Buffalo Stack ‘n’ Sync Slot Game | Hacksaw Gaming Slots

The land where the buffalo roam and the eagles soar overhead is the setting for this slot from Hacksaw Gaming. The Buffalo Stack ‘n’ Sync slot game takes players on a trip to the North American wilderness, which has the potential to pay out up to x6000.

Hacksaw Gaming has some great graphics on some of its titles, but this slot looks a bit basic by comparison. There’s nothing wrong with the visuals, which include cacti and a towering cliff-face, but the design just lacks some of the originality seen in their other titles.

The action is set on a 5×4 board which includes 10 traditional paylines. Like many other of this studio’s titles, the min bet is €0.10, and the max bet is €100.99. Volatility is extremely high, which means you could be in the parched, arid landscape for some time while spinning the reels and waiting for a win. The RTP is variable, but it’s possible to achieve up to 96.36% using the Bonus Buy (for players based in the European Union).

Game Features

If you’ve played North American-themed slots before, you’ll know what to expect in the paytable. Nothing is surprising here, just rocky-style playing card royals as the low pays and a series of local wildlife as the premiums. This includes a cougar, wolf, wild horse, eagle, and the titular buffalo. The cactus isn’t a prickly feature to avoid here; it’s the wild and can substitute for low or high pay.

The Stack’n’ Sync symbol is at the heart of the action, which can also be seen in the sequel to this slot – Alpha Eagle. The Stack’n’ Sync symbol may land at any time in either the base game or the bonus rounds, and when it does, you’ll see a special indicator illuminate at the top of the board. This will reveal how many symbols have landed stacked and load them onto the reel; the number of stacked symbols could be anything from 15 to 60.

You’ll receive a respin for every stacked reel, and if another Stack’n’ Sync symbol lands, it will sync up to the existing stacked reel, and you’ll get a further respin.

If you don’t have any stacked symbols but the whole reel contains buffalo instead, you’ll trigger the Stampede Reel. This feature adds a special multiplier of up to x100 to any wins that land.

Scatters are also included on the board; landing three or more will trigger the free spins round. As well as receiving ten free spins, you’ll also benefit from more of the high pays.

Bonus symbols are different from the standard scatters, and if you land four, you’ll launch the Stampede Spins feature. This is played on a separate grid containing skulls, buffalo and Stack’n’ Sync symbols. The skulls are blocker symbols, while the Stack’n’ Sync symbol stacks the reels with up to 60 buffalo symbols, removing any skulls in the way. Buffalos also award an extra respin.
