Bison Battle Slot Review

Bison Battle Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Bison Battle slot takes place on 5 reels, 4 rows and 20 fixed paylines. Wins are simply created when 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols appear from left to right across any of the 20 paylines. The only exception is the American eagle as you only need 2 to form a winning combination.

Playable from 10p to £100 a spin like most other Push Gaming slots, you’ll see a Total Bet box below the reels. Click on the up arrow to see all available stake/bet levels. A screen will appear to show all 15 stakes. If you head to the Settings tab, you can enable Turbo Mode for faster spins. There’s also an Autoplay function. Both these extras are not permitted in the UK though.

The Bison Battle RTP is 96.4% which is just above the norm of 96%. The RTP rate can rise up to 96.69% if you use the Bonus Buy feature (not for UK players).

Highly volatile as you’d expect, the maximum win is 50,000 x your total stake. The chances of winning this amount is 1 in over 4.8 million spins (4,830,920 spins to be precise). The bigger wins will come in the Ice Park and Green Valley features.

Theme – head to North America for a bison clash

A bison clash is about to take place in the Bison Battle slot. With an native American theme, it focuses on the American bison. Set in North America, a canyon forms the backdrop. With an enchanting and mystical feel, the soundtrack is uplifting and reminiscent of the Dances with Wolves film.

Beautifully designed with high definition graphics, you will see low value heart, club, spade and diamond symbols. The higher value symbols are made up of lynxes, wolves, bears and American eagles. The American eagle is the most rewarding symbol with 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination paying 0.5, 2, 10 or 50 x your total stake.

The bison is the wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except the red, blue and green bison scatters. It offers no specific payouts. The blue and green bisons can only land on reel 1 with the red bison on reels 1 and 5.

Bison Battle Mobile

The Bison Battle slot is available to play on all devices including mobiles, tablets, PCs and laptops. The good news is that Push Gaming is a mobile-first slots provider. This means their focus is on mobile play including iOS, Windows and/or Android. The 5×4 area is small enough for an optimal experience on a handheld device.

Bison Battle Bonus Features

The Bison Battle slot has 4 bonus features. With Instant Prize symbols subject by a multiplier, it’s all about the 2 free spins features. There are multipliers, sticky wild bison symbols and free spins/respins which can result in Bison coins worth up to 2,500 x stake.

Bison Clash feature

The Bison Clash feature is activated when the red bison scatter with an instant prize and the red bison scatter with a multiplier appear on the same row. Both red bisons come together and clash. The Instant Prize symbol is multiplied by the multiplier value to give you a total win amount.

Green Valley feature

The Green Valley feature is triggered when the green bison scatter and any red bison scatter with a multiplier appear on the same row. Both bison symbols then come together and clash.

With 8 free spins awarded, the red bison multiplier symbol (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x) can only land on reels 1 and 5. The bison wild symbol can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4. More importantly, the wild bison is sticky throughout the feature.

When the red bison multiplier lands on reel 1 or 5, it moves from reel 1 to 5 or 5 to 1 and applies the respective multiplier to the wild bison on reels 2, 3 and 4 that are on the same row. You can benefit from unlimited multipliers on the wild bison too. If there are no wild bison symbols, the red bison multiplier disappears. Finally, every red bison scatter landing will give you 1 additional free spin, with no limits.

Ice Park feature

Finally there’s the Ice Park feature which is played when the blue bison scatter and any red bison scatter appear on the same row. Both symbols come together and clash. You’ll begin with 3 free spins.

The red bison scatter multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x can only land on reels 1 and 5. Bison coins can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4. Bison coins are Instant Prize symbols that will be worth between 3 and 2,500 x your total stake.

Every symbol position will spin to give you a red bison, Bison coin or an Ice Block blank symbol. If you land a red bison or Bison coin, the number of free spins resets back to 3. If they don’t land, a spin is lost.

When a red bison scatter with a multiplier attach lands on the same row as a Bison coin, the red bison moves from right to left from reel 5 or left to right from reel 1. The respective multiplier is applied to the Bison coin values. If the red bison symbol with a multiplier lands with no Bison coins, the red bison moves across and disappears. The feature ends when no more free spins remain.

Bonus Buy feature

In some countries, there’s a Bonus Buy feature. Not available to UK players,  you can buy your way into the 2 main bonus features. With the RTP increasing for each option, here’s how much it will cost:

Bison Battle Review Summary – momentous bison clashes key to big wins

The Bison Battle slot is a well-design game by Push Gaming, as you’d expect. With unique gameplay, the game focuses on the 3 bison scatters which trigger 3 bonus features.

The 2 main extras are the free spins features. The Green Valley feature sees red bison multipliers up to 10x apply when sticky wild bison symbols appear on the same row. Multiple multipliers can see payouts rocket up to 50,000 x stake.

In the Ice Park feature, Bison coins up to 2,500 x stake can land. Like a traditional respins feature, multipliers from the red bison will be applied to the Bison coin when a red bison multiplier lands on the same row. This is where the maximum 50,000 x stake payouts are most likely to arise.

That said, the variance is very high with most feature triggers delivering payouts up to 30 x stake most of the time. You need patience and luck of course. If the Bonus Buy feature is available in your country, the 75 and 95 x stake fees are reasonable compared to the likes of Nolimit City.

Bison Battle will take a little getting used to but playing in demo mode above will soon see you get the hang of it pretty quickly. Overall, it’s another brilliant slot from Push Gaming who continue to surprise us with new innovations and new ways of revamping popular bonus features.

You should also try Fat Drac which features Instant Prize Bubbles and offers 50,000 x stake max wins. Instant Prizes can also be found in Fire Hopper which is played on a 7×7 grid and also comes with 50,000 x bet payouts.
