Buffalo King Megaways Slots

Buffalo King Megaways is a video slot with a nature/adventure theme, released in April 2021. It offers punters an adrenaline-charged adventure, great additional features, and cascading wins that can be significant in size. This game is the supercharged follow-up to the popular original title Buffalo King, produced by solid online gaming innovators Pragmatic Play. They are well known for their award-winning and ever-growing portfolio of video slot games, which have been entertaining and captivating players' imaginations for years.

Gameplay

The main event in Buffalo King Megaways are the accumulating multiplying wilds and the scatters, which offer potential life-changing wins. This is a six-reel slot with 7 rows offering almost 200,000 ways to win with the Megaways mechanic. Playing a Megaways slot offers players a lot more opportunities to win. With the fun cascade feature, this means that each spin holds the chance to convert into multiple cash wins as winning combo symbols are removed and replaced with additional new symbols.

This game plays with high volatility with an RTP of 95.55%. This means that payouts are less often on average, but the chance to win bigger wins in a short time span is higher.

Betting and Autoplay

Players will see a wide range of betting options, from as little as $0.20 up to $125, accommodating the casual player in addition to adventurous high rollers. This slot has an autoplay option that can provide up to 1,000 automated spins. This helps players on a budget set comfortable betting limits or those who just want to sit back and relax.

Visuals and Audio

Players are introduced to an immense and rugged prairie in the vast and majestic North American wilderness, with rocky canyons either side of the transparent reels. The attention to detail in the visuals is impressive, along with a banjo-heavy soundtrack bringing classic Americana. Of course, there are a number of animals that inhabit this vast natural space: cougars, wolves, American eagles, the mighty buffalo, and moose. These all form the higher-paying symbols, 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.

Paytable

At Buffalo King Megaways, 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 1x to 20x their stake (from two to six) on the reels. The American eagle offers 0.75x to 6.25x, the cougar 0.5x to 3.75x, the moose 0.3x to 1.5x, and the playing cards between 0.1x up to 0.75x.

Megaways and Wilds

The first feature players will encounter is the Megaways mechanic. This changes the number of ways to win by modifying the number of rows on each reel, adding an extra reel above the main grid. This reel adds one row to reels 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 (represented by the canyon) can substitute for all other slot symbols except the scatters and can only land on the second, third, fourth, and fifth reels.

Tumbles Feature

The other common feature is the tumble/cascade mechanic. Every time a winning combination lands, it gets removed, the remaining symbols drop to the bottom of the reels, and new symbols are added randomly. This may result in multiple consecutive wins.

Free Spins

The scatters form another winning bonus feature at Buffalo King Megaways. 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 scatters offer a 5x stake payout plus 12 free spins; five offer 20x plus 17 free spins; and six give 22 free spins and a 100x payout.

Wild Multipliers

The excitement really amplifies with the wilds, which can have a multiplier 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. Landing three scatters during free spins rewards five extra free spins. With unlimited retriggers, wild multipliers are collected and combined during each set of tumbles, delivering truly big rewards.

Ante Bet

Although there is no feature buy option at Buffalo King Megaways, the Ante Bet feature provides a fast path to the bonus and free spins. It costs 25% extra per spin, doubling the chances of a scatter landing and triggering the free spins.
