Pragmatic Play enters 2020 in grand style! They designed their very first video slot this year in accordance with old but gold "Go big or go home!’’
Buffalo King is yet another video slot inspired by Northern American wildlife but at the same time, it is special in many ways.
It’s not the first time that this casino software developer has chosen one of the most oversaturated themes for its major ventures…
…probably wanting to prove their superiority in the industry.
However, other providers aren’t sitting still as we have witnessed some of the incredible releases at the very beginning of 2020...
…so the competition is fierce!
Announced as the video slot of exciting and diverse gameplay with an immersive setting and lucrative bonuses, the provider obviously has high expectations when it comes to this title?
Shall we check it out together?
Theme and Symbols
It should be already clear that there isn’t anything breathtaking when we are talking about the theme itself. The American wildlife has been an inspiration to providers for many years now and you will hardly find something that you haven’t seen before.
The classic prairie setting at the end of the day with fiery skies and tumbleweeds all over the place…
…is definitely something that we are encountering in every single American wildlife – themed slot.
The lowest paying symbols are differently colored royals (9-A), while moose, wolf, cougar and American eagle are the symbols of the higher value.
Of course,
The most lucrative of all the regular symbols is the buffalo and it will award 7.5x your bet for 6 of a kind landed.
The wild is represented by the canyon cliff and it acts as a standard substitute for all of the regular symbols except the scatter (the golden coin symbol with the buffalo on it). Also, it will appear only on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Although, it is an average-looking game, amazing stuff is yet to come!
Betting Options
Buffalo King features 4096 paylines that are fixed on a 6x4 grid. The minimum price that you’ll need to pay for one strike is set at 0.40 coins and it can go up to 60 coins if you decide to hit hard.
Moving to the game’s payouts. The maximum win of 93.750x the bet is definitely one of the biggest jackpots in the slot industry so far…
…and is the first main indicator of the title’s overall quality.
The game has high volatility and the RTP of 96.06% which is above average and we won’t complain about it.
UI wise, we have a standard Pragmatic Play setting with autospins and turbo option.
Features
The game’s sweet spot is the Free Spins feature. Land 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters and you will get 8, 15, 25 or 100 free spins respectively!
But wait, there’s more!
The same calculation method is used during the feature. Land 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters during the initial free spins and you will be awarded 5, 8, 15, 25 or 100 free spins!
Still, that’s not all!
During the Free Spins feature all wild symbols come with an x2, x3, x4 or x5 bet multiplier. With a combo of 5 wilds you can get up to 3125x the bet thanks to a combination of multipliers.
What a game, right?
Our Take
Buffalo King is certainly not the nicest video slot to look at, but…
...thanks to its amazing maximum win of 93.750x the bet, followed by the possibility to get 200 free spins and stacking multipliers, it will surely become one of the most popular titles of this year.
