Roaming Wild Buffalo (Octoplay) – Review & Demo Play

Roaming Wild Buffalo Game Rules

The Wild Buffalo symbol acts as a wild, substituting for all except the Bonus and Super Bonus. If three or more Wild Buffalo land in the same base spin, the reels flip. Each flip keeps the buffalo on the grid and shuffles their positions. The sequence carries on while new Wild Buffalo arrive, stopping only when none land or when eight Wild Buffalo are present. This flip-and-roam flow is the backbone that sets up stacked lines and tidy clusters.

All wins pay left to right on set lines, with 20 active in the regular game and 40 during the special game. Two Bonus symbols can trigger a Bonus Re-Spin where the last reel gets another go. There is also a Lucky Respin chance after a losing bet, which can spin again and award a win worth at least 8x the stake. I like how these small nudges stitch the base game together between the big wild bursts.

Bonus Features in Roaming Wild Buffalo

Free Spins trigger when the Bonus symbol lands on reels 1, 3, and 5, awarding 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, or 15 spins. Any Wild Buffalo that lands during the feature stays on the reels and moves to a new spot each spin. If none landed on the trigger, at least one Wild Buffalo is guaranteed on the first spin. Sticky roaming behaviour builds coverage across lines and keeps the grid alive for the length of the feature.

During free spins a Buffalo multiplier sits beside the reels, starting at x1 and climbing by +1 for every Golden Wild Buffalo that lands. The multiplier applies to all winning combinations. When roaming positions change, 2 to 6 buffalo can stack in the same spot; each overlap adds 2 extra spins, up to 5 overlaps. Hitting the cap of x5000 ends the bonus. Super Free Spins upgrade arrives when a Super Bonus triggers the feature, turning all buffalo gold.

Symbols and Paytable in Roaming Wild Buffalo

The Wild pays on its own and carries the top line values, paying x15 for five, x7.5 for four, and x2.5 for three of a kind, while also substituting for other symbols. Among the regular premiums, the best pays x10 for five, then x5 and x2 for four and three. Next down the ladder sits a symbol paying x6, x3, and x1.5. Another premium follows at x5, x2.5, and x1 for five, four, and three.

Mid-tier icons step in with sets like x4, x2, and x0.6 for five to three, then x3.5, x1.5, and x0.5. There are also symbols paying x3, x1, and x0.4 for standard hits, with two entries sharing that scale. It is a tidy curve that sets room for the wild herd to carry walls of wins when the flips keep bringing fresh buffalo onto the grid and across more lines during the special game.

The low pays sit at x2 for five, x0.5 for four, and x0.2 for three of a kind on the line. All lines pay from the leftmost reel and stick to the stated paylines, which keeps evaluation clear when roamers slide about. I find the paytable easy to read and it matches the stated 20-line base structure that expands to 40 during the special game. That mapping helps with quick session checks and manual hit tracking.

Bonus Buy Feature in Roaming Wild Buffalo

You can use Buy Free Spins with roaming wild symbols. The listed feature cost is x60 of your current bet, while RTP and volatility for the purchase are not stated. Pressing the BUY A FEATURE button opens a window with the offers, and the price scales with your normal stake, which you can adjust before confirming. I like this route when I want the roaming build straight away rather than waiting for a natural trigger.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Roaming Wild Buffalo

RTP is posted at 96%, volatility reads below average at 2/5, and the stated max exposure is x5000. Bets run from £0.10 up to £200, and the core layout uses five reels with 20 betways in the main game. That mix suits balance play, as the wild engine can stitch frequent line hits with the odd larger push when roams connect across more lines or when the multiplier builds in free spins.

Pros & Cons of Roaming Wild Buffalo

Pros are clean. Buy Free Spins is available, the starting bet is £0.10, and RTP sits at a basic standard. The max win of x5000 is fair for a below average volatility title, and the design is fine, keeping the board readable when the reels flip. I also rate the move from 20 lines to 40 during the special game, since it widens paths when multiple buffalo settle across the grid.

On the flip side, the feature ends on a max win hit, which can clip a hot sequence. RTP for the feature buy is not stated, which makes it harder to judge long-run value on that option. The Lucky Respin and Bonus Re-Spin are chance-based, so dry spells can still appear in the base. I plan session length around the roaming stacks, letting the wilds do the heavy lifting when they stick.
