Press release.- This month, Booming Games is making it rain on the plains in Primal Buffalo PowerGrid, an electrifying new slot experience where Free Spins and an innovative PowerGrid system can lead to thunderous prizes of up to 2,150x the bet!

Played out across a unique 4x5x5x5x5x4 grid that features a staggering 10,000 ways to win, action takes place in the great grasslands of North America where deer, wolves, cougars and eagles all stalk the reels. Conventional wins are paid for any three matching symbols on adjacent reels regardless of their position, but two special PowerGrids can also award further prizes on any spin.

Located on reels 2-3 and 4-5, each PowerGrid becomes active whenever a coin symbol appears in any position. When this happens, it will lock in place for three spins, with the counter being reset if any subsequent coins land within this timeframe. Should a PowerGrid become completely filled, the value of all coins will be totalled together and paid out in addition to any standard wins.

To help this process along, Prize Reel symbols can also feature within either PowerGrid, and when they do, they’ll trigger an Ultra Prize Reel spin. This one-time bonus offers a range of rewarding extras, including multipliers that are applied to all locked coin symbols, one of the MINI, MINOR, MAJOR or GRAND prize pots, or a COLLECT icon that instantly awards a win and ends the feature.

On top of that exciting base game mechanic, players can also activate Free Spins whenever they land three or more buffalo scatter symbols. Awarding 6, 8, 10 or 12 Free Spins based on the number of triggering scatters, all coin values will now be paid at the end of the feature, with successfully completed PowerGrids awarding their prize and being reset so players can go again.

Additional Free Spins can also be won by landing subsequent scatter symbols during the feature, and if players don’t want to wait to charge horns-first into the action, they can also purchase Free Spins directly by using the game’s Buy Bonus button for an optional stake of 20x the selected bet.

Craig Asling, director of Games at Booming Games, said: “An action-packed new entry in our popular Buffalo series of slots, Primal Buffalo PowerGrid offers an entirely new twist on the format thanks to its unique PowerGrid system. With this innovative mechanic capable of adding coin wins and jackpot prizes to every spin in both the base game and the bonus, it’s one of our most ambitious features to date and will surely prove to be a huge hit with players and operators alike.”
