BetMGM Casino launches Buffalo slot game in Ontario
BetMGM Casino in Ontario has enriched its online offering with the launch of the Buffalo slot game.
This addition bolsters BetMGM's extensive library, which now boasts over 2,500 games, including 250 unique titles developed by its in-house team at Entain.
History of Buffalo slot machine
Originally designed for land-based establishments by Aristocrat, Buffalo slot has been adapted for online gaming by Anaxi, Aristocrat's division dedicated to online Real Money Gaming. This version is structured with 20 paylines and a 5x4 grid, inviting players to collect wins by lining up Buffalo symbols across the screen.
In September 2023 Anaxi - the online gaming arm of Aristocrat - has launched the popular Buffalo slot into the realm of digital casinos. This marked the beginning of a series of expected releases across various operators and locations, in the United States, Canada and internationally.
Buffalo joins a list of Aristocrat's land-based games that have moved to the online gaming market, including major titles such as Timberwolf, Wicked Winnings II, Sun & Moon, Wild Lepre'coins, Wild Wild Nugget, Wild Wild Samurai and Miss Kitty.
Anaxi Chief Operating Officer Cath Burns expressed excitement at bringing a legendary gambling machine like Buffalo to the online gaming scene, highlighting the eagerness of both customers and their players to interact with it digitally.

As a result of their collaboration, the launch of Buffalo slot on BetMGM marks the initial offering from Anaxi to be hosted by the operator.
BetMGM Chief Revenue Officer Matt Prevost shared the company's pride in being the inaugural online platform with Buffalo. He highlighted BetMGM's eagerness to deliver the essence of Buffalo to players in U.S., Ontario and other states in the coming months, noting, "Anaxi has brilliantly encapsulated the dynamic aspects of Buffalo that fans love, now accessible for enjoyment anywhere, anytime".
Angus Nisbet, the Vice President of Gaming at BetMGM, commented on the launch: "The Buffalo slot has attracted a large fan base thanks to its impressive wildlife graphics and the iconic ‘Buffalo!’ chant that echoes through casino halls.
Anaxi has brilliantly transitioned this beloved game from the casino floor to the digital world. At BetMGM, we are excited to offer such significant titles like Buffalo to our players”.
This release is part of a strategic collaboration between BetMGM and Anaxi, first announced in February 2023, through which BetMGM has been delivering high-quality gaming content to its users.
Marking a milestone, BetMGM was the inaugural online platform worldwide to feature the Buffalo slot, initially launching it in Pennsylvania and subsequently in Michigan. Since its introduction, Buffalo has consistently secured a position among the top 10 most lucrative slots on BetMGM.
In a recent development, in January 2024, BetMGM formed a partnership with Charlotte Motor Speedway, paving the way for the introduction of its online sports betting service in North Carolina, pending the legalization of sports betting in the state.
Moreover, BetMGM has achieved significant recognition in the UK, with its sports betting and casino application climbing to the number one spot in the UK's Apple App Store.
