Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win (Northern Lights) – Review & Demo Play

Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win Slot Overview

When I first loaded Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win, it felt like a straight follow-up to the earlier prairie outing. You get a 5x3 setup with 25 paylines, high volatility and a headline 12,500x cap, so it sits in the high risk camp. What kept me spinning was the mix of regular wins and hold-and-win action. Ultra Link & Win, Bison Stampede, jumbo block free spins and, in some markets, a Win Booster, give the base game enough sparks to chase without losing the thread.

Design and Theme in Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win

Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win keeps the purple-hued plains under a full moon, with rocks, cacti and distant mountains framing the grid. The audiovisuals are lifted almost wholesale from the first game, but the calm score still suits the pace, and a soft female voice drops in with short comments. Most of the view is covered by the reels and interface, yet the mood comes through, giving that slow western vibe while the bison head wild stares out from the frame.

Symbols and Payouts in Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win

The paytable sticks to card royals and local wildlife. J, Q, K and A are the low symbols, paying up to 2x, 2.5x, 3x and 4x the total bet for five of a kind. Premiums are racoon, eagle, wolf and bear. Full lines top out at 7.5x, 10.5x, 15x and 25x, with three or four of a kind scaled beneath. With the maths model set for spikier play, these animal pays feel like steady bumps between the headline features.

Specials do the heavy lifting. The bison head wild substitutes and pays 2.5x, 20x and 500x for three, four and five across a line. Blue moon scatters sit on reels two, three and four, and three in view pay 1x and trigger the free spins. The red blood moon is the Ultra Link & Win trigger, and six to fourteen in the base or bonus round will start the respins mode, with each moon revealing either a cash value or one of the fixed jackpots.

Bonus Features in Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win

At random after any base spin, Bison Stampede can charge over the reels. Flaming bison heads land and then flip into one of three outcomes, turning into wilds, scatters or Link & Win symbols. It’s a neat way to set up a feature or spike a line hit, and it only happens in the base game. I’ve had bursts where the stampede bridged dead spins and set the screen for the main events.

Free spins land from three scatters for 10 spins. During the round, the middle three reels merge into a 3x3 jumbo block that counts as nine regular symbols, so any line that touches it can punch harder. If the jumbo shows the scatter, you get +10 spins and 1x total bet on top. The jumbo mechanic is simple, but when it lines with high pays or wilds, it can carry the round.

Ultra Link & Win starts when 6 to 14 red moons appear anywhere. You begin with three respins, and every new moon sticks and resets the counter. Cash moons show 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x or 20x, while jackpot moons carry Mini 50x, Minor 150x or Major 750x. Four extra rows can be unlocked as you collect symbols. Fill all 35 positions to land the Mega 10,000x on top of everything already held. In some markets, a Win Booster raises moon density for a higher entry rate.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win

On the numbers side, Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win comes with a 96.13% RTP at default. With Win Booster active where available, it nudges to around 96.56%. Volatility is high, and the hit rate sits near 30.3 percent, so on paper you see a return roughly every third spin, albeit in clumps. The ceiling is 12,500x the bet, which matches the first game’s top line. It’s enough headroom to keep the grind honest while you hunt the moons.

Final Thoughts on Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win

I came away thinking this is a reskin that plays better than it looks. The backdrop and soundtrack are nearly identical, yet the added Bison Stampede and the Ultra mode with unlockable rows give the feature game more punch. Jumbo block free spins still do a job, and the bison wild line remains a tidy hit when it lands five across.

For me, Bison Moon Ultra Link & Win suits longer sessions where patience is part of the plan. The jackpots ladder, especially the 10,000x full grid, provides a clear target, and the hit rate keeps the meter ticking. It isn’t a massive leap from the original, but the changes make sense, and I’m happy to fire it up when I fancy a rugged prairie slot.
