3 Charge Buffalo

3 Charge Buffalo Overview

3 Charge Buffalo is a TaDa Gaming slot built on the studio’s TriLuck engine: five reels, 1,024 ways, a 96.27% RTP, medium-high volatility and a maximum win of 10,000x the bet.

The “3” in the title is literal – there are three separate collection barrels above the reels, and the game is about filling them. All figures below were read from demo play at 100 and 10 stakes.

Theme and Graphics

The setting is the American southwest at golden hour: red mesas, scrub grass and a dust cloud rolling in. Three enormous bison stand behind the reels with light streaming from their nostrils, and the whole upper half of the screen belongs to them – this is a portrait game, built for a phone held upright.

The symbols are North American wildlife – a bison, a black bear, a moose, a grey wolf and a bald eagle – over carved card letters. The wild is a mesa at sunrise marked with a large W.

Three Barrels, Three Charges

The mechanic sits in plain view above the reels: three wooden barrels filling with gold coins, labelled DOUBLE UP (purple), GOLD (orange) and CASH (green).

Each fills independently as the bison charge, and each pays out differently – one doubles, one awards gold values, one pays cash. Having three meters running at once is unusual, and it gives ordinary spins a purpose even when nothing pays: every charge moves one of the barrels closer.

The captures show them at different fill levels across the session, with light bursting from the bison whenever a charge lands.

The Free Spins Award

When a barrel completes, the award screen shows it alone against the desert: the purple barrel, the TriLuck logo above it, and the text DOUBLE UP – 8 FREE SPINS.

Inside the round a wooden sign across the top of the reels tracks progress – FREE SPINS 00 / 08 – and the game changes character completely.

Cash Values in the Round

During the free spins the bison symbols stop being ordinary symbols and start carrying printed cash values. The captures show buffalo tiles marked 5, 10 and 50, and a cowboy symbol marked 80, all on the same board at a 10 stake.

★ That is the heart of the game. In the base game a bison is worth whatever the 1,024-ways table pays; in the round it is worth the number printed on it, and a board carrying several adds them together. An 80-value symbol at a 10 stake is eight times the bet from one position.

What the Base Game Produced

At the 100 stake the captured spins paid 50.00 and 260.00 – half the bet and 2.6x it – from boards with three wolves and a pair of wilds respectively. At the 10 stake a free-spin board paid 17.00, or 1.7x.

The balance moved from 1,800.00 down to 1,440.00 in the base game, then up to 2,479.20 once the round ran. That sequence is the game in miniature: the barrels are funded by ordinary spins, and the round pays them back.

Each Barrel Has Its Own Round

The three barrels do not feed one shared feature – each awards its own round, and the award screen tells you which one you are getting. The captures show two of them: the purple DOUBLE UP barrel with 8 FREE SPINS, and the green CASH barrel with the same eight-spin allocation.

Same length, different rules. That is a neat structure: you always know how long the round will be, but not what it will do until the barrel appears.

The Grid Grows

★ Inside the free spins the board is visibly taller than in the base game. The captures from the round show six rows rather than four, with the FREE SPINS counter mounted on a wooden sign above them.

More rows means more positions for the value-carrying buffalo symbols, and one captured board at a 10 stake held six of them at once – paying 48.00, or nearly five times the bet, with a 2,000-value symbol flashing at the bottom of the grid.

1,024 Ways on a Portrait Board

With four rows on five reels there are 1,024 ways to win, and no paylines to follow – matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left simply pay.

On a tall phone screen that works better than a payline game would: the grid fills the middle third of the display, the barrels occupy the top, and the controls sit underneath. Everything is reachable with one thumb, which is clearly what TaDa designed for.

The Interface

The bottom bar is deliberately sparse: a Bet field with minus and plus steppers on the left, a large circular spin button branded TaDa in the middle, and three round buttons on the right for autoplay, turbo and settings. The balance sits underneath in orange.

Who Should Play It

3 Charge Buffalo suits players who like buffalo-themed ways games and want more than one meter to watch. Three barrels filling at different rates gives the base game a texture that a single collection bar does not, and the cash-value round pays in a way you can read instantly.

At 96.27% with medium-high volatility it sits mid-table for the genre, and the 10,000x ceiling needs a round where several high-value symbols land together. Play it on a phone – that is what it was built for.
