Favorite Video Slot Bonus Round Topping our survey in this category is Buffalo Grand, and its bonus round that actually includes several great bonus events, including a bonus wheel that can lead to one of four progressive jackpots, a progressive multiplier from 2X to 10X, and unlimited free games with wild multipliers. Coming in second for video slot bonus rounds is Dancing Drums Prosperity from Light & Wonder. In this bonus, three or more Drum or Gold Drum symbols on adjacent reels award a free spin bonus. If the combination contains at least one Gold Drum, you’ll play the Growing Reels Free Spins round. In either case, you’ll have a choice of five feature options. The first four are different combinations of free spins, grid size and ways to win. The last option gives you a random number of spins and grid size.
