Play Buffalo Blitz Live

A herd of buffalo will help you stampede your way to victory when you play Buffalo Blitz Live, the world's first ever live-hosted online slot. Launched by Playtech in 2020, Buffalo Blitz Live broke new ground in the iGaming industry by combining the mechanics of a traditional online slot with the social atmosphere of a live dealer studio.

Buffalo Blitz Live is the live casino version of the classic 2017 Playtech slot, Buffalo Blitz, featuring 4,096 ways to win across six reels. Unlike other live casino titles, the Buffalo Blitz Live slot is not based on any traditional casino table game. Instead, it brings one of Playtech's most popular slot brands into a live-hosted format, with a real presenter streaming in HD from the Playtech Live studio.

To start playing, open up the game and look at the info and pay table to make sure you understand everything. Once the game loads, you will see the live host streaming to you in HD, with the game grid filling the screen and looking the same as the standard Buffalo Blitz slot. The reels spin automatically every few seconds, sometimes activated by the live dealer.

Use the options at the bottom of the screen to select how many times you want to spin and what your stake amount per spin is. You can change these values as you go along. To trigger a win, symbols on the reels need to match on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel, and the amount you win is based on your bet per spin and the coin value.

When you play Buffalo Blitz Live in the live casino environment, you gamble alongside dozens or hundreds of other players. You can use the chat function to communicate with them and celebrate your wins together. There is also the option to play more than one live dealer game at a time and keep an eye on all of them on the same screen.

Buffalo Blitz Live streams in HD from Playtech’s studio, and the graphics make it seem like the live dealer is part of the game. If you’re familiar with the Original Buffalo Blitz slot, you’ll recognise both the dramatic soundtrack and the animal symbols, and, of course, there’s that distinctive bell sound effect whenever a free spins feature is triggered. 

The dealer will chat with you during play, and it’s not all just about the game - they’ll keep you entertained with stories and general chit-chat as you go along. 

The symbols in the Buffalo Blitz Live slot are all themed around North American wildlife, so look out for high-paying symbols like the buffalo, moose, mountain lion and bear. The lower-paying symbols take the form of numbers and letters from a standard deck of cards.

The wild symbol is a diamond, and it can substitute for any regular symbol on the reels (except the scatter) to help create winning combinations. The wild appears on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 only, never on the first reel. The coin value determines your payout, which is always calculated as your bet per spin divided by 40.

For example, if your spin value is £1, the coin value is 0.025, multiplied by the symbol's value to determine your payout. 

Here’s what the pay table for the game looks like: 

Free Spins Round 

Get three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger the free spins feature. The host will initiate the bonus round, and the number of free spins depends on how many scatters appear on the reels. Three scatters give you eight free spins, while six scatters give a maximum of 100 free spins. If the wild symbol appears during free spins, it will award a random multiplier of up to 5x. If several wilds appear on the same spin, the multipliers are added together. 

Stacked Buffalos 

Stacked buffalo symbols can appear anywhere on the reels to give you more chances to win.  

Chance to win up to 5,000x your stake 

The Buffalo Blitz Live slot has a fixed number of 4,096 ways to win on every spin. The maximum amount you can win on a single spin is 5,000x your bet amount. Unlike the original 2017 Buffalo Blitz slot which is rated high volatility, Playtech deliberately reduced the live version to low-to-medium volatility, designed to keep the community gameplay flowing and ensure players don't sit through long droughts between wins in a live-hosted format.

About Playtech's Industry-First Live Slot

The Buffalo Blitz Live slot has earned its place in iGaming history as the first ever live-hosted slot game in the regulated online casino market. Launched by Playtech Live in 2020, the title pioneered an entirely new category that combined the mechanics of a video slot with the social dynamics of a live dealer environment.

The choice of Buffalo Blitz as the inaugural live slot was strategic. The original Buffalo Blitz slot was released by Playtech in 2017 and became one of the studio's most popular ever titles, with its 4,096-ways-to-win 6-reel format and animated buffalo stampede already familiar to thousands of regular players across the regulated UK online casino market. Bringing such an established slot brand into the live format made the new category feel familiar from day one.

Following the success of Buffalo Blitz Live, Playtech has expanded the live slot category with subsequent releases including Age of the Gods God of Storms Live, which uses the same community-hosted slot format and adds Greek mythology themes. The live slot category remains relatively niche compared to traditional live roulette or live blackjack, but Buffalo Blitz Live's lasting popularity at talkSPORT BET Casino and other licensed UK operators has confirmed that the hybrid format has its place in the modern live casino lobby.

It does not take long to sign up for your talkSPORT BET account so that you can start playing the Buffalo Blitz Live slot and the rest of the live casino lobby. Here is a quick guide to follow:

1. Go to the talkSPORT BET homepage.

6. Remember to claim your welcome offer at this point.
7. Navigate to the live casino section and find the Buffalo Blitz Live slot.

Always make sure to visit the safer gambling section before you start playing for guidelines and tools to help you stay in control.
