Charge Bison Slot Review & Free Play

Charge Bison: Follow the Stampede Through a Desert For Wins Up to 5,000x

In Charge Bison, TaDa Gaming had a clear and very direct idea to add new appeal to an already widely recognized buffalo theme. This slot plays on a 6x4 grid, uses symbols like the bison, the eagle, and the wolf, and the max win is 5,000x the stake.

The extraordinary part is that you can trigger up to 100 spins, get up to 5x wild multipliers, and re-trigger the feature with two or more scatters.

My base game was solid, as I mostly landed eagles, wolves, and bears for wins between 0.5x and 2x my bet, every three to five spins.

That said, I was good and ready to chase the big thing, and even more than 150 spins of waiting couldn't hurt me with a main game that consistent. That's when three scatters gave me 8 free spins. I won't lie, the 100 number as the maximum for the trigger still felt like a lofty goal, but I didn't mind what I got.

As mentioned before, the wilds turn dangerous once the free games open, since every wild on a winning way picks up a random 2x, 3x or 5x, and those values add together instead of multiplying. In my case, three of them stacked at 5x, 5x and 2x across the same way, which dragged a full row of bison up to 90x my bet and carried the round to 170x in total.

There's only one thing I really wanted to land, and that's a retrigger. Two scatters during the free games hand you five more spins, three of them give eight, and six would have thrown another 100 on the pile.

Overall, the free games system is the core mechanic of this game, and that's a double-edged sword. You can get an amount of free spins that's well above the industry's average, but you depend on it directly. In case you don't land it, you might be in trouble. I think it's a fair trade.
