On 20 June 2024 Pragmatic Play released Buffalo King Untamed Megaways, which it describes as the third title in its Buffalo King line. It follows the original of 2020 and the Megaways version of 2021, and it is the newest of the three games covered on this site. The setting is the same American prairie, now with eagles, mountain lions, wolves and other wildlife filling a larger grid.
What the release describes
- The grid is 6x7, and the number of ways to win goes as high as 86,436.
- Wild symbols can land only on reels two, three, four and five. Each one carries a random multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x.
- When several multiplier wilds sit in one winning combination, their values are multiplied by each other rather than added.
- Random modifiers can switch on at any moment. One guarantees at least 10,000 ways to win, another gives the full 86,436 ways, and a third drops 100 top-paying buffalo symbols onto the reels.
- Four, five or six scatters start the bonus with 10, 15 or 20 free spins.
- In the bonus, every win that includes a wild raises the multiplier of wilds that arrive later by 1x.
- Three or more scatters during the round award extra spins. The game page puts the extra amount between five and 20.
- The game page lists an RTP of 96.02%.
How the provider frames it
The announcement stresses that the Megaways mechanic is joined by random modifiers, free spins and wild multipliers that keep growing. The company's chief operating officer is quoted as saying the studio is back on the prairies for this third entry; we do not reproduce her wording. The company also stated that it was producing up to eight online slots a month at the time.
Why it matters for a player
This game changes how multipliers behave compared with its two predecessors. Because wild values multiply together and also climb during the bonus, the top end of a round can be far above an ordinary win, but the pages give no figure for how often that happens. The 86,436 ways figure is a ceiling that appears only when the grid and a modifier line up, so it should not be read as a typical count. The 96.02% return is a long-run average over very many spins and says nothing certain about a short session. Try the free demo first, watch how the wild multipliers climb, and decide on a spending limit before real money is involved. The full facts are on our Buffalo King Untamed Megaways page.
