Wild Buffalo Hold ‘N’ Link Slot Review

OK, so this has come up before so I’ll say it one more time: game studios, the species of bovine you’re referring to that roams around America is a bison, not a buffalo. Legit buffalos plod about in Africa and Asia, geddit? Google is your friend #JustSaying.

And now that I’m nicely annoyed and revved up, let’s take a look at Netgame’s Wild Buffalo Hold ‘N’ Link slot.

Gameplay

While the title of our next game might be all about the mighty buffalo, the 5-reel grid and background are fully infused with Native American/First Nation visuals. The soundtrack also carries this through with some rhythmic drumming that’ll get your juices flowing.

The highest-paying symbol is unsurprisingly our buffalo, followed by the bald eagle and cougar jointly, and then the wolf and bear.

It’s actually alright to play on a mobile phone in vertical mode. The grid is a fair bit larger than what I expected, while the controls are also big and easy to fiddle with on the go.

Judging by the slightly cartoonish symbols, you might expect that this slot will be more about having a chilled experience and less about making moolah. But you’d be wrong. Wild Buffalo Hold ‘N’ Link slot is packing a 96.22% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots. RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., 1,024 ways to win, and a max prize of €250,000!

You can start placing bets at a mere €0.50 or go straight to the limits at €50 a shot. As for the volatility, well that’s medium to high which is what I prefer.

Features

The BONUS symbol is an angry-looking buffalo against a red background.

The SCATTER takes the form of a relief sculpture that has an Indian Motorcycle kinda feel to it. Now, 3 or more Scatters will set off the Free Spins round so be on the lookout for these.

The WILD is a stylized sunset scene, and this symbol replaces all others except the Scatters and Bonus symbols.

HOLD ‘N’ LINK:
You’ll trigger the Hold ‘N’ Link feature when you land 8 or more angry buffalo Bonus symbols. During the round, all of the Bonus symbols become sticky and additionally, only the Bonus symbols will appear as you spin away.

You’ll get 3 Re-spins at the start of it all, with each new Bonus symbol re-setting the counter. The Bonus game lasts until you either fill all 20 spots on the grid, or until your re-spins run out.

And boy oh boy, if you fill those 20 spots, you’re looking at a Grand Jackpot worth 2,000x your total bet!

CASH SYMBOLS:
These look just like the Bonus symbol except they have a numerical value on em, but can also depict a Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpot.

A Mini Jackpot = 20x your total bet, while a Minor Jackpot = 100x. As for the Major Jackpot, now that = 200x your total bet.

Cash symbols appear during the Hold ‘N’ Link Bonus round and can carry the following values: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, or 15x your total bet.

FREE SPINS:
The number of Scatters you land determines how many Free Spins you’ll get.

3 Scatters = 8 Free Spins
4 Scatters = 15 Free Spins
5 Scatters = 20 Free Spins

During the Free Spins round, any landed Wilds multiplies your win by 2x or 3x. Also, 2 - 5 extra Scatters that come in during Free Spins will see you rewarded with 5 - 20 Free Spins.

Performance

I made this game work through hundreds of spins so that I could be assured of my verdict. And that, dear players, is that you shouldn’t encounter any problems when playing Wild Buffalo Hold ‘N’ Link slot.

Feel free to play it on your chosen device and on whichever browser you wish. It should all be good.

Maximum Win

The max win on this game is worth €250,000. Now that’s a whopping big amount of cash!

Conclusion

This is a better Hold & Win type of game than some I’ve reviewed recently. I say that because it’s got a theme, so it looks a little different to the typical cash-oriented versions floating around, and it has a good RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots. RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. and sweet max win.

Not only that, but NetGame has thrown in some Free Spins to boot so this would be the game I’d opt for if you paraded the past few weeks’ Hold & Win slots in a lineup in front of me.

It’s not groundbreaking, to be sure, but a better choice than some others. Oh, and you can play this one on your phone quite happily. A solid all-rounder.
