Buffalo Gold Collection
Overview
Buffalo Gold Collection is a brilliantly designed slot machine by Aristocrat, and can be played as a stand-alone title or within a number of "Wonder 4" titles such as Wonder 4 Tall Fortunes, Wonder 4 Spinning Fortunes and Wonder 4 Wonder Wheel. The lure of Buffalo Gold Collection is that during the bonus, you work to collect Golden Buffalo Heads and as you reach certain amounts, premium symbols in your game are transformed into Buffalo for the remainder of your bonus. If you collect all 15 Golden Buffalo Heads, the sky is the limit as each spin has the potential to become a Jackpot spin!
Standard Play
You win in Buffalo Gold Collection by landing the same symbol in any position in two or more reels, from left to right, depending on the symbol. To help, wild symbols are located in reels 2, 3, and 4 and may be randomly replaced by 2x or 3x wild multipliers. But it's all about the bonus in this one, which is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scattered bonus symbols for 8, 15, or 20 free games respectively.
Balance & Volatility
Buffalo Gold Collection is an incredibly volatile game, and it has to be that way as the bonus potential is incredibly large - this is one slot that you're not relying on a progressive to win 1000x your bet or more! To succeed in this game, you need a large number of retriggers and a large number of starting spins helps immensely, too! The extra games are necessary, as the more you have, the more Golden Buffalo Heads you can collect and the better chance you have to continue to retrigger for even more free games. Buffalo Gold Collection is not for the faint of heart and many bonuses will in fact be disappointing, but every now and then, Jackpot greatness can happen!
Bonus Features
The bonus is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols for 8, 15, or 20 free games respectively. During the bonus, you only need 2 scattered bonus symbols to retrigger for 5 additional spins, a great feature! Also during the bonus, special Golden Buffalo Heads are placed on the reels and as you collect them, at certain intervals premium symbols will transform into Buffalo as follows:
Collect 4: Eagles are changed to Buffalo
Collect 7: Cougars are changed to Buffalo
Collect 13: Wolves are changed to Buffalo
Collect 15: Elk are changed to Buffalo
In addition, any wild symbol that lands will be transformed into a 2x or 3x multiplier, just like in the standard version of Buffalo
