How To Play Buffalo King Megaways Mobile Slot
The Great Wild West gets a revamp with up to 200,704 ways to win, cascading reels and multipliers in this Buffalo King Megaways slot by Pragmatic Play.
We love how megaways slots work: you have 6 vertical reels giving up a changing row of symbols on each symbol and up to 117,649 ways to win. Add the horizontal reel at the top and you now have 200,704 ways to win.
Before you start, you are going to have to decide whether you want to use the ante bet or not. That’s an extra 25% on top of your bet, but it doubles your chances of catching the Buffalo King Megaways slot free spins.
Which, if you know anything about these mobile slot machines, you’ll know one thing: the big wins are always in the free spins with the multipliers.
A top win of 5,000x your bet and wild multipliers
The wilds can come at any time during the base game, but trigger the free spins with 4 scatters or more, and now the wild symbol will have multipliers of 2x, 3x or 5x.
Which isn’t quite as good as the Dragons Fire Megaways slot where the multipliers increases on every cascading win, but here the Buffalo King Megaways mobile slot multipliers do multiply each other.
So get a 2x, 3x and 5x wild on a winning payline, and you’ll get 30x multiplier in one swift win. Of course, it happens less often than you might think, but that top win is as good as in the excellent Book of Dead slot. And if it’s good enough for the book of dead…
Buffalo King Megaways slot numbers don’t add up
The problem, and the reason this Buffalo King Megaways slot review only gets 3 stars, is that when you start looking at all the numbers properly, something feels off.
How in other Superbet slots, the RTP of the game goes up for paying more. Here it goes from 96.52% to 96.5% RTP. The change is minimal, but if you can play at the higher RTP it won’t make much difference, it only hurts a little if you’re playing at the lower 94.51% RTP, so lowering even further is discouraging.
Then there’s the fact that if you do ante-bet, the max win changes to 4,000x your bet in the free spins. Which fine, is because you get the free spins more often, but honestly, at this point, it seems like they are just putting barriers up for the fun of it.
You can, of course, pick not to use the ante bet. The mechanics here are fun enough, the slot theme well done. Or you could play the What the Fox Megaways slot with a top win of 10,000x your bet, for no additional cost, an RTP of 95.66% and wild multipliers in the base game.
It’s really a no-brainer to us.
