Buffalo King Megaways

Buffalo King Megaways moves the wild prairie onto six reels with the Megaways mechanic: the height of each reel changes from spin to spin, and the number of ways to win reaches 200,704. This is the Megaways version of the classic Buffalo King, so instead of fixed paylines there is a variable grid and cascades. The stated figures are an RTP of 96.52%, high volatility and wins of up to 5000x the bet. Let's see what is inside.

How the slot pays

There are no lines in the usual sense: a win counts when matching symbols sit on adjacent reels from left to right, in any position. The number of ways depends on how many symbols landed on each reel in that spin, so one spin can give hundreds of combinations and another only a few.

Cascades

After every payout the winning symbols disappear, the remaining ones drop down, and new ones fall from above. As long as new combinations form, the chain continues, and one paid spin turns into a series of payouts. The wild replaces regular symbols and helps complete combinations but does not replace the scatter.

Free spins with multipliers

Free spins are triggered by scatters, and the more of them, the longer the round. The main difference between free spins and the base game is the wilds: here they come with x2, x3 or x5 multipliers, and if several of these wilds land on one winning way, their values add up. Extra scatters during the bonus add spins, so the round can run long. This is where payouts close to the 5000x maximum come together.

How it differs from the original

The regular Buffalo King plays on a fixed grid, while the Megaways version changes the shape of the grid every spin and adds cascades. Because of this, payouts are distributed differently, and comparing the figures of the two games directly makes no sense: they are different slots with a shared theme.

Who it suits

The slot is for those who love the unpredictability of Megaways and are ready to wait for free spins for the sake of multipliers. The base game can be long and quiet, so start with demo mode and decide in advance how much you are ready to spend per session.
