6 x Buffalo wild = x70
5 x Buffalo wild = x14
4 x Buffalo wild = x2.80

During free spins, the buffalo wild x2 comes into play. This symbol will instantly double the win of all combinations that it is part of.

Our Verdict: Buffalo Power Megaways Review

Yes, adding the Megaways feature is Playson’s way of injecting a new lease of life into one of its older games, but we can’t deny that the results are good. If you liked the original slot, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s essentially the same game, just with the added 46,656 win ways. This will either be appealing or not depending on your perspective, but it’s nice to have the option to re-visit this classic.

If you aren’t quite ready to leave this theme behind but you do want to try your hand at a slightly different game, we think you might like the Buffalo Rising Megaways slot from Blueprint Gaming. This medium volatility slot game has a 96.50% RTP, 117,649 paylines, increasing win multipliers, and a x10,000 top win.
