Start a stampede of wins in Buffalo Thunderstorm by Elysium Studios

Top new title in the Elysium Studios line-up sees players tame the Great Plains with expanding cluster wins, symbol upgrades, buffalo wilds and a thrilling free spins feature.

Get ready to channel your spirit animal and roam wild on the Great Plains of North America in Buffalo Thunderstorm – an exciting new cluster-pays slot from Elysium Studios where consecutive wins expand the reel grid from 5×5 to 8×5 and can deliver wins of up to 3,710x the bet.

Starting out on a 5×5 grid flanked by two imposing totem poles, Buffalo Thunderstorm gets bigger and better with every payout. The first, second and third cluster wins landed within a single spin each add an additional row to the reel grid, and once it reaches its maximum 8×5 size, the Symbol Swap feature can randomly trigger.

Drawing on the power of the buffalo, the two totem poles will occasionally zap all junior symbols on the reels and upgrade them to one matching senior symbol, helping to create new winning clusters. Additionally, if a Buffalo Wild contributes to consecutive wins, it may grow up to 3×3 tiles in size, making it easier to complete subsequent clusters.

Alongside this escalating base game mechanic, Buffalo Thunderstorm also features a Free Spins bonus that’s activated by landing three scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Whenever this happens, players receive 10 free spins on a fully expanded 8×5 grid, with an additional modifier selected at random at the start of each spin.

Possible modifiers include guaranteed Symbol Swaps, 2×2 or 3×3 Buffalo Wilds and multipliers worth up to 25x. Landing three further scatter symbols during the feature awards 10 additional free spins.

Players who do not wish to wait for their stampede of free spins can enter the feature directly using the Bonus Button or increase their stake slightly to activate Bet Boost mode, which increases the chance of triggering Free Spins during the base game by 30%.

Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, chief commercial officer at Swintt, said: “Buffalo Thunderstorm is a strong addition to the Elysium Studios line-up, with an expanding cluster-pays mechanic that gives every sequence of consecutive wins a clear sense of progression.

“The combination of a growing reel grid, expanding Buffalo Wilds and varied Free Spins modifiers gives the game plenty of visual momentum and feature variety, while offering Swintt partners another distinctive title for their portfolios.”
