ABOUT
Fat Panda by Pragmatic Play is far from just another generic Oriental-themed slot game. Instead, it offers unique mechanics and features to create a one-of-a-kind gaming experience that will provide top-notch entertainment for all who enter this panda world.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Fat Panda has a somewhat distinct structure with a layout of 3x5 and an extra row on top. The normal playing board consists of regular card royals symbols and premium symbols like coins, a fan, a drum, a lantern, and a pair of syces. A full line of premium symbols will gain you from 1x to 5x the bet.
The game has a 96.07% RTP, 20 fixed paylines, 5/5 volatility, and an impressive 20,000x max win. The extra row on top contains 4 different modifiers with exciting special effect:
- Add Wild: randomly places a Wild symbol on the reel beneath, enhancing the chances of creating winning combinations.
- Expand Wild: transform the reel below it into a full reel Wild if there is already one Wild symbol there.
- Add Wild Multiplier: bestow a multiplier to all Wild symbols on the reel below, ranging from 2x to 10x. The multipliers apply to all wins passing through them.
- Add Multiplier to all Wilds: add a random multiplier from 2x to 20x to all Wild symbols present on the screen. If a Wild symbol already possesses a multiplier from another modifier, the values of the multipliers multiply with each other.
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols awards 10, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively. During the free spins round, the top row remains active, and any wild symbols that land become locked in their positions until the end of the round.
Additionally, the top row contains an extra free spins modifier that grants 1 to 10 free spins, further extending the excitement when you play the Fat Panda slot. If someone doesn’t want to wait for this excitement, however, they can buy the standard free spins feature for 70x. There is another option of paying 300x to trigger a super free spins mode where 5 wilds will land on the first spin.
Roshtein’s Take
Fat Panda is an incredible slot that creatively uses the top reel modifier to its full potential. It adds an extra layer of excitement in the base game where every spin can be very different from the last. The free spins round doesn’t introduce much beside Sticky Wilds, but that is precisely because it doesn’t need to. The Sticky Wilds alone perfectly amplify every modifier’s value, often creating big winning combos. Overall, the slot is not just for panda lovers, but anyone who wants to try something new.
