The Bison Bonanza slot is played on a 6×5 grid and uses a Scatter Pays mechanic. To land a winning combination, you need 8 or more matching symbols anywhere in view. It works differently to grid slots where you need matching symbols appearing adjacent to one another. The way pays are awarded is identical to that seen in Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza.
Bet options range from €0.20 to €10 a spin. Click on the ‘Dollar Bill’ icon which brings up all available stakes on a separate page. Outside the Ireland, you will find an Autoplay function (located below the main ‘Spin’ button) which allows up to 100 autospins with session loss and single win limits.
Bison Bonanza is a big beefy game, running highly volatile as it powers its way to a return value of 96.5%. Players can select base bets of €0.20 to €10 per spin or trigger the Bison Bet, which increases the stake by 25% and doubles the chance of triggering the bonus game (RTP remains the same). Bison Bonanza does not use paylines or ways to create wins. Instead, as long as 8 or more matching symbols are in view, anywhere on the board, booyah, there's a bunch of coins coming your way.
On to the symbols then, where there are nine regular pays – four are lower value card suits, five are higher value lynxes, wolves, eagles, bears, and bison. Having 8-9 matching premiums in view is worth 1-10x the bet, going up to 10-50x when 12+ are in view. Lows payout 0.25-0.8x for 8-9, rising to 2-8x the bet for 12+ in view.
When a scatter win hits, it is taken off the board, and the symbols still on the reels drop into the vacated spaces. If this creates another scatter win with the new symbols, the process is repeated.
Players enticed by the prospect of massive multipliers, the chance to indulge occurs when at least 4 bonus symbols land in view, thereby triggering free spins. This is where the special multiplier symbols can appear. First, though, players pick which form the free spins will come, from these options:
In free spins, if a multiplier symbol lands in view during a cascade win sequence, it awards a multiplier based on the limitations mentioned above. When cascades finish, the total prize value is increased by the multiplier. If more than one multiplier is in view, the values are added together first, then applied to the win.
Jump right into the stampede if you so choose by buying the bonus round instead of waiting for it to happen on its own. There are two choices. One costs 100x the bet, has an RTP of 96.6% and is the same as landing at least 4 bonus symbols, as detailed above. The second is to buy a blast on the Bison Wheel for 248x the bet. This latter option spins a three-tier wheel to award 10-20 spins, an x2 to x10 minimum multiplier and x100 to x500 maximum multiplier. The RTP for this is 96.82%.
