After placing a R200 bet, a Playa Bets player in South Africa likely wasn’t expecting what followed. While optimism may have been there, a maximum win probably wasn’t something they anticipated.

And that’s exactly what they achieved, while playing the timeless Buffalo King Megaways slot game from Pragmatic Play. They landed the 5,000x maximum win from the game, which resulted in a phenomenal payout of R1,000,000.

That’s yet another millionaire made by the casino section of Playa Bets.

Buffalo King Megaways (Pragmatic Play) Mini Review

Buffalo King Megaways is a Pragmatic Play slot and an expanded Megaways adaptation of the original Buffalo King, which launched in 2019. It features six main reels along with a horizontal top reel and offers up to 200,704 possible ways to win.

The game’s main features include cascading tumbles, wild multipliers, and Free Spins triggered by four or more scatter symbols. Free Spins come in 12, 17, or 22 spins and use wild multipliers of x2, x3, or x5 that stack within a spin.

There is an optional ante bet and a feature buy that costs 100x the stake. The maximum win potential is 5,000x the stake, as seen in the recent win from Playa Bets South Africa.

The game is, of course, accessible at Playa Bets, where you can register an account and claim the current welcome package with the Playa Bets promo code “NEWBONUS”.

After spending his earlier years studying music technology while figuring out what he really wanted to do, things gradually fell into place for Jake and it was a combination of his love for sports and his A-level in English Language that pulled him through. Combining his linguistic capabilities with his passion for Southampton Football Club, he quickly mastered the art of writing letters of criticism to the club’s chairman. He now spends his weekdays (and often evenings) writing sportsbook and casino reviews so that you know where to wager on Saints’ next 0-9 defeat.
