Buffalo Blitz 2 Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

Playtech launched its Buffalo Blitz slot in 2016, and since then, sequels have been released, including Buffalo Blitz 2, designed by Origins, a smaller partner studio.

Buffalo Blitz 2, the sequel, as implied by its title, revolves around one of the most mesmerizing creatures that roam free across North America and takes you to the prairies where you meet other inhabitants of the region.

In the background, you’ll see the grass-covered steppe and the mountains way back, as the sun sets behind them.

If you’ve played the original, you’ll notice that not much has changed in the sequel in terms of graphics and symbol design.

You’ll find the low-paying A through 9 playing card Royals, the high-paying racoons, reindeer, cougars and bears, and the highest-paying buffalo, delivering up to 6x the stake for the top combo. The Wild is presented with a Diamond, and you also have Scatters, to be mentioned later.

When it comes to the technical part, the slot is played on a 6×4 grid, which allows for 4,096 ways to win.

Matching symbols pay when adjacent to each other on consecutive reels. However, thanks to the WaysBoost mechanics involved, the grid can expand, and the number of ways to win can increase, and we’ll cover that next.

For now, you should also know that the slot is highly volatile, with a tad below-average RTP of 95.96% and a max payout potential of 10,000x the stake. It can be played for bets that go from €0.20 to €250.

Game Features

You’ll find a few features in Buffalo Blitz 2, most of which will be familiar to you if you’ve played the original.

The WayBoost mechanics, which can expand the reels during the bonus round, is central to the game. To trigger the bonus, you’d need to land 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters anywhere on the grid, and for that, you’ll win 8, 15, 25 or 100 Free Spins!

Land more Scatters, and for 2 to 6 of them, you’ll get an extra 5 to 100 Free Spins, respectively! So, the opportunity of triggering up to 200 Free Spins is definitely a reason to try the slot!

Moreover, when the bonus round starts, the grid takes a 4-5-6-6-5-4 format and allows for 14,400 ways to win!

But, let’s not forget the Wilds. In addition to substituting for all regular symbols, Wilds trigger another feature, in both the base and bonus game.

Whenever a Wild lands, it may initiate a bolt of lightning that can strike the symbol and add a random multiplier value to it, of 2x, 3x or 5x! The Wild Multiplier will be applied to the wins you form with the Wild!
