Tips for playing Buffalo Blitz
- Buffalo Blitz has high volatility, so expect long dry spells between big wins.
- The Diamond Wild only multiplies wins in the free spins, so the round is where most of the value is.
- Six scatters give 100 free spins, but 3 scatters (8 spins) is the usual way in.
- The minimum bet is 0.40 because a spin costs 40 coins.
