Buffalo King

Six reels and four rows make up Buffalo King's grid, and Pragmatic Play drops paylines altogether in favour of 4,096 ways to win — any matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from the first reel across pay out, regardless of position within the row. The backdrop is a sun-bleached desert scene of tumbleweed and rock formation under a wide sky, and the reels carry a rousing orchestral western score with each spin punctuated by the sound of hooves.

The paytable runs eleven symbols deep: six low-paying 9-to-A royals sit beneath five animal premiums — moose, wolf, cougar, eagle and buffalo, the last of which reaches 7.5 times the stake when six line up across a full payline. A rock-textured wild lands on reels two through six and substitutes for every symbol except the bonus icon.

Free spins in Buffalo King are unlocked by a golden buffalo bonus symbol that can land on any reel: three, four, five or six in the base game convert into 8, 15, 25 or 100 free spins in turn. The wild keeps its substitution role in the round but now carries a multiplier of x2, x3 or x5, and where more than one multiplier-carrying wild contributes to the same win, those multipliers are multiplied together rather than added — a mechanic that scales as high as 3,125 times on a single combination. Landing further bonus symbols during the round retriggers it: two, three, four, five or six add another 5, 8, 15, 25 or 100 spins.

Buffalo King runs a default RTP of 96.06%, with 95.53% and 94.55% available as alternate configurations, at High volatility. Stakes span 0.40 to 60 per spin, and the maximum win Pragmatic Play's maths model allows is 93,750 times the bet, reached when the reels combine a heavily stacked multiplier wild with a screen otherwise filled by the top symbol.
