Overview
Buffalo King is built around one feature. One source says the game centres almost entirely on the free spins, and another says that in the base game the wild has no multiplier. That makes the bonus the only route to the large numbers.
Reviewers like how the multipliers stack. When two or more multiplier wilds take part in the same win their values multiply together rather than add, so a few 5x wilds can build a very large win. The 93,750x cap is described as impressive, and one reviewer says it compensates for the slot’s heavy volatility.
How to play and stakes
The game is played on six reels and four rows with 4,096 ways to win. One source describes the wild as appearing on the middle reels only. Stakes are given as £0.40 to £60 by one source, and the same source says the cap is worth £5.6 million on a £60 stake. We did not find other stake ranges, so check the game information screen at your casino.
The sibling Megaways game uses wild animals as symbols, including buffaloes, eagles, cougars and wolves. We did not confirm the original’s full symbol list.
RTP and the versions you may meet
The standard RTP is 96.06%, which every source agrees on. One source says Pragmatic Play also offers versions of 95.53% and 94.55% that casinos may use. Operators can choose which version to run, so check the game information at your casino.
The RTP describes the long-run return across a very large number of spins and tells you little about a short session. One review notes that a typical Pragmatic Play return is around 96.5%, so this slot sits a little below the studio’s usual figure.
Volatility
Volatility is described in several ways. Most sources say high, one says very high, one says extremely high, and another lists medium in its information table while also citing a 5 out of 5 rating in its FAQ. We treat it as a very high-swing slot, because the biggest results depend on multiplier wilds lining up in the free spins.
If you prefer steady play, this is probably not the slot for you. If you want a long-shot with a huge ceiling, the volatility fits the design.
Max win and what it is worth in pounds
Most sources give the maximum win as 93,750x the stake. One source gives 93,570x, which looks like a typing error. Sources say the cap is reached when several multiplier wilds combine inside ways wins during heavily retriggered free spins, and one says it hinges on lining up a perfect set of wild multipliers.
In pounds, 93,750x is £37,500 on a 40p stake, £93,750 on a £1 stake and £468,750 on a £5 stake. That is simple multiplication, not a figure from the studio. The practical chance of reaching the cap is very small.
Free spins and multiplier wilds
Sources disagree on the free spins counts. One says 3 to 6 scatters award 8, 15, 25 or 100 free spins, another says you get 8 free spins and can retrigger with 2 scatters, and another says up to 100 spins with retriggers possible for a total of 200. Most agree that the total can reach 200 spins through retriggers.
During the free spins every wild carries a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x. When two or more multiplier wilds take part in a win, their values multiply. One source gives an example of three 5x wilds making 125x on that way, and others say five 5x wilds would make 3,125x. Those two statements differ about how many reels can hold wilds, so check the in-game rules.
Bonus buy
None of the sources we checked mentions a bonus buy for this version, so we do not say whether one exists. Availability can vary by casino and region, so check the game information screen.
Symbols and paytable
The sources mention a wild that substitutes for regular symbols in the base game, along with scatters that trigger the free spins. We have not given paytable values, because the sources we checked do not publish them in a form we could verify. The paytable inside the game is the reliable source for symbol payouts at your stake.
Hit frequency and win rate
No hit frequency, free spins frequency or max win probability was found in the sources we checked, so we do not give any.
The demo above is the best way to see how often the free spins arrive, although a short session will not tell you the long-run rate.
Is Buffalo King enjoyable? Our verdict
Buffalo King is a good pick for players who want a long-shot slot with a huge ceiling and a single, clear bonus. The multiplier wilds stack in a satisfying way and the 93,750x cap is far above most slots. The 96.06% RTP is a little below the studio’s usual, the volatility is very high, and the bonus does most of the work, so try the demo first.
For a different take on the same theme, see Buffalo King Megaways, which has a 5,000x cap. For another high-risk Pragmatic Play slot, try our Gems Bonanza review. Gambling should be fun and 18+ only. Set limits before you play.
