Play Bison Rising Megaways Slot

Bison Rising Megaways by Blueprint Gaming stretches across six reels with shifting rows, and a four position horizontal top bar. A combination of wildlife icons, mystery elements, and cascading wins keeps the action moving, while free spins introduce a choice with varying multipliers. 

It’s hard to come up with something completely new in online slots and if the name seems a bit similar to another Blueprint release, Buffalo Rising Megaways, the graphics keep the connection going. More wide open spaces, towering buttes, wood framed reels and wildlife. I’m not sure how the moose got here, as its habitat is generally in much more wooded lands further north. But the rest of the collection could easily be found in this sort of terrain. 

There’s not much going on visually in the base game beyond the action on the reels, but the Free Spins round shifts the setting to more rugged terrain where there’s obviously a storm blowing in, and clouds and wind effects swirl around the grid. The soundtrack goes for a kind of Native American vibe, with wind instruments and drums mixed in with the click of the reels.   

Special symbols

• A golden bison acts as the Wild, stepping in for all standard symbols to help complete combinations.
• Scatter symbols appear as diamond icons and trigger the free spins feature when enough land on the reels.
• Mystery symbols also show up in batches at random, revealing matching icons once settled.

Free Spins 

Free spins kick in when four scatters drop in, and straight away there’s a bit of choice involved. There’re four options on offer, three which give either more spins but a lower starting multiplier, less spins but a higher starting multiplier. And then there’s the mystery pick, which throws out a random combo. Once the round gets going, it’s the usual Megaways scenario, with the multiplier bumping up by one with each win, and not resetting between spins.Scatters can show up too, adding more spins when three or more are in view. 

Mystery Symbols 

Mystery symbols show up and cover random spots on the reels. When they flip, they all turn into the same symbol. 

Tumble Feature 

Winning symbols drop away, new ones fall in, and the reels get another shot without resetting.  

The game uses a Megaways system, meaning the number of symbols on each reel changes with every spin. Up to seven rows can appear, creating as many as 117,649 ways to form a combination. Wins form when matching symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right.  

Since the advent of the Megaways mechanic, it’s been adopted wholeheartedly by both online casino fans and providers, and with great games like this it is easy to see why: 

• Spartacus Megaways by WMS takes the Roman Empire theme into a 7-reel Megaways format, offering up to 1,000,000 ways to win with cascading reels, expanding wilds, and free spins. 
• Book of Tut Megaways by Pragmatic Play brings ancient Egypt to life, combining the classic Book mechanic with Megaways, up to 117,649 ways to win, and detailed visuals of treasures and Pharaohs. 
• Majestic Fury Megaways Unleashed by Blueprint Gaming sets players in a blazing savannah with a lion as the top symbol, offering cascading wins, Cash Collect mechanics, Fury Blitz Super Spins, and up to 15,625 ways to win. 

In our opinion, Bison Rising Megaways keeps things familiar with a steady mix of features that work well together. There’s a bit of originality with the choice at the start of the Free Spins, but that’s it. 

Animal symbols carry most of the character, and the background supports the setting without taking over the screen. 

We think players who are into Megaways slots with a straightforward structure and familiar themes will find something to like here.
