Buffalo King

Buffalo King is Pragmatic Play's love letter to the American wild, where buffalo herds stampede across the reels and one lucky spin can turn into an actual windfall. The slot has been around for a few years now, but it still holds its own when it comes to raw win potential.

Buffalo King ships in three payout tiers: 96.06%, 95.53% and 94.55%. The gap might look small on paper, but over thousands of spins it makes a real difference to how much lands back in your pocket.

How Buffalo King plays

The reels run on a 6 by 4 grid with no traditional paylines. Instead you get 4,096 ways to win, meaning matching symbols pay out as soon as they line up on adjacent reels starting from the left. It is a setup that lets even modest bets deliver a proper jolt when the stars align.

The visuals feel a touch dated next to Pragmatic Play's newer releases, but the atmosphere still works: rugged rock formations, an orange dusk sky and a soundtrack with a nice country twang. We like that the animals stack on the reels too, it adds extra punch whenever a win lands.

Symbols and paytable

Eleven symbols share the payouts here, six card ranks (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) and five animals (moose, wolf, cougar, eagle and of course the buffalo itself sitting on top).

A rock wall wild lands on reels 2 through 6 and substitutes for everything except the bonus scatter. That scatter is a golden buffalo coin, and it is the one symbol worth chasing above all else.

Free spins and multipliers, this is where it gets fun

Land 3, 4, 5 or 6 golden coins at once and you trigger free spins worth 8, 15, 25 or a whopping 100 spins right away. During free spins the wild gets a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x attached, and if several wilds land in the same win the multipliers combine. In the best possible scenario, and we do mean best possible, you land 5x on all six reels at once, resulting in a jaw dropping 3,125x multiplier.

Retriggers are also on the table. Just 2 fresh coins during free spins adds another 5 spins, while 3 to 6 coins award the same amount as the initial trigger. Stack it all up and you could theoretically walk away with 200 free spins in a single round, if luck is truly on your side.

Bet levels and max win

Buffalo King can be played from $0.40 up to $60 CAD per spin. The max win sits at a staggering 93,750 times your bet, which at the highest possible stake would theoretically pay out well over $5,600,000. The odds of ever hitting it are microscopic of course, but that dream scenario is exactly what makes high volatility slots like this one worth a spin.

If you start playing with $200 and bet $1 per spin, we can compare how many spins you get depending on the payout level.

At the highest level of 96.1%, you theoretically lose 3.9% of your bet per spin, which equals $0.04 per spin. That gives you approximately 5 128 spins before your budget runs out.

At a lower payout level of 94.5%, the theoretical loss is 5.5%, which is $0.06 per spin. That means you can spin approximately 3 636 times before the money runs out.

The difference is 1 492 spins between these levels – quite a significant difference when you think about it!

The studio behind Buffalo King

Pragmatic Play has been churning out hit after hit since 2015, and Buffalo King was one of the studio's first genuinely big wildlife themed successes. The concept has since been expanded into several sequels, solid proof that the formula of wild animals, huge multipliers and sky high volatility still works.

Similar slots

If you enjoy the prairie theme and the wild swings, Buffalo King Megaways takes the same concept and cranks up both the reels and the ways to win. Wolf Gold offers a similar animal lineup with progressive jackpots thrown in, and Great Rhino Megaways heads to the African savanna with the same kind of wild multipliers during free spins.
