The Buffalo Grand Slot Machine is the latest in the world-famous Buffalo Slots series from Aristocrat. With a progressive jackpot, up to 50 free spins, and the popular Bonus Wheel mode, players have several different ways to win huge payouts. Charging fast and furious into the new year, High 5 Games (H5G) has launched its latest online slot, Thundering Buffalo Jackpot Dash, ahead of its highly anticipated appearance at ICE London 2020. The New York-based independent casino games provider’s new release is a force to be reckoned with, with its innovative 243 Ways to Win.
The highest-paying symbol of all is the buffalo, worth 300 coins for the maximum five in a row, double the amount that you’ll win for either the eagle or the hyena. The real money game has a minimum bet of 75 credits and a maximum of 375, while coin denominations start at just one cent.
There are five jackpot payouts total in Buffalo Grand Slots you can win. The lowest payout is the mini and they rise through the minor, major and super, before reaching the Grand Jackpot, where you can win some very impressive (even life-changing) payouts. This jackpot is seeded at half a million dollars and the progressive nature of the prize means it will go much, much higher than this.
For a chance of winning the Grand Jackpot you’ll need to be playing for a bet size of 300 or 375 coins, while the higher the stake you play for, the more chance you’ll have of winning one of the other jackpots.
Bonus Rounds & Fun Bonus Features
Buffalo Jackpots At Thunder Valley Casino
The number of free spins awarded on the wheel depends upon how many scatters you used to activate the feature. The minimum three scatters will see you awarded with between eight and 15 free games, four scatters awards you between 15 and 30 free games and the maximum five scatters wins you between 20 and 50 free spins.
During the free games, any wins that are aided by the wild symbol will be the subject of a 2x or a 3x multiplier. The scatter symbol will now be replaced by a golden coin during the feature and this will award a scatter win of 100, 500 or 1,000 coins if you hit three, four or five anywhere on the reels.
Bonus Feature: Buffalo Grand Jackpot Wheel
The final symbol on the reels is the golden wheel, which acts as the scatter. Land three or more of these anywhere on the reels and you’ll enter the jackpot feature. You’ll now be presented with a ‘wheel of fortune’ style of wheel, which contains a number of segments. Inside these segments you’ll either see a jackpot win amount or a number of free spins.
Bonus Feature: Buffalo Grand Wild Symbol
A striking sunrise behind a couple of large rocks is the wild symbol on Buffalo Grand. This symbol only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and will substitute for any other symbol on the reels apart from the scatter to create more wins.
Ellis Island might be a little casino, but that doesn’t mean players don’t win big there.
On Feb. 2, 2021, an Ellis Island regular won $905,754.63 on a Buffalo Grand slot.
Judge not a casino by its size, but by its jackpots.
The player, David Frys, said, “I’ve been playing at Ellis Island for years now and am absolutely in shock with this win. It’s not every Tuesday that you walk into your favorite local spot and leave with almost $1 million.”
We’re also fairly sure the lucky winner also said, “HOLY SHIT!” But that’s unconfirmed.
Don’t spend it all in one place, David. Unless it’s on Ellis Island barbecue, then we totally get it. Thanks to Ellis Island for the pics.
While it didn’t make headlines, the winning spin also paid another $7 of “normal win,” whatever that is.
There are lots of days gambling when we’d be happy getting a $7 win.
Whenever a giant jackpot hits at one of our favorite casinos, we are overcome with a wide range of emotions.
We are overjoyed with happiness for the winner.
Buffalo Jackpot Big Win
Mostly.
In addition, we are jealous as hell.
We want giant tax burdens, hours of paperwork, a new home theater and photo ops with the Ellis sisters!
Oh, well, there’s always video poker and pizza at the Front Yard.
Every gambler knows there’s a jackpot out there waiting, somewhere. We just have to play until we find it, or it finds us.
