Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme is a Booming Games slot with five reels of three and 25 paylines. Gold coins drive both features. Landing coins can start the Buffalo Bonus, a wheel spin for a Mini (25x the bet), a Major (100x), a 1x to 5x coin multiplier or entry to Hold and Win Extreme. Six or more coins open that round directly: up to four grids, each doubling its coins when full, and a 1000x Grand Bonus when all 60 places fill.
The game's rules screen at your casino gives its full terms.

How the base game works
Booming Games describes Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme as a 5x3 slot with 25 paylines, and the lines are fixed. A line pays for matching symbols in an unbroken run from the left, only its best win counts, and wins on several lines add up.
The symbols are J, Q, K and A, four animal portraits (a wolf, a mountain lion, an eagle and a buffalo), a WILD plaque and gold coins, some lettered MINI or MAJOR. The wild stands in for everything except the coins. Coins carry values, paid through the wheel's All Coins prize and at the end of Hold and Win Extreme.
The Buffalo Bonus wheel
When coins land in the base game, they can start the Buffalo Bonus by chance. The look of the logo is "only an aesthetic representation" and does not raise that chance. The bonus gives one spin of a wheel with four prizes, and no odds are published for its segments. Rand figures are at R1 a spin.
- Hold and Win Extreme. Coins of random values are added until six are on screen, and the round starts.
- Mini Bonus. 25x the bet, so R25.
- Major Bonus. 100x the bet, so R100.
- 1x All Coins to 5x All Coins. The coins on screen are added up and multiplied by the figure won. Coins of 2x, 5x and 10x with a 3x prize pay (2 + 5 + 10) x 3 = 51x, or R51.
Hold and Win Extreme, step by step
Six or more coins in the base game start the round, and so does the wheel's Hold and Win Extreme prize.
-
Three spins, reset by each new coin
The round always starts with 3 spins, and every new coin resets the count to 3. Only coins appear on the reels, and each stays where it lands. -
Up to four grids
The round can play on up to four 3x5 grids and starts with one open. A total of 9 coins opens the second grid, 18 the third and 27 the fourth. -
Coin values
1x to 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x or 20x the bet, or 25x as a Mini Bonus and 100x as a Major Bonus. A grid can hold at most one Mini and one Major. -
A full grid doubles
When all 15 places on a grid hold coins, every value on that grid is doubled, the Mini and the Major included. -
The payout
When the spins run out or all 60 coins have landed, the values on show are paid. All 60 also add a Grand Bonus of 1000x the bet.
What the grids add up to
The thresholds count coins across the whole round, not per grid, so the second grid can open at 9 while the first still has gaps. The Grand needs all 60 places, which means four full grids: every coin is doubled and the 1000x comes on top.
A full grid holding a Major, a Mini and thirteen 2x coins is 100 + 25 + 26 = 151x, doubled to 302x, or R302 at R1 a spin.
The 1000x Grand is a fixed prize, not the game's maximum win. The rules set a separate win cap, and reaching it ends any active feature.
Buy Bonus: 100x the bet
The rules price the Bonus at 100x your bet: R100 at R1 a spin, R500 at R5. That is a hundred spins' worth of stake on one round. The terms at the end of the rules can show a separate return figure for the purchase, so compare the two first.
Check the name: four tiles with the same buffalo
Booming Games lists this game as Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme, but its tile reads Booming Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme. The same buffalo head fronts three more games: Buffalo Hold and Win, whose logo stops at HOLD AND WIN, and Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 10,000 and Booming Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 25,000, whose logos add the number after EXTREME.
Those are separate games with demos of their own, and so is Polar Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 25,000. This page covers the one with nothing after Extreme. Buffalo King Megaways is a Pragmatic Play game, unrelated to this series.

Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme FAQ
Is this the same game as Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 10,000?
No. Booming Games lists the Extreme 10,000 as a separate game with its own demo, as it does the two games ending in 25,000. This page covers the one with no number in its name.
What is the most Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme can pay?
The rules cap a win at a multiple of the base bet, and reaching the cap ends any feature in progress. Read the figure in the rules at your casino. The 1000x Grand Bonus is a fixed prize for filling all four grids, not that cap.
Where do I find the RTP?
In the terms and conditions of the game's rules, which can also carry a separate line for the Buy Bonus. Booming Games' own site does not list the figure, so check it at your casino.
Can the Buffalo Bonus wheel award the Grand?
Not directly. Booming Games' video description names Mini, Major and Grand prizes together, but the rules list four wheel prizes: Hold and Win Extreme, the Mini Bonus (25x), the Major Bonus (100x) and 1x to 5x All Coins. The 1000x Grand comes from all 60 coins landing in Hold and Win Extreme, a round the wheel can award.
