Buffalo King Megaways is Pragmatic Play's licensed Megaways sequel to the popular Buffalo King, expanding the North American wildlife setting with the full Megaways engine — up to 200,704 ways to win across six reels with variable rows and a top feeder reel. Released in 2021, it implements the Megaways standard effectively while adding a free spins multiplier structure that distinguishes it from many competitors in the same format.

The base game uses the tumble mechanic, with winning symbols removed and replaced by new ones falling from above. Six wildlife symbols — buffalo, eagle, wolf, bison, cougar, and coyote — make up the high-value section of the pay table. The feeder reel above reels two through five provides an additional symbol position on each spin, contributing to the variable Megaways count.

Four or more gold coin scatters trigger the free spins. The default award is eight free spins, with additional scatters increasing this to twelve or fifteen. The key differentiator in Buffalo King Megaways is the progressive free spins multiplier: the multiplier begins at 1x and increases by 1x for each tumble win. Unlike some Megaways implementations, the multiplier does not reset between spins — it accumulates across the entire free spins round. A well-sustained free spins session with consistent tumble chains can push the multiplier to double figures before significant wins arrive, creating large cascading payouts.

The free spins can be purchased directly for 100 times the base stake where the feature buy is permitted, and the Ante Bet at 1.25x increases scatter frequency. The North American plains setting is executed with the natural colour palette and ambient audio that characterised the original Buffalo King.
