How to cite

Slot Summary

A six-reel format with as many as 200,704 ways turns the original Buffalo King concept into a broader Megaways follow-up. Pragmatic Play retained the North American wildlife setting, similar design, and soundtrack, but changed the structural identity through variable reel heights, cascading wins, and a progressive Free Spins multiplier. The result is a sequel defined more by format than by a new story.

How It Plays

The six-reel layout can expand to seven rows, changing the available ways from one spin to the next rather than holding a fixed line map.

Avalanche removes winning symbols and replaces them, allowing a paid round to continue while the variable Megaways arrangement supplies fresh combinations on the same wager.

Theme & Atmosphere

Animals, Nature, and Wild West themes return the series to North American plains and prairie imagery, with buffalo anchoring the wildlife hierarchy.

The American frontier setting remains close to the original Buffalo King, so the sequel's main change comes from format and features rather than a new location.

Wild West Nature Animals

Features & Win Potential

Colossal Reels and the variable Grid support up to 200704 ways, while Drops & Wins and Cascading keep successful rounds active after the first result.

Wild Multipliers add value during the feature sequence, and the high-volatility profile places more weight on combinations that develop across repeated symbol drops.

Bonus & Free Spins

Scatter Symbol results can lead into Free Spins, while Bonus Buy provides a direct alternative to waiting for that route during the base game.

Inside Free Spins, Wild Multipliers feed the progressive multiplier mechanic, making wild appearances matter beyond the individual combination that first includes them there.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.55%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
