How the Feature Works

The core mechanic of Buffalo Ascension involves the three middle reels (reels 2, 3, and 4). These reels start at a height of 4 symbols and can expand up to a maximum of 7 symbols. A reel's height increases by one symbol each time an arrow symbol lands on it.

When an arrow symbol lands on a reel that is already maxed out at 7 symbols high, you are awarded the bonus prize displayed directly above that specific reel. It is important to note that the game is designed to make arrows less frequent as reels get taller.

There are three possible bonus prizes you can win:

Stampede: For a single spin, all instances of one or more random symbols are transformed into Buffalo symbols.
Super Stampede: A more powerful version where all instances of three or more random symbols are transformed into Buffalo symbols for one spin.
Free Games: Awards a free games bonus round, which may include multipliers for bigger wins.

What to Be Careful About

Strategy Note: If you identify a playable machine, the strategy is to play until one of the reel features is triggered. After the feature, you must re-evaluate the machine to see if an advantage still exists. Be aware that this is a very volatile and expensive game.
