How the game works and what to check

A collection count is not a trigger prediction

Buffalo Link’s collection meter is the first thing to distinguish from ordinary Buffalo imagery. Record the current displayed count and the help-screen wording before interpreting a nearly full screen. The contributing features described in this guide do not make the next base spin predictable.

A meter-based comparison needs the same bet, denomination and feature rules. If a state resets, changes ownership or belongs to a different machine setup, the earlier observation cannot simply be carried over. Use the member research only after those machine facts are established.

What is public and what members unlock

This free preview explains the feature and the rules to check. Members get the full guide, suggested starting points and the assumptions behind our estimates. Always check the machine in front of you.

Record the counter at the selected bet

Write down the counter, selected bet and denomination together. Check whether changing the bet changes the display. A number copied without its bet is not enough to compare two machines.

Meter & collector field guide

Read the number before the artwork

Look for: The Buffalo Collected Meter. It resets around 100 after the feature and must award a free feature before reaching 1,800. Buffalo heads collected during the base game, Free Games and Hold & Spin contribute to the meter.

Useful signal

Persistent Hold & Spin progress and jackpot-state evaluation.

What can mislead you

The visible Buffalo Link signal only matters after bet, denomination, ownership and reset rules are confirmed on the installed game.

Confirm on the machine

On Buffalo Link, confirm the selected game, bet required for the feature, denomination and post-award reset before assigning value to the display.

Read Write down the actual meter, count or completed positions.
Price Put the remaining distance beside the cost at the required bet.
Reset Know what clears after the award before treating the state as value left by a previous player.
Public: recognition and machine checks. Members: detailed strategy guide and entry criteria, conditional on the exact machine setup.
