On the 5x4 grid, symbols pay along 20 fixed paylines read from left to right. Two matching symbols lined up from the left are enough for a win. The theme blends Animals and Native American imagery, with an Eagle, a Bear, a Wolf, a Lynx and four ornament symbols: Heart, Club, Spade and Diamond.
On reel 1 and reel 5, a Bison pair in one row opens a bonus route. A Green Bison scatter on reel 1 with a Red Bison Multiplier on reel 5 starts the Green Valley Feature with 8 free spins. Each landed Red Bison adds a free spin, with no cap. A Blue Bison scatter with the same pairing starts Ice Park instead.
Bison Battle round
This settles how a round runs, from the bet you pick to the point you stop.
The reels only turn once you set a bet from A$0.10 to A$100. The bet you pick scales every win, and A$0.40, A$2 and A$10 are the examples used here.
A win forms when matching symbols land on one of the 20 fixed paylines, read left to right. Two matching symbols are enough to pay on the 5x4 grid.
Blue and Green Bison scatters on reel 1 trigger a feature only with a Red Bison on reel 5 in one row. Bison Clash pays the prize value times the multiplier.
A Green Bison scatter on reel 1 and a Red Bison Multiplier on reel 5, in the same row, start the Green Valley Feature with 8 free spins.
The reels can stay blank on any spin, so set your limit before the first spin. No one can know when a bonus will come, so decide your stop point now.
Game screens
After this, you will have seen what a win and a bonus look like on screen.
A paid entry costs a set multiple of your bet, so the outlay scales as you move up the bet ladder, and at A$10 a spin the two features cost A$750 and A$950.
| Paid Entry | Cost | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Green Valley Feature At 75x | x75 · A$750 | – |
| Ice Park Feature At 95x | x95 · A$950 | – |
Staked money comes back over the long run at the rate of the version in play: each A$100 staked returns the stated amount across millions of spins, never round by round. The version this game runs is printed in its rules.
| Payback Level | RTP | Provider Standard |
|---|---|---|
| variant 1 | 96.69% | No |
| variant 2 | 96.58% | No |
| variant 3 | 96.40% | Yes |
Bison Battle Bonus Rounds
Same reels, three feature routes, and a cost shown in cash before a spin runs.
Triggered by a Green Bison scatter on reel 1 with a Red Bison Multiplier on reel 5 in the same row (or Bonus Buy at 75x base bet). Starts with 8 free spins; Wild Bison symbols land sticky on reels 2-4, and each Red Bison landing on reel 1 or 5 crosses that row applying its multiplier to every sticky Wild it passes; 1 extra free spin is awarded per landed Red Bison, uncapped.
Plain reelsSticky wilds
Triggered by a Blue Bison scatter on reel 1 with a Red Bison Multiplier on reel 5 in the same row (or Bonus Buy at 95x base bet). Starts with 3 spins; Red Bison (reels 1 and 5 only, x2-x10) and Bison Coin (reels 2-4 only, 3x-2500x) symbols land sticky, any landing resets the spin counter to 3, and a Red Bison crossing a row adds its multiplier onto any Bison Coins in that row; ends when the counter reaches zero with only blank Ice Blocks landing.
Ice blocksHeld coins
Triggered when a Red Bison Instant Prize symbol (reel 1) and a Red Bison Multiplier symbol (reel 5) are in view in the same row; the two clash and award (Instant Prize value) x (Multiplier value) as a single instant win.
Two bison in viewA single payout
5 reels x 4 rows, 20 fixed paylines, left-to-right pay direction. Blue/Green Bison scatters on reel 1 pair with a Red Bison on reel 5 to trigger the two purchasable features; a Red Bison Instant Prize (reel 1) paired with a Red Bison Multiplier (reel 5) triggers the non-purchasable Bison Clash instant win.
The lobbyLine wins
Spinning reels decide nothing in advance, and nobody can tell you how often the bison features arrive or what one session will return, because each round is random no matter which payout percentage the game runs at. Treat every outcome as fresh rather than part of a pattern that is due to swing.
Reading the game rules inside the slot is the only place the running payout version shows itself, and the version set for Bison Battle governs what comes back over the long run, never a single sitting. The question of which percentage applies belongs to that rules panel, not to anything shown on this page.
A ceiling on this game sits at a very large multiple of the stake, and reaching it means lining up the best possible combination of features and prize values at once. Landing that total is rare enough that nobody plans a session around it, so treat the number as the top of the scale rather than a target.
Worth Your Spin
Each slot gets the same plain treatment here: what it pays, how its features start and where the limits sit.
A casino account in Australia is for players aged 18 and over. If play stops feeling like fun, the National Gambling Helpline is on 1800 858 858 and BetStop runs the national self-exclusion register.
Fix a spending ceiling before the first spin of Bison Battle, in a figure you can lose without it hurting. Once that amount is gone, the session is over, whatever the reels are doing.
Decide on a win target and a quitting hour before you start, and hold to both. A big multiplier is a reason to bank the result, not a reason to push for one more round.
Set daily or weekly deposit and loss limits on the account so the ceiling holds without willpower. Limits apply across every game here, Bison Battle included, and changing them takes time on purpose.
Take a break from the reels when the play stops being enjoyable, and use the account tools or BetStop to step away longer if needed. Gaming should sit inside your budget, never run it.
Checking The Details
Read this after the tables and before you set a stake on Bison Battle.
Bison Battle pays up to x50,000 your bet. At A$10 a spin that is A$500,000, and at the A$100 ceiling it reaches A$5,000,000. Reaching the top of the range depends on results no one can call in advance.
The sheet for Bison Battle does not state a volatility rating. Judge the risk from the figures rather than a label: the Ice Park Feature closes after three blank spins, and the x50,000 cap hints at long dry patches between big results.
Two features can be bought outright. Green Valley costs 75x your bet, so A$750 at a A$10 stake, and Ice Park costs 95x, which is A$950 at that stake. Both charges leave your balance before the first spin of the round.
Bison Battle takes between A$0.10 and A$100 per spin. Example stakes sit at A$0.40, A$2 and A$10, and payouts in the tables use A$0.40 so the amounts scale easily by stake.
Three return settings are published for Bison Battle: 96.40%, 96.58% and 96.69%. The figure on the screen at home is the one that applies. A$100 through the 96.69% setting leaves A$3.31 as expected loss; at 96.40% it leaves A$3.60.
