Buffalo Gold Max Power is part of a series of slots that have variable height reels that shift with each spin. On each spin, each of the six reels can be anywhere from 2 to 6 spaces tall, creating up to 46,656 ways to win.
This yielded a question from a player on our Facebook page:
On Buffalo Gold Max Power, if the Buffalo is larger does it count as more spaces or just 1?

Because the amount of symbols in a reel will change each spin, the size of the symbols will be bigger or smaller accordingly, so that whatever symbol count exists for that spin successfully fills the reel. Each symbol, like on any other slot machine, will count for a single space.
So on Buffalo Gold Max Power, the symbols still count for one space, just as they would any other slot machine. What makes games like this unique is the potential for a lot more ways to win.
These games do not have lines at all, as they are all ways pays games, so getting more symbols on more reels, with the right symbols coming down, can yield some potentially massive payouts.
Many games of this genre also have a sixth reel, versus most Buffalo games which tend to have the more traditional (for video slots, anyway) five-reel format. That sixth reel means the pays can go even higher than five of a kind, but comes at the cost of a lot higher volatility, since the chances for getting them are smaller and the big pays will be made up for with less frequent hits.
You can knock it out of the park with a lot of six of a kinds, but there will be more dead spins to account for it.
So, this one’s for the more volatile seeking among us, but we hope this helps you better understand how these games are structured and how their pays work.
