Playson documents a 5×3 grid, 20 lines, 8 Free Spins, stacked Wilds, Hold and Win, Power symbols, jackpots and a full-grid x2 bonus multiplier. 95.04% RTP and 25.38% hit rate are published reference figures from game databases/operator documentation; check the live build.
Hold and Win trigger
Six or more Bonus and/or Power symbols trigger the Hold and Win Bonus Game. Hold-and-win features normally begin with a limited number of respins that reset when new qualifying symbols land; the live paytable should be used for the exact reset rule and coin-value range.
Power symbols and jackpots
Power symbols contribute to the trigger and can unlock four jackpot tiers under the bonus rules. Jackpot labels do not necessarily mean a network progressive; in-game fixed jackpots are typically expressed as set bet multiples or fixed values.
Free Spins with x2 stacked Wild
Three or more Scatters award eight Free Spins, and the regular stacked Wild upgrades to a stacked x2 Wild. The x2 applies to line wins involving that wild according to the game rules, concentrating more upside in the bonus.
Full-grid multiplier
Filling the entire Hold and Win field with Bonus/Power symbols doubles the total bonus win. A full-grid condition is a rare terminal state, so it should be treated as a high-end feature outcome rather than a typical bonus expectation.
Where it sits in Playson's catalogue
Buffalo Power is therefore best compared with games sharing its Hold and Win bonus, stacked wilds, x2 free-spin wilds and four jackpot tiers structure rather than simply with games using the same theme.

Session takeaway
Buffalo Power should be approached as a rules-and-maths problem, not a pattern-prediction problem. Understand Hold and Win bonus, stacked wilds, x2 free-spin wilds and four jackpot tiers, verify the live RTP and maximum exposure, size the stake around a fixed entertainment budget, and treat every paid spin as an independent RNG wager except where the rules visibly carry a feature state forward.
