Buffalo King Megaways Slot Review

Buffalo King Megaways Slot Overview

In this new casino slot from Pragmatic Play, we once again head out to the prairie among giant buffalos and other mighty animals. This game provider released the slot Buffalo King a while back, which quickly became a success among many and to then take the opportunity and add a Megaways mechanic to it felt right. Most of the things are similar to the predecessor in terms of the environment in which it takes place and the various symbols that one can take part in. Where you as a player get to take part in very exciting spins in the hunt for the big buffalos and GIGANTIC WINS.

In addition to its large presence, the buffalo symbolizes a lot for many people. Where it symbolizes security, strength and power, among other things. In this slot, it has also been given another thing that it can symbolize, namely wealth. In the previous version, Pragmatic Play said that the total maximum win could be 96750X the bet, but something that turned out to be almost impossible to get. This time they have set the maximum win at 5000X the bet, which is in line with most slots from them, like for example Wild Booster and Power of Thor Megaways.

Buffalo King Megaways is a video slot from Pragmatic Play that has 6 reels and 2 to 8 rows. This variation in the number of rows is due to the game's Megaways mechanic which enables a random number of rows per spin which thus also causes the number of paylines to vary with each spin, which is a typical characteristic of Megaways slots. In this slot, the number of paylines can be up to 200704. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.20 and a Max.bet of 125. Buffalo King Megaways has an RTP of 96.52% in the normal mode and if you use the game's Bonus Buy feature, the RTP slightly changes to 96.50%. It is a high volatility, and the lucky player can pick up a win of up to 5000X the bet.

Most things are the same within this slot, but since it is a sequel, there have of course been a number of upgrades regarding features. The features you can take part in are Wild Symbol, Tumble, Free Spins, Ante Bet and Bonus Buy. Let's find out what symbols you can expect to land on the reels.

Buffalo King Megaways Slot Information

The higher paying symbols consist of an eagle and the great buffalo. If you land 6 of this buffalo symbol, it gives 20X the bet. The game's wild symbol consists of a rock tower and has the text wild on it. The game's scatter symbol consists of a golden buffalo with the text Bonus on it. Let's find out what the different features do.

Buffalo King Megaways Slot Features

In this new mobile slot from Pragmatic Play you can win up to 5000X the bet. This will be possible to get with the help from the features Wild Symbol, Tumble, Free Spins, Ante Bet and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

This symbol helps to create more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols, the only symbol it does not substitute for is the scatter symbol. It can only land on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Tumble

When you spin the reels and get a winning combination, the Tumble feature is activated. Then all the symbols that were part of this winning combination will disappear from the reels and then new symbols will fall down to fill these empty positions. The Tumble feature continues as long as new winning combinations are created.

Free Spins

If you land 4 or more scatter symbols, the Free Spins feature is activated. Depending on how many you land determines how many free spins you get and the size of the direct payout. You get the following for the different ones:

6 Scatter symbols = You get 22 free spins and a direct payout of 100X the bet

5 Scatter symbols = You get 17 free spins and a direct payout of 20X the bet

4 Scatter symbols = You get 12 free spins and a direct payout of 5X the bet

You can also manage to get more free spins during the feature, whereby landing 3 or more scatter symbols you get 5 extra free spins. When you then start using these spins, all wilds that land will have a multiplier of either 2X, 3X or 5X. All multipliers included in the Tumbles that occur are multiplied with each other and when the Tumble feature is finished you will receive a total payout.

Ante Bet

You can increase your chances of activating the Free Spins feature by using the Ante Bet. You then pay 25% extra of your normal bet and then your chances will be doubled to succeed in activating the Free Spins. Even if your bet is higher, the symbols pay as if you had made a normal bet.

Buy Free Spins

If you want to go directly to the Free Spins feature, you can instead use the Buy Free Spins feature. You then pay 100X the bet and will randomly land 4, 5 or 6 scatters giving you 10, 17 and 22 free spins respectively.

Buffalo King Megaways Slot Conclusion

Even though new slots are constantly being created with Megaways mechanic, you can't really get enough. It really is a magical concept for the game providers to use and that Buffalo King now would get a follow-up version with this mechanic feels well deserved. Most things are the same during the spins, where the environment and symbols are the same as in the first version. They have increased the potential Max.bet which can be up to 125 now, which may have been coveted by the big betters out there. Since it is Megaways, the winning combinations created will activate the Tumble feature. The great thing about this Tumble feature is that within the Free Spins feature, all wilds land with a multiplier of either 2X, 3X or 5X, where all multipliers are multiplied with each other if several are included under the same Tumble feature. This can give a really big payout in the end.

The previous version, Buffalo King, had a potential max win of 96750X the bet, but the possibility of landing it was more or less impossible. They have now instead chosen to use their more typical maximum win of 5000X the bet, which feels much more credible to land. Even if you can manage to get many Free Spins at the beginning of the feature, you can also within it manage to get extra Free Spins and there is no limit on how many you can get which can be really festive.

It is a typical Megaways slots based on a winning concept from Pragmatic Play's previous version Buffalo King. There is something very harmonious about this prairie theme that really works well with its various features.
