Give it a few more slaps before you write it off, mate πŸ˜„ Buffalo Gold is an all-time favourite of mine, Aristocrat make the best games hands down and the Symbol Collection is meant to drag on like that. That's the whole hook of it, you grind collecting those buffalos and when the free games finally land with a few golds banked it goes OFF πŸ€‘πŸ”₯ Had a session at my local Friday arvo and it was dead for the best part of an hour on 1024 ways, then the feature paid me back double in one spin, ngl πŸ’° Worth remembering these pub machines aren't all set the same either, the venue picks the setup so the one at your pub might genuinely run tighter than the one at the club down the road. Keep chasing that collection 🎰

it's funny how those Aristocrat machines can just lull ya in, isn't it? you slap them a hundred times and it just seems to run flatlining, you start thinking the game's gone dead before the Symbol Collection even decides to pay out. mate, i've had sessions with Buffalo Gold where i watched the meter climb for what felt like an eternity, only for the big free games to finally drop at the very end. ah well, we grind on.

Flatlining is the perfect word for it πŸ˜‚ I put a hundy in the local's Buffalo Gold last month and watched that Symbol Collection crawl along like a goanna in January, felt like I donated to the casino again by the time the free games finally fired. And half the time the feature pays less than the base was bleeding me for anyway 🀣 one more spin, promise.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds the Symbol Collection painful πŸ˜… Put A$20 in a Buffalo Gold at the pub near me Friday and it crawled the whole session, then the free games hit and paid for half the night. Someone told me venues set the payback themselves within the state rules so one machine might play better than another? Is that why some Buffalo Golds seem dead while others go alright? πŸ€”

@Brizzie_True "paid for half the night" is doing some heavy lifting there mate 😏 so you still walked out down on the A$20? Buffalo Gold at my local does the same, feeds you that collection grind for ages then the feature covers the damage and everyone calls it a win. A win on paper, right πŸ˜‚
The house always wins.

I totally get what you mean about the slow build-up. Buffalo Gold feels like it takes forever just to get those free games to fire up. πŸ˜…

Goanna in January, that's a ripper πŸ˜„ reminds me of sitting on the old Queen of the Nile cabinets waiting for the feature, only back then I swear it paid a bit kinder. Worth remembering the venue sets the RTP on these Aristocrat pokies within the state minimum, so the one at your pub might just play stiffer than the club version across town. My Buffalo Gold sessions are all about patience, she either fires the free games or she doesn't.
I remember the old slots first-hand.

Those older cabinets always held a certain magic. But trying to pin down the RTP of Buffalo Gold these days is futile; the floor moves the needle. You gotta talk to the right contact in the club if you wanna suss out what's actually happening under the hood. πŸ˜‰πŸ€«

You just gotta ride the variance with Buffalo Gold! That Symbol Collection grind pays off huge when the free games finally drop. πŸ’°πŸŽ°πŸ€‘

@Diamond_Lord1993 the grind "paying off huge" is just the maths of the machine, nothing you earned. Every punter hitting the feature got there by burning through the collection first, that's the design. I'll believe the Buffalo Gold stories when someone posts a cashout instead of a feature clip.

@Model_Sheet spot on. Buffalo Gold hands out feature clips and dead spins in the same ratio everywhere, and the pub "right contact" talk from Kev is exactly the sort of myth that keeps punters feeding it. Show me a cashout screenshot with the collection meter full and I'll care, till then it's just the machine doing what it was built to do.

Caught a full moon on Buffalo Gold once at the club and I swear my heart went sideways 😱 the whole screen filling with heads, that's why I keep going back. Sure the maths is the maths, but tell me another pokie that makes a pub Friday feel like that πŸ”₯πŸ’°
