We can all admit that Sharknado is an objectively bad movie. That doesn’t mean it isn’t wildly entertaining. It’s Mother Nature on meth, hurling sharks at people like some unhinged dodgeball match with teeth. Forget climate change, the real apocalypse is a tornado that figured out how to weaponise Great Whites. It’s basically Shark Week colliding with Twister after a three-day bender, and somehow people still just stand around screaming instead of moving inland like rational human beings. The fact that this ridiculous concept not only worked but spawned an entire franchise is so perfect and says so much about us as a species.

With the success of Sharknado comes the inevitable copycats. While Kalamba definitely didn’t copy the story beat for beat with its new Bisonado PrizeMatch slot, the inspiration is clear.

Animals in the atmosphere

One of the central features of Bisonado PrizeMatch is the adjustable reel system that results in a variable RTP from 95.9 to 96.3%. Instead of restricting you to a fixed configuration, the game introduces what Kalamba refers to as HyperBet Grid Evolution. With this function, you can engage with the slot on a 3-3-4-4-6-6 structure or expand it to a larger 3-3-6-6-6-6 arrangement. The choice has a direct influence on hit frequency and payout dynamics, allowing you to determine the level of volatility that suits your session.

On the first two reels, there are PrizeMatch frames that give you another chance to win with each spin. When matching symbols land in the frames, the same symbols on reels three to six will be awarded a PrizeMatch value.

A round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered either with three or more bonus symbols or through purcahse a round via the Buy Bonus feature. The number of free spins awarded depends on the number of bonus symbol are present to trigger the feature. During a round of free spins, any winning amount that originates from the PrizeMatch feature recieve a multiplier.

Is the Bisonado PrizeMatch slot worthy of the Sharknado comparison?

In the end, the Bisonado PrizeMatch slot feels like someone watched Sharknado and thought, “Cool, but what if we threw bison into the storm instead?” The theme is ridiculous, the reels spin like a stampede caught in bad weather, and yet it somehow works in that chaotic slot-logic kind of way. Underneath the madness, though, there’s substance: HyperBet Grid Evolution lets you shape the medium-to-high volatility, PrizeMatch triggers keep dropping surprise wins, and the free spins round pushes the chaos to the limit. With a maximum win potential of $220,000 it proves that getting trampled by airborne bison isn’t always a bad thing. I give the slot a nine out of ten
