07 · Our verdict

A herd with a kick

Buffalo Blitz is one of Playtech’s best-known slots for a reason. The 4,096-ways grid is simple to read, buffalo stacks make the base game feel busy, and the free games — with stacking 2×, 3× and 5× diamond Wilds and up to 100 spins — can turn a quiet session around. Expect high volatility: it can stay silent for a long time.

From Playtech

Playtech is one of the oldest and biggest names in casino software, behind Age of the Gods, the Jackpot Giant series and Buffalo Blitz — a 4,096-ways favourite that later got a sequel.

IIA sequel too

The buffalo hits the plains

A shaggy buffalo has trotted off the reels and is crossing the prairie on four hooved legs. Tap the grass to send it somewhere, or start a diamond hunt.

Buffalo · 4 × 2-segment legsBest 000 · Steps 0000

Diamond hunt

Diamond Wilds and gold coins sparkle in the grass for a few seconds — tap one and the buffalo trots over: Wilds score 3, coins 1. Lightning strikes the plain and costs a leg; a water trough restores it. Lose three legs or run out of 60 seconds and the hunt is over.
