Bison Moon (Northern Lights) – Review & Demo Play

Bison Moon Slot Overview

I came to Bison Moon under a blood moon, with a sunset valley painted in semi-blurred strokes. Northern Lights has gone for a cartoonish North American animal line-up, and the look doesn’t shout for attention, but it works. What carries the base is the Bison Wild; it lands in stacks, and when those stacks line up, the screen pressure rises fast. A full screen of wilds points at the advertised 12,500x, so even simple spins can feel loaded.

The set-up is 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 paylines. Stakes run from 0.10 to 20, with a default RTP of 96.08% that edges to 96.33% when the Win Booster ante bet is active at 2.5x stake. Volatility is high, so expect stretches of calm broken by spikes. Features on the card are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Link&Win, Free Spins, and the Win Booster. Nothing shockingly new, but the package is tidy and the math can push when the moons arrive.

Bison Moon Slot Information

Bison Moon plays cleanly on mobile and desktop. A win triggers when you land three or more matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel, across the 25 lines. The background feels a little muffled and the UI is busy, but the audio does a solid job of framing the action, with an epic, Disney-like tune and voice stabs during features. Overall, the slot invites short, punchy sessions while you chase stacked wilds, scatters, or a moon cluster.

Free Spins in Bison Moon

Free Spins in Bison Moon light up when 3 scatters land on reels 2, 3, and 4, awarding 10 spins. The middle three reels then combine into a 3x3 mega block that counts as nine of the same symbol, which can put several lines in play at once. A scatter mega block adds 10 more spins, and a Link&Win mega block jumps you into Link&Win. The merged block gives this bonus its punch and can turn ordinary screens into tidy totals.

Bison Moon Link&Win Features

In Bison Moon, Link&Win triggers when 6 or more red moons land. The triggering moons lock in place, the rest of the grid clears, and you get 3 respins. Only blanks or new Link&Win moons can appear; every new moon sticks and resets the count to 3. Each moon reveals a cash amount or a jackpot: Mini 20x, Minor 60x, Major 300x, or the Mega 2000x. The feature ends on zero respins or when all 15 spots are filled.

I like toggling the Win Booster here, as it adds extra Link&Win moons to the strips. It raises the RTP to 96.33% but costs 2.5x per spin, so I use it when the balance can handle the swings. The loop of stickies and resets keeps the sweat on, and audio cues help the build. I’ve hit Mini and Minor often, seen the Major a few times, and that full screen Mega remains the big chase.

Bison Moon Symbols and Paytable

Bison Moon’s low pays are J, Q, K, and A. Lines of five pay between 0.8x and 1.6x, so they act as light keepers while you hunt features. In my sessions, these landed often enough to plug gaps, though they rarely carried a screen alone. Where they shine is during Free Spins: the 3x3 merged block can throw nine low symbols into play at once, letting several lines connect and topping up the meter before a better hit arrives.

The premiums are racoons, eagles, wolves, and the top bear. Per the paytable, premiums land five-of-a-kind pays in the 7.5x to 25x range, with the bear at the peak. This tier is where screens turn, especially when the 3x3 block lands as a premium. Even a couple of extra connecting lines across 25 paylines can rack up, and that’s before any wild stacks nudge in from the sides to complete lines you didn’t see building.

The Bison Wild substitutes for regular pays and can take centre stage. Five wilds on a payline pay 500x, and the symbol lands in stacks, which is why base game screens can jump. The moon with "Free Spins" text is the scatter; land three of those on reels 2-4 to trigger the bonus. Red moons are Link&Win money symbols, each revealing either a cash amount or a jackpot, with the Mega paying 2000x for a full grid.
