Buffalo Power Megaways Slot by Playson

Buffalo Power Megaways is more or less identical to the original version, but here you are presented with a slightly improved mathematical model and with 46,656 paylines. The basic game can only please you with Wild symbols, which have 2x multipliers in the bonus round. You can trigger the Hold & Win bonus round, which Playson uses in many titles. Here you can win the jackpot up to 2,000x the stake by collecting Power symbols.

RTP & Volatility

The increased 95.84%RTP is still a little low and the volatility is increased to medium-high, which is where the new version of Buffalo Power Hold and Win disappoints us.

Game Symbols

There are 2 Wild symbols in the game: Wild, which replaces all standard symbols, and Wild 2x, which doubles the winnings, in which it participates and appears only in Free spins. Such symbols pay up to 50x. The Bonus symbol activates the Bonus Round and pays up to 1x to 10x. The Power symbol activates the Jackpot game and pays up to 2,000x. 

Payouts of high-paying standard symbols: Bear - up to 20x, Puma - up to 15x, Eagle - up to 10x, and Owl - up to 5x. Low-paying symbols of playing card suits, such as Ace, King, Queen, and Jack pay up to 1x.

Bonus Rounds & Free Spins

Free Spins Feature

Launch free spins by landing at least 3 Scatters anywhere in 1 spin. You will receive 12, 17, 22, or 27 free spins when you land 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter on the grid. The Wild symbol will have a 2x multiplier during the feature.

Bonus Round

You need at least 6 Cash and Buffalo Power symbols to run the Hold & Spin feature. Trigger symbols become Sticky and you get 3 re-spins. During the feature, you will only see Cash and Power symbols on the board. By landing they will become Sticky and reset the re-spin counter to 3 again. You can win jackpots with golden Buffalo Power symbols. 

Jackpot

In the Hold & Spin feature, you will only see Cash and Power symbols on the grid. You can win jackpots by collecting golden Buffalo Power symbols. The first of these symbols are already present at the beginning of the feature, and you need at least 1 more and a maximum of 5 to hit the jackpot. Possible jackpot sizes: 2x, 5x, 150x, 500x or 2,000x.

The slot is very similar to the original Buffalo Power Hold and Win in all aspects, but here you can take advantage of up to 46,656 paylines. RTP and volatility have been slightly increased. This usually doesn't have much of an impact on the situation, but it does help sometimes. Is Buffalo Power Megaways better than the forgotten original slot? Definitely yes, but it is unlikely can compete with other games on the Megaways engine.
