GAME SYMBOLS AND PAYOUTS
Unsurprisingly, it is the bison which fetches the highest paytable payouts. When players land three, four or five of these, they win 200, 250 or 300 coins respectively.
There is a tie for second place as the fox and the aardvark fetch 250, 200 or 80 coins for five, four or three of a kind respectively.
Another tie comes in third position as the eagle and the beaver both fetch 150, 100 or 40 coins for five, four or three of a kind respectively.
The icons which anchor the paytable are the royal poker symbols (Ace, King, Queen, Jack and numbers 10 and 9).
BONUS FEATURES
- Wild: This slot’s wild comes in the form of a red portrait inscribed WILD. This symbol only lands on the middle reels and only one wild can land on each reel. The substituting powers of the wild allow it to substitute for all symbols except the scatter.
- Bonus Wheel Feature: The colourful wheel icon inscribed BONUS acts as the scatter. When three or more scatters land simultaneously on the grid, the Bonus Wheel Feature activates. When the feature is triggered by three, four or five scatters, players win 1, 2- or 3-wheel spins respectively. On each wheel spin, players are guaranteed to win any one of the following prizes: cash prizes (grand prize of 20,000 coins, major prize of 2000 coins or the mini prize of 1000 coins) or free spins (15, 12, 10 or 8 free spins).
- Free Spins Feature: The free spins feature can only be triggered via the bonus wheel feature. During this feature, wilds may land attached to random multipliers of either 2x or 3x. When involved in a winning combination, the wild multipliers will be applied to the payout before it’s paid out. Win lines featuring more than one wild will see the wild multipliers multiply each other and afterwards, the result is applied to the payout. More impressive is that during this feature, the top-paying bison symbol may appear as a stacked symbol covering all reel positions at once. Two or more scatters that land during the feature will award extra free spins.
- Buy Feature: The Bison Valley slot comes with a buy feature which allows players to gain immediate access to the Bonus Wheel Feature by increasing their current bet 100x.
- Double Up Side Bet: At the start of any spin, players may choose to enable the Double Up Side Bet by clicking the corresponding button on the main screen. When enabled, the Double Up Side Bet automatically doubles the cost of each spin. The beauty of enabling this side bet is that scatters may land as stacked symbols on the grid. This therefore increases the player’s chances of activating the Bonus Wheel Feature. The Double Up Side Bet however does not increase the paytable payout values.
