Buffalo King

Buffalo King is Pragmatic Play's original buffalo slot from 2020, the 6x4 game with 4,096 ways, not its later Megaways version. Animals and letters pay from the left, a rock wild lands on reels 2 to 6, and in free spins every wild carries 2x, 3x or 5x, multiplied together within a win. Six gold coins start 100 free spins. We logged 100 spins of the Buffalo King slot demo and bought the round once.

What is the Buffalo King slot about?

A wooden ranch frame holds the reels in front of a golden wheat field and a red barn. A signpost on the left carries the BUY FREE SPINS price, a banner above the reels rotates through the game's selling points, and a PRAGMATIC PLAY mark sits bottom left. In free spins the same field turns to night.

Symbols pay from reel 1 across adjacent reels, on any of 4,096 ways. The paytable runs in multiples of the bet: six buffaloes pay 7.5x, six eagles or cougars 6.25x and six wolves or moose 5x. A and K pay 3x for six, Q and J 2.5x and 10 and 9 2x, down to 0.25x for three Q, J, 10 or 9.

The wild is a canyon rock that lands only on reels 2 to 6 and stands in for everything except the gold BONUS coin. In the base game it carries no multiplier, so it simply joins ways.

Spin 25 of 100 at $0.80: J ways at $0.60 each, with the wild on reel 2, made $2.40, 3 times the bet. FluxPlays demo test, 19 October 2026.

Buffalo King bonus features

BONUS coins and free spins

The BONUS coin, a gold disc with a buffalo, lands on all six reels. Three in the base game award 8 free spins, four award 15, five award 25 and six award 100. The rules list no cash pay for the coins themselves.

Inside the round the bar for a retrigger is lower: two coins add 5 spins, three add 8, and four, five or six add 15, 25 or 100. The round runs on special reels.

Wild multipliers that multiply

Once free spins start, each wild arrives carrying 2x, 3x or 5x at random. A winning combination with one wild takes its multiplier; with several, the rules multiply them together, so a 2x and a 3x make 6x and two 5x wilds make 25x. With wilds possible on all five reels from 2 to 6, five 5x wilds on one way would make 3,125x.

The rules: two coins retrigger in free spins, and the wild multipliers in one win multiply each other. FluxPlays demo test, 19 October 2026.

Buy Free Spins at 75x

The round can be bought for 75x the total bet, $60 at our $0.80, below the 100x its Megaways sequel charges. The rules say it lands a random number of BONUS coins and a random number of starting spins, and they state no RTP for it beyond the game's single 96.06%. There is no ante bet and no bet mode.

Maximum win, RTP and bets

The intro screen and the banner above the reels read WIN UP TO 93,750 X BET. The three rules pages we read give no maximum win, so that figure is the game's own claim. The rules show a 96.06% RTP, bets from $0.40 to $60 and a MEDIUM VOLATILITY badge, where the review sites we checked call the game high.

What changed in Buffalo King Megaways

Buffalo King Megaways, which we also tested, keeps the animal cast, the rock wild and the 2x, 3x and 5x wilds that multiply each other. Its rules change nearly everything around them: up to 200,704 ways with tumbles, a wild on reels 2 to 5 only, and multipliers that apply to a whole tumble sequence rather than a single win.

Its free spins need four coins, which pay 5x to 100x and start 12 to 22 spins, and three coins add 5 more. The sequel adds an ante, charges 100x for its buy, raises the RTP to 96.52%, carries a HIGH badge and caps wins at 5,000x, against the 93,750x this game's intro claims.

Our Buffalo King demo test

The total bet here is always 40 coins, and the coin list has no value that makes $1.00. From the opening $2.00 the minus button steps to $1.60, $1.20 and $0.80, so we tested at $0.80 and give multiples of that bet. A script pressed the spin button for spins 2 to 100, one round at a time, without autoplay.

The bet steps from $2.00 to $1.60, $1.20 and $0.80, with no $1.00, so we tested at $0.80. FluxPlays demo test, 19 October 2026.

The base game paid often but small. 28 of the 100 spins won: 15 for less than the bet, 9 for 1x to 5x and only 4 for 5x or more. The longest losing run was 10 spins, from 26 to 35.

Spin 56 brought the best base result. Aces covered all six reels, with a wild on reel 6, for eight ways of six Aces at $2.40 each: $19.20, 24 times the bet.

Spin 56 of 100 at $0.80: eight ways of six Aces at $2.40 each paid $19.20, 24 times the bet. FluxPlays demo test, 19 October 2026.

Free spins came naturally on spin 78, with three coins for 8 spins. Free spin 4 paid $8.00 and free spin 5 $2.40, and the round ended at $10.40, 13 times the bet, with no retrigger.

In all the base game returned $57.40 from $80.00. Without spin 56 the other 99 spins returned $38.20, and without spin 78's free spins as well, $27.80.

The $60 buy landed coins on reels 1, 3 and 5, again for 8 spins. Six spins paid nothing and the seventh $0.80. With 2x and 3x wilds on screen, the last spin paid $28.80, 36 times the bet, so the round finished at $29.60, 37x, just under half its price.

Our $60 buy at $0.80: $29.60 from 8 free spins, 37 times the bet. FluxPlays demo test, 19 October 2026.

We never saw a retrigger, a 5x wild or more than three coins; those come from the rules.

The session in two parts:

• Base game: 100 spins at $0.80, spin 78's free spins included, $80.00 staked for $57.40 back
• Free Spins buy at 75x: $60.00 staked for $29.60 back

That is $140.00 in and $87.00 out, and the server balance closed at $99,947.00, as our log records. So few spins and one bought round cannot judge a 96.06% RTP or the medium badge.

Is Buffalo King worth trying?

The free spins are the reason to play. Wilds can land on five reels, each with up to 5x, and the rules multiply them within a win, so two or three on one way change a round; the last spin of our buy, with 2x and 3x wilds, paid 36x. Two coins retrigger, and six coins start 100 spins.

The rest is plainer. Base-game wilds carry no multiplier, so the base game lives on stacked symbols and small ways wins. The 96.06% RTP is below the sequel's 96.52%, the buy has no stated RTP, and the 93,750x headline appears on the intro, not in the rules we read.
