Chasing that 27,000x Max Win
Booming Games is slapping a massive 27,000x max win on this one – the biggest in their entire 86-game catalog. It’s basically a summer reskin of their Polar Buffalo Hold and Win game, swapping the snow for a prairie and bumping the RTP up by a tiny fraction of a percent. The big hook they advertise is a 25,000x Grand Prize if you manage to fill up all 60 spots across four grids. Sounds amazing on paper, right? But let me tell you, chasing a massive number on the box doesn’t change the cold, hard math. Actually playing this game feels a lot more grounded than that jackpot would have you believe.
The Base Game is an Absolute Grind
Let’s talk about the base game. It’s a standard 5-reel, 25-payline setup, but the payouts are honestly pitiful. The top-paying symbol (the Buffalo) only gives you 4x your bet for a five-of-a-kind. Eagles and cougars pay even less, and getting a full line of face cards basically just wins your bet back.
To make things more annoying, Wilds don’t have their own value. They just substitute for regular symbols. So, landing a massive stack of Wilds might look awesome, but it only pays out whatever cheap symbols happen to connect next to them.
Then there are the coins. Unless you land six of them to trigger the bonus, they are just dead weight that actively block your paylines. You might get a spin loaded with Wilds and coins, and it looks huge, but because Wilds don’t sub for coins, you walk away with pennies. Even when the board gives you a “great” setup – like four wilds spreading across the reels to connect top-tier buffalos – your win usually peaks at around 11x. It’s a grind. You’ll hit something on about half your spins, but it’s just your balance treading water. Lots of flashing lights, zero actual momentum.
Waiting for the Bonus
To actually get out of this base game purgatory, you need to land six coins to trigger the Hold and Win feature. There is a random Buffalo Bonus wheel that can pop off from just a single coin scatter. If it spins, it can hand out a 25x Mini jackpot, a 100x Major, a 1x to 5x multiplier for the coins on screen, or drop you straight into the bonus feature. But don’t hold your breath – it’s super elusive. Mostly, you’re just sitting there waiting for six coins to naturally drop.
Honestly, most players are just going to skip to the Bonus Buy. It costs 100x your bet, and nicely enough, the RTP stays exactly the same at 96.1%. I appreciate when providers do that so you don’t feel penalized mathematically for skipping the grind.
Paying for Empty Squares
So, you’re in the bonus. You start on a standard 3×5 grid with your 6 coins and 3 respins (which reset when a new coin lands). The dream here is to unlock three more identical grids stacked on top of each other. You need 9 coins to unlock the second grid, 18 for the third, and 27 for the top one. If you somehow fill a whole 15-square grid, all the values on it double, including the Mini and Major jackpots.
That’s how it works in the rulebook. In reality? It’s a massive bottleneck.
You’ll usually land a few quick coins to unlock the second grid, and then the supply just completely dries up. I bought a 100x bonus that lasted for 17 respins, and I walked away with a bunch of loose coins and an 8x Mini jackpot. My total payout was 46x my bet, and I was left staring at a mostly empty second grid, nowhere near that 27,000x max win they tease you with.
