Buffalo Rising Megaways by Blueprint Gaming immerses players in the atmosphere of the American wilderness. Lush landscapes with towering mountains serve as the backdrop for the reels, populated by symbols depicting buffaloes, wolves, bears, and other native animals.
The core gameplay revolves around the Megaways mechanic. With 6 reels and a changing number of symbols on each reel (from 2 to 7), players can benefit from up to a staggering 117,649 potential winning combinations. Every winning combination triggers Cascading Wins.
Landing at least 4 scatter symbols, depicted by purple gems, activates the Free Spins round. A unique aspect is the ability to choose from four Free Spins options with varying volatility and starting multipliers. Players who prefer a higher chance of smaller wins can select a larger number of Free Spins with a lower starting multiplier. Conversely, those seeking the potential for bigger wins can choose fewer Free Spins with a higher starting multiplier. Regardless of the option chosen, the multiplier increases by +1 with every win during the Free Spins round, potentially reaching significant heights.
Another interesting feature is the Mystery Symbol, represented by a symbol depicting a sunset over the mountains. When Mystery Symbols appear on the reels, they transform into one and the same random symbol (excluding the scatter symbol) after the evaluation of regular winning combinations. This can significantly increase winning potential by creating additional winning combinations.
The Buffalo symbol acts as the Wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols except the scatter. This helps players form winning combinations by replacing missing symbols in potential winning lines.
