Panda Magic Slots
Panda's Fortune is a 5-reel, 25-payline slot from Pragmatic Play. This game has a combination theme that revolves around both pandas and Chinese culture. The most-impressive thing about Panda's Fortune is that it gives you the chance to win up to 25 jackpots on any single spin. But how is this possible? Let's find out by discussing more about Panda's Fortune in this review.
Atmosphere and Symbols
Panda's Fortune takes you into a bamboo-covered forest. Pragmatic Play did an excellent job of creating a high-quality background that really makes it feel like you're in an Asian wilderness. You'll also hear traditional Asian music along with entertaining sound effects whenever you win. Symbols include a butterfly, dragon, tree, koi fish, frog, panda (wild), yin-yang (scatter), A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9. The panda is wild and substitutes for everything except the scatter symbol to form wins. But keep in mind that the panda only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. We just mentioned how the background looks really good. But Pragmatic Play did an even better job on the symbol graphics, creating 3D visuals that really bring each symbol to life.
Panda's Fortunes Special Features
The best thing about Panda's Fortune is that it's filled with potential jackpots. The three main jackpots include the Grand (800x total bet), Major (200x total bet), and Minor (25x total bet). Every symbol that we described earlier has a matching gold icon. And you need to get five matching gold symbols in a payline to win one of the three aforementioned jackpots. Here's how you win each of the jackpot prizes: Grand = 5 of either butterflies, dragons, frogs, koi fish, or trees with no wild symbols substituting. Major = 5 of either A, K, Q, J, 10, or 9 with no wild symbols substituting. Minor = 5 of a kind of any symbol with wild icons involved. The fact that jackpots can occur on any payline is why you can win up to 25 jackpot prizes on a single spin. One more feature includes free spins, which are triggered whenever you land three or more yin-yang scatter symbols. You'll also get a scatter payout along with your free games. Here's a look at what you'll receive: 5 yin-yangs = 15 free spins & 100x scatter payout. 4 yin-yangs = 10 free spins & 15x scatter payout. 3 yin-yangs = 8 free spins & 2x scatter payout.
Betting Options
The 25 paylines are fixed in this game. But you can adjust your coin size from $0.01 to $0.50, and coins per line 1-10. This makes the betting worth between $0.25 and $125 (max coin size & coins per line). Another option includes Autoplay, which keeps the reels spinning for anywhere between 10 and 1,000 spins. Other options include the ability to turn sound effects and music on/off.
Panda's Fortunes RTP
Panda's Fortune offers 96.17% RTP, which is above average for an online slot. The info screen states that Panda's Fortune is a high-volatility game. This means that payouts come less frequently, but you'll win a larger quantity of big prizes (hence 25 jackpots on each spin).
Final Thoughts on Panda's Fortunes
This game has a number of likable qualities, including good graphics, solid features, high RTP, and lots of jackpots. The latter is the most-notable aspect because Panda's Fortune offers up to 25 jackpots on any single turn. We also like the atmosphere and symbol graphics, which are some of Pragmatic Play's best efforts. Panda's Fortune doesn't have any big weaknesses. The only minor drawback is that both the panda and Asian good-luck themes have been done countless times. But Pragmatic Play did a really nice job here, so this doesn't feel like just any Asian-themed slot.
