Buffalo Blitz II slot review
Buffalo Blitz II is Playtech’s 2020 return to the prairie — the 4,096-ways stampede refined rather than reinvented, its headline addition a genuinely useful one: a free-spins menu that lets you trade the number of spins against the strength of the multiplier wilds inside them. The original’s hundred-spin legend cast a long shadow, and the sequel’s designers read the assignment correctly — rather than chase a bigger number, they handed players the volatility dial, an addition that aged well as choice-driven bonuses became the industry’s favourite idea.
How Buffalo Blitz II plays
The herd returns across six reels and four rows — lynx, elk, bears and buffalo stacked deep — with matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left paying in any position across the fixed 4,096 ways. The sequel’s polish shows in the pacing and the art, but the bones are deliberately familiar: this is the original’s audience being served, not surprised.
The free-spins choice
Scatters open the menu the sequel was built for: configurations trading quantity against quality, from a long parade of spins with modest wild multipliers down to a short, savage set where the diamond wilds strike at up to 5x — and multiple multiplier wilds in one way-win still combine, so the compressed options carry real menace. The original’s legendary scaling survives alongside, with heavy scatter counts still unlocking marathon rounds for those who choose volume.
RTP, volatility and top wins
The commonly published RTP is just under 96%, with operator versions varying — the in-game information panel shows the live figure. Volatility now runs from medium to high depending on your menu choice — the sequel’s entire point — with the compressed multiplier rounds carrying the heaviest stampedes.
