Gameplay and Design
This is the kind of pokie I’d chuck on during a lazy Sunday arvo. The background shows rolling green pastures backed by towering mountains, with a sky that shifts between golden sunlight and soft moonlight. This game will give you Yellowstone vibes.
The 5×3 reel grid is classic, with well-drawn animal symbols, including the titular buffalo, some slightly menacing bears, and wolves with eyes like torches. There’s also your classic royals, which don’t do much but help fill the reels. The animals pop against the muted background, and there’s a nice glow effect on winning combinations that adds a bit of oomph to each spin!
But it’s the sound design that grabbed my attention. Instead of loud electronic bloops, you get a chill, twangy country soundtrack with soft harmonica and guitar riffs. It reminded me a bit of Buffalo King by Pragmatic Play but more relaxed, like you’re sitting by a campfire instead of running away from a storm.
I like that it’s not a super volatile pokie, which is rare these days. Based on my experience, the hit rate is around 25%, and any game that dishes out up to 50 free spins per bonus round is A-okay in my book!
