Mancala Gaming launches Buffalo Goes Wild II slot with Hold & Earn and 3,000x max win

Mancala Gaming has launched Buffalo Goes Wild II, a remastered sequel to its 2023 title, on 6 October 2026. The new online slot runs on a 5x3 grid with 20 winning lines, a 95% RTP and a top payout of 3,000x the bet. Mancala says the game is available in 19 languages and across mobile, desktop and tablet devices.

What Buffalo Goes Wild II offers players

Buffalo Goes Wild II keeps the prairie theme of the original but retools the mechanics to increase retention and bonus engagement. The central gameplay uses Hold & Earn mechanics combined with special symbols that open access to bonus features. There are four fixed jackpots and a Buy Bonus option that grants immediate entry to the main events.

The base-game grid is a standard 5x3 layout with 20 paylines. Special symbols can trigger a Respins Bonus Game; when they do, players receive three respins. Each time a new special symbol lands the respin counter resets, and the sequence continues until the grid is full or the respins expire.

Hold & Earn mechanics and round modifiers

Hold & Earn is the engine behind the title’s retention strategy. When players collect activating coins during a spin, the colour of the coin determines the modifier applied in the respin sequence. Modifiers include multipliers, coin boosters and the opportunity to land one of the four fixed jackpots.

The Respins Bonus Game uses the stacked mechanics of Hold & Earn in the following way:

• Players trigger the Respins Bonus Game by landing the required Special symbols.

• The game begins with three respins.

• Every new Special symbol that lands resets the respin counter to three.

• The round continues until the grid is full or the respins run out.

This setup means a successful bonus round can extend considerably if symbols keep landing, while the colour-linked modifiers change the round’s payout profile.

Buy Bonus, jackpots and maximum win

Operators and players who prefer not to wait for base-game triggers can use the Buy Bonus feature to access the core bonus events instantly. The title contains four fixed jackpots available only within the bonus sequences; details of jackpot levels are set in the game configuration rather than in the player-facing summary.

Maximum theoretical return in a single spin is capped at 3,000x the bet, a figure Mancala lists as the title’s top payout. The game’s RTP is specified at 95%, and the slot presents both multiplicative and coin-boost mechanics via the Hold & Earn modifiers.

Availability, languages and platforms

Mancala Gaming has rolled Buffalo Goes Wild II out in 19 languages, and the supplier confirms the title is optimized for mobile, desktop and tablet. Players can access the game on Mancala’s site or at participating partner casinos. Operators interested in the title are directed to contact Mancala Gaming’s representatives by email for integration and commercial information.

For operators looking to list the game, Mancala presents Buffalo Goes Wild II as a cross-device offering that supports the common distribution channels used by modern operators. Platform-level requirements are typical for HTML5 slots and rely on the operator’s existing integration processes.

Commercial and operator implications

The sequel positions Mancala to capitalise on the brand recognition of the 2023 release while leaning on retention-focused mechanics that typically increase session length and bonus uptake. The Hold & Earn modifiers and a Respins Bonus Game that resets with each new symbol create variable-duration bonus rounds; that design usually increases volatility of engagement and can push average revenue per user depending on how operators price the Buy Bonus and set stake ranges.

Operators assessing the title will need to consider the 95% RTP and the declared 3,000x maximum win when setting product lineups and risk limits. Mancala has made the game available in multiple languages and on all major device types to simplify commercial rollouts across diverse markets.

Where to play and who to contact

Players can try Buffalo Goes Wild II on Mancala Gaming’s website or at partner casinos that carry the title. Operators and platform partners seeking commercial or technical details can contact Mancala Gaming’s representatives at [email protected].
