The reels contain eight regular pay symbols: four royals and four animal characters, including a wolf, panther, eagle, and the game’s top-paying buffalo. In addition, gold prize coins can appear in the base game, along with a multicoloured wheel bonus symbol and the game’s wilds, which are tiles featuring mounted buffalo horns.
To score payouts, match identical symbols on consecutive reels from left to right along one of the title’s 20 fixed paylines. The paytable shows payouts as a multiplier of a £1.00 wager:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jack | - | 0.10 | 0.40 | 1.00 |
| Queen | - | 0.10 | 0.40 | 1.00 |
| King | - | 0.20 | 0.50 | 1.50 |
| Ace | - | 0.20 | 0.50 | 1.50 |

| Panther | - | 0.70 | 1.50 | 4.00 |

Wild symbols appear on all reels in the base game, substituting for regular pay symbols to help you score payline wins. In the Wild Buffalo Heard feature, multiplier wilds apply their values to any winning combos they help to create.
This is a side bet that you can toggle on and off during the base game. Activating the side bet increases your chances of hitting bonus features for a fee of 25% the base bet.
Each gold prize coin that lands in the base game is collected in the chest. At any time, this can randomly trigger the Ultra Hold and Win bonus.
This feature is randomly activated during the base game, and when it is, a selection of regular pay symbols on the reels is transformed into wilds or multiplier wilds for more chances to hit bigger wins.
Hit three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 to activate the Bonus Wheel. You get one spin for a chance to score one of the following prizes:
Landing five or more prize coins on a single base game spin will award the Hold and Win bonus game. The bonus is a respins game played on an alternative 5x4 reel set with four unlockable rows above the active grid.
When the bonus begins, you are awarded three respins, and your triggering prize coins are locked in place. Each time a new prize coin lands, it locks in place and resets your respins. Collecting prize coins will unlock the rows above the reels one at a time. The number of coins required to unlock the next row is displayed on the banner across the rows.
Above the main grid is the Ultra Reel that becomes active when the following criteria are met:
