The theme of Boulder Bucks is inspired by the cave people, men and women that hunted and foraged with primitive tools, which lived in caves and learned to make fire by experimenting.
There are other competitors in the slot industry which have this exact type of theme, and the most famous one would be the slot which is licensed after The Flintstones.
Boulder Bucks, though it doesn’t have a very specific focus, is still inspired by that same animation series. Symbols with cave people, dinosaurs and stone made poker cards are in place.
The mix of humans and dinosaurs doesn’t make much sense, since they were not contemporary, but The Flintstones did the same as this game.
Developer
Barcrest is a pretty famous developer of slot machines, but not when it comes to the online industry. They’ve been creating land based slots for casinos and pubs from UK for decades now, but in the online world they are still beginners.
They’ve been acquired a couple of times since they made the move to online, the last time being in 2011. They can create some interesting slot machines, but they don’t do very well graphics wise.
How To Play It
The betting options are arranged on the left side of the screen, while the buttons to spin the reels are on the right. You can change the stake per line, from $0.01 to $50, while the number of lines is kept at 10. The wagers that result are in the range of $0.10 to $500. On the right side of the screen, you will find the Paytable, Big Bet Spins, Spin and Auto Play.
The design is one of the weak points of Boulder Bucks. Many of the symbols which were used are appropriate for the theme, but the quality is quite low for the design. You have a couple of cave people, lots of stone made poker cards, dinosaurs and mammoths or saber tooth tigers.

Special Features
The game relies on wild symbols and on scatters, same as many other slot machines. The wild symbol’s logo seems to be made out of stone. This particular symbol can come in handy whenever you get winning combinations formed with its help, but first it needs to appear on a line together with matching regular symbols.
The Boulder Bucks logo is the symbol which you will get the free spins from. Having multiple scatters present on the reels will give you this feature, with 1 to 3 picks to make. The first type of free spins is the one which is based on the Mammoth. The Mammoth will be used as an expanding wild, and you will have 20 free spins during which to make as much money with its help as possible. You get wilds on the middle three reels.
Next, we have the ones with the Pterodactyl. This symbol is a side expanding wild, which turns the symbols on its left side into additional wilds. You have 10 free spins here. The wilds are present on the reels 2, 3 and 4.
The last option has 6 free spins for you, with Sabre Tooth Tiger wilds, which can expand and which become sticky when they make their appearance. The middle three reels can get the wild symbols.
The final feature is called Egg Hunt Pick Me. It triggers when three scattered Eggs are on the reels 2, 3 and 4. You can get free spins from it, or a cash prize.
Maximum Payouts
The game’s maximum payout is at 500x for wagers of less than $2 per line, or at 250x for those that are over $2 or which are offered by Big Bet Spins. You shouldn’t expect to win more than $12,500, even if you use the $500 bet.
Summary
The features of Boulder Bucks look particularly good, but I’m not satisfied with the payouts offered inside, or with the design quality.
