Buffalo King is a Pragmatic Play slot machine released in January 2020. The 6×4, North American wilderness game offers high volatility play and a 96.06% RTP, which with 4,096 winning ways, results in a decent amount of winnings compared to other slots with such variance.
My Take on Buffalo King
I’ve played this Pragmatic Play title many times before. Below, I share my expert opinion about its graphics and game mechanics.
Buffalo King — A Colourful Adventure
As soon as the slot game loads, the expansive world of the North American steppe opens up in front of you. The idea of expansiveness is reflected in the gentle ambient music, the 6x4 grid and the bright, colorful backdrop image.
The Gameplay — Watch the First Spin
Over the years, I’ve noticed that Buffalo King tends to give you a reward on the first spin. I’ve often received decent wins and, sometimes, I even triggered the free spins round on the first spin, getting out with $874 from 46 FS. Not too bad, from a $2 bet.
Overall, the high volatility allows for less frequent wins but they are bigger in size. The standout symbols are the Wild and the Bonus. The Wild serves a normal function in the base game, but I like its new role in the Free Spins round when it becomes a multiplier wild. The Bonus triggers the free spins rounds.
I think Buffalo King is one of the more generous slots when it comes to this, with the potential to award more than 100 FS (Landing six Bonus symbols). Even better, the free spins round is often re-triggered by just two Bonuses, which extends profitable play significantly.
Alternatives to Buffalo King
The high volatility of Buffalo King feels similar to what I’ve experienced in Buffalo King Megaways, another Pragmatic product but with more winning ways. If attractive graphics are what you are after, you can always try alternatives like Book of Dead or Wolf Gold.
