Buffalo Free Demo & Review
Buffalo is Aristocrat’s old-school 5x4 XTRA Reel Power slot, built around 1,024 ways to win, stacked buffalo symbols, sunset wilds, gold coin scatters, and a free games round with wild multipliers. The verified RTP we use for review is 94.85%, with medium-high volatility and a conservative listed top payout of 300x. The demo is useful because this game has a very particular rhythm: quick base-game spins, sudden stacked-symbol hits, and free games that do most of the heavy lifting. Ontario players should only use real-money versions through AGCO-registered casino operators in the iGO market; free play is just a clean way to learn the mechanics first.
Who Should Play Buffalo
01
Buffalo pays through 1,024 ways on the full five-reel setup, not through drawn paylines.
02
The buffalo symbol is stacked, which is why several matching reels can change a spin quickly.
03
Sunset wilds substitute in the base game and become 2x or 3x multiplier wilds during free games.
04
Buffalo has no bonus buy, jackpot wheel, or hold-and-spin round; the main feature path is scatter-triggered free games.

How to Play Buffalo
Set the reel stake
Choose the coin value, the number of credits per reel, and the active reel setup used by the game. Full five-reel play opens the 1,024-way format and costs 40 times the reel cost, which is the standard way most players recognize Buffalo.
Spin the 5x4 grid
Each spin lands symbols on five reels and four rows, with wins read from left to right across adjacent active reels. There are no fixed payline shapes; XTRA Reel Power pays matching symbols anywhere on the active reels, up to 1,024 ways when all five reels are in play.
Land coin scatters
Gold coin scatter symbols trigger the free games feature when three or more appear anywhere on the reels. Three scatters award 8 free games, four award 15, and five award 20; there is no bonus buy in Buffalo.
Count the multipliers
Base-game wins pay after the spin settles, while the free games add 2x and 3x wild multipliers from the sunset wild symbols. Those multiplier wilds can combine on winning ways, then the feature total is added back to the balance when the round ends.
