Bison Rising Megaways

Players that enjoyed the Buffalo Rising Megaways title in the past may already know just about everything related to this bison-related alternative. The two games are incredibly similar. However, small changes have been made to the appearance and the sizing of the board itself.

Perhaps the biggest difference is the quality of the graphics, with the Bison Rising Megaways slot being brought into the present day courtesy of highly detailed symbols and an improved background. This release also features the Megaways mechanic, meaning up to 117,649 paylines can be active per spin.

Bison Rising Megaways was created by Blueprint Gaming and, as a result, uses the same interface that can be found across most of their titles. Their portfolio includes hundreds of titles, with the likes of Count Duckula, Deal or No Deal: What’s In Your Box, and Eye of Horus all being hugely popular in their own right.

Game Features

The standard icons in Bison Rising Megaways consist of the 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols that can be seen in an overwhelming majority of online slots. Premiums come next in order of desirability, featuring a moose, a wolf, a bear, and of course, a bison. If six of these icons form a matching combination, players will be awarded with 2x, 2.5x, 5x, or 50x their stake size, respectively.

Scatter icons appear in this title, shown as diamonds, with the potential to trigger the main bonus mode. Bison Rising Megaways also comes with mystery symbols, and if these land on the board, all instances will reveal the same icon before any combinations are evaluated. Finally, there are gold bison wilds, which can substitute for any of the other symbols, apart from scatters and mystery icons.

Before looking at the main bonus modes, it’s worth mentioning that Bison Rising features a cascade mechanic, which ensures that all matching combinations are removed from the board. Any space is then filled with more symbols that are added from the top.

Should four or more scatter icons appear simultaneously in any position, the free spins mode in Bison Rising Megaways will trigger. Four different variations of the bonus will then pop up on the screen before the player is prompted to choose between them.

The options include 15 free spins with a 1x starting multiplier, ten free spins with a 5x initial multiplier, or five free spins with the multiplier beginning at 10x. Should more than four scatter icons trigger this mode, an additional 4, 2, or 1 free spin will be awarded, depending on which bonus is selected.

Players can also choose ‘Mystery Choice‘, which will award them 5, 10, or 15 free spins, alongside a starting multiplier of 1x, 5x, or 10x.

Any cascades that occur during each of these modes will increase the win multiplier by 1x., with no maximum limit being imposed. Each bonus can also be retriggered by landing 3 or 4 scatter icons on the reel at the top of the screen, which will award an additional 5 or 10 free spins.
