaning you can expect a win approximately every 4 spins. Stake options range from £0.01 to £400 per spin, and the theoretical RTP is a commendably above-average 96.30%.
Buffalo Coin: Hold the Spin has eight pay symbols, divided evenly between four low pays and four high pays. The low pays are represented by card ranks from Jacks to Aces, which can pay 2x your bet for a full combination. The high pays, which are more creatively designed, include eagles, pumas, wolves, and bears, with the bears offering the highest payout of 12x your bet for a full combination.
Special symbols include Buffalo Wilds, Mountain Scatters, and Coins. Buffalo Wilds can serve as substitutes for other pay symbols and provide payouts. Mountain Scatters and Coins activate the bonus features. Landing three, four, or five Mountain Scatters triggers the Free Spins feature, offering 8, 10, or 12 free spins respectively. During free spins, the reels do not contain any low pays, increasing the chances of a significant win.
To activate the Bonus Game, you need at least 5 Coins in view. The Bonus Game is essentially a Hold and Win feature, with all symbols becoming sticky and starting with three respins. Each new symbol resets your respins counter to three. Filling rows with symbols can win you one of the three fixed jackpots, with the Mega jackpot offering a reward of 5,000x your bet for a full playing field.
There is also a Buy Free Spins option that allows direct access to the Free Spins feature at a cost of 40x your bet. Despite being formulaic, Buffalo Coin: Hold the Spin is highly enjoyable and flawlessly executed. If you enjoy games themed around the American wilderness, this slot from Gamzix is worth a try!
