Reflex Gaming, a leading omnichannel provider of gambling entertainment, has recently joined forces with Yggdrasil to introduce an immersive gaming experience through Bison Wilds DoubleMax™.
This slot game offers 20 paylines and is characterized by high volatility, providing players with the opportunity to win over 19,000x their initial stake through free spins and two innovative game mechanics, namely Pop and Drop and DoubleMax.
The power of DoubleMax
The DoubleMax Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) is a key feature that doubles the overall multiplier for every successful cascade occurring in both base and bonus gameplay rounds. However, the multiplier reverts to x1 following any unsuccessful spin.
Pop and Drop Cascade feature
The Pop and Drop Cascade feature contributes to the dynamic gameplay by removing symbols from the reels after a winning combination, leading to the insertion of new symbols from above to fill the vacated spaces. Moreover, during each cascade, one or more Wild symbols are introduced to the empty positions. There are four distinct types of Wild symbols that players may encounter: Standard Wild, Super Wild, Boost Wild, and Each Way Wild.
Standard Wilds function as conventional wild symbols, Super Wilds occupy all vacant positions, Boost Wilds advance the multiplier trail by one level, and Each Way Wilds offer payouts from both the right and left directions.
Free spins
To trigger up to a maximum of 13 free spins, players need to land three or more bonus symbols anywhere on the screen. Throughout the Free Spins feature, the multiplier escalates continuously and remains in place until the conclusion of the bonus round. Additionally, players have the opportunity to engage in a gambling activity prior to the feature’s commencement to potentially increase their winnings.
Players also have the choice to raise their wager by 25% in order to enhance their chances of activating the free spins feature. Alternatively, a Bonus Buy feature enables players to initiate seven free spins by wagering 100x their initial stake.
Zoe Bird, Head of Masters at Yggdrasil, said:
Bison Wilds DoubleMax combines a truly classic slot theme with modern game mechanics. I firmly believe the thrilling duo of the DoubleMax and Pop and Drop is a sure-fire way to win the hearts of players.
Mat Ingram, Chief Product Officer at Reflex Gaming, added:
We’re super excited to showcase Bison Wilds DoubleMax. We think we’ve formulated the perfect game for those after high volatility gameplay, gripping features and mechanics.
Review Overview
Summary
Bison Wilds DoubleMax slot has a basic but exciting mechanic we've all probably seen before. With the North American classic wildlife theme, 5 reels of 3 rows and 20 lines, it has a few special modifiers. There is an in-play doubling multiplier for every winning tumble with no limit, the 5-of-a-kind pays are 5 down to 1x bet but the Wilds are where the fun starts. There's a normal Wild bison, one which activates both-way pays when it's used, super Wild which fills the whole reel after it's used initially and finally boost Wild which will boost the doubling multiplier trail by 1-5 stages in the base game or once in the free games. You need 3+ coin scatters for 7, 10 or 13 free games and there's no retriggers or extras. The maximum win is a bison battering 19997x bet.
