Savage Buffalo Spirit MEGAWAYS review
This is BGaming's Megaways take on its 2023 wildlife slot, with an extra horizontal reel added above the main grid. The buffalo is the star: as a wild it carries a x2 multiplier. The bonus is built on randomness, since both the number of free spins and the multiplier are drawn when it starts. The catalogue lists a 96.75% RTP and a Very high volatility label, but no max win.
Refills and the extra reel
After every spin, winning combinations are paid and the winning symbols disappear. The remaining symbols fall towards the bottom of the screen and new ones refill the space above them.
An extra horizontal reel sits on top of the standard reels. Unlike the main reels, it is filled with symbols from right to left. The studio says it adds winning ways and improves the chance of a win. The buffalo is the wild of the game, and whenever it lands as a wild it applies a x2 multiplier.
Free spins with a random draw
Three or more scatters trigger the round. Scatters can appear only on reels 2 to 6 and on the extra reel. The game then draws a random number of free spins between 5 and 15 and a random multiplier between x2 and x25. The multiplier applies to every win in the round.
Three or more scatters during the round draw another set of spins and a multiplier. The chain can continue until the winnings reach x6000 of the starting bet. At that point the free spins stop and everything won is paid out. The studio does not state the cap as a max win for the whole game, so we pass it on as BGaming's statement about the bonus round.
Chance x2
Can be bought in the main game. It raises the bet slightly and gives more chances to hit free spins. It is deactivated when Buy Bonus is active.
Buy Bonus
Starts a free spins round with a random number of spins and a random multiplier, for the price on the button. The price adjusts automatically when the bet changes. It is deactivated when Chance x2 is active.
RTP, volatility and cost
Savage Buffalo Spirit Megaways has one RTP on record, 96.75%, so the house edge is 3.25%. That is about $32.50 lost per $1,000 wagered. A 100-spin session costs on average $0.65 at a $0.20 bet, $3.25 at $1 and $16.25 at $5.
The catalogue labels the game Very high volatility and publishes no max win. Because the multiplier and spin count are both random, the bonus is the main place where results can differ widely from one round to the next.
The original and similar Megaways games
The non-Megaways Savage Buffalo Spirit from 2023 is listed at 97.1% RTP and Very high volatility. The Megaways version is slightly lower at 96.75%.
Similar Megaways titles in the list include Lady Wolf Moon MEGAWAYS (96.75%, 2022) and Dragon Queen MEGAWAYS (96.75%, 2025), which match its RTP exactly. Sweet Royale MEGAWAYS and Aztec Magic MEGAWAYS list 96.96%, while Book of Panda MEGAWAYS and Book of Cats MEGAWAYS list 97.07%. All are Very high.
Pros
- Extra top reel adds winning ways
- Free spin multipliers range from x2 to x25
- Retriggers possible until the round reaches x6000 of the bet
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Spin count and multiplier are random, so a round can start small
- No max win in our catalogue
- The non-Megaways original lists a higher RTP of 97.1%
Verdict
Savage Buffalo Spirit Megaways adds a top reel and a randomised free spins round to a wildlife theme. The 96.75% RTP is a fraction below the original's 97.1%, and the Very high volatility fits a bonus where both the spin count and the multiplier are drawn at random. It is paid entertainment with a 3.25% house edge, so check the free demo before you stake money.
