Booming Games Launches Booming Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 2 With 12,000x Max Win

Booming Games launched Booming Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 2 on 12 November 2026, a 5×3 slot with four-grid respins, three jackpots and a 12,000x maximum win.

The release continues the studio's Booming Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme line. The buffalo, eagle, cougar and wolf symbols from the series return, and the new title adds a larger bonus structure built around expanding grids and Power Coins. Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, described it as a "supercharged slot sequel" in the launch announcement.

Booming Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 2: key specifications

The base game is a 5×3 slot with 20 paylines and medium/high volatility. The top prize is 12,000x the bet.

According to SlotCocktail, the slot has a 96.1% RTP (return to player), a bet range of €0.20 to €40 and a Buy Bonus priced at 100x the bet.

How the Hold and Win feature works

Landing six or more coin symbols anywhere on the grid starts the Hold and Win feature. Players receive three initial respins, and the grid is divided into four reel sets. Coins stay held on the reels, and the respin counter resets each time new coins land.

The four sections do not all start open. Further sections become active when the coin count reaches 3, 12 and 21, which gives the feature room to grow from one grid to four.

Power Coins

Power Coins carry one of four effects:

• They open the next section of the grid.
• They double all coin values in the same grid.
• They gather coins into a single mega multiplier.
• They grant an extra life of three full respins when no coins arrive.

The mix means a single Power Coin can either expand the playing area or raise the value of coins already held.

Jackpots

Mini, Major and Grand prizes can land as jackpot coins during the feature. The Grand can also be won by filling all four grids, and in that case it is added on top of the combined multipliers. Asling pointed to the 12,000x ceiling and "three local jackpots" as the headline figures.

Boost+, Buy Bonus and the Buffalo Bonus Wheel

Three additional mechanics sit around the main feature:

• Boost+ makes the Hold and Win feature easier to trigger.
• Buy Bonus lets players enter the feature directly instead of waiting for the coin trigger.
• Buffalo Bonus Wheel can start randomly in the base game when a single coin lands. The wheel either multiplies the coins on the reels and pays them instantly, or awards one of the three jackpots.

The wheel gives the base game a prize path that does not depend on the full respin sequence.

Where it sits in the series and the market

The title follows Booming Games' earlier Extreme releases. EE Gaming covered the launch of Booming Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme 25,000 on 2 July 2026, and the studio has continued to develop the line with different maximum-win levels. Extreme 2 sets its ceiling at 12,000x.

Hold and Win remains a crowded mechanic among suppliers. Heaven of 7 recently released Kitsune's Fortune, a Japanese-folklore Hold and Win slot with a 5,000x max win, while the buffalo theme has a long history in the sector, including Aristocrat's Buffalo Gold Max Power online. Booming Games has used the coin-collect format before in Sky Pearls: Hold & Win and has also released the Classic Coins slot.

For operators, the release adds another buffalo-themed title with a buy feature and a three-tier jackpot structure to the studio's catalog. Booming Games' wider regulatory standing, including its certification in Brazil to supply licensed content, determines where its content can be offered, though the launch announcement did not list markets or operator partners for this title.
