Buffalo is one of Aristocrat's Xtra Reel Power line, which means that there are no "lines." - if a symbol appears left to right, then it will be paid. Technically this is the same as 1024 paylines, but who's counting?
The premium pay symbol is the Buffalo itself - offering 300 coins per way if you manage to get one on each reel. Because this is every line is a pay line, the amount you win will go up exponentially for each buffalo on the reels. For example, in the above picture there are 13 buffalo, and the player has won 108 x 300 x 5(for betting 5x the minimum bet) for a total win of $1620.
The free spins bonus in Buffalo is triggered by getting three or more scattered coin symbols. 3 coins awards 8 spins, 4 coins awards 15 spins, and 5 coins awards 20 spins.
As with many slots, the bonus games are where the real winning potential of Buffalo comes out. The wild symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 are replaced with wild multiplier symbols - 2x or 3x. This significantly increases payout potential as these multipliers can stay with themselves. If one manages to get all three wilds at once, a win can be multiplied by up to 27x. Combine this with a few buffalo and you're talking some seriously large pays.
Re-triggering the bonus round is also easier than normal if you're already in the bonus spins. Only two coins are required to add more - awarding 5 additional spins.
Buffalo is almost always a penny game, though it can occasionally be found with a higher coin in high limit rooms. Returns can vary between 89% and 94.85% depending on the casino. Buffalo is a relatively low variance game, so you should be able to play for a while.
