Bison Moon is a 5x3 wildlife slot released on 17 January 2023 by Northern Lights Gaming through the Microgaming and Games Global distribution network. Bison Moon combines 25 fixed paylines with a bison Wild, four fixed jackpot tiers, Link&Win respins and a Free Spins round built around a 3x3 Jumbo Block. Wildz lists the MGA configuration at 94.08% RTP and medium volatility on its 1–10 platform scale.
Bison Moon sets its reels against a moonlit North American plain populated by bison, bears, wolves, eagles and raccoons. Bison Moon evaluates matching symbols from left to right across 25 fixed paylines, while its animal artwork and red- and blue-moon symbols separate the standard paytable from the two main bonus routes. The game uses a conventional reel layout rather than a cluster or ways-to-win system.
Bison Moon places most of its mechanical variation in Link&Win and Free Spins. Bison Moon can lock moon symbols for a hold-and-respin sequence, or merge the middle reels into one large symbol during Free Spins. Neither route can be forced by a staking pattern because feature entry and reel results remain random.
Bison Moon has the following verified specifications:
Bison Moon is listed by Wildz with 94.08% RTP, a volatility score of 6/10 and demo access. Bison Moon configurations and stake menus can vary by operator or jurisdiction, so the information panel inside the launched game remains the relevant place to confirm the active limits and feature settings.
Bison Moon pays line wins when matching symbols connect on an active pattern from the leftmost reel. Bison Moon uses all 25 fixed paylines on each paid spin, and only the highest eligible combination for a symbol on a line is awarded. Scatter wins can pay independently of paylines and can be added to line wins.
Bison Moon uses a random result for every game cycle. Bison Moon players can choose a stake and, where shown, enable or disable Win Booster before spinning, but those controls do not determine which symbols will land. Quickspin or stopping the reel animation also does not alter the pre-determined result.
Bison Moon triggers Link&Win when 6 to 14 Link&Win symbols land in the base game or during Free Spins. Bison Moon locks the triggering symbols, changes the remaining positions to Link&Win or blank outcomes and begins with 3 respins. Each newly landed Link&Win symbol stays in place and resets the counter to three.
Bison Moon ends the feature when no respins remain or all 15 positions have been filled. Bison Moon then awards the displayed cash values and any fixed Mini, Minor, Major or Mega symbols, with a full grid adding the Mega tier. The hold mechanic can extend the round, but selecting a larger stake cannot guarantee another moon symbol or a full screen.
Bison Moon presents Mini, Minor, Major and Mega prizes within the Link&Win feature. Bison Moon has jackpotType: none in the Wildz game record, which means these awards are fixed game prizes rather than a networked progressive pool. Their amounts do not grow as other players place bets.
Bison Moon awards the Mini, Minor and Major tiers when their labelled Link&Win symbols land, while the Mega tier is associated with filling all 15 positions. Bison Moon adds the Mega award to the other locked Link&Win values at the end of a completed grid. A fixed jackpot label describes a programmed prize tier, not a shared pot that becomes more likely after a long period without a win.
Bison Moon offers Win Booster in configurations where the option is enabled. Bison Moon adds extra Link&Win symbols to the base reels and charges an extra amount equal to 2.5x the current bet, increasing the chance of entering Link&Win without changing the standard line pays. The selected state carries into Free Spins and cannot be changed while that round is active.
Bison Moon displays the boosted cost before a spin is placed. Bison Moon players should check that amount rather than assuming the control guarantees a bonus, because the additional symbols only change feature-entry probability and do not promise a return. The option can also be unavailable under local product rules.
Bison Moon awards 10 Free Spins when 3 Scatters land on reels 2, 3 and 4. Bison Moon combines the centre three reels into a single 3x3 Jumbo Block during the feature, allowing one large symbol to occupy nine reel positions. A Link&Win Jumbo Block counts as nine separate Link&Win symbols for feature purposes.
Bison Moon can add 10 more Free Spins when a Scatter fills the Jumbo Block, and that event also pays 1x the total bet. Bison Moon can trigger Link&Win from within the bonus round when the required moon symbols appear. The larger block changes how symbols are displayed and counted, but it does not let the player select the Jumbo symbol or control a retrigger.
