This slot again offers players the opportunity to win 100 free spins with multiplied winnings, however, the 5x multiplier wilds are also available during base gameplay, unlike its predecessor.

Buffalo Blitz II Features

First and foremost, players will want to keep an eye out for diamond wilds symbols, not only do these symbols act as wilds, substituting for any symbol (except scatters), but they can also immediately multiply wins by up either 2x, 3x or 5x. 

When players land three scatter symbols anywhere on the reels they'll immediately trigger 8 free spins with a total of 14,400 paylines unlocked. These paylines come into play thanks to the addition of two new game rows at the top of the reels, one four symbols long and one that is two symbols long.

If players land diamond wilds on the reels any winning paylines will automatically be multiplied by 2x, 3x or 5x. If they land more than one 'MORE FREE GAME' symbol on the reels... You guessed it! They'll win more free spins up to a total of 100! We found that this was triggered quite regularly during the bonus feature.

Buffalo Blitz II - Free Spins

Free Spins

Players can trigger an initial 8 free spins whenever they land 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels. By landing two or more 'MORE FREE GAMES' symbols players can repeatedly trigger more free spins up to a total of 100.

Buffalo Blitz II - Diamond Wilds

Diamond Wilds

If players land a diamond wild symbol anywhere on the reels it will not only substitute for any symbol (other than scatters) but it can also multiply wins by up to 5x their original value.

Buffalo Blitz II Review

Return to the Rocky Mountains for the second instalment of Buffalo Blitz in this epic 6-reel, 4,096 payline Playtech slot. This 2020 sequel can see players unlock a total of 14,400 ways to win with Ways Boost and trigger an incredible 100 free spins all from as little as 0.20 per spin!  

Design

Buffalo Blitz II is pretty similar to Buffalo Blitz in terms of design, and whilst we weren't that much of a fan of how the original 2016 game actually looked, this one actually gets some extra points as it retains a degree of old-school charm that you don't see in modern titles anymore. 

Again, just like the original title, the vibrant blue reels are set atop a backdrop that shows vast and open North American Plains with the famous Rocky Mountains sat behind them.

Low paying symbols are your standard card deck 9, 10, J, Q, K, A and your high paying symbols are all animals you might find out in the North American wild, a bear, moose, racoon, cougar and of course the buffalo! The special symbols see a diamond appear as a wild and text reading 'FREE GAMES WAYS BOOST' as the scatter symbol.

In terms of sound, an intense drum beat plays atop a dramatic orchestral score whilst the reels are spinning, it's nothing groundbreaking, but it does a job in keeping the tension high. When the bonus feature starts the music really does take it up a notch and a fast-paced, exciting gameshow style track begins playing. 

Gameplay

Buffalo Blitz II is identical to Buffalo Blitz in terms of how it's played. There's an action bar along the bottom of the game screen that plays host to all the game's buttons. On the far left-hand side of the game screen there's an info button that brings up the paytable and bonus feature details, alongside this there's a coin value that can be changed using - and + buttons (to change your stake anywhere between 0.20 and 100).

On the right-hand side of the action bar, players can set up to 100 automated spins by clicking the Autoplay button, or just simply spin the reels by clicking the big button that simply reads 'SPIN'.

Win Potential

Buffalo Blitz is a high volatility slot with an RTP that is just ever so slightly below average at 95.96%, but nothing to cause too much concern. This slot generously offers players the opportunity to win 10,000x their stake, just like its popular predecessor.

Our Verdict

Buffalo Blitz II is certainly not a poor game, that said nor is it exceptional. It's one of those middle-of-the-road online slots that's fun enough to play with good winning potential. There's not loads to differentiate it from the original, but the opportunity to unlock 14,400 ways to win is enough for us to recommend this title.
