Buffalo Blitz slot

Buffalo Blitz slot: a quick look

Buffalo Blitz is a straightforward ways-to-win game with one clear goal: land scatters for free spins, ideally lots of them. The base game relies on stacked buffalo symbols filling reels, and the diamond wilds help connect them across the six reels.

Playtech, the developer, was founded in 1999 in Tartu, Estonia, by Teddy Sagi, has its headquarters in Douglas on the Isle of Man and is listed on the London Stock Exchange. It is best known for the Age of the Gods jackpot games and its live casino studios; our Playtech slots page has the wider catalogue. For every review we publish, start at our slots hub.

How the features work in Buffalo Blitz

Ways to win, stacked buffalo and diamond wilds

Wins pay for matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left, with four positions per reel, which gives 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 4,096 ways. Buffalo symbols are stacked, so they can fill several positions on a reel at once. Diamond wilds appear on reels 2 to 6 and substitute to help complete wins; they don’t land on the first reel.

The free spins ladder

Scatters trigger the free spins, and the number you land sets the award. The jump from five scatters to six is the dramatic one: from 25 spins to 100.

Random multipliers and extra spins

During the free spins, any win that includes a wild gets a random multiplier. Further scatters landing in the round add more spins, so a round can run well beyond its starting count. The multiplier range and the extra spins per scatter are set out in the game’s help screen rather than in the specification we use.

Buffalo Blitz RTP: 95.96% or 94.01%?

Buffalo Blitz exists in at least two RTP versions, and the operator chooses which one its app runs. The difference looks small on paper, but it changes what the game costs.

At 95.96% the house edge is 4.04%; at 94.01% it is 5.99%. Over £100 of stakes, that is £4.04 against £5.99 on average, so the lower version costs £1.95 more for exactly the same play, roughly 48% more.

The hour column assumes wins keep the balance going, which on a high-volatility game is far from certain: at £1, £20 covers only 20 paid spins. The point of the table is the gap between the two right-hand columns. Before you play, find out which version you’re on.

1. Open Buffalo Blitz in your app without spinning.
2. Tap the help, menu or “i” icon to open the game rules.
3. Look for “return to player”, “RTP” or “theoretical return”.
4. If it says 94.01%, decide whether you’re happy with the higher cost.
5. If you prefer the 95.96% version, check the same game’s rules in another licensed app.

The Gambling Commission’s RTS 3 rules on game information (opens in a new tab) require operators to give you information about your likelihood of winning, which is why the figure should be in the rules. Our guide to finding a game’s RTP in an app walks through the same check for any game.

Buffalo Blitz on mobile casino apps

If the operator lists it, Buffalo Blitz runs in the app’s game window on iPhone and Android like any other slot. Six reels with four rows is wider than a classic 5×3, and its published specification doesn’t say whether there’s a portrait layout, so landscape may be easier on a phone.

• Search the lobby for the exact name; Buffalo Blitz II is a separate game.
• Check the RTP in the help screen before choosing a stake.
• Use a stake that gives a high-volatility game enough spins to reach the bonus.
• Turn the phone sideways if the 6×4 grid looks small.

Reel slots use little data compared with live casino. If your app is slow to load games, our guide to fixing a casino app that won’t open has practical checks.

UK slot rules that apply to Buffalo Blitz

Every UK-licensed app has to run Buffalo Blitz under the same British rules.

The stake limits are explained in the Commission’s online slots stake limit guidance (opens in a new tab). Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players, so the scatters are the only way into free spins. Our game design rules and RTP information rules pages cover the rest.

Buffalo Blitz vs other buffalo and rhino slots

Animal-stampede slots are a genre of their own. Here is how Buffalo Blitz compares with the ones we review.

Buffalo King uses the same 6×4, 4,096-ways shape with multiplier wilds in free spins, so it is the closest like-for-like comparison. The Megaways games trade a fixed grid for changing reel heights and far more ways.
