Game overview
Buffalo is a slot game developed by Aristocrat and is one of the provider’s most recognisable titles. The game originated from land-based gaming machines and was later adapted for digital formats, maintaining its original structural design and mathematical model.
The game is built around a straightforward reel-based layout with fixed paylines and a limited set of core symbols. Its gameplay focuses on line combinations and a small number of bonus mechanics rather than complex feature layers.
Buffalo is commonly classified as a high-volatility slot. Outcomes tend to occur less frequently, with a payout structure designed around occasional higher-value combinations. This behaviour is defined by the game’s internal probability distribution and payout table.
The visual theme is based on North American wildlife, with buffalo symbols playing a central role in both base gameplay and bonus-related interactions. The theme does not affect the game’s underlying mechanics but contributes to its recognisable identity.
From a technical perspective, Buffalo operates using a random number generator (RNG) to determine outcomes independently for each spin. The game follows fixed rules and does not adjust results based on player behaviour or previous outcomes.
