Wheel opens the round
Free games always begin with the wheel feature, so the round is not awarded cold. The wheel decides whether you get free games and how many, and it ends the moment free games are hit.

Buffalo Gold Revolution: what the maker actually publishes
Buffalo Gold Revolution comes from Aristocrat, and the maker publishes no return figure, no volatility rating and no maximum win for it. That is not unusual and it is not a reason to walk away — it just means the numbers that matter are set where the game is offered, not on a spec sheet.

The parts that pay: Buffalo Gold Revolution
Eight, fifteen or twenty
When the wheel lands on free games, the award is eight, fifteen or twenty spins. The count is an outcome of that spin rather than a fixed entry prize, so the round can start short or long.
Gold Buffalo collection
Collecting Gold Buffalo during the free games turns picture symbols into buffalo for the rest of the round. The change is permanent within that round, so later spins are played on a different symbol set.
Multipliers on every wild
Each wild carries a multiplier that applies to the whole spin, not to one line. It changes the size of a win when a wild is involved and leaves the long-run return untouched.
Step by step
What happens when you press spin
- 01
Trigger the round
The free games round is reached through the game's own trigger, and it always opens on the wheel rather than with a spin count already set.
- 02
Watch the wheel
The wheel awards jackpots, credit prizes, Gold Buffalo or the free games, and it stops as soon as free games come up. Whatever it lands on before that is what you take into the round.
- 03
Play the free spins
You receive eight, fifteen or twenty spins depending on the wheel. During them, every wild carries a multiplier that applies to the whole spin.
- 04
Collect Gold Buffalo
Gold Buffalo collected during the round convert picture symbols to buffalo for the remaining spins. The conversion holds to the end of the free games and does not carry into the base game.
Where to play
Which of these the numbers favour
These pokies are ranked by the return figure each maker publishes, which is the comparison Buffalo Gold Revolution cannot offer because its maker publishes none.

Why the maker's page stays quiet
Aristocrat publishes the game and its feature set; the commercial numbers are configured per venue and per jurisdiction. That is why a single maker-side figure could not be accurate for every market, and why the manufacturer does not put one up. The absence is a fact about how this game is distributed rather than a gap the maker has overlooked, and it applies to the return, the volatility rating and the maximum win alike.
What you get instead is a specification plate and a feature list. Here that is Provider: Aristocrat, plus four published mechanics: free games awarded as 8, 15 or 20 spins, a wheel feature that opens the round, Gold Buffalo collection that turns picture symbols into buffalo, and a multiplier on every wild that applies to the whole spin. Those are the facts you can plan around.
Where to find the number that counts
The return figure for any individual machine or game info screen is set by the operator running it, so two venues offering Buffalo Gold Revolution can show different numbers. The version on the machine, or in the operator's own game information panel, is the only figure you can rely on for the game in front of you. Read it before you decide what to spend.
The same applies to volatility and to the maximum win. If a venue does not display them, ask; if they still cannot tell you, treat that as information about the venue. A site that will not show a return figure is telling you something about how it treats the boring parts of the job.
Reading the feature set that is published
The free games round always opens with the wheel, and the wheel awards jackpots, credit prizes, Gold Buffalo or the free games themselves. It ends when free games are hit, so the spin count you start with is the outcome of that wheel rather than a fixed entry prize. Collecting Gold Buffalo during the free games turns picture symbols into buffalo for the remainder of the round, which changes what the later spins can pay.
Every wild carries a multiplier, and it applies to the whole spin rather than to a single line. That is a meaningful design detail, but it is not a plan. A multiplier raises the size of a win when one lands; it does nothing to the long-run return, which stays the venue's figure either way.
FAQ
Still unsure? Start here
What is the return to player on Buffalo Gold Revolution?
Aristocrat publishes no return figure for this game, so there is no maker-side number to quote. The return is set per venue and per jurisdiction, which means the only reliable figure is the one shown on the machine or in the operator's game info screen.
Is Buffalo Gold Revolution high volatility?
No volatility rating is published by the maker for this game, so any label you see elsewhere is either the venue's own or someone's guess. Ask the operator to show its published rating rather than relying on a third-party description.
What is the maximum win?
The maker publishes no maximum win for Buffalo Gold Revolution. Where a cap exists it is configured by the venue, so check the operator's game information if the size of the top prize matters to your decision.
Can I play a demo of Buffalo Gold Revolution?
Free-play versions exist at some operators, and they use the same published feature set described here. A demo tells you how the wheel and the Gold Buffalo collection feel, but it does not tell you the return the real game pays at that venue.
