Bison Trail

Bison Trail slot clearly draws inspiration of the early Americas, when the vast lands were still ruled by massive herds of bison and other wild animals. The game uses 1024 ways to win, with the normal five times four reel setup.

It comes with good quality graphics, sound effects and all the usual fanfare. Bonus games are where most of the action happens, and you can read more about that below.

Theme

Native American music sounds in the background, whereas normal clickety-click sounds work as effects throughout most of the game. The graphics are simple and superb in quality. Most of the symbols are different American animals, as well as playing card ranks. There are a few animations at play, but these too are quite simple and mostly show up whenever you score a winning combination. The background places us somewhere in a deserted desert canyon.

Betting Options and Functions

The 1024 ways to win was revolutionary when it first featured, and today it has taken its place amongst other usual slot features. The combinations require a minimum of three symbols combining from left to right, with the exception of the least valuable symbols that will return double your line bet for just two symbols. The bison is the most valuable symbol here.

The interface is quite nice, which is no surprise from a company like Platipus that is deeply integrated in mobile gaming. The betting level starts from 0.40 coins per spin, and tops at 80 coins per spin. The returns are mid to high, as is volatility. Maximum win from a normal five symbol combination is 300 times the bet.

Features

The wild comes into play on the middle reels, with further functionality on bonus spins. The scatters pay between two and twenty times your bet, and also dish out between eight and twenty bonus games, depending on how many you manage to land on a single spin.

During the bonus games, any and each wild that shows up on the middle screens also come with a multiplier. Each wild will double or triple the payout, with the maximum multiplier going all the way into 27 times the original. Naturally, this is where the real wins of this slot lay. Landing more scatters means landing more extra spins, which are added to the total. Even two scatters are enough to claim five more spins.

Our Take

Bison Trail is one of those slots that do not aim to revolutionise the whole industry. Instead, it serves the players a quality product that comes with excellent graphics, sounds and gameplay features. This is something that you might end up playing with your bonus money, just to see how it works out.
