Buffalo Blitz Megaways Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

Buffalo Blitz Megaways is an online slot with a North American theme. This Megaways game has 6 reels, plus an extra reel with 4 symbols. With each spin, you have a different number of potential ways to win, from 324 up to 117,649. When you spin, between 2 and 7 symbols land on reels 1-6: the more that land, the more ways you can win on that spin.

There are 11 regular symbols as well as 2 bonus symbols. Regular symbols include the Buffalo himself, lion, racoon, bear, and moose, along with the playing card symbols 9 through to ace.

Bonus symbols are the diamond wild symbol and the Free Games scatter symbol. The diamond wild appears on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, as well as the extra reel, and can replace everything but the Free Games scatter symbol. The Free Games scatter symbol itself can land anywhere on the reels and getting at least 4 of them unlocks the Free Games feature where you can obtain various win multipliers from a selection of 4 free games.

There’s quite a bit going on in Buffalo Blitz Megaways, so it makes sense to spend some time playing the demo to get familiar with the rules before using real money at an online casino.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Buffalo Blitz Megaways has the familiar North American wild animals theme, as with its predecessors. The graphics are beautifully crafted, and the animals are characteristic of the North American region, lending authenticity to the theme. A nice amount of animation is included, such as the moving animal symbols that highlight a win.

The background depicts what appears to be the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains, where you can imagine the Buffalo, bear, lion, racoon and moose would call home.
The soundtrack plays softly in the background, but it’s the sound of the Native American drums thumping rhythmically as the reels spin that really plays to the theme.

Buffalo Blitz Megaways Bonus Features 

Landing 4, 5, or 6 Free Games Symbols, anywhere in view, during the base game results in the free games feature being triggered. You are then given a choice of 4 free game modes. Firstly, the ‘Blitz’ mode awards up to 20 free games but the diamond wild can only multiply wins by x2, x3, or x5. Secondly, the ‘Thunder’ mode awards up to 16 free games and the wild multiplies wins by x3, x4, or x6. Then there’s ‘Buffalo’ mode which offers only up to 12 free games but whose wild multiplies wins by x4, x5, or x10. The ‘Mystery’ mode offers up a random selection of the previous three game types for those who struggle to choose.

Also well worth a mention is the Jackpot Blitz bonus feature. During the base game, any spin could randomly trigger this feature and present you with a grid of 20 diamonds from which you try to choose 3 matches. This offers the potential of progressive mystery jackpots that can bring additional wins if you reveal 3 of either the Mini, Minor, Major, or Blitz Jackpot prize symbols.

Overall Buffalo Blitz Megaways Review 

Buffalo Blitz Megaways has a great deal going on: it is a Megaways slot after all. We found it to be a high-stakes, exciting slot to play with plenty to entertain even the most regular slot player. Although the free bonus game feature took a while to hit, we enjoyed the added element it provided.

Overall, Buffalo Blitz Megaways is a great improvement over previous versions that really benefits from the huge number of variable paylines gained from using the Megaways system. Although it’s suitable for any player, we think beginners might like something a little simpler such as the earlier Buffalo Blitz slot. You could also browse other free slots .
