Buffalo Trail offers a unique western frontier-themed slot experience for Australian gamblers at Sky Crown. With stunning graphics and audio immersing players in the world of the Wild West, it stands out from typical slots. The colourful symbols like cowboys, horses, campfires, and more capture the adventurous pioneer spirit. Smooth western soundtrack and sound effects like horse neighs, gunshots, and campfire crackling enhance the atmosphere.
Bonus Rounds
Buffalo Trail’s main bonus round is triggered when three or more scatter symbols (the Campfire) land on the reels. This awards 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier applied to all payouts. Before the free spins begin, the player chooses one of five characters (the Cowboy, the Outlaw, the Sheriff, the Prospector, or the Saloon Girl) to be the Hero for the bonus round. Each character offers varying multipliers:
- Cowboy: 5x multiplier on wild wins
- Outlaw: Random additional wilds added during free spins
- Sheriff: Up to 10x total bet multiplier won on the last free spin
- Prospector: Any 3+ scatter symbols award extra free spins
- Saloon Girl: 10 free games instead of 10
The player’s choice of Hero determines bonuses during the free spins. So choose wisely!
