Game overview
The supplier reference below establishes the game-family context for Buffalo. Buffalo is an established Aristocrat franchise with several later treatments. The original wildlife artwork should be distinguished from newer Buffalo Grand and Buffalo Gold feature sets instead of attributing every bonus mechanic to the first game.
Aristocrat franchises often use a common theme across different cabinets. A brand-family relationship establishes neither identical features nor identical mathematical returns. The source needed for the next editorial revision is the version-specific help screen or approved game sheet. That is where symbol rules, bonus triggers and any payback setting can be checked.
The previous database also presented 2008 as a release year; 92% as RTP; high volatility. It supplied no version-specific game sheet for those values, so they are no longer displayed as verified numerical or categorical facts.
Practical verification for Buffalo would begin with the original supplier title sheet, then compare its game rules against the previous page. The source should identify the product edition and its market, not just show a marketing image.
