Wins start on the leftmost reel and continue to the right, so a combination needs matching symbols on neighbouring reels. Buffalo King plays on a 6x4 grid with 4096 ways to win, and three matching symbols are enough to pay. The theme mixes Animals and Western, with buffalo, bald eagle, cougar, wolf and moose among the symbols, alongside the card faces A, K, Q and J.
On the reels, Wild and Scatter symbols work alongside the Multiplier and Free Spins features. That mix sets Buffalo King apart from other Pragmatic Play titles. Two modes run the game: the Base Game, played on a wheat-field and sunset background, and the Free Spins mode. Both are worth knowing before the first spin, because each follows its own rules.

How to play
Read this before your first spin, when you want to know what each round involves.
The reels stay still until you set a bet from A$0.40 to A$60. The paytable shows prizes for an A$1 bet, so every payout scales with the bet you choose.
Symbols land on the 6x4 grid and wins form from left to right. Matching symbols next to each other, reel to reel, make a win across 4096 ways.
As the reels stop, watch for the Wild, Scatter and Multiplier features. They sit alongside Free Spins in the game's feature list.
The reels can move from the base game into Free Spins during a round. Free Spins is the second mode, so watch the screen as the round changes modes.
Each spin on the reels takes your chosen bet, from A$0.40 up to A$60. Set a budget before the first spin and stop there, whatever the reels show.
Three views of play
Many readers wonder what the grid and win screens look like before betting any money.
Demo round
Wondering whether the trial costs anything, or whether you need an account first?
Demo spins run on the 6x4 reels with no deposit and pay nothing in money. The real game needs an account and you must be 18 or older.
Play real moneyEach spin fills the 6x4 grid with symbols, and some landings open the bonus round. How often that happens is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. Wins count across 4096 ways, so a long run of small hits and a sudden swing are both possible.
On these reels, each spin returns 96.06 percent of the stake over a long run, while the series versions carry their own figures. Which RTP version runs on this site is shown only in the game rules, so read them before your first spin.
Matching symbols can line up left to right and build a large win, yet the maximum win is a ceiling that players reach very rarely. Treat it as the top of the paytable, not as a number to expect on any given spin.
You must be 18+ to play Buffalo King. For support, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose on Buffalo King before the first spin, and keep that amount as your limit for the session.
Choose your stopping point before the reels start turning, and keep to it even after a big win, because the next spin cannot be predicted.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you start, then check them against what you actually spend.
If Buffalo King stops being fun, step away for a break, and if the urge to keep spinning grows, self-exclude through BetStop.
