Aristocrat Leisure Limited introduced the Buffalo slot machine game to land-based casinos in 2006. The game uses graphics matching magazine-quality illustrations and also replaces the older paylines times bet per line betting system with the innovative Xtra Reel Power system described below. This new system was considered an improvement over the once popular 243-way Reel Power bettingsystem.

Understanding Slot Machine Pay Tables
Slot Machine Pay Tables. Each slot machine online has a pay table. A player should take a look at it before they decide to make a wager on that particular game. Since each of the slot machine pay tables are different, they should look at the table before they even decide if they want to play the game. Aristocrat’s Buffalo is a 5 reel, 4 row video slot featuring up to 1024 ways to pay. All prizes pay from left to right and are paid in multiples of bet per reel except for Scatter wins which payin any combination and are multiples of the total bet.
The symbols in the game are drawn from the North American wildlife library. The game’s titular creature is the American Bison, which everyone calls a Buffalo. Other creatures included in the gameare the Bald Eagle, the Elk, and the Puma.
It is an interesting coincidence that all of the animals featured in the game are widely known by multiple names: Buffalo (Bison), Bald Eagle (American or White Eagle), Puma (Mountain Lion orCougar or Panther), and Elk (Wapiti). Many animal species have been given multiple names but these four important North American animals are well recognized under two or more names by the generalpublic.
As an aside, the Wapiti is native to eastern Asia as well as North America and since 1998 DNA analysis has shown that Elk (once thought to be a sub-species of deer) are a distinct species withseveral sub-species. But you don’t need to know any of that if you’re just interested in gambling unless you want to pick up a few dollars in a bar bet.
Aristocrat released an online version of the game in 2012. This article reviews the online version of Buffalo.
