Buffalo King

Slot Features

How does it play

Pragmatic Play’s Buffalo King is a simple 6×4 slot featuring stacked symbols with the golden Buffaloes as the top symbol. The base game features wild symbols and with connecting symbols paying in any position there are 4,096 payways available (The rows multiplied 4*4*4*4*4*4).

Buffalo King can be played using the manual spin button or the space bar with autoplay available and a quick spin option that can be turned on. Turbo spins can be achieved by holding down the space bar so it’s possible to speed up landing a free spins bonus with a lot of spins.

Buffalo King Free Spins Bonus

The main feature of Buffalo King is the free spins bonus that is triggered by landing at least 3 of the golden bonus Buffalo symbols. The more bonus symbols you land the more free spins you will take into the bonus. As shown in the table below, landing all 6 scatters will give you a massive 100 free spin bonus that can also be retriggered for more spins.

Bonus Symbols	Starting Free Spins In The Bonus
3	8 free spins
4	15 free spins
5	25 free spins
6	100 free spins

Once you are in the free spins bonus it is very easy to land a retrigger as you only need a minimum of 2 bonus scatters for additional free spins to be rewarded. As you can see in the table below it is possible to get up to 100 free spins from retriggering the bonus.

Bonus Symbols	Additional Free Spins Rewarded
2	5 free spins
3	8 free spins
4	15 free spins
5	25 free spins
6	100 free spins

The key differential in the Buffalo King free spins bonus is the addition of multipliers to the wild symbol. It is possible to land a wild symbol on every reel except for the first. The wilds in the free spins bonus will always have a multiplier of either 2x, 3x, or 5x.

If you manage to land a win with numerous connecting multiplier wilds the wilds will be multiplied together and the win totalled by the overall multiplier. For example a win connecting a 2x and a 5x multiplier wild would be multiplied by 10x.

The wins you are looking for in the free spins bonus are to connect as many golden Buffaloes as possible with a multiplier wild. However it’s important to note the impact that having stacked symbols can have on the payouts.

In this first win you can see it goes all the way to reel 5 with a 5x multiplier. However the payout for this win on a $2 bet is only $250. This is because the Buffaloes connect as 2*1*2*5*1 for a total of 20 payways. This means you get 20 * $12.50 win for 5 Buffaloes.

However, the win below pays out $480 on a $2 dollar bet despite only going to reel 4 and having a 2x multiplier rather than a 5x multiplier. You get 3*2*4*2 for a total of 48 payways multiplied by the $10 win for 4 Buffaloes.

The Bonus Buy

The Buffalo King bonus buy can be purchased for 75x your base game bet. It is possible to land between 3 and 6 scatters on the trigger just like the base game so you could end up with up to 100 free spins.

The paytable and how can you win big

As described above winning big in Buffalo King is all about landing any of the 11 symbols available stacked across multiple reels to increase your payways. As you can see below there isn’t much difference between the various different premium symbols for 5 or 6 connecting symbols so landing any stacked will give you a good payout.

In the free spins bonus the multiplier wild really unlocks the big potential in this slot. It certainly seems easier to land stacked Buffalo symbols in the bonus game as well so you are much more likely to see a massive win.

The payouts in the screenshots below are based on a $2 base game bet.