Bison Moon has an RTP of 94.08% in the MGA configuration served by Wildz. Bison Moon RTP expresses the theoretical proportion of total stakes returned across a very large number of game cycles, including the base game and programmed features. It is not a prediction for a single session.
Bison Moon may exist in other mathematical configurations outside Wildz, and Win Booster can have its own calculated return. Bison Moon players should therefore use the in-game information screen to confirm the version actually open before wagering. Previous results do not move a short session closer to the long-run RTP.
Bison Moon has a Wildz volatility rating of 6/10, which sits in the medium band on the platform scale. Bison Moon can produce ordinary line results alongside less frequent feature sequences, with Link&Win and the 3x3 Free Spins block creating much of the variation. Session balances can still change unevenly despite the medium classification.
Bison Moon volatility describes the distribution of outcomes rather than the likelihood of profit. Bison Moon does not become due for a feature after a run of non-winning spins, and a previous Link&Win round does not reduce or increase the next spin’s chance. Stake size changes the money exposed, not the independence of the random outcomes.
Bison Moon has a published maximum win of 12,500x the stake. Bison Moon can reach that technical ceiling through its paytable and feature configuration, with the bison Wild and large-symbol Free Spins structure supporting high-value combinations. The four jackpot tiers are fixed components of the game rather than an additional progressive prize.
Bison Moon maximum win is a cap, not an expected result. Bison Moon requires a specific sequence of randomly generated symbols to reach the ceiling, and no choice of spin speed, stake pattern or Win Booster setting can guarantee it. Players should size a stake around an affordable budget rather than the maximum multiplier.
Bison Moon starts after the player opens the game, checks the paytable and chooses an available stake. Bison Moon then uses that amount across its 25 fixed paylines when the spin control is pressed. Win Booster should be reviewed separately because it adds an extra cost where the option is available.
Bison Moon is an online slot, so British licensed operators must apply the statutory maximum of £2 per game cycle for customers aged 18–24 and £5 for customers aged 25 or older. Bison Moon players should also check the selected RTP, feature rules and total displayed cost before confirming a real-money spin. No staking method changes the random reel result.
Yes, Bison Moon can be played on compatible mobile phones and tablets. Bison Moon is listed in the Wildz mobile catalogue as well as the desktop catalogue, with the same 5x3 reel structure, Link&Win feature and Jumbo Block Free Spins. The control layout adapts to the available screen size.
Bison Moon mobile performance depends on the browser, connection and device support. Bison Moon does not require a different set of game rules on mobile, although interface placement and optional controls may vary. Using a phone does not change RTP or make a feature more likely.
Yes, Bison Moon has demo play enabled in the Wildz MGA game record. Bison Moon demo mode uses virtual credits and allows the paylines, Link&Win respins, Win Booster display and Free Spins structure to be examined without placing a real-money stake. Virtual-credit results cannot be withdrawn.
Bison Moon free play remains a random simulation of the game and does not predict later real-money outcomes. Bison Moon access through a British licensed operator requires age verification before a customer can use free-to-play gambling games. Demo access is therefore a way to learn the controls, not a method for identifying a winning sequence.
Bison Moon can be offered by online casinos holding the appropriate Gambling Commission permissions and carrying the relevant game integration. Bison Moon players in Great Britain must be at least 18 years old, complete identity checks and remain within the online slot stake limits. The operator’s game panel should identify the RTP and permitted options for that version.
Bison Moon is listed internationally by Wildz, but Wildz states that visitors from the United Kingdom are redirected to partner casinos. Bison Moon players should check the Gambling Commission public register for the business they ultimately use rather than assuming the international Wildz site itself accepts UK registrations. Northern Ireland follows a separate legal framework from Great Britain.
Bison Moon real-money play in Great Britain falls under the Gambling Commission framework for England, Scotland and Wales. Bison Moon customers must have their name, address and date of birth verified before gambling, and the minimum online gambling age is 18. The same age-verification requirement applies before access to free-to-play versions offered by a licensed gambling business.
Bison Moon is also subject to the online slot stake limits introduced in 2025. Bison Moon has a maximum of £2 per game cycle for ages 18–24 and £5 per game cycle for ages 25+ at British licensed operators, regardless of a higher range published for other markets. Northern Ireland is not regulated under the Gambling Act 2005 in the same way.
