Wild Force: Bison Sunrise / Midnight Wolf

HOW THE ADVANTAGE WORKS:

• Wild Force features frames that lock on the reels. Landing a Spin symbol in the middle reel will trigger a selector wheel spin. If the selector wheel lands on Wild Spark, a spark will shoot down onto a random locked frame causing all frames connected horizontally and vertically to turn wild.
  

WHEN TO PLAY

• Do not count locked frames that say “Wild” on them because those will disappear next spin.
  

1. 5 locked frames connected horizontally.
   
2. 13 locked frames anywhere, regardless of how many are connected (you’ll have a good chance of connecting some before the Wild Spark feature triggers).
3. It’s not possible to list every possible playable variation, but using the above two entry points will give you a general guideline on when to play setups that are between 5 and 13 locked frames. In general, you are looking for connected locked frames starting in the first reel. Avoid plays where all of the locked frames are concentrated on the right side. Keep in mind that you really need a payline with five wilds to get a good payout. The paylines don’t need to be straight across (see the photos section below for the different shapes of the paylines), but the frames do need to be connected.
   

Additional notes​

• The locked frames accrue quickly and the Wild Spark feature triggers frequently. The line hits are very weak though, so you need many more locked frames compared to similar games like Star Goddess/Wu Dragon and Zodiac Lion.
  
• The locked frames carry over into the free games and become wild for the duration of the feature. So they have added value beyond triggering the Wild Spark. During the free games, you can land extra wilds and win multiplier features, so entering the bonus with a large number of locked frames can lead to massive payouts.
• The locked frames have glowing borders around the ones that are connected horizontally or vertically.
• A full Spin symbol needs to land in the middle reel to trigger the selector wheel spin—partial Spin symbols do not count.
• A message that says “REELS CHANGED” appears underneath the first reel every three spins. The game rules state that every time this message appears, the Wild Spark feature becomes more likely to trigger. This means that you typically won’t get down very deep before you trigger the wilds.
  
• The selector wheel contains the following:
  

1. Wild Spark: triggers the Wild Spark feature.
   
2. Up to 10 extra locked frames: randomly adds between 3 and 10 extra locked frames.
3. Up to 15 extra locked frames: randomly adds between 5 and 15 extra locked frames.
4. Up to 20 extra locked frames: randomly adds between 7 and 20 extra locked frames.
5. Mega Reel: spins the large vertical reel where you can win credit prizes, jackpots or free games.
   

The game comes in a tall cabinet with a huge wheel at the top, so it is easy to spot inside casinos.

The Spin symbol landed in the middle reel, which triggered the Wild Spark feature on the selector wheel. All of the frames connected horizontally and vertically turned wild.

Setups like this might look tempting to play, but I would pass on this. Unless you connect many more frames, the payout just won’t cover the cost to trigger the Wild Spark feature.

This was a bad play that I took. Even with the three wilds across the top row, it paid less than the bet amount.

These are the kind of boards you need to get a nice win.

You need to form a payline with five wilds to get a decent payout.
