3 Charge Buffalo Slot Overview

3 Charge Buffalo is a casino slot from TaDa Gaming that welcomes you back to the prairie in a chaotic stampede. Part of the studios' Charge Buffalo series that seems to be ever-changing with each new release, 3 Charge Buffalo rolls out with a 3-in-1 feature in the form of TriLuck, a huge leap from its original Multiplier Wild gameplay loop with Charge Buffalo in 2021, and its expanding playing grid in Charge Buffalo-ASCENT from 2024. While not too different in theme or setting, the game offers a highly volatile experience with its mix-matching of features, ranging from Double Up, Gold, and Cash bonuses, to make every feature hit feel different. So, grab your cowboy hat, as we’re heading back to the Wild West, where herds of buffalo and bonus games will help you hit the max win of 10,000X the bet.

3 Charge Buffalo Slot Information

Just as its predecessors, when you enter the game, you will be welcomed by a herd of buffalo charging down into the reels. You’ll find yourself in a valley, surrounded by tall mountains, a very typical Wild Western soundtrack played on a guitar with the occasional whistling, and sometimes even hear a background audience yelling out “buffalo!” as you hit. The game can be played on most mobiles, desktops, and notepads. Wins are made by landing 3 or more of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 0.5X to 1X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are the moose, wolf, bear, eagle, and buffalo. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 1.5X to 3X the bet. You’ll also find various special symbols, such as Wilds, Scatters, and Buffalo Coin Symbols that all have their own special effects, but you can learn more about that in the feature section.

Wild Symbols

Wild Symbols help form winning combinations by being able to substitute all paying symbols, except for the Special Symbols. There are two kinds of Wilds, the standard Wild Symbol that offers a 2X or 3X Multiplier during the TriLuck bonus game, and the Cowboy Wild that acts as a Collect Symbol, but it can only appear during the Cash TriLuck bonus.

TriLuck

There are 3 types of colored Buffalo Coins that can show up during the base game, with each having a random chance to trigger whenever they land on the reels. Whenever a TriLuck bonus is triggered, you will be awarded 8 free spins and the bonuses corresponding to the colored Buffalo Coins that triggered the feature.

Purple Coin = Triggers the Double Up bonus, adding an additional 5x4 playing grid which spins independently.

Orange Coin  = Triggers the Gold bonus with Golden Buffalo Symbols appearing on the reels. After collecting a specific amount, it will convert other high-paying symbols to the highest-paying Buffalo symbol.

Green Coin = Triggers the Cash bonus, where all Buffalo Symbols will include either Cash Prizes or random Multipliers ranging from 0.5X to 1,000X. These rewards can only be collected by the Cowboy Wild Symbols.

Scatter Symbols also show up during the bonus game, allowing you to hit retriggers for additional spins. Hitting 2, 3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols will award 5, 8, 15, or 20 additional spins, respectively.

50X = Awards the TriLuck bonus game with 1, 2, or 3 Special Symbols.

100X = Awards the TriLuck bonus game with  2 or 3 Special Symbols.

150X = Awards the TriLuck bonus game with all 3 Special Symbols.

3 Charge Buffalo Slot Conclusion

3 Charge Buffalo brings back a classic TaDa Gaming series, and a feature which we haven’t seen in quite a while, that being the TriLuck bonus game, which we have seen previously in games like 3 Lucky Piggy TriLuck and 3 Pot Dragons, but this time with slight variations. While the game delivers on engaging spins and good visuals, it’s not like it’s very original, as Wild Western and Buffalo-themed slots are a dime a dozen, and sadly, 3 Charge Buffalo doesn’t really do that well to be able to stand out in a crowd. However, even if the theming or visuals aren’t enough to keep the game interesting, its TriLuck feature, albeit a bit simple, may be the key to success. So with all of that said, let’s move over to discussing the gameplay.

Starting with stats, we got a pretty high RTP of 97%, a solid hit frequency of 24.06, and a great max win of 10,000X the bet. To play to these strengths, however, you’ll need some luck with lining up your bonus game triggers. The game is all about the TriLuck feature, so much so that there is no other feature to really play around with, except for the standard Wild Symbols, in the base game. The TriLuck feature comes with some pretty nice bonuses, and while playing on two playing grids, having extra multipliers, and plenty of high-paying symbols are nice by themselves, they are at their best when you trigger all bonuses at the same time, making for a highly volatile bonus game. But, we have to point out that on the way to that, the game can be a bit sluggish, with no real base game features to play around with, and then maybe some players like to lean into the Feature Buy, which allows you to start the TriLuck bonus game with however many bonuses you want. So if herding buffalo and living the cowboy life sounds like it fits you, you may want to check out the game’s demo, which we host here on our website.

3 Charge Buffalo is a slot that brings back the classic TriLuck feature, with 3 volatile bonuses that will keep you spinning for the next big hit.
