Buffalo Blitz II Slot Review

Buffalo Blitz II - Theme and Design

When I loaded up Buffalo Blitz II it felt like stepping straight back onto the wide plains of North America. The reels sit over a windswept grass-covered steppe, mountains on the horizon and a fantastic sunset sky washing everything in purples and golds. The HUD has been tidied up, but the overall look stays faithful to the original, which still feels pleasant to the eye and has that special charm fans fell for.

The soundtrack is on spot as well, with epic music that ramps up when wins and features land, giving the whole thing a tense, mysterious edge rather than a sleepy prairie vibe. Symbol wise, nothing has really changed. You get colourful A to 9 royals on the low side, while premiums show raccoons, cougars, bears and deer, with the mighty buffalo as the top star, appearing stacked across all reels.

Buffalo Blitz II - Technical Info

Buffalo Blitz II runs on a 6 by 4 layout using the AllWays mechanic, starting with 4,096 ways to win. Any adjacent combo from the first reel pays, so you are not tied to fixed paylines. High paying symbols reward from just two of a kind, lows need at least three. The developer kept the same core math model as the first game, so players coming over will feel right at home.

Stakes range from 0.20 up to 250 per spin, which suits both cautious players and those who like to push things. The slot uses a high volatile math model with an RTP of 95.96 percent and maximum win potential of 10,000 times your stake. On max bet that means up to 2,500,000 in a single spin. You will not be showered with small wins, so patience and sensible bet sizing are key.

Buffalo Blitz II - Bonus Features

Feature wise, Buffalo Blitz II keeps things quite simple on paper, yet the mix works very well in practice. The heart of the game is still the free spins round, backed up by stacked buffalo symbols and upgraded multiplier wilds. The base game can feel rather uneventful for long stretches, but once the special symbols show up, the pace changes in a flash and the potential starts to show through.

The WaysBoost free games feature triggers when three to six scatter logos land anywhere. You get 8, 15, 25 or a huge 100 free spins for 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters. During the round, WaysBoost expands the grid to a 4-5-6-6-5-4 layout, taking the ways to win up to 14,400 while keeping the AllWays mechanic. Extra scatters can retrigger the feature, even 2 scatters awarding 5 extra spins.

The precious diamond wild plays a big role in Buffalo Blitz II. It appears on reels 2 to 6 in both base game and free spins, substituting for regular symbols. At any time a diamond can turn into a multiplier wild, carrying a 2x, 3x or 5x value. When more than one multiplier wild helps the same win, their values are added, so a couple of good diamonds with stacked buffaloes can be spectacular.

Buffalo Blitz II Symbols and Paytable

Buffalo Blitz II sticks with eleven regular symbols. On the low side, 10, 9 royals pay up to 1.6 times your bet for six of a kind, with Q and J climbing to 2 times, and A and K topping out at 2.4 times. Among the premiums, bears and deer pay up to 3 times, cougars and raccoons 4 times, while the mighty buffalo leads the herd with 6 times your stake for a full line. The logo acts as scatter and the diamond is a non-paying wild.

The '200' Spins Experience in Buffalo Blitz II

To get a feel for how Buffalo Blitz II behaves, we ran what turned into roughly 250 spins at 1 unit per spin using autoplay. The first 100 spins were extremely uneventful, with dead spins following each other and only a handful of modest wins, the best being around 12 times the bet thanks to a six of a kind and a couple of multiplier wilds. We finished that batch roughly 70 units down and still waiting for free spins.

The next hundred started with a 7.2 times win off a multiplier wild, then quickly drifted back into no-win territory, maybe nine blanks out of ten. A 12.8 times hit gave us a brief morale lift, but the bonus round still refused to land. Only after we were about 176 down did the free spins finally trigger, paying a poor 2.7 times overall. Three spins later, though, another free spins round appeared, this time with extra 25 spins and a massive 960 times hit from buffaloes and a multiplier wild, ending the session nearly 1,000 times up. It summed up just how extremely volatile this slot can be.

Buffalo Blitz II - Verdict

For me Buffalo Blitz II is a bit of a controversial one. On the positive side, it keeps the charming setting, stacked buffaloes, and now gives you upgraded multiplier wilds and the WaysBoost free spins with 14,400 ways. On the other hand, the base game can feel flat, with low hit frequency and few features to break the grind. If you enjoy high volatility and chase huge jackpots, though, this is still a very tempting choice.
