Test Comments
This was a pretty swift 100 spin test taking just over 4 minutes to complete with the auto spins set. The win frequency was meager, although it improved late on to hit medium with 22 spins returning something.
The free spins round was not hit, but the Stack n Sync feature did land and with style, albeit on queens resulting in a full screen finally paying a very nice 90x. With the session RTP hitting 110%, you can see that without the SNS win it would have been a dire session.
The game bolys along at a pace and can be a real cash guzzler so go careful with this high volatility slot from Hacksaw Gaming

Graphics, Music, and Sound Effects
It’s no surprise to anyone to see a Hacksaw Gaming slot have great graphics and it’s the same with Buffalo Stack n Sync with bright colours and shiny symbols featuring in the slot.
Buffalo Stack n Sync has special Stack’n’Sync symbols which when landed will respin again with either 15, 30, 45 or 60 of those specific symbols added to that reel. Only 1 Stack’n’Sync symbol can land on each reel in a round but you can land on different reels in the respins to eventually get them on every single reel.
The stacked buffalo symbols set the entire reel on fire that it lands on which again is graphically pleasing and those reels land together to activate a stampede reel which gives possible multiplier values from 1x all the way up to 100x.
The background of the reel shows a few different plants and cactuses alongside big rocks from the Great Plains of North America.
Key Features
As with all of our slot game reviews, we must go through the different features in the game so that we really get to grips with it before we play.
We’ll go through the Buffalo Stack n Sync theme as well as tell you the best features in the game.
Theme – Buffalo
We’ve seen countless Buffalo-themed slots over the years and Buffalo Stack n Sync falls into that category which is no surprise from its name.
With Buffalo’s storming on the reels, it’s no surprise to hear a Western-style twang in the soundtrack fit for any cowboy film.
You’ll see basic symbols of 10, J, Q, K and A in this game with Premium Symbols featuring different animals from the Wild West including horses, eagles, wolves and of course Buffalo. The wild symbol in this game is a cactus with 5 of those symbols paying 20x your bet.
Reels
Buffalo Stack n Sync features 5-reels and 4 rows.
Paylines
There are 10 paylines in Buffalo Stack n Sync.
RTP
As with every slot game one of the most important bits of information is the Return to Player and it’s no different with Buffalo Stack n Sync. The RTP in this game is 96.36%.
As always this percentage is not the same everywhere and online casinos often alter these figures according to their current policies. To spare you the trouble, we shared a list of UK casinos where you can play this game and the respective RTPs found there.
For an even more informed decision, we advise you to check our reviews and read about the casino's welcome bonuses and deals, game libraries, customer care, payment options, and other things available in each casino.

Stake Range
The stake range will always vary from different sites with some capping the stake with its high volatility but the Hacksaw Gaming site states stakes from 10p to £100.
Max Win
The Buffalo Stack n Sync online slot limits the maximum win at 10,000x the player’s bet.
Free Spins
There are two free spin features available in Buffalo Stack n Sync with 3 scatter symbols triggering the basic Free Spin feature with 10 free spins on offer. This bonus gives a better chance of landing Stack ’n’ Sync symbols on the reels with high paying symbols also having more chances of stacking here than the base game.
The Stampede Spins bonus triggers when you hit 4 scatter symbols. This again gives you 10 free spins but the only symbols that feature in this one are non-paying skull symbols and premium buffalos. Every SNS symbol that lands gives you 5-60 buffalo symbols to add to that specific reel with massive chances of hitting big in this bonus.
Jackpot
The Buffalo Stack n Sync online slot game doesn’t have a jackpot prize but does have a Max Win of 10,000x available to be won in a single spin.
OLBG has a page where you can find the best jackpot slots if you are genuinely interested in such titles with big jackpots available.
Play Experience & First Impressions
My experience of Buffalo Stack n Sync made me feel like this game was a bit out of place for what Hacksaw Gaming usually releases. We’ve seen some unusual themes like Gladiators, Undead Zombies and even… Pigs. This game though sees us hit a generic Buffalo theme that we’ve seen many times over the years, but at least it has a different take on it.
The bulk of this game is through hitting the SNS symbols because without them, realistically, you’re pretty much hitting nothing. Seeing more and more of these symbols come through though before all 5 reels are full of them sees you start to see big wins come through.
You can tell that this game can give you mega wins and from the small play of it we’ve had you aren’t surprised that the 10,000x Max Win can come through with buffalo stacked reels starting to feature more and more the more spins we did. Despite us failing to hit the bonuses we’ve seen them in action and the Stampede Spins can hit big, but the plus side is that you can really see the potential in the standard free spins too.
Expert Verdict
Our overall verdict of this game is that Hacksaw Gaming have release another decent game that uses the same kind of themes that we’ve seen in the past. It doesn’t detract from the graphics and style of the game itself, but those recurring themes can start to see the game become stale.
With a high volatility you don’t get to see regular wins on the reels on this one, but when you do hit you tend to hit big with 10 and 20x wins getting thrown about everywhere. SNS symbols are a great new feature and it would be no surprise to see Hacksaw use the Stack n Sync feature in even more releases down the line.
