Emperor Panda

Overview

A small but powerful Panda is about to captivate the hearts of punters all around the world in the playful Emperor Panda Slot coming from the RTG slot list!

Take an adventurous trip to magical Chinese wildlife and join the pandas and their friends in an Asian-themed game set in the middle of a magical bamboo forest!

The game offers 5x3 reel set and 50 active pay lines for every single spin while giving punters the chance to earn up to 1,000x their stake. 

Besides, your trip through the impressive environment and nice prizes will be complemented by some extras that will help you in your quest, so...

...you will be faced with wild Panda symbols, Gold Paw scatters, Free Spins and the Emerald bonus with its expanding reels!

And What About The Theme & Symbols?

Aptly named, the game focuses on the most famous Chinese animals, with a beautiful Asian setting, as a punter will be taken to a misty serene bamboo forest, showing numerous thick plants in the background!

The semi-transparent reels show 9 regular symbols represented by A-9 royals in a bamboo pattern, as well as a tiger, red fox, monkey and a bird.

Of course, the panda is the Wild, while the game boasts two other special symbols - a Golden Paw and an Emerald!

The whole action is accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack that perfectly adds to the overall atmosphere of the game!

How Much Can We Bet?

If you want to explore this magical exotic life, you need to set your bets that start at 0.5$ and go up to 50$ per spin, which is a decent range that will appeal to all sorts of punters.

This medium volatile game is played across a 5x3 reel set, offering 50 bet ways, while you are required to have at least three symbols of the same kind to form a winning combo, and, when you do that...

...you have a chance of winning up to 1,000x the stake!

When it comes to symbols, Nine, Jack, Queen, King and Ace are the lowest-rewarding ones, paying from 3 to 80 coins, while the premiums are worth up to 800x the stake if you land five tigers!

The Wild symbol is represented by a panda and it appears on reels two through five, replacing all symbols except for the scatter!

What Special Features Can We Expect?

This attractive panda-themed release from Real Time Gaming boasts a few of exciting special features to help enhance the overall player experience!

To start off, there is a Free Spin feature that is triggered if you land at least three Scatters anywhere on the reels, and once that occurs, you will be awarded 6 extra spins, but also...

...a prize of 0.2x, 0.5x, and 100x the stake depending on the number of symbols that were involved in triggering the feature!

Plus, should three or more Scatter symbols land anywhere on the grid during the bonus game, you will be given an additional 3 extra spins.

But wait, there's more!

The title boasts a bonus within a bonus called the Jackpot Emerald Feature, or more precisely, Hold and Win!

This feature is triggered whenever you land 6 or more emerald symbols during the base or the bonus game, and when that occurs, those symbols become locked and remain there all the way to the end of the feature!

Here, punters are awarded 3 Respins for a start, but, every time a new emerald symbol appears, the number of Respins does not restart to 3 again, which is quite strange!

However, the reset does happen, but only when the appearance of Emeralds is in the corner positions, and when all 4 corner positions are filled, the reel set expands to become 6x3 in size!

Besides, the next time punters manage to do so will transform the grid into a 6x4 sized one, and then, after the third, to 8x4! 

The feature ends when no Respins are left or, you are lucky enough to fill the entire grid with emeralds!

The end of the feature will bring you either regular cash prizes or one of the regular jackpots – Mini, Minor, Major or Mega! 

What Is Our Conclusion?

There are lots of panda-themed releases, so it is difficult to stand out from the crowd, however, the developers at RTG gave their best to do that.

When it comes to graphics, this is a decent-looking game, crowded with beautifully created animals, and theme-designed playing card icons.

Besides, the feature pack makes sure to keep the game going, and the Hold and Win Jackpot feature really adds to the overall excitement, which may be higher than the one when you take a look at the maximum prize of 1,000x the stake.
