Buffalo Blitz Slots
Embark on a spinning safari with a difference in Buffalo Blitz, a new slot machine by Playtech software. Far away from the plains of Africa and the jungles of South America, this wildlife themed game presents punters with some of the magnificent creatures of the Taigas of North America and Russia.
Another way in which this video slot is different from the norm is the fact that it offers 6 reels instead of the customer 5. What's more, the game features 4096 ways to win with the chance to win up to 100 free spins with wild multipliers worth 2x, 3x and 5x.
Enter the Taiga
Buffalo Blitz aims to take its players on a refreshing journey through the natural habitat of the far northern hemisphere. Admittedly, this might not be the most obvious place for some spectacular views, but it does make a nice chance from the popular safari style slot machines that are set in the African Serengeti or in tropical rainforests. Instead, this game takes players to colder climes to see some spectacular animal specimens, such as grizzly bears, wild moose, raccoons and lynx cats.
This slot machine presents its icons with some detailed and clear illustrations, capturing the various creatures in a fairly traditional way. Admittedly, this game might not appeal to players who are after some truly spectacular spinning action with 3D animations, but it is certainly nice enough to look at with its unique window on the natural world.
Loads of Ways to Pay
This slot machine plays a little bit differently to most. That is because this all-ways-win game has 6 reels, each with 4 symbols. Therefore, there is a whopping total of 4096 different ways for players to find a winning combination of symbols upon the reels. All that players have to do is find two or more of the same icons on adjacent reels from left to right. If that happens then a multiplier prize will be applied to the coin value, which can be anywhere between 0.01 credits and 5.00 credits.
A top multiplier value of 300x might not sound like the most rewarding jackpot in the world. However, players should remember that this slot machine will pay out relatively little wins on a frequent basis. What's more, the buffalo icon is stacked on the reels so there is every chance that it will hit multiple wins at once for larger prize totals.
Buffalo Bonus
Helping players to boost their betting balance are a couple of bonus symbols. First of all there is a wild icon – as shown by the glittering diamond symbol. This wild will appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, essentially substituting for all regular paying symbols to potentially complete line wins.
The only icon that cannot be replaced by the wild is the “Free Games” scatter. And, as you can probably guess, this scatter symbol will trigger a number of free spins whenever three or more appear on the reels in any position. The number of bonus spins that are won depends entirely on how many scatters show up on the screen:
- 3 Scatter Symbols = 8 Free games.
- 4 Scatter Symbols = 15 Free games.
- 5 Scatter Symbols = 25 Free games.
- 6 Scatter Symbols = 100 Free Games.
What's more, whenever the wild is brought into play during the free games, it will randomly multiply the wins that it makes by 2x, 3x or 5x. These free spins can be re-triggered again and again indefinitely, meaning that the bonus action never has to finish.
Refreshingly Cool Spins
Buffalo Blitz might not be as warm and inviting as some other slot machines that explore the beauties of nature, but this Playtech slot machine is sure warm up your betting balance with its promise of 100 free spins. Besides, this game is a refreshing way to discover a different side to our wonderful world; and you won't even need to step outside!
