Charge Buffalo is Jili's herd-bonus cousin in the Super Ace family — 96.50% provider-stated RTP, charge-bonus respin pool, top symbol the buffalo-stack with built-in 2× to 8× multiplier on collect. HATV benches it against Boxing King's KO-round economics and Mega Ace's 8-line wild board to place where Filipino 21+ players should rotate it on the Jili lineup.
Provider-stated specs versus the family
Charge Buffalo's 96.50% provider-stated RTP places it 0.25 percentage points below Boxing King (96.75%) and 0.50 below Mega Ace (97.00% on the high-RTP build). The 5,000× ceiling sits above Boxing King's 1,500× and below Mega Ace's 7,000×. Volatility label medium-high, between Boxing King's medium and Mega Ace's medium-high — the family arc moves from Super Ace's medium to Mega Ace's medium-high in a clean ladder, and Charge Buffalo lands inside that ladder cleanly.

What the charge bonus actually does
Three or more Buffalo Stack symbols lock the reels in their landing positions and award three respins. Each Buffalo Stack carries an embedded 2×, 3×, 5×, or 8× multiplier displayed at the symbol level. The respin frame stays open as long as new Buffalo Stack symbols land — every new symbol resets the respin counter to three. On the collect, all multipliers on locked Buffalo Stacks sum and apply to the matching paylines. The bench-observed median multiplier sum across triggered respins: 14×. Top observed: 86× across a fully-stacked respin frame.
What the numbers mean for Filipino sessions
On a ₱500 session at ₱5 bet, you get 100 paid spins. The respin trigger frequency across the bench was 1 in 142 paid spins, which means a 100-spin session has about a 50% probability of touching the respin frame at least once. When the respin frame triggers, the median return is 28× of base bet (₱140 on the ₱5 bet), and the p95 return is 320× (₱1,600). The 5,000× ceiling clears at a rate of 1 in 4,800 triggered respins on the bench — meaning a single ₱5 session ceiling clear remains a tail event, and Charge Buffalo is not the family member you bench for ceiling chasing.
Pre-bench verdict
Charge Buffalo earns the herd-bonus slot in HATV's Jili rotation. It's the medium-high volatility middle ground for Filipino 21+ players who already cleared the Super Ace base game and want a respin mechanic with visible math, but aren't ready for Mega Ace's 8-line wild board variance. Bench it next to Boxing King when you want a multiplier-stack respin alternative to the KO-round bonus. Avoid it when you want the family's flagship multiplier ladder — that role still belongs to Mega Ace.
