Buffalo King Megaways Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Buffalo King Megaways Paytable

Pragmatic Play have revived one of their previous titles Buffalo King, and through a makeover via BTG’s Megaways™ engine, the brand new shiny Buffalo King Megaways™ is now available to play. With the theme in place we just need a location for the action to take place. So we’re transported to the canyons of America, where the reels are set upon a backdrop of a delicious looking red sky, whilst being dwarfed by enormous rock formations.

Focusing our attention over to the paytable, we can see that the lower value symbols are made up of the royal cards 10, J, Q, K, and Ace. The premium value symbols are comprised of the moose, wolf, puma, eagle, and buffalo, where a 6 of a kind win will pay 1.5x, 1.5x, 3.75x, 6.25x, and 20x respectively. Get extra help in creating wins through the wild symbol, this appears in the form of a giant rock and will substitute for all game symbols expect the scatter.

Playing Buffalo King Megaways™ can cost you from as little €0.20 a spin, up to a maximum of €125 a play. You’ll also have the ability to play an enhanced base game through the Ante Bet option that is located to the left of the reels. If you toggle this option on then your chances of triggering the feature will double, with this coming at a cost of an additional 25% on top of your normal stake.

Finally, if you in a location that still allows the bonus buy option, then you can get instant access to the free spin feature for the cost of 100x your stake.


Buffalo King Megaways Base Game

Buffalo King Megaways™ Includes The Cascading Reels Mechanic In Both The Base Game Free Spin Feature

The format of Buffalo King Megaways™ sees 6 reels in play. Reels 1 and 6 can contain up to 7 symbols, and reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 can contain up to 8 symbols. Through the Megaways™ engine this allows the slot to generate up to 200,704 paylines on any spin that takes place. That’s not all though, as you would probably expect there are some familiar features throughout the game for you to enjoy.

Tumble Feature

More commonly know as cascading reels, Buffalo King Megaways™ incorporates the Tumble Feature in to its gameplay. You will see this feature become active once a win has been created, and initially all winning symbols will be removed from the reels. New symbols will then tumble from above to possibly create more winning combos and potentially enhance your win total further. The cascades/tumbles will end once you have failed to make a new winning connection.


Buffalo King Megaways Free Spins

4 Or More Scatter Symbols Landing In View Will Trigger The Free Spins Feature On Buffalo King Megaways™
4 or more scatter symbols landing in view will trigger the free spins feature on Buffalo King Megaways™

The free spin feature is triggered on Buffalo King Megaways™ when 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols land in view, with this rewarding you with 12, 17, or 22 free spins respectively. The free spin bonus is slightly different from other Megaways™ Slots that you may have played, and this is because the standard win multiplier that is included in most Megaways™ titles has been replaced by the Tumble Multiplier instead.

So of course the next logical question is what is the tumble multiplier? Allow us to explain.

In the free spins the wild symbols can contain multiplier values of x2, x3, and x5. When these are involved in a win they will be added to the tumble multiplier pot located to the left hand side of the reels until that sequence of win reactions and cascades have ended. Once you fail to connect a new win, any unused multipliers on the reels will also be added to the pot, and the final total will be applied to your win.

A couple of points to take note of here, are that each multiplier value that is added to the pot will multiply the number that is already in there, so potentially you can build a high value if you get some luck on the reels. Additionally you need to note that this is not a progressive multiplier, so at the end of each spin its value will reset back to zero.

Last but not least, you can grab yourself some more free spins through 3 or more scatters appearing in view. This will award an extra 5 spins, with no limits in place on the number of re-triggers you can land.


Buffalo King Megaways Review Final Thoughts

After a series of Megaways™ titles that feature some huge maximum wins, Pragmatic Play have toned it down a little with their last few releases. All of the the high quality graphics and smooth gameplay remain in place on Buffalo King Megaways™, but by their standards 5,000x is just a drop in the ocean as the saying goes.

Of course it’s still an amount not to turn your nose up at, but with the potential of the Tumble Multiplier, it feels as though Pragmatic have missed a trick by not having a higher max win up for grabs. We still like this game though, and it has a bit of Sweet Bonanza feel to it, so we imagine it will still turn out to be a very popular game.
