Game overview
Buffalo Grand is a slot game developed by Aristocrat that builds on the well-known Buffalo series by introducing a Hold and Spin bonus mechanic. The game blends a traditional reel-based structure with a feature-driven bonus format designed to concentrate gameplay around special rounds.
The base game uses a fixed-payline reel layout and familiar wildlife symbols associated with the Buffalo franchise. Regular spins focus on standard symbol combinations, while the primary feature is triggered by designated symbols that activate the Hold and Spin bonus.
During the Hold and Spin feature, special symbols lock into place and a limited number of respins are awarded. Each new symbol resets the respin counter, allowing the bonus to extend under specific conditions. This structure shifts a significant portion of the game’s potential outcomes into the bonus round.
Buffalo Grand is generally categorised as a medium-to-high volatility slot. Base game outcomes tend to be moderate, with higher variability introduced through the bonus feature. These characteristics are determined by the game’s internal mathematical model.
From a technical standpoint, Buffalo Grand operates using a random number generator (RNG), ensuring that each spin and bonus event is independent and governed by fixed rules.
