Players are introduced to an immense and rugged prairie in the vast and majestic Northern American wilderness with rocky canyons either side of the transparent reels and the attention to detail in the visuals is impressive in addition to a banjo heavy soundtrack bringing in classic Americana. Of course there are a number of animals that inhabit this vast natural space with mountain lions, wolves, bald headed eagles, the mighty buffalo and elks. These all form the higher paying symbols in the game with the Buffalo paying out the maximum of 20x for five of a kind. Lastly, in classical fashion there are the lower paying symbols on playing cards from 10 to A.
At Buffalo King Megaways slot players will need three or more matching symbols on consecutive reels to win starting from the leftmost reel. The only exception is the buffalo which requires just two to trigger a winning combination offering players 1x to 20x their stake (from two to six) on the reels. The bald headed eagle offers 0.75x to 6.25x, the mountain lion 0.5x to 3.75x, the elk 0.3x to 1.5x and the playing cards between 0.1x up to 0.75x.
The first feature that players will encounter playing this slot are the megaways and this changes the number of ways to win by modifying the number of rows on each reel by adding an extra reel above the main grid. This reel adds one row to reels from 2 to 5 and on the main layout there can be anywhere from 2 to 7 symbols per reel. The four middle reels can have up to eight symbols.
The wild (which here is represented by the canyon) can substitute for all the other slot symbols except the scatters and this can only land on the second, third, fourth and fifth reels. The other common feature is the tumble/cascade mechanic and every time a winning combination lands it gets removed and the remaining symbols drop in to the bottom of the reels and new symbols are then added in randomly which may result in multiple and consecutive wins.
The scatters form another winning bonus feature at Buffalo King Megaways and this can be activated by landing four or more scatter symbols. The number of free spins depends on how many scatters triggered the bonus round. Four bonus symbol scatters offer a payout of 5x stake plus 12 free spins, five bonus symbols offer a payout of 20x stake plus 17 free spins and with six bonus symbols players get themselves 22 free spins and a payout of 100x their stake.
The excitement really amplifies with the wilds and these can have a multiplier applied of 2x, 3x or 5x in free spins. Wilds that are part of a win will have their multiplier added to a special tumble meter. If two or more wilds are involved in a win, their values will be multiplied. Multipliers are applied to the total win at the end of the spin. Finally, landing three scatters during the free spins rewards players with five extra free spins. With unlimited retriggers wild multipliers are collected and combined during each set of tumbles and this is where some truly big rewards can be delivered.
Players can take note that although there is no feature buy option at Buffalo King Megaways there is the Ante bet feature which ensures players are given a fast path to the bonus and free spins activation at a cost of 25% extra per spin/wager which doubles the chances of a scatter landing on the gaming grid and therefore triggering the free spins feature.
