Buffalo Blitz II

Put on your hunting boots and engage in a long-awaited sequel of the popular slot from 2016 coming from the Playtech portfolio!

Travel back to the wide plains of North America and meet its residents once more. 

The game offers 4096 ways to win, that increase to 14,400 ways during the Free Games round. Besides, you will also benefit from wilds, scatters and multipliers that can help you earn up to 10,000x your total stake!

And What About The Theme & Symbols?

It seems that for the developers at Playtech, the king of the animals is Buffalo as they have decided one more time to include this mammal as the protagonist of their game!

When you load the game, you will be transported to the vast American plains for an encounter with the mighty mammal and its friends.

Behind the reels, you will see a grass-covered steppe with the mountains in the back, while the whole action is set in the sunset and is followed by a soundtrack that fits the theme and adds to the overall atmosphere perfectly.

On the reels, you will see the standard pack of A-9 royals, followed by different wild animals - cougars, raccoons, bears, deers and, of course, buffalos!

The Wild symbol is represented by a precious diamond that acts as a substitute for all the regular symbols except for the Free Spins special symbol. 

How Much Can We Bet?

This animal-themed arcade game takes place across 6 reels and 4 rows, offering 4096 bet ways.

But, before you travel to the wilderness, you need to set your bets and choose from the range that starts at 20p and goes up to £250, which makes this game suitable for all types of punters!

Though there is a Turbo mode option, strangely, the game doesn't offer an Autoplay function.

The title also comes with high volatility, but a slightly below-average RTP percentage of 95.96%.

Expectedly, the highest-rewarding symbol is the buffalo, paying up to 300x the stake for six of a kind, plus...

...buffalos are also stacked on all reels which can help generate bigger wins! 

Should We Take A Look At The Special Features?

If you have expected some improvement when it comes to special features, you won't see any, as Playtech decided to keep the initial feature pack as well. 

First to mention is the WaysBoost mechanic that can make the reels expand to 4-5-6-6-5-4 grid and offer 14,400 ways to win, however, that can happen during the Free Spins round only.

To trigger the above-mentioned feature, you need to land at least three logo symbols. When that occurs, you will get 8 spins for three scatters...

...but an amazing 100 if you get all six! 

Besides, should you land some more Scatters during the bonus round, you can retrigger the feature and get a certain number of additional spins!

Lastly, besides acting as a substitute, the Wild symbols can randomly appear on the reels carrying a multiplier value attached to them thanks to a Lightning Strike feature.

It can add a 2x, 3x, or 5x multiplier to the Wild, which will, in turn, be applied to all winning combos in which the Wild symbols were included. 

Should We Wrap It Up?

When the original slot was released back in 2016, it immediately gained great status and became one of the most popular games from Playtech, which is why it comes as no surprise that the developers decided to create a sequel and stick to the successful formula.

With that said, the new punters will surely be satisfied with the game, while the fans may be slightly disappointed with so much similarity to the original.
