Betting Options and Bonus Features
Panda's Fortune 2 is a colorful slot with many symbols representing luck and wealth in Chinese culture. The pink butterfly is the top symbol carrying the prize of 8x your total bet when you land five of them. With 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines, the base game of Panda's Fortune 2 is straight to the point without many fancy extra features.
The RTP is decent at 96.51%, and on top of that, Panda's Fortune 2 has 3 non-progressive jackpots, the biggest of which pays almost 5000x the stakes. You'll notice that sometimes symbols appear in golden frames, these golden symbols can help you win special prizes:
- Any golden symbol in a 5-of-a-kind combination will grant you a random prize ranging from 5x, 10x,15x, 20x… all the way to the 3 jackpots: Minor 1000x, Major 2500x and Grand 4998x.
- For each golden Wild in a 3 of a kind or 4 of a kind, players get 3x their bet.
- For each golden symbol in a 3 or 4 of a kind combo, you get 1x for a low symbol and 2x for a high symbol.
Two essential symbols to China act as the wild and scatter: the panda symbol replaces any normal symbols on the reels while landing 3,4 or 5 yin-yang symbols awards an immediate 2x, 15x or 100x along with 12 free spins.
In the bonus spins round, each time a golden symbol lands, it will leave the spot locked in gold so that only golden symbols can continue landing there. What’s more, 3 scatters in the bonus round can trigger 8 more free spins.
Roshtein's Verdict
The base game in Panda's Fortune 2 is pretty stale, and it tends to eat a lot without paying out much. But the bonus round seems much easier to get than other slots, and as well as gaining bonus spin winnings, the locked golden spots make scoring a jackpot more likely - so that's nice.
That being said, games like Panda’s Fortune 2 are so common that it’s hard to be excited about them. The max win being only 5,000x doesn’t help. And although the jackpots look real nice, it’s so rare to get your hands on one; some would say too rare.
