Symbols land on a 6x4 grid in a game with Animals and Western themes. Wins form from left to right on neighbouring positions, and the game counts 4096 ways to win. Three matching symbols are enough to pay, so a run of three from the left reel can win. The wheat-field and sunset background sets the scene before the first spin.
Wild and Scatter symbols each play a different part on the reels, and the Multiplier feature can lift a win. The game runs in two modes, the Base Game and Free Spins, each with its own rules. Look over the feature list before you set a stake.
On the reels, the Buy Free Spins option starts the bonus at once, costing 75 times the bet, or A$750 at A$10.

Each spin on the reels returns a share of the stake, measured per A$100 staked. Over time that is the average, but single sessions vary. The version we run is listed in the game rules.

Two modes
Most players worry they will miss a bonus round, so these rules set out both modes plainly.
The reels move into Free Spins, the second mode of this slot. Scatter, Wild, Multiplier and Free Spins are the features listed for Buffalo King, and the base game runs on a 6x4 grid with 4096 ways to win.
Base GameFree spins
Each spin starts on the 6x4 grid. A win needs matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels, and the game counts 4096 ways to win, so one spin can pay along many paths at once. The base game plays on a wheat-field and sunset background.

Play with confidence
Most players worry about losing track of their bet, so each step below answers that.
The reels wait until you set a bet between A$0.40 and A$60 on the base game grid. Each spin then costs that amount.
Matching symbols on adjacent reels pay when they run from the leftmost reel rightward. The 6x4 grid offers 4096 ways to win on each spin.
On the reels, Wild symbols stand in for paying symbols to complete a win. Scatter symbols start the bonus layer, and a Multiplier raises any win it helps form.
When Scatter symbols land on the reels, the Free Spins mode opens. The round runs in its own mode, apart from the base game grid.
Every spin on the reels takes the bet from your balance, so set your total before the first spin and stop when it is reached.
The reels land on a new random combination with every spin, and the bonus round can come on any spin. Nobody can say in advance when it will arrive. The RTP of 96.06 is a long-run average over very many spins, so the result of one session is random and can end above or below the amount you staked.
Every spin on the Buffalo King reels is paid under one RTP version. Which version runs in this lobby is shown only in the game rules, not on the reels or in the paytable. The same name covers other releases with different percentages, so read the rules before you compare two games.
Big line-ups on the reels can pay many times the bet, but the top payout is a ceiling that is reached very rarely. Players should treat it as the limit of the game, not as a target. Reaching it on any single session is not something anyone can plan for.

Play for realBuffalo King basics
After reading, you will know the bets, volatility and how this version differs from the series.
Buffalo King takes bets from A$0.40 to A$60 per spin, so each spin on the reels can cost very little or a lot. At the A$60 top bet, the highest possible win is A$5,625,000. This page uses A$0.40, A$2 and A$10 as examples.
The original Buffalo King has a 6x4 grid, 4,096 ways to win and a 96.06 percent RTP. Buffalo King Megaways returns 96.52 percent, with a top win of 5,000 times the bet. Untamed Megaways returns 96.02 percent, with a top win of 10,000 times the bet.
On a high volatility game, the reels can go quiet for stretches before a large win lands. Its maximum win is 93,750 times the bet, the largest multiple in this series. How often a bonus lands cannot be known in advance.
Buffalo King starts at A$0.40 per spin, so the first session can stay small. The paytable at that bet shows what each symbol pays, and the modes on this page set out the rules before you stake.
