Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win

Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win continues Playson's prairie series, but it plays noticeably harder than the first part. The 5x3 grid and 20 lines remain, and a separate free spins round with a growing multiplier has joined the jackpot respins. According to the game card, the stated RTP is 95.44%, volatility is high and the max win is 10468x the bet. Let's look at what changed in the sequel and who it suits.

How the second part differs from the first

The original Buffalo Power: Hold and Win relied on one bonus, and according to our card it has medium volatility and a ceiling of around 1187x. In the second part the ceiling grew almost tenfold, the top jackpot in the respins rose to 5000x the bet, and there are now two bonuses. The price for this is clear: the quiet stretches between bonuses are longer here.

Hold and Win respins

Six or more bonus symbols trigger the familiar mechanic: symbols with values lock in place, the player gets three respins, and every new find resets the counter to three. Besides regular bonus symbols, the round features Power symbols, which lead to the biggest jackpots, and Mystery symbols, which raise the chance of collecting Power symbols. The game pays the top jackpot of 5000x the bet for six Power symbols. All jackpots are fixed and calculated from the bet; there is no shared pool.

Free spins with a multiplier

Three free spins symbols give eight free spins. In this round, every buffalo wild that lands on the reels increases the multiplier of the current spin, and a wild that is fully visible on a reel doubles the win. The multiplier can reach 11x, but it resets to 1x after every spin. Hold and Win respins can also be landed during free spins.

Who it suits

The sequel is built for players who calmly put up with long streaks without noticeable payouts for the sake of the bonuses. If you want a smoother game with the same theme, it is fairer to start with the first part. Before betting real money, open demo mode and decide in advance how much you are ready to spend per session.
