Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win Slot Review

Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win - Game Overview

Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win is a Playson Hold and Win slot played on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. The studio has really settled into this niche, and this title feels like a confident follow up rather than an experiment. The theme sticks with classic American wilderness, full of powerful buffalo and other wildlife. The graphics are not original, yet the production values and artwork look very sharp on both desktop and mobile.

From the first spins I found the base game lively enough, even before features kicked in. There is a steady flow of line hits from stacked animal symbols and card ranks, which helps soften the high volatility. You get the usual mix of wilds, scatters and special icons, so fans of classic video slots will feel at home while still getting that Hold and Win excitement when the bonus triggers.

RTP, volatility and max win in Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win

Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win runs on a high volatility math model with a hit frequency of about 27.16%. The official RTP sits at 95.44%, which is a bit under the level I usually favour but still playable. Bets range from 0.20 to 100 per spin, and the slot advertises win potential around 5,000x to 10,468x your stake, depending on how you combine the jackpots and full screen outcomes.

Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win Symbols and Paytable

Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win uses a dynamic paytable with eight regular symbols. The low pays are J to A card ranks, each paying 2.5x stake for five of a kind, which is quite fair for a 20 line setup. High pays are themed animals, with the bear on top at 12.5x your bet for a full line. Mid tier beasts fill the gap with values from 5x to 10x.

Special symbols carry most of the excitement in Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win. Buffalo Wilds substitute and share the same payout as the bear, so a wild line also pays 12.5x. Free Spins scatters start the bonus game, while Bonus coins and Power symbols trigger Hold and Win. There are Collect and Mystery icons on the paytable as well, which help gather prizes or transform into extra specials during the feature.

Bonus features in Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win

Free spins in Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win trigger when three Free Spins symbols land in view. You get eight spins to start with, and retriggers are possible if more scatters appear. The main twist is the win multiplier tied to Buffalo Wilds. A partially visible wild adds plus one to the multiplier for that spin, while a fully visible wild adds plus two, so stacked buffalo can send wins climbing very quickly.

The Hold and Win bonus in Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win starts when at least six Bonus or Power symbols land together. The grid clears, and you move to a respin round with three spins that reset whenever a new coin, Power or Mystery symbol lands. Power icons award fixed jackpots from 5x to 5,000x your bet, and if you manage to fill all positions the feature total is doubled.

One neat touch that I enjoyed in Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win is how Bonus symbols behave in the base game and free spins. Any Bonus coin can randomly pull extra specials onto the reels, tipping a near miss into a Hold and Win trigger. Together with six fixed jackpots linked to different numbers of Power symbols, this keeps the feature game feeling loaded with tension and potential swings.

Gameplay and design in Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win

I rate the look and feel of Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win quite highly, even though the theme has been used many times. The animal artwork and background scenery create a strong North American vibe, and the reel animations are smooth without getting in the way of fast spins. Sound effects are punchy, so big hits during Hold and Win or wild multipliers in free spins carry real weight when they land.

Review summary of Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win

From a regular slot player’s point of view, Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win is a solid addition to the Playson Hold and Win line. It does not change the formula much, yet the mix of free spins multipliers and a complex Hold and Win round with six jackpots works well. High production values and strong animal symbols give the game enough character to stand on its own.

I would recommend Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win mainly to players who enjoy high volatility Hold and Win slots and do not mind a slightly lower RTP. The hit rate keeps things active, yet the biggest returns sit inside the feature games, so patience and budget control are needed. If you like building towards Power symbol jackpots, this title serves that itch very nicely.
