10 Flaming Bisons: Slot Overview

After the strong performance of the online slot 10 Swords, Push Gaming has revisited the scatter symbol instant prize style and refined the formula to create 10 Flaming Bisons. Like its predecessor, it draws from the 9 Masks of Fire blueprint, while also adding elements that GameBurger Studios’ popular title didn’t offer. In 10 Flaming Bisons, that includes two grid-expanding Push-Up ante bets, a progressive free spins feature, and new jackpot scatter symbols that can award prizes of up to 5,000x.

Push Gaming has experimented with scatter prize mechanics before, and it has also featured large, shaggy animals previously in the online slot Bison Battle. Much like Bison Battle, 10 Flaming Bisons is set well away from major North American cities—and even away from smaller settlements—on a dry plain scattered with tents and framed by rocky formations. A Native American theme runs through the presentation, or at least Push Gaming’s take on it, both in the background and across the reels.

Suspended above the plains, 10 Flaming Bisons’ reel set starts with 3 rows across 5 reels, offering 20 paylines. The layout can then grow to up to 7 rows during free spins, where the game runs with 60 paylines. Push-Up betting is available too. Standard stakes range from 10 c to $/€100, but players can switch on one of two Push-Up options. Expanding the grid to 5×4 increases the wager to 2.5x the base bet, while moving to 5×5 raises it to 5x base bet. With these enabled, any triggered free spins start with the corresponding extra rows already open. In terms of math, 10 Flaming Bisons is a medium volatile slot with a default RTP of 96.26%.

Styled in a Native American-inspired look, the J-A card ranks act as the low-paying symbols, returning 1 times the bet for a 5 OAK win. Above them are a necklace, a pipe, and an axe, each paying 6x for 5 OAK, followed by 3 character symbols that deliver 20-30x for 5-of-a-kind. The Dreamcatcher symbol serves as the wild, substituting for all paying symbols. It can land on every reel and, when forming its own combinations, pays the same as the top-paying symbol.

10 Flaming Bisons: Slot Features

Instant prizes are available by hitting a required number of Bison symbols in both the base game and the bonus. There are also Jackpot Bison symbols to watch for, which pay out the prize amounts shown above the reels.

Bison Symbol

The Bison symbol can appear during the base game as well as in free spins. If 4 or more Bison symbols land anywhere on the reels, an instant prize is triggered. The payout scales with how many Bison symbols appear. With 4 to 10 Bison symbols visible on active rows, prizes of up to 1,000x the bet are awarded, respectively.

Jackpot Bison Symbol

Jackpot Bison symbols can also show up in both the base game and free spins. When any Jackpot Bison symbol lands alongside 3 or more Bison symbols, the Jackpot Bison symbol instant prize is paid. Jackpot Bison symbols also count toward the regular Bison symbol instant prize totals. There are 4 types of Jackpot Bison symbols: the 15x Mini, 50x Minor, 500x Major, and the 5,000x Mega. Both scatter prize types can be awarded together.

Free Spins

Hitting 3, 4, or 5 Totem scatters awards 8, 10, or 12 free spins, respectively. In the free spins round, any Totem symbols that land fill the next Locked Row meter. Each locked row meter requires 4 Totem symbol collections to unlock. Every unlocked row grants additional free spins. Unlocking the first row adds +3 free spins, the second and third rows add +2 free spins each, and the final row adds +1 free spin.

Buy Free Spins

The free spins feature can be purchased for 75 times the bet.

10 Flaming Bisons: Slot Verdict

For a mid-tier scatter symbol instant prize slot, 10 Flaming Bisons is difficult to criticise. That said, it’s also not among Push Gaming’s most groundbreaking releases. On the plus side, it’s produced to the developer’s usual high standard, with solid visuals and audio—though it doesn’t quite stand out as a major audiovisual showpiece. The bison theme is a familiar mainstream choice that suits a broadly accessible slot, and the Native American touch adds a bit more texture. While the core gameplay is fairly familiar, Push has bolted on a few extras that aren’t always found in this type of game.

The Push-Up ante bet is one of those additions, and as seen in DJ Cat, it allows players to expand the reel area. Since the main objective in 10 Flaming Bisons is to land Bison symbols and Jackpot Bison symbols, having more room for them to appear may appeal to some. During testing, Bison symbols seemed to show up regularly too—mostly at the lower end of the prize table, as expected. The upper end of the standard prize table feels unexpectedly modest for this style of slot. 10 Swords offered 5,000x as its top prize, and even 9 Masks of Fire reaches 2,000x. There is a 5,000x Mega prize here, but it felt more like a rebalancing of the game’s overall payout potential than a true extra layer. For reference, 10 Flaming Bisons’ maximum win is 5,602x.

The inclusion of a local jackpot element will be exactly what some players want, while others may skip it entirely—meaning 10 Flaming Bisons likely won’t suit them. Overall, it comes across as designed for a broad online slot audience: players who aren’t especially drawn to the “scarier” Push Gaming titles like Razor Returns or Mad Cars, but who want a scatter prize game with a couple of fresh ideas included.
