Fat Panda Overview
Fat Panda is the latest online slot release from Pragmatic Play. An Asian themed game where they picked a very cute panda to be the main character and wild symbol of the game.
Of course providers always come back to the Asian theme. It’s probably one of the most used themes for any slot game and always works well.
You will find 5 reels that are each 3 symbols high and the game comes with 20 lines.
Besides regular card symbols and all sorts of Asian themed symbols you will also find the panda, which is the wild symbol and appears on all reels. Lastly we have a paw symbol, which is the scatter symbol and can also appear on all reels.
On top of the regular reels you will also find a top reel, more on that reel below.
Fat Panda comes with a high maximum payout of 20.000 times your bet and is a very high volatile slot game.
Fat Panda Features
Top Reel Modifiers
On top of the normal reels you will find an extra reel. During any spin, in the base game or during free spins, random special modifier symbols will slide into this reel. These modifiers will award bonuses on the reel below.
- Add Wild – Adds a random wild symbol on the reel below
- Expanding Wild – If there is a wild symbol on the reel below, it will be expanded to cover the entire reel
- Add Wild Multiplier – Will have a random multiplier of between x2 and x10 and will add this to all wilds on the reel below
- Add Wild Multiplier to all – Will have a random multiplier of between x2 and x20 and will add this to all wilds on all reels
Free Spins Feature
3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols will award 10, 12 and 15 free spins respectively.
During free spins wild symbols will become sticky wilds and will stay on the reels until the end of the bonus.
An extra modifier can now appear on the modifier reel which will add between 1 and 10 extra free spins when it appears.
Bonus Buy
Some casinos have the option to buy the free spins feature for 70 times your bet.
But this game also offers the option to buy Super Free Spins, which can’t be triggered normally. This will award the same free spins as normal, but the first spin will guarantee 5 sticky wild symbols landing on the reels. This costs 300 times your bet to buy.
Verdict
Let me start by saying that the theme is nice. It all looks very colorful and fun.
The base game is ok and also keeps going because of the modifiers. But it never got really exciting for me. The free spins are a different story, here’s where the game gets interesting, because of the sticky wilds. Because of those wilds modifiers have a much larger chance of triggering, giving those expanding wilds and multipliers.
But the Super Free Spins are even better, because you start with 5 sticky wilds. And if they hit on the right spots, it will guarantee some nice wins spin after spin. And huge wins with the right multipliers. But of course you can only buy those and they aren’t cheap. I’m wondering why didn’t add a special scatter or something to be able to trigger them normally.
I am not sure if it’s the case, but it also seems modifiers appear more often during the free spins features.
You can find Fat Panda at casinos like Platin Casino>>, Wildz>> and Duxcasino>>.
