Slot Summary

The Buffalo Power sequel revisits Playson's Arizona setting with changes to both routes into feature play. Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win introduces Buffalo Extra Bonus and a Total Multiplier for free spins, giving the returning wildlife setting a practical distinction: bonus entry and the treatment of spin winnings both receive attention.

Features & Win Potential

Mystery symbols conceal their contribution until they transform into Bonus or Power symbols. That distinction matters because Bonus symbols carry cash values, while Power symbols contribute toward jackpot awards.

Filling every position during Hold and Win doubles the total bonus payout, including collected jackpot prizes. Completing the grid therefore changes the value of the whole round.

Free Spins Multiplier Scatter Symbol Wild Symbol Respins Wild Multipliers Bonus Game RTP range Bonus symbols Hold and Win Mystery symbol

Bonus & Free Spins

Hold and Win begins with three respins. Qualifying symbols remain in place, and each new arrival restores the counter, allowing the round to continue while additional symbols land.

Three scatters award eight free spins. Separately, Buffalo Extra Bonus can add Bonus, Power, or Mystery symbols in sufficient numbers to activate an enhanced Hold and Win round.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.44%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,468×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
