Playson is one of those studios that have really found themselves in the Hold and Win niche, and we’re now getting to review yet another Hold and Win slot from them. It’s called Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win, it takes place on a classic playing field with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines.
Its volatility is high, and its hit frequency clocks in at 27.16%. The game’s overall max win is then huge at 10,468x your bet, and you can enjoy the action for many different stakes between 0.20 and 100 per spin. Unfortunately, the theoretical RTP of Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win is on the lower side of the spectrum, as it’s just 95.44%. That’s not awful, but it’s a fair bit below average.
There is a rather painterly quality to the visuals, which could have been executed by the great Bob Ross with their purple and azure-infused western landscape and beautifully rendered animals. As usual, the royals spoil the party, jarring really badly with the mood created by the softer, more eye-catching symbols.
The four greats of the American west are represented: the grizzly, cougar, eagle and wolf. Each presents a subtle and lifelike animation when it is part of a winning line; even better, the buffalo wild that appears as a stacked symbol is simply magnificent.
The soundtrack captures that western twang and immediately plunges you into the action with atmospheric drumbeats and Native American chants.
There is plenty of potential in this medium variance game with the pick of the wins coming from the streak respin hold and win feature.
