Buffalo Hunter (NoLimit City) – Review & Demo Play

Buffalo Hunter - Get ready, a large horde of buffaloes is on its way

I go back to the prairie with Buffalo Hunter, a 5 reel, 4 row slot with 40 ways. Stakes run from 20p to £100, and the default RTP sits at 96.01% though some sites use 94.24%, so I always check the info panel in real money mode. Volatility is savage and sits in the Extreme bracket. The reels sit in a carved frame with an animal meter on the left. Native drums and flute back the spins and set a steady mood.

I found the base game lean, but the Mystery symbol and the Dream Catcher wild keep lines connecting while you chase free spins. It plays cleanly on mobile and desktop, and speed mode is there if you want a faster clip. The hook is simple enough. Fill meters, upgrade animals, and push for the 12,647x max. It can trample a balance before it gives way, yet when it warms up the field lights up with buffalo.

Feels like a safari with all these animal symbols in Buffalo Hunter

Symbols stick to the theme. Lows are 10 to A royals trimmed with feathers. Premiums show coyote or wolf, pronghorn deer, cougar, bald eagle and the high value buffalo. The Dream Catcher is the wild and can stand in for all regulars, and in the paytable it shares the top line with the buffalo at 50x for five of a kind. A glowing blue Mystery can land and flip into matching symbols. Eagle totem scatters trigger the features.

Many buffaloes, perfect. The more the merrier in Buffalo Hunter

When I land 3 or 4 eagle totems, I get 8 or 10 free spins and a choice. Buffalo Horde is the safer pick, though it still bites. Special buffaloes with a glowing frame get collected on the meter to the left. Every set of 5 upgrades one animal into buffalo across the reels and adds 2 extra spins. Four animals means up to 8 more spins and a screen that starts to look stacked with the top symbol.

Prairie Multipliers feels punchier. You collect framed buffaloes to upgrade each animal with a progressive multiplier, rising one step at a time to 5x, and the buffalo gets the same increase. Each upgrade adds 2 spins, so momentum can build. Hit 5 scatters and Stampede Super Bonus deals 12 spins where both systems run together. Converting all four takes 25 specials and then you see only 5x buffaloes plus royals. Bonus Buy exists in some regions, not in the UK.

The prairie offers a nice max win in Buffalo Hunter

Buffalo Hunter carries a max win of 12,647x, and on a stake between 20p and £100 that is tasty enough to chase. The game runs on 5x4 with 40 ways to win and high to extreme volatility. The RTP range matters, with a standard 96.01% and a lower 94.24% variant, so I check the figure in the game menu. Expect long spells of dead spins, then sudden bursts when the meters flip animals and the 5x board arrives.
