We Lock Horns With the Latest Push Gaming Slot Release Bison Battle!
Bison Battle is the latest slot release from Push Gaming scheduled for release on the 20th of January 2022. With a classic North American setting, you can look forward to plenty of coloured raging bison charging across the reels and colliding as they lock horns!
With various special modifiers such as Multipliers, Sticky Wilds, Huge Coin Prizes and a maximum win of up to 50,000x stake. 2 unique free spin bonus rounds and several clever features that keep the base game very interesting too!
You can expect the same graphical polish, clever features, and highly volatile gameplay if you are familiar with Push Gaming slots!
Bison Battle Slot - Base Gameplay
The base gameplay in Bison Battle takes place on a slightly larger 5x4 reel set, but with just 20 fixed paylines, it's probably worth checking through the paytable to see where these paylines are active.
The backdrop of a North American setting has been done superbly, with cartoon-style reel strips with an assortment of wildlife and a red rocky canyon backdrop setting the scene perfectly.
The Bison are the main focus of this machine, as you would expect and these come in a variety of different colours, with Red, Blue, and Green Bison all signalling their unique features.
With mechanics similar to the Invisible Man, you have an almost walking scatter-like mechanic as Bison appear on the left and right reels. If they appear on the same row, they will collide together, and the various features are triggered.
Triggering the main bonus features is critical with the Blue and Green Bison. Still, do not discount the win potential of the Red Bison feature either, which can include a colossal Coin Prize value based on stake (2500x), and on the other side, a huge Multiplier (up to 10x) to boost these values further.
Of course, the chance of landing these together will be infrequent. Still, there is ample opportunity in both of the main bonus rounds for some huge wins, thanks to sticky wilds, re-spins and huge multipliers all interacting together.

Bison Battle - Special Features
Bison Clash Feature
During Base gameplay, the Red Bison Symbol may land on reels 1 and 5 only. These Instant Prizes Symbol are staked based multipliers in the range of 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, 1000x and 2500x.
When a Red Bison Symbol lands on reel one without a Red Bison Symbol in the same row on reel 5, it will move across the reels on each subsequent spin. If it reaches the 5th reel with no bison appearing on the 5th reel and colliding, then it is removed from the reels.
The Red Bison Symbol on reel five can land with a Multiplier value (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x) attached. This Multiplier Symbol is only applied to the Instant Prize Symbol when triggered by the Bison Clash (Red Bison Symbol on reel one and reel five in the same row).
As a side note, the Red Bison Symbol with a Multiplier can also land during the Ice Park Feature and the Green Valley Feature.
Red Bison Symbol
Green Valley Feature
The Green Valley Feature is triggered when the Green Bison Symbol and any Red Bison Symbol (Reel 5 Red Bison) with a Multiplier are in view in the same row.
When triggered, both the Green Bison Symbol and the Red Bison Symbol will charge together and clash, signalling the start of the bonus round.
The Green Valley free spins feature starts with just 8 free spins. The critical component on offer in this bonus round is that the Wild Bison Symbols that land on reels 2, 3 and 4 are sticky wilds. Once these land in a position, they remain on the reels for the duration of the bonus round.
To spice things up further, the Red Bison Symbol can land on the reels and comes with a Multiplier value of either x2, x3, x4, x5, or x10. These are only present on reels 1 and 5.
If these land in view, they charge across the screen and multiply any of the values of the Sticky wild they pass through. If you check through the screenshots, you can see that the multipliers can grow to insane values if this occurs several times.
An added extra of the Red Bison is that it awards +1 extra spins, which can help to prolong this bonus feature.
Green Bison Symbol
Ice Park Feature
The Ice Park free spins feature is triggered when the Blue Bison Symbol and Red Bison Symbol (Reel 5 Red Bison) with a Multiplier are in view in the same row.
When triggered, both the Blue Bison Symbol and the Red Bison Symbol will charge together and clash, signalling the start of the bonus round.
The Ice Park Feature will seem very familiar to players who have played Money Train and Money Cart slots. While this version is quite simplistic, the core gameplay is the same.
The Ice Park bonus starts with just three free spins on offer, resetting to 3 each time a new symbol lands in view on the reels. Bison Coins are the main focus and can only land on the middle reels.
Bison Coins are, in effect, Instant Prize Symbols that are stake based coin multipliers that can appear as values of 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, 1000x and 2500x.
The Red Bison Symbol acts as a multiplier again with values of x2, x3, x4, x5, and x10, and these are only present on reels 1 and 5 and will apply this multiplier value to any Bison Coins already held on that row.
The free spins counter will reset back to 3 spins whenever a Red Bison Symbol or a Bison Coin lands in view. The bonus round ends if all three spins are used and no new symbols land in sight.
This feature only takes a couple of large coin prizes with a multiplier applied for wins to grow to massive amounts!
Blue Bison Symbol
Bison Battle Max Win
The Bison Battle slot has a maximum win limit of 50,000x stake, where the game round will end and present the win animation shown above.
Massive base game hits are possible thanks to coin prizes and multipliers. Still, more likely, the Blue and Green free spin bonus features have the best chance of securing such huge wins thanks to the sticky wilds and sticky Bison Coins having multipliers applied to them.
Bonus Buys
Push Gaming has recently introduced a Bonus Buy feature to its slots. Where allowed (country-specific), this feature is activated by clicking the small Star Icon just above the Spin icon.
Both bonus round features can be instantly triggered for a specific stake based cost.
The Green Valley Bonus round costs 85x stake (Default RTP 96.58%), and the Ice Park feature costs 90x stake (Default RTP 96.69%), which gives us a clue that the Blue (Ice Park) bonus round has a slight edge in terms of winning potential and volatility (based on the cost to buy it), but both are very capable features!

Bison Battle Slot Review
Bison Battle Slot Overall Opinions
Bison Battle is yet another superbly polished slot release from Push Gaming. The game oozes quality in terms of theme, visuals, and implementation. You would be hard-pressed to find anything wrong with the volatility and potential of this machine, with 50,000x wins being ample!
The game is top quality and worthy of your time and money, but we have a few minor gripes, which are pretty small. We found the Green Valley bonus round to be the more fun and exciting bonus round of the two. With sticky wilds and multipliers, it’s hard not to like what is on offer here. But the higher bonus buy cost of the Ice Park signifies this is, in fact, the more volatile of the two features.
Overall the mechanics are pretty simplistic, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s like a fusion of Raging Rhino meets the Invisible Man with bags more potential!
The reliance once again from Push Gaming to use Coin Prizes as a vast portion of the win potential seems to be a little overused. We honestly would have preferred a single sticky wild bonus round, with additional features either added to the base game or this bonus round.
The Ice Park round, whilst hugely volatile, seems like a very basic Money Train style bonus round, so it isn’t as appealing to play out with just coins and multipliers being the focus. Under the hood, it can deliver the same jaw-dropping wins, but the anticipation of that happening isn’t quite as good!
These are minor issues; however, it ticks most boxes we look for in a slot, so well worth checking out!
