Release the Bison

Release the Bison sends Pragmatic Play into the American wilderness with a slot where the bison is far more than the star of the artwork. Played across 5 reels and 4 rows with 20 fixed paylines, the game revolves around roaming Wilds that can move across the grid, extend respin sequences and gradually strengthen win multipliers. A random Guaranteed Win mechanic adds occasional surprises to the base game, while Free Spins turn every landed Wild into a persistent roaming symbol and introduce a progression system capable of extending the bonus. With high volatility and a maximum win of 3,000 times the bet, Release the Bison concentrates most of its personality around keeping Wilds in motion. Regular wins are formed across the 20 paylines by landing matching symbols on consecutive reels from left to right. The lower paying symbols use familiar card ranks, while the premium side of the paytable features animals including wild cats, coyotes, eagles and wolves. The bison acts as the Wild and substitutes for regular paying symbols. Unlike an ordinary Wild, however, landing enough bison symbols can immediately change the structure of the spin through the Wild Respin feature. Landing at least 4 Wilds activates Wild Respins. All triggering Wilds remain active but roam to new positions for the respin rather than staying fixed where they originally landed. Whenever another Wild enters the grid, it joins the roaming group, another respin is awarded and the global win multiplier increases by 1x. The Wilds move again for each subsequent respin, allowing the feature to continue as long as new Wilds keep arriving. Once a respin fails to produce another Wild, the sequence ends. Bonus symbols appearing during Wild Respins are collected rather than discarded when the reels continue. Up to 5 can be collected, and finishing the sequence with at least 3 Bonus symbols triggers Free Spins. This creates a second route into the main feature because the required symbols do not necessarily need to arrive together on one conventional base game spin. The roaming Wild sequence can gradually collect them while simultaneously creating additional respins and increasing its win multiplier. Release the Bison also includes two ways for an otherwise uneventful base game spin to change unexpectedly. A losing spin can randomly activate the Guaranteed Win feature, transforming the result into a winning combination worth between 10x and 40x the total bet. When exactly 2 Bonus symbols land, a separate random respin can also activate. The two Bonus symbols remain in place while the other reels respin, providing another opportunity to find the additional symbol required for Free Spins. Landing or collecting 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols activates the main bonus, but the number of Free Spins is not fixed. A wheel determines both the starting number of spins and the initial win multiplier. A 3 symbol trigger can award 8, 10, 12, 15 or 18 Free Spins with a multiplier between 1x and 5x. Four symbols can award the same spin quantities with a starting multiplier between 2x and 5x, while 5 symbols provide 10, 12, 15 or 18 Free Spins with a stronger starting multiplier between 3x and 5x. Every Wild landing during Free Spins becomes a Roaming Wild and remains active for the rest of the bonus. Instead of occupying one permanent position, these Wilds move to new locations between spins. Each Wild is also registered by the collection meter above the reels. This creates an increasingly busy grid as the feature progresses because previously collected Wilds continue moving while newly landed Wilds join them. The fifth collected Wild unlocks the progression mechanic. From that point onwards, every additional Wild awards 1 extra Free Spin and increases the global win multiplier by 1x. Up to 10 Wilds can be collected in total, meaning the feature can award up to 6 additional spins through Wild collection when counting the fifth Wild and every subsequent collection through the tenth. The growing multiplier applies alongside the increasing population of roaming Wilds, making the later stages of a successful bonus considerably stronger than its opening spins. Where supported, Ante Bet increases the standard wager by 25 percent in exchange for an improved probability of reaching Free Spins. Release the Bison also provides three direct Feature Buy levels in permitted markets. A trigger with 3 Bonus symbols costs 80 times the bet, 4 symbols cost 150 times and the strongest 5 symbol trigger costs 300 times. The more expensive purchases improve the possible starting multiplier conditions on the Bonus Wheel rather than introducing a completely different bonus mechanic. Release the Bison works because its Wild mechanic develops naturally from the base game into the bonus. Wild Respins introduce the idea of moving bison and increasing multipliers, then Free Spins turn those same symbols into persistent travellers that gradually fill the feature while unlocking more spins and stronger multipliers. The 3,000x maximum is relatively restrained by modern Pragmatic Play standards, but the interaction between roaming Wilds, accumulated Bonus symbols, random guaranteed wins and the progressive Free Spins meter gives this wilderness themed slot a structure that feels far more active than its straightforward 20 payline setup initially suggests.
