Buffalo King Megaways

Buffalo King Megaways is a six reel Pragmatic Play pokie that takes the North American buffalo theme of the original Buffalo King and rebuilds it on the Megaways engine. Wide plains, buffalo, eagles and big cats fill the grid, and it suits Australian players who like a fast, high variance slot with a huge number of ways to win on every spin. You can try it in the free demo below without an account, and the online casinos listed on this page quote play in AUD.

How Buffalo King Megaways plays

The game runs on six reels with the Megaways mechanic, so the number of symbols on each reel changes from spin to spin and the ways to win change with them, reaching up to 200,704 ways when the grid fills out. Wins come from matching symbols on adjacent reels rather than fixed paylines, and every winning combination triggers a tumble, where the paying symbols drop away and new ones fall in to replace them. That can chain several wins from a single paid spin. Land enough bonus symbols and the free spins round begins, where wild multipliers keep building as the tumbles continue instead of resetting each time.

Buffalo King Megaways RTP, volatility and max win

The published RTP is 96.52%, sitting a little above the usual mark for online slots. This is a high volatility pokie, so the swings are large: quiet runs with small or no returns are part of the deal, and the bigger results tend to arrive in the free spins round when the multipliers stack. The maximum win is 5,000x your stake. High volatility rewards patience and a stake you can hold comfortably through the flatter stretches, since the game can go a long way between meaningful hits.

Playing Buffalo King Megaways in Australia

Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online pokies and casino games cannot be licensed for or advertised to Australian residents, so any real money casino offering this game operates under a licence held overseas rather than in Australia. Play is quoted in Australian dollars at the sites listed here. The free demo on this page needs no account and no deposit, so it is the simplest and lowest risk way to try Buffalo King Megaways and see whether its high variance style suits you before anything else.

Is Buffalo King Megaways worth playing?

If you enjoy Megaways slots and can handle the big swings that come with high volatility, Buffalo King Megaways is one of the more entertaining animal themed pokies out there, and its free spins round with the building multipliers genuinely changes the shape of a session. It will not suit players who prefer steady, low variance games, but the payout ceiling and the tumble driven action earn it a look. Set a budget you are happy to lose and treat any win as a bonus rather than something to count on. If gambling stops being fun, support is available through responsible gambling resources.
