Introducing Bison Moon Megaways

Bison Moon Megaways is an online slot provided by Northernlights, featuring 6 reels and offering engaging gameplay with a range of special features. This guide details everything new players need to know about the game, its mechanics, ways to win, and the bonus opportunities available.

How to Play

The aim of the game is to spin the reels in hopes of landing symbol combinations that result in a payout. Players choose their bet amount before each spin, with a minimum bet of £0.20 and a maximum bet of £4.00. The payout for each spin is based on the combinations of symbols that land on the reels, following the established rules.

Placing Your Bet

Each round requires placing a total bet. Bets can be adjusted using the bet controls to suit your preference within the preset minimum and maximum amounts.

Understanding Megaways and Ways to Win

Bison Moon Megaways operates on the Megaways mechanic, which means each spin can provide up to 117,649 ways to win. Each reel, along with the Extra Reel, can display up to 7 symbols, increasing the number of potential winning combinations. Winning combinations, or 'ways', must start from the leftmost reel and continue across adjacent reels. Only the highest win per symbol combination is awarded, and wins on different ways are added together to form the total payout for the spin.

Game Rules and Payouts

Payouts are awarded based on the combinations achieved on a spin. The value of each winning combination depends on the symbols involved and the amount wagered. The paytable displays the exact payouts for each winning pattern at the current bet value. The sum of all way wins from a spin constitutes the total payout. Where more than one winning pattern is possible with the same symbol combination, only the highest win is paid for that combination.

There is a maximum win cap of 10,000x the bet. If this limit is reached, the feature or play will end, and no further winnings from that round will be paid.

Reel Configuration and Extra Reel

The game is played across 6 reels. An Extra Reel appears above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, adding another symbol position to each of these reels for greater win potential.

Special Symbols

Wild Symbols

Wild symbols can substitute for other symbols (excluding Link&Win™, Scatter, Dynamite and Special symbols) to help form winning combinations. Wilds appear only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Scatter Symbols

Scatter symbols are unique in that they cannot be substituted by Wild symbols and do not provide direct payouts. They are present only in the base game and remain on the reels during the Rolling Reels™ feature.

Rolling Reels™ Feature

The Rolling Reels™ mechanic is available in both the base game and Free Spins rounds. When a win occurs, the winning symbols are removed from the reels, making room for new symbols to fall in. If new wins are created, the process repeats, enabling the possibility of multiple consecutive wins from a single spin. Scatters that land remain in place for the duration of the feature. Rolling Reels™ continues until no further wins appear.

Bison Stampede Feature

On any spin during the base game, a Bison Stampede may randomly trigger, activating the Stampede Bonus Wheel. This wheel grants one of four modifiers:

  • MAX WAYS: Sets the reels to spin with 117,649 Megaways™.
  • BISON WILDS: A random Low symbol is selected and replaced by Wild symbols on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
  • NO LOWS: Ensures no Low symbols land during the current spin.
  • WILD REELS: Fills all positions on the Extra Reel with Wild symbols.

This feature only occurs in the base game.

Link&Win™ Feature

The Link&Win™ feature activates when 6 to 14 Link&Win™ symbols appear during a base game spin. These symbols lock in place, and each reveals a cash prize. Red Link&Win™ symbols with a value greater than 1.2x the bet will turn blue for the feature.

The feature begins with 3 respins, with reels 1 and 6 held locked. Each unoccupied position spins individually to attempt to reveal additional Link&Win™, Special, or blank symbols. Only Special symbols can land on the Extra Reel. Landing additional Link&Win™ symbols resets the respin count to 3, and these extra symbols are also held on the reels.

Special symbols within Link&Win™ include:

  • Key Special symbol: Unlocks reel 1, and if landed again, unlocks reel 6.
  • Collect Special symbol: Collects all cash values shown on that reel.
  • Multiplier Special symbol: Multiplies all cash values on that reel by x2, x3, x5, or x10.
  • MaxWays Special symbol: Sets the number of ways on that reel to the maximum possible.

The feature ends when no respins remain or when all reel positions are filled by Link&Win™ symbols. Wilds cannot substitute for Link&Win™ symbols. The Link&Win™ feature is available only in the base game.

Free Spins Feature

Landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols in the base game will award 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, respectively. Free Spins utilise a persistent multiplier that increases by 1 with each win.

If a Dynamite symbol appears on the Extra Reel during Free Spins, it will activate one of five special modifiers in the following order:

  • MULTIPLIER BOOST: Instantly increases the multiplier by 5.
  • MORE WAYS: Raises the minimum number of ways available on the reels.
  • DOUBLE MULTIPLIER: Changes the multiplier increase per win from 1 to 2.
  • BISON WILD: A randomly chosen Low symbol on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 is transformed into Wilds for the remaining Free Spins.
  • EXTRA SPINS: Adds 5 more Free Spins to the current total.

All bets used during Free Spins are the same as the spin that triggered the feature.
