What is Double Buffalo Spirit?

It’s WMS’s plains-themed money machine, running on 1,024 ways to win rather than fixed lines. That structure matters for the payout hunter: with symbols paying on any adjacent reels from the left, a single lucky spin can fill the grid and pay across dozens of combinations at once. The bigger your stake, the bigger those combinations are worth — and the bonus is where they multiply.

How to play Double Buffalo Spirit

Set your bet, spin, and let the ways-pays tally your wins automatically. Simple. But remember the golden rule of chasing top payouts: your win is always tied to your stake. A 100x line hit means very different things at 0.40 and at 100 a spin — so bet at a level that makes the big multipliers count while still respecting your bankroll.

The wild that builds the big ones

The Golden Buffalo is the wild, standing in for everything except the bonus symbol, and it lands only on the three central reels. That’s exactly where you want it — smack in the middle, completing the maximum number of paying ways on a heavy spin.

Features & bonus round

This is the engine room for a life-of-the-session win. Three or more bonus symbols trigger free spins — 8, 15 or 20 to start — and retriggers pile on even more. Now the important part: every wild that lands in a winning combo during free spins turns into a 2x or 3x multiplier. Get multiple multiplying wilds across those 1,024 ways in a single spin and the numbers snowball fast. This is where the biggest hits on Double Buffalo Spirit are made, full stop. No bonus buy here, so those top-end spins have to be earned — which makes them hit even harder when they land.

Graphics, sound & theme

Let’s be honest — you’re not here for the graphics, and it’s an older game that looks the part. But the presentation does its job: the buffalo roar on a big win is pure WMS, and there’s real satisfaction in watching a bonus total climb. Clean, readable reels mean you can watch those multipliers stack without any clutter getting in the way of the payout you’re chasing.

Pros

  • Free-spins multipliers stack for serious top-end wins
  • 1,024 ways can pay across dozens of combos at once
  • Central wilds maximise paying ways on big spins
  • Retriggers extend your shot at the big total
  • Flexible stakes up to 100 to scale your win potential

Cons

  • No single advertised max-win figure
  • RTP slightly below the 96% benchmark
  • Big wins live in the bonus — the base game is quieter
  • Dated look for a payout-focused player
4.3/5  —  Our verdict

If you chase the top end, Double Buffalo Spirit puts the potential exactly where it should be: stacked wild multipliers across 1,024 ways in the free-spins round. The lack of a posted max win and sub-96% RTP hold it back a touch, but when that bonus stacks, the totals get seriously exciting.

Double Buffalo Spirit FAQ

What’s the max win on Double Buffalo Spirit?

WMS doesn’t publish a single headline max-win figure for this title. Check the paytable in-game to see the top-paying combinations at your chosen stake.

Where do the biggest wins come from?

The free-spins round. Wilds in winning combos become 2x or 3x multipliers, and stacking several across the 1,024 ways is how the top payouts are built.

Does a higher bet mean a bigger win?

Yes — payouts scale with your stake, so the same multiplier is worth far more at a higher bet. Always play within your bankroll.

Is there a bonus buy to reach the big feature faster?

No. There’s no feature-buy option, so the free spins and their multipliers must be triggered naturally with three or more bonus symbols.

What’s the RTP?

Around 95.96%, just below the 96% standard. Confirm it in your casino’s game info.
