Blazing Bison Gold Blitz Slot by Fortune Factory Studios 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Blazing Bison Gold Blitz Review

Fortune Factory Studios have seen great success with their original money-themed Gold Blitz release, and we all know what that means. Reskin jobs are bound to follow in its wake, and Blazing Bison Gold Blitz is the first one in that regard. It comes with a more engaging animal theme, at least in our view, but no changes have been made with regards to the gameplay, features, and math model. It boils down to which theme you prefer in other words, and having options is never wrong.

As before, landing the lighting bolt Collect symbol means that all present cash and jackpot prizes are awarded, and jackpot symbols come with prizes up to 2,500x your stake. Cracking the 5,000x potential is therefore possible in all stages, and you’ll benefit from multiplier wilds in the most volatile bonus round option. The Gold Blitz option is less volatile, as you are guaranteed to collect cash prizes per spin. We enjoyed the fiery bison theme and the powerful soundtrack, and Blazing Bison Gold Blitz is a viable option if you’re tired of the original money theme.

Blazing Bison Gold Blitz Slot Features

The top-tier symbols pay between 2 and 5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and wilds substitute for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve line wins. The wild symbols can land on reels 2 to 6 in the base game, but they appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the free spins round. The Collect Symbol can land on all 6 reels in the base game, and it comes with a lightning bolt logo.

You need cash symbols in view to win anything from the Collect symbol, and regular cash symbols come with smaller prizes. However, the Collect symbol can also collect jackpot symbols, and these come with values of 25x, 250x, and 2,500x your stake. The jackpots are known as the Minor, Major, and Mega jackpots, and all cash and jackpot symbols in view are paid if you also land the Collector symbol.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land at least 3 scatters in view, and you’re then taken to the Bonus Round Option Screen. The number of free spins for each of the two options is determined by the number of triggering scatters. You also get a smaller scatter payout up front, and 6x your stake will be awarded if you land 6 triggering scatters. Here’s what you can expect:

• 3 triggering scatters gives you 8 FS or 2 Gold Blitz (GB) spins.
• 4 triggering scatters gives you 12 FS or 3 GB spins.
• 5 triggering scatters gives you 20 FS or 5 GB spins.
• 6 triggering scatters gives you 30 FS or 7 GB spins.

The regular free spins feature gives you multiplier wilds of x2, x3, or x5, and they will apply to any line wins they partake in. You can also retrigger this bonus round by landing 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters, and this gives you 5, 8, 12, 20, or 30 free spins, respectively.

The Gold Blitz feature is the less volatile option of the two, and you are guaranteed to land at least 1 Collect symbol per GB spin. In addition, you are guaranteed to also land cash symbols, which means that each GB spin is guaranteed to land you a win. You will land blanks, cash, and/or jackpot symbols only during this feature, and all prizes in view are collected for each Collect symbol in view.

The Bonus Buy menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. If eligible, you can pay 75x, 120x, or 150x your stake for 4+, 5+, or 6 triggering scatters, respectively.

The 200 Spins Blazing Bison Gold Blitz Slot Experience

You get a brief taste of the base game, before we purchase the top-tier bonus trigger. We went with the Gold Blitz feature first, and it starts at 0:52 into the 8:48-minute highlights video. We purchase the top-tier free spins round right after, and it starts at 4:12 into the video. You can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The original Gold Blitz is Fortune Factory Studios’ biggest hit so far, and it’s understandable that they want to try their luck with a reskin job or two. Blazing Bison Gold Blitz comes with a pretty engaging fiery bison theme, and the soundtrack and voiceover effects add to the excitement. The dilemma of whether or not to beef up the math model is always an issue with such a follow-up release, as doing so may steal the thunder from the original success. Time will tell if they release an upgraded or deluxe version at some point in the future, however.

Audiovisually, we prefer this reskin job to be honest, and it’s always nice to have more than one option to keep things a bit varied. The gameplay is the same, of course, and the prize collect system adds tension to the base game. Landing 2 collect or top-tier jackpot symbols cracks the 5,000x potential, and the Gold Blitz Spins feature is probably what made the original such a smash hit. It comes with guaranteed cash collection per spin after all, while the FS round is more ordinary and volatile. Blazing Bison Gold Blitz is solid for a reskin job, but offers nothing new in terms of features and math model.
