About Buster's Bones
NetEnt frames Buster's Bones around a cast of cartoonish dogs loose in a sun-baked canyon, the kind of Wild West backdrop built for slapstick chase scenes rather than gunfights. A 6x6 grid pays on clusters rather than lines, so five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically anywhere on the grid form a win. Betting runs from 0.10 to 200 per spin.
Nine symbols fill the paytable: four playing-card suits printed onto wooden tiles make up the low end, and three dogs, distinguished by green, blue and purple colouring, sit at the top. Winning clusters clear from the board through an Avalanche mechanic: matched symbols disappear, the remaining and new symbols fall to fill the gaps, and another Avalanche follows immediately if the refill produces a further cluster.
A Buster special symbol and a separate bone special symbol work together to trigger the game's core feature. Once both are present on the grid, Buster travels across the reels collecting every bone symbol in view, turning each one into a wild that substitutes for any paying symbol. The values attached to the collected bones add up into a multiplier, which is applied whenever Buster himself takes part in a winning combination; both Buster and the multiplier reset once the spin finishes, though the sequence can fire again on a later spin through the Random Features mechanic, which can scatter bone symbols and the Buster character across the grid mid-spin.
Landing 2 Free Spins scatters together with a Buster symbol awards 8 free spins, moving the action into a saloon backdrop. Buster keeps collecting bones through the round to build a running multiplier that only resets when the bonus ends rather than after each spin, and landing 1 or 2 scatters during the round adds 1 or 3 extra spins respectively. Players who don't want to chase the trigger naturally can spend 60x the stake to buy straight into the free spins round.
The maximum win on Buster's Bones is 973x the stake, RTP options run at 96.07%, 94.04% or 88.01% depending on the setting selected, and volatility is rated medium/high.
