Release the Bison Overview
Back in 2020 Pragmatic Play released a slot game called Release the Kraken and 2 years later they released a sequel with Release the Kraken 2. Now Pragmatic Play has released a game called Release the Bison. Which is a different game but does feel very similar to both of them.
Of course we are now no longer underwater with a mythical creature, but back on solid ground with a bison theme. Something we’ve seen quite a lot of titles with. The game has more cartoonish graphics set against a green wildland.
You will find 5 reels that are each 4 symbols high and the game uses 20 paylines.
Besides low paying card symbols you will also find high paying animals. Then there is the bison that counts as a wild symbols and can appear on all reels. Lastly the game comes with bonus symbols, which are diamonds, which can also appear on all reels.
Release the Bison comes with a lower maximum payout than the other titles I mentioned. This time it has a maximum of 3.000 times your bet. But it’s still a high volatile slot.
Features
Wild Respin
When 4 or more wild symbols appear during a normal spin you are paid your winnings. After this you will trigger a free respin where the wilds move and stop randomly over the reels. The rest of the symbols respin. You are paid again. And as long as more wilds appear, you will keep triggering another respin.
Guaranteed Win
At random during any non winning base spin, you can be awarded with a win of between 10x and 40x bet.
Free Spins Feature
3 or more scatter symbols will award the free spins feature.
Before free spins start you will spin a wheel that determines the number of free spins and the starting multiplier. Depending on the number of bonus symbols that triggered the bonus you are awarded between 8 and 18 free spins with a between x1 and x5 multiplier.
During free spins, any wild that appears will stay on the reels and will become a roaming wild that will randomly move to a new spot after each spin.
Wild symbols are also collected in a meter on top and at certain points you will be awarded with extra free spins and higher multipliers. A maximum of 10 wild symbols can be collected.
Buy Bonus
Some casinos will offer the option to buy the free spins feature. For 80, 150 and 300 times bet you are able to but 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols respectively.
Verdict
Release the Bison is a bit of a different game than Release the Kraken and Release the Kraken 2. But it does feel very similar. Mainly because of the wild respins and the way free spins are played.
Overall it’s a fun game with a good bonus feature. But unfortunately the maximum payout has been reduced a lot. No idea why, since it’s still a high volatile game.
The game doesn’t offering anything we haven’t seen before and even the theme has been done a lot. But I still enjoyed it.
So see what you think for yourself and play Release the Bison at casinos like N1 Casino>>, Duxcasino>>, Casumo>> and HeyCasino>>.
