Buffalo King Megaways pays on ways, not lines. Each of the six reels shows between two and seven symbols per spin, up to 200,704 ways on a full board, and a win needs the same symbol on adjacent reels from the left. After any win the paying symbols clear and new ones tumble into the gaps, so one R2 spin can pay two or three times before the board settles. The buffalo is the top symbol, and it stacks.
The wilds are the money. Every one lands with a 2x, 3x or 5x attached, and when two wilds sit in the same winning way their values multiply rather than add: 3x and 5x pays 15 times, three 5x wilds pay 125 times. On a tall board with many ways passing through a single reel, one 5x wild can turn a R6 win into R30 across several ways at once. On a short board the same wild has little to work with.
Four scatters anywhere start the free spins with 12 spins and a 5x scatter pay, five give 17 spins and 20x, six give 22 spins and 100x. Inside the round, three or more scatters add five spins every time and there is no limit, which is how the better rounds stretch past 40 spins. The 5,000x cap is reached through multiplier wilds stacking across tumbles in one long sequence, and it ends the round when it is hit.
The standard RTP is 96.52% and the volatility is high. Scorebet carries the Pragmatic Play catalogue, so the ante bet is there: 25% more per spin, R2.50 instead of R2, to double the scatter frequency. The bonus buy costs 100x the stake where it is offered, R200 at R2. Neither moves the RTP. They change how often the feature comes, and how fast the money leaves to get there.
What the features do
- Tumbling reels: a winning way clears off the grid and new symbols fall in, so one paid spin can produce several wins in a row
- Multiplier wilds: every wild carries a 2x, 3x or 5x, and wilds in the same win multiply each other rather than add
- Scatter pays on trigger: 4, 5 or 6 scatters pay 5x, 20x or 100x the stake on top of the free spins
- Unlimited retriggers: 3 or more scatters during the free spins add 5 more, with no ceiling on how often
- Ante bet: stake 25% more per spin to double the chance of landing the free spins
- Bonus buy: pay 100x the stake to go straight into the free spins where it is offered
Before you spin
- Treat each tumble as a fresh look at the wilds. A 5x that was on a dead reel can be in a paying way one tumble later, after the symbols above it drop down.
- The scatter pay at trigger is small next to the spins. Four scatters pay 5x, which a 12 spin round with one good wild will beat on its own.
- A R200 buy at R2 a spin is a 12 spin round most of the time. The retriggers are what make it pay, and they are not guaranteed.
- The ante bet changes R2 to R2.50 a spin. Over 200 base spins that is R100 extra, which is half a bonus buy.
Buffalo King Megaways questions
What is the RTP of Buffalo King Megaways?
96.52% on the standard version, with lower settings available to some operators. The ante bet and bonus buy do not change it.
What is the maximum win on Buffalo King Megaways?
5,000 times the stake. At R2 a spin that is R10,000, and the game stops the round the moment the cap is reached.
How do the wild multipliers work?
Each wild lands with a 2x, 3x or 5x. In one winning way the wilds multiply together, so 2x and 5x pays 10 times, and three 5x wilds pay 125 times. They apply across every way the wild is part of on that tumble.
How do you trigger the free spins?
Four, five or six scatters anywhere on the grid give 12, 17 or 22 spins plus a 5x, 20x or 100x scatter pay. During the round, three or more scatters add five spins with no limit on retriggers.
