Release Timeline
Pragmatic Play releases Buffalo King Megaways, expanding the original Buffalo King into a six-reel Megaways format with up to 200,704 ways to win.
How Buffalo King Megaways Plays
The game runs on six vertical reels, each capable of showing between two and seven symbols per spin, plus a horizontal top reel positioned above reels two through five that feeds extra symbols into the grid. This variable reel height is what drives the Megaways count, which can swing from as few as 64 ways up to the advertised maximum of 200,704 ways on a single spin. Wins are read left to right, starting from reel one, with no right-to-left or all-ways-both-directions mechanic in play.
After a winning combination lands, the symbols involved are cleared from the grid and the remaining symbols drop to fill the gaps while new ones slide in from above and from the top reel. This tumble sequence re-evaluates the board for further wins, and it can chain repeatedly off a single paid spin before settling. Wilds appear only on the four middle reels and the top reel, substituting for every paying symbol except the golden buffalo bonus coin.
The free spins round is where the game's identity really shows. Landing four, five, or six bonus coins anywhere on the reels awards 12, 17, or 22 free spins respectively, along with an instant scatter payout. Inside the feature, every wild that lands carries a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x, and when several multiplier wilds appear within the same tumble chain, their values multiply together rather than simply add up, before resetting on the next spin.
Pragmatic Play's own game page does not publish an RTP figure directly; the commonly cited 96.52% default, along with a documented range down to roughly 96.49% depending on configuration and whether the Ante Bet is active, comes from independently verified technical breakdowns rather than the studio itself. It is worth checking the information panel at your chosen casino to confirm the exact setting running on your session.
Three or more bonus coins landing during the free spins feature retrigger five additional spins, and there is no published cap on how many times this can happen, which is a large part of why sessions can occasionally escalate quickly. Outside of that, base-game wins lean heavily on the buffalo symbol, the only regular symbol that pays from as little as two of a kind thanks to the Megaways structure.
This combination of wide ways counts, chained tumbles, and stacking free-spin multipliers puts Buffalo King Megaways firmly in high-volatility territory, with a hard 5,000x stake ceiling on any single win regardless of how the bonus unfolds.
Key Terms Explained
- Megaways
- A licensed mechanic where the number of symbols per reel changes each spin, altering the total number of ways to win from spin to spin.
- Tumble
- A cascade mechanic where winning symbols are removed and replaced by new ones falling into the same spin, allowing multiple wins per paid spin.
- Bonus coin
- The golden buffalo scatter symbol; landing four or more anywhere on the reels triggers the free spins feature and an instant payout.
- Wild multiplier
- A value of 2x, 3x, or 5x attached to wild symbols during free spins, which multiplies together with other multiplier wilds in the same tumble chain.
- Bonus buy
- A feature that lets a player pay a fixed multiple of their stake, 100x here, to enter the free spins round directly instead of triggering it naturally.
- Ways to win
- Winning combinations formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, rather than fixed paylines.

Buffalo King Megaways RTP
96.52%
The default RTP sits at 96.52%, with operator-configurable versions that can run slightly lower depending on the licensee and whether the Ante Bet is active. Confirm the exact figure in the paytable of the casino you play at, since it can vary by operator.
Volatility and Bankroll Impact
high
Buffalo King Megaways is built for high volatility. Base-game spins outside occasional buffalo hits tend to pay modestly, and free spins can be slow to trigger, so bankroll can erode steadily between bonus rounds. When the free spins feature does land, stacking wild multipliers and retriggers can push payouts up quickly, though every win is still bound by the 5,000x stake cap. Players comfortable with long flat stretches between larger hits will find this rhythm familiar; those who prefer frequent, smaller wins may find the pacing uneven.
Core Features
- Megaways engine delivering up to 200,704 ways to win across six tumbling reels.
- Cascading tumble wins that can chain multiple payouts from a single paid spin.
- Free spins triggered by 4 to 6 golden buffalo bonus coins, awarding 12 to 22 spins.
- Wild multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x that stack together during free spins.
- Retriggers add 5 extra free spins whenever 3 or more bonus coins land in the feature.
- Bonus buy option available at 100x stake to enter free spins directly.

How many free spins do I get from 6 bonus coins?
