Bison Rising Megaways Slot Review

Bison Rising Megaways - Slot Overview

Bison Rising Megaways is Blueprint Gaming's bison-packed Megaways slot set on dusty wild plains. As someone who loved the earlier buffalo-themed release, I could tell straight away this is more straight reskin than fresh sequel. The studio has kept the core maths and feature set almost untouched, so if you know that original, this one feels like stepping back into very familiar boots, only with a slightly tweaked name.

From a player's point of view, Bison Rising Megaways hits that sweet spot between old-school Megaways grind and high-octane bonus hunting. You still get the sprawling 6-reel setup, cascades and those volatile free spins that can swing hard either way. For me it works as an excuse to revisit a proven model in a new skin, especially if you missed the first buffalo outing the first time round.

Slot Information in Bison Rising Megaways

Bison Rising Megaways runs on a classic Megaways engine with 6 main reels and an extra horizontal reel above, giving up to 7 rows and 117649 ways to win on any spin. Stakes range from 0.10 to 10 per spin, with a standard RTP of 96.5% that rises to 97.01% if you buy the Bison Bet feature for 100x stake. Volatility sits in the high bracket, with a headline max win of 50000x.

Design and Theme of Bison Rising Megaways

Design-wise, Bison Rising Megaways sticks to the same dusty North American backdrop as its buffalo-flavoured predecessor, with cartoon-styled rocks, scrub and open skies framing the reels. It is not the most dramatic vista I have ever spun on, yet the warm colours and soft lighting work well enough. The whole thing feels like standing on a sun-baked plain waiting for the herds to thunder past in the distance.

The audio does plenty of heavy lifting in Bison Rising Megaways. Gentle drums and native American style melodies sit under the action, with the occasional animal call adding a nice bit of atmosphere without becoming grating through longer sessions. I usually play it on mobile, and the visuals scale cleanly to a smaller screen, though I still prefer a decent desktop monitor when I am hunting serious Megaways streaks.

Symbols and Paytable in Bison Rising Megaways

In Bison Rising Megaways the paytable starts with the classic 9, 10, J, Q, K and A royals, paying around 1x to 1.5x stake for six of a kind. Premium symbols are moose, wolf and bear, which reach 2x to 2.5x for full lines, while the regular bison tops the lot at a chunky 50x. Golden bison wilds appear only on the top reel, and pink diamond scatters trigger the free spins feature.

Bonus Features in Bison Rising Megaways

The engine in Bison Rising Megaways uses tumbles, so every win removes its symbols and drops new ones in, chaining hits together during a single paid spin. Megaways logic means reel heights change each spin, with between 2 and 7 symbols on the outer reels and up to 6 in the middle, so the number of winning ways swings all the way up to that eye-catching 117649 when the screen really opens out.

On top of that, mystery symbols can drop anywhere on the grid in Bison Rising Megaways. When they land together they all flip to show the same regular symbol, which can fill in gaps or set up chunky lines of beasts across the reels. The golden bison wild on the top reel helps glue wins together as well, stepping in for standard icons while the tumbles keep rolling beneath it.

Free spins in Bison Rising Megaways arrive when you hit at least four pink diamonds, and more scatters add extra spins. You then pick from 15 spins at 1x, 10 spins at 5x, 5 spins at 10x, or a mystery blend of spins and starting multiplier. During the bonus every tumble nudges a progressive multiplier up by one, and extra scatters can retrigger. If patience runs thin, the Bison Bet buys straight entry.

Bison Rising Megaways Slot Verdict

As a long-time Megaways grinder, I see Bison Rising Megaways as a straight revival of a proven blueprint rather than something new. It leans heavily on familiar tools like tumbles, mystery symbols and the ever-climbing free spins multiplier. Yet that combination still works, especially if you enjoy volatile bonus rounds where one big chain of wins can suddenly throw serious coin at you off what looked like an average trigger.

If you have played the original buffalo Megaways slot, you will feel right at home, so your appetite for a near-clone might decide how often you load this one. I still spin it because the maths is strong, RTP is generous for a high volatility game, and the Bison Bet offers direct high-action sessions. For newcomers to the bison herd, it is an easy recommendation for Megaways fans.
