How Buffalo Rising Megaways plays
On the Megaways reels, the number of symbols each of the six reels shows changes from spin to spin, and so does the number of ways to win, up to 117,649. Card ranks from 9 to ace are the lower symbols, and the wildlife of the plains supplies the rest: a moose, a wolf, a bear and the buffalo. Every win is part of a cascade. The winning symbols disappear, new symbols fall into the gaps, and if that makes another win the process runs again, so one spin can pay several times over. Three symbols do something more. The mystery symbol, a landscape scene, changes into a paying symbol, the diamond is the scatter that leads to the free spins, and a golden buffalo wild substitutes for every symbol except the scatter, as the rules page in our lobby shows.
Buffalo Rising Megaways in our lobby on 11 November 2026, at £1 a spin: the game opens under the Bison Rising Megaways name, with 6 reels and an extra row of symbols above reels 2 to 5. The line under the game shows the elapsed time and your profit or loss, £0.00 here before any spin. UK rules require online slots to show time played and net position.

Buffalo Rising Megaways: 6 Megaways reels, up to 117,649 ways to win. The example spin has 17,640 ways.
Mystery symbols
Every mystery symbol in view turns into the same symbol, picked at random, so several mysteries spread across the reels become several copies of one symbol at once. That can link up ways that would otherwise have been broken. The one thing a mystery symbol never becomes is the diamond scatter, so it cannot help to start the free spins.
The rules page in our lobby: the landscape mystery symbol transforms into any symbol except the diamond scatter, four scatters win free spins and every extra scatter awards more. In the free spins the win multiplier increases after every reaction, and wilds substitute for every symbol except the scatter. Game and artwork © Blueprint Gaming.
Free spins and the unlimited multiplier
Four or more diamond scatters start the round, and before it begins you choose its shape: 15 free spins with the multiplier starting at x1, 10 starting at x5, or 5 starting at x10. The fourth option, the Mystery Choice, gives a random mix of spins and starting multiplier. Whatever you pick, the multiplier rises by one after every cascade in the round, with no upper limit. Take the 10-spin option: the first cascade lifts the multiplier from x5 to x6, the next to x7, and it keeps climbing for as long as cascades keep coming in the round.
Buffalo Rising Megaways compared with Wolf Legend Megaways and Buffalo King Megaways
Wolf Legend Megaways is another Blueprint Gaming Megaways game on the same 117,649 ways, but it reaches its free spins differently: three or more bonus symbols start the Golden Streak, in which the reels respin to build up the number of free spins, and a Golden Gamble can be used to play for extra streaks. Buffalo King Megaways is Pragmatic Play’s buffalo Megaways game. It has more ways, up to 200,704, and gives 12 to 22 free spins for four to six bonus symbols, with wilds that carry 2x, 3x or 5x multipliers instead of a rising round multiplier.
| Game | Studio | Ways | Route to the free spins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buffalo Rising Megaways | Blueprint Gaming | Up to 117,649 | 4 or more scatters, then a choice of 15, 10 or 5 spins or a Mystery Choice |
| Wolf Legend Megaways | Blueprint Gaming | Up to 117,649 | 3 or more bonus symbols start the Golden Streak respins, which set the number of free spins |
| Buffalo King Megaways | Pragmatic Play | Up to 200,704 | 4 to 6 bonus symbols give 12 to 22 free spins |

Frequently asked questions
Is Buffalo Rising Megaways the same as Bison Rising Megaways?
They share the same rules. Blueprint Gaming’s own site now lists Bison Rising Megaways with the Megaways reels, mystery symbol, four-scatter free spins choice and rising multiplier described here, and some game databases date it to the October 2018 launch of Buffalo Rising, while another treats it as a later reskin. Our lobby uses the name Buffalo Rising Megaways.
What is the Buffalo Bet in Buffalo Rising Megaways?
It is Blueprint’s buy-in to the free spins. Instead of waiting for four diamond scatters to land, you pay 100 times the stake and the round starts at once; Blueprint’s own site now lists the option as the Bison Bet. Check the game’s information panel to see whether the version you have opened offers it.
Does the Unlimited Win Multiplier apply in the base game?
No. Blueprint describes the Unlimited Win Multiplier as active during the free spins, where it grows with each cascade. In the base game, cascades still give a spin more than one chance to pay, but there is no multiplier rising alongside them.
