5 Wild Buffalo 2 plays on a 5x4 grid with 1,024 ways to win. Wins are formed by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost side. The base game includes golden buffalo stacks that can trigger special in-reel features like nudges and shuffles to help form winning combinations.

The main bonus round is triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols, awarding up to 25 free spins. During the feature, wilds expand to cover entire reels with multipliers ranging from 6x to 12x, and a golden buffalo stack shifts across the reels on every spin. With its high volatility, this slot suits players who prefer risk and reward.
