Young Buffalo Coins Special

Young Buffalo Coins Special Overview

Young Buffalo Coins Special is a three-reel, five-row Evoplay game built on the same principle as the studio's Safari Coins: there are no regular wins in the main game at all. Every symbol on the reels is a special symbol, no combinations pay along lines, and all the values are settled inside the bonus round.

The two games share their rulebook almost word for word – the same six special symbols, the same jackpot ladder, the same buy prices. What they do not share is the ceiling. Safari Coins caps out at 1,000x the bet; this one goes to 5,000x, and the volatility rating moves from Low to Medium-High to match.

The setting is the American plains: an orange sky over red canyon walls, a herd of buffalo in silhouette along the horizon, and the same landscape shifting to deep blue night during the bonus. A golden buffalo head sits on top of the reel frame, with the four jackpot plates down the left.

No Base-Game Wins

Three symbols of any type on the middle row is the only trigger, and until that happens nothing on the reels is worth anything. The Bonus coin carries 0.5x to 4x the bet; the Sticky Bonus is richer at 5x to 9x and stays on the reels until the round begins; the Jackpot Bonus holds a Mini, Mega or Super jackpot.

Three more symbols carry no value of their own. The Buffalo collects everything on the reels each time it lands, then stays put. Mystery turns into any other symbol except a Sticky Bonus, and Mystery Jackpot holds one of the three jackpots – both revealing one at a time once the round is over.

One warning from the rules deserves repeating: playing a spin at a different bet clears the Sticky Bonus symbols currently on the reels. Change your stake and whatever you have built up is gone.

Buffalo Spirit

Buffalo Spirit is the multiplier engine, and it can fire at random in the main game or the bonus. On its first activation, random reel positions receive multipliers of x2 to x15; if it triggers in the base game, three symbols then land on the middle row and the bonus starts immediately.

On later activations new multipliers appear and existing ones can increase, and at the finish each multiplier is applied to whatever value sits in its own position. The demo shows the grid tagged x2 and x3 with coins reading 1 and 2 underneath – and that is the design in miniature. At a 2.00 bet a coin worth 1 is half the stake; under a x3 it is one and a half. The multipliers, not the coins, are where the money is.

The Bonus Game and the Jackpots

The round starts with three spins and every new symbol resets the counter, ending when the spins run out or all 15 positions are filled. Everything that lands stays, and the values are paid as a single total.

Four fixed jackpots can be won, and only here: Grand 1,000x, Super 50x, Mega 20x and Mini 10x the bet. At the 2.00 stake the plates read 2,000, 100, 40 and 20. Jackpot Bonus symbols award Mini, Mega and Super directly; the Grand has no symbol and is paid for collecting all 15 positions.

Here is where this game separates itself from its twin. In Safari Coins the Grand at 1,000x is the maximum win – fill the grid and you have reached the top. Here the Grand is 1,000x but the ceiling is 5,000x, so a full grid is worth only a fifth of what the game can pay. The remaining four fifths have to come from Buffalo Spirit multiplying the values underneath it.

Bonus Buy, RTP and Max Win

Two purchases: the plain Bonus Game at 37x the total bet, and the Bonus Game with Buffalo Spirit at 64x. At the 2.00 stake the demo prices them at 74.00 and 128.00 EUR.

The second option is not really a luxury. Without Buffalo Spirit there are no multipliers, and without multipliers the game cannot get past its own Grand jackpot – the 73% premium buys the only route to four fifths of the maximum win.

The RTP is 96.21%, volatility is Medium-High, and the maximum win is 5,000x the bet – five times what the same engine manages under a savanna sunset.
