Buffalo King Megaways

North American nature slots are as common as tumbleweed in Tombstone these days. But it was Pragmatic Play's 2019 release Buffalo King that more or less set the standard for the genre. And now it’s back with a great new makeover in the Buffalo King Megaways slot. 

This new game has the typical Megaway grid of 6 main reels landing between 2 and 7 symbols each and a horizontal 4-symbol reel. This can produce a massive 200,704 ways to win, a big step up from the 4,096 ways of the original game. The betting range is from 0.20 to 125.00 per spin. And the top potential win has been capped at 5,000x the total bet.  

The low-paying symbols are card ranks from 10-A. These have all had little crowns added to reflect the game's title, except for the 10, who remains a humble commoner. The most a player can win from these is 1x the bet for six aces on adjacent reels across the grid. 

The premium symbols are lifelike pictures of the animals of the Wild West; a cougar, wolf, moose, eagle and, of course, the buffalo. This last is the highest-paying regular symbol is the highest-paying symbol and awards a top prize of 20x the bet for matching six.

The Wild is a lone butte standing out against the skyline. This can only land on the middle four reels to help form winning combos by standing in for all other symbols. The Scatter is a coin with the image of a buffalo on it, and this is the most important symbol in the game, as you will see below. 

The Buffalo King Megaways features start with one that is almost standard on Megayaws slots at this stage. This is the tumbling, or cascading reels mechanism, which, If you don’t already know, explodes all the symbols involved off the reels after every win and allows the remaining and new symbols to tumble into the empty spaces. This happens after every win in the base game and the bonus round, and the reaction continues as long as new wins are formed.

The buffalo coin Scatter is one of the most valuable symbols in the game. First, it triggers the bonus round and awards 12, 17, or 22 Free Spins for 4, 5, or 6 anywhere in view. And it also gives amazing payouts of 4x, 20x, and 100x the total bet for the same. 

During the Free spins a win multiplier, though not the usual progressive type that increases after tumble wins like in many other Megaways slots. In this game, the Wilds land with a random multiplier of x2, x3, or x5 attached. If it helps form a win and trigger a tumble, this value is collected in the tumble metre. The multiplier of any other Wilds that land during successive tumbles is also added, and when the feature comes to an end, the total win amount is multiplied by the total multiplier amount in the metre. The metre resets between spins. +5 free spins are added to the remaining total whenever three bonus symbols land on one spin during the round.

Buffalo King Megaways is a fast, fun game with serious win potential. But the big prizes won't come along that often, so always set a loss limit before playing this and any other gambling game, and never bet more money than you can spare. And if you enjoy this, why not try some of Pragmatic's other games like Gold Rush, Great Rhino and Wild Wild Riches. Good Luck.
