Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win (Playson) – Review & Demo Play

Features of Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win Slot

I've put solid time into Buffalo Power 2 Hold and Win on its classic 5x3, 20 lines setup. It runs high volatility with a 27.16% hit rate, RTP at 95.44%, and a max win of 10,468x. Stakes range from £0.20 to £100 per spin, so I can scale sessions. The American wilderness theme is familiar, yet the cleaner look and compact grid feel tidy. Above the reels sit the six jackpot values, which keeps the prize ladder in view while I grind base game cycles.

The headline is the titular Hold and Win feature. Land 6+ Bonus and/or Power symbols to get 3 respins, resetting on every new special. Coin values add up, while Power symbols feed fixed jackpots. Yellow Mystery orbs sit until the end, then flip to Bonus, Power, or Wild-style specials. Fill all 15 spots and the total gets doubled. There's also a random Buffalo Extra Bonus that can toss in extra specials, and the Buffalo Wild substitutes and carries its own pays, matching the top animal symbol.

Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win Slot Free Spins

Three Scatters trigger 8 free spins in Buffalo Power 2 Hold and Win, and the mechanic is simple but punchy. Each spin has a win multiplier that rises if a Buffalo Wild lands: +1x when it's partially visible, +2x when it's fully visible. The multiplier resets on the next spin, so timing a decent setup matters. During base play or free spins, a landed Bonus symbol can randomly add enough specials to spark Hold and Win, which gives the round a nice crossover feel when momentum builds.

Symbols and Paytable in Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win

The dynamic paytable uses eight regulars split evenly. Lows are J, Q, K, A and they pay 2.5x for five of a kind. Highs are the animal set, with the bear on top paying 12.5x for a full line. I like that the ladder is clean and easy to map against bet size, so line hits contribute while I chase features. It's not cluttered with mini modifiers, which keeps the base game straightforward and lets the big swings come from the bonuses rather than scattered add-ons.

Specials drive the action. Buffalo Wilds substitute and also pay on their own, mirroring the bear's values. They appear stacked two high, which is why you'll often see them partially in view. Scatters unlock free spins. Bonus and Power symbols land with values for the Hold and Win grid, and the yellow Mystery orb holds position and unveils at the end, transforming into one of the other specials. This combination builds steady coin adds with genuine shots at jackpot ladders when the screen starts to fill.

Power symbols tie directly to the fixed jackpots shown above the reels. One Power is worth 5x, then it scales, with sets of five and six awarding 1,000x and 5,000x respectively. Collect them within the Hold and Win round while the respins keep refreshing. If you manage to fill every cell, the feature total is doubled, which is a proper nudge toward the 10,468x ceiling. That full board doesn't land often, yet the setup makes the chase readable and worth the occasional long grind.

Our opinion on Buffalo Power 2: Hold and Win

Buffalo Power 2 Hold and Win is a neat Hold and Win release with high production values, free spins that add multipliers, and a more involved bonus with six fixed jackpots. The max potential at 10,468x is punchy, though the 95.44% RTP sits on the low side. On a 15-symbol grid, pulling six specials can feel tough, and the Extra Bonus shows up rarely. Even so, the stacked Wilds and clear jackpot ladder kept me invested. Fans of this niche will feel right at home.
