Bison Wilds DoubleMax Slot Review

Bison Wilds DoubleMax - Slot Overview

Bison Wilds DoubleMax drops you straight onto a prairie at sunset, running on a classic 5 by 3 layout with 20 fixed win lines. Reflex Gaming pair their animals theme with Yggdrasil's DoubleMax ladder, so every consecutive cascade doubles the active multiplier. Stakes range from 0.20 to 100 per spin, which suits both casual balance building and more aggressive hunting for that headline 19,996 times bet payout.

When I first loaded Bison Wilds DoubleMax I got a simple but serviceable backdrop, with the reels framed by grass and a string based soundtrack ticking along. It is not the flashiest Reflex release, yet the mix of cascading symbols, random wilds and that climbing multiplier makes base game spins feel loaded with potential, especially once you see the ladder edging into four figure territory.

Symbols and Paytable in Bison Wilds DoubleMax

The paytable in Bison Wilds DoubleMax sticks to a familiar structure. Clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds act as the lower paying set, all sharing the same value and returning 1 times stake for a five of a kind line. High paying symbols are eagle, wolf, cougar and horse, worth between 2 and 5 times bet for five. Several bison wilds substitute these symbols but never replace the bonus scatter icons.

Base Features and Pop and Drop in Bison Wilds DoubleMax

Base game wins in Bison Wilds DoubleMax land when at least three matching symbols connect across one of the 20 paylines from the leftmost reel. Any winning symbols are then removed, a Pop and Drop cascade kicks in and fresh icons fall into the gaps. Before new symbols drop, one or more wilds are added at random, giving the grid a second chance to link up another paying line.

There are four wild variants in Bison Wilds DoubleMax. Standard wilds simply stand in for regular pays. Super wilds turn every empty position on their reel wild. Multiplier wilds push the DoubleMax ladder higher without needing a win. Each Way wilds are my favourite, as any win that uses them can pay both left to right and right to left, which feels great on longer symbol strings.

RTP, Volatility and Win Potential in Bison Wilds DoubleMax

From a numbers angle, Bison Wilds DoubleMax is rated as super high volatility, so I always treat it as a game for swingy sessions rather than short, casual spins. The main RTP setting sits at 94 percent, with some venues using 90.5 percent, and the hit rate is around 25 percent. With DoubleMax climbing up to x65,536, the stated max win reaches 19,996 times the triggering bet.

Bonus Features in Bison Wilds DoubleMax

Free spins in Bison Wilds DoubleMax arrive when three or more bonus scatters land in a single paid spin. Three scatters award 7 spins, four give 10 and five give 13. The feature plays broadly like the base game but with one huge twist. The DoubleMax multiplier does not reset between spins, so any early cascades that raise the ladder can carry through the entire bonus session.

Triggering Bison Wilds DoubleMax with three or four scatters gives you a Free Spins Gamble option. A wheel appears with green and red sectors. Land on green and your 7 spins climb to 10, then 13 if you gamble again. Hit red at any point and it is all over with no spins at all. I only take this gamble when my balance is already ahead.

For players who like forcing the action, Bison Wilds DoubleMax packs two paid extras. Golden Bet costs 1.25 times stake yet doubles the chance of landing at least three scatters on a spin, which smooths out long dry patches. Feature Buy sits at 100 times bet and sends you straight into free spins with 7 starters. I tend to reserve buying for when the base game has been ice cold.

First Impressions of Bison Wilds DoubleMax

After a fair stretch with Bison Wilds DoubleMax, I see it as a slot built around potential rather than polish. The prairie visuals and soundtrack do their job without stealing the show. What keeps me spinning is how the Pop and Drop cascades tie into the progressive multiplier ladder and feature wilds. When everything lines up, even a modest hit can snowball into something that looks very handy.

On the flip side, the combination of super high volatility, lowish RTP and an aggressive multiplier cap means Bison Wilds DoubleMax can feel punishing between highlights. For me it works best as a session game where I am chasing one big chain of wins rather than constant small payouts. If you enjoy riding variance and watching multipliers climb, this prairie herd can still offer a satisfying stampede.
