Has anyone ever seen a full screen of Buffalos?

    I've never heard of it nor seen it. A floor attendant told me that they think they've seen it once - and that it paid an insane amount.

    I tried to find confirmation online if this was possible, but I was never able to find any stories or videos confirming it.

    I tend to believe it's possible, but it's got to be highly unlikely. The demo screes show full screens of Buffalo at least, so should be possible in game? The payout would have to be absolutely insane.

    On regular buffalo it does show it in the demo? I've never paid that close of as attention.

    It's definitely IMPOSSIBLE for regular Buffalo. I'm not positive about the other variants.

    I had near full screens on Buffalo Stampede, minus two spots. No multipliers of course and it was a hand pay at $3.00 bet.
    I would say any full screen top symbol is possible, but not probable.

    Which variant of buffalo are you talking about?

    For regular buffalo outside Nevada you can get 3 per reel. For regular buffalo in Nevada you can only get 1 2 2 2 3.

    I think it's like Bigfoot. Probably a myth and does not exist, but I know I will keep anxiously searching for it! $2.20 to 3.60 at a time.
    I just hope I have a camera ready when it pops up.

    Ya- i would think that the processor would take at least 30 seconds to figure out how much was won and commence the coin show.

    It's important to clearly specify the variant here. It sounds like it's possible on "Buffalo Stampede" if you were that close, but it's not possible on regular "Buffalo". You can't even get a single reel of 4 Buffalo on that game!

    Buffalo grand is the version that shows a full screen of buffaloes when the game is inactive. So I’m assuming that’s what the technicians are talking about. A little misleading if that combo is impossible to achieve.

    Buffalo Grand at least teases a full screen. But I really have no idea

    Since I have no life...sigh

    It looks to be theoretically possible at least in a bonus round (likely a regular round too, but it was easier to find bonus round videos). I watched various buffalo Grand bonus rounds for over an hour now to verify that each reel can be full of buffaloes at least during the bonus round. So yes, yes they can all be filled. The reel I struggled to find fill up was reel 1 (dicks). Reel 5 filled up multiple times and the most while I watched (dicks). The one video that I finally found reel 1 to fill up, the person was at Cosmo on my birthday, lucky dick.

    Now from a practical perspective, the odds are probably really, really against the player. But I expect it to be better odds than 50 million to 1 as this is likely the top win for a max bet player? I've seen the game in states that have a 50 million to 1 rule for the top win. And I don't think you can get a full reel of buffalo with a multiplier attached either.

    There is no clear video of this event actually being captured. One dick taped the demo screen with the surroundings cut off. That's the first video you'll find in the google search.

    Logically, there should be a better chance for Buffalo Gold than other versions since getting 15 gold buffalo heads turns other animals to buffalos for the rest of the free games, but I have not even seen the screen filled up with all animals.

    Not necessarily. It also depends on how the poker cards are placed on the reels. As a whole it looks like poker cards are more evenly distributed in the reels.

    What a screen! Buffalo Grand is the only version of buffalo I have never hit a handpay on.

    Take away the progressives and have more line hits like this.

    I agree only Grand and Stampede are possible.
    Gold theoretically could have a whole reel of buffalo in bonus, especially reel 5.

    The only full screen of any game that I have personally seen that was actually legit was a full screen of The Moon Wolves on Wild Wolf Slot Machine on a YouTube Slot video. Unfortunately, the person was only playing .10 IIRC and only got like $500. Had they been playing $5 Max Bet, it would have been a whopping $5,000! O.O

    Several years ago, my friend was waiting on Ruby Slippers to come open beside me when they were on the back wall at Aria - down from Javier's. There was a bank of Buffalo Grand right next to them back then. She sat down and stuck a 20 in while waiting - betting 75 cents and got the full screen. From memory, it paid around $975. Neither of us had played Buffalo back then - and had no idea how amazing that hit was. Such a shame that we didn't think to take a picture.....and that she was not betting max!
