Bison Moon Review

The Bison Moon in this game looks more like what is known as a ‘blood moon’, and Northern Lights Gaming has created a cartoonish North American animal release that doesn’t really stick out too much from the crowd. The high-value Bison Wild tends to land in stacks, and a full screen cracks the 12,500x potential. This adds a bit of tension to the base game, which is otherwise pretty straightforward stuff.

The sunset valley in the backdrop comes with semi-blurred visuals, almost like an amateur aquarelle painting, and you get animals like bears, eagles, and wolves as symbols on the grid. This is hardly a game to play if you’re looking for innovation, but the Link&Win feature comes with a decent 5,000x full-grid jackpot. You get mega symbols in the bonus round, which can lead to larger payouts and trigger features.

Bison Moon Slot Features

The premium animal symbols pay between 7.5 and 25 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the top-tier symbol is a bear. The bear is beaten only by the Bison Wild symbol, which pays 500x your stake should you land 5 on a payline. The Wild also steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, like wilds usually do.

You can turn on the Win Booster ante bet feature between base game spins, and it adds extra Link&Win moon symbols to the reel strips (it also increases the top-tier RTP to 96.33 %).

The triggering Link&Win symbols become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid, and they reveal either regular cash prizes up to 20x, or jackpots up to 750x your stake. You start with 3 respins, and only blanks or new Link&Win symbols may land. All new Link&Win symbols become sticky as well, and this resets the respins tally to 3 each time. The 5,000x Mega Jackpot is awarded if you manage to fill the grid with symbols.

The Free Spins Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters in view, and this gives you 10 free spins.

Review Summary

From the North American animal theme, to the Link&Win feature and the mega symbol bonus round, we can’t help but point out that we’ve seen similar things many times before. However, that’s the nature of this industry, and not every game can be a gamechanger. The visual presentation comes across as a bit too bland for our taste as well, but new players may find this highly engaging for all we know.

The wild comes with a high value, which can lead to solid base game payouts on a lucky day, but the Win Booster ante bet seems expensive at 2.5x the regular spin price. At least specify the benefit with numbers, if you want people to go for it. Both bonus rounds are capable of thrilling moments, and the overall 12,500x potential is solid enough. Nothing too spectacular to see here perhaps, but a decent shelf-filler nonetheless.
