If you love pandas, you’re going to love this slot game. Detailed, packed with pandas, and featuring some impressive twists and turns as well, it brings you everything you might want from a good slot. Pandas Go Wild shows you just what these creatures get up to when the world isn’t watching. Our review fills in the gaps and gives you all the details you’re looking for before you play the game.
A few details about the developer
This game can be found at Bovada Casino, and it qualifies as one of their own titles, rather than being developed by an outside software provider. That gives you a reason to consider joining the casino to get access to this game.
You can try a demo version of Pandas Go Wild if you wish
This is a good idea, as it works identically to the real version. The only difference is that you’re not spending your own money to play the game. You can safely test it with demo credits instead.
We guess you can work out the theme
With pandas featuring in the title, you would certainly expect them to feature in the slot itself. They do, getting up to some playful activities as you get on with spinning the reels. They’re in their natural habitat here too.
Pandas Go Wild uses an attractive design
There’s a lot of detail in this game, something we think always makes a good game even better. Check out the backdrop, giving you everything you might expect to see there, including bamboo and sunshine filtering in through the trees.
Special icons and other features to note in Pandas Go Wild
Let’s start by revealing that there are five reels in action here. Each of those stops spinning to show three symbols in view. The game hasn’t added any progressive jackpot prizes though.
The game uses three special symbols, as follows:
• Wild icon – this is a red carp, appearing on all the reels but taking on a special role on the middle one (read on to learn more about this)
• Free spin icon – this is a lotus flower
• Bonus icon – this is shown as a few pieces of bamboo
All the special symbols are marked, with the latter two in our list above behaving as scatters. This means you need only find the required amount; it doesn’t matter where they land.
Paylines present in Pandas Go Wild
The paylines reach 20 here, so they are quite easy to cover as you place your bets.
Speaking of bets…
We think most players are going to find a suitable wager to get started with in this game. However, as always, it is important to consider the coin values available and to see how these might tally with your available budget.
Is there a paytable?
Yes, and it has been divided into sections that cover each portion of the game you might encounter. We recommend you review every area of the paytable before you begin, assuming you haven’t played the game before.
More about the game’s bonus features
One neat bonus involves the wild whenever it appears on the third reel. When this happens, it expands to show a larger carp swimming around. It then freezes where it is while the other four reels go through a re-spin. Could you secure a prize from this? It’s possible… and since the re-spin is free, it’s worth watching closely.
We know there is a bonus symbol in this game, and it should show up three times to trigger the bonus round. When this happens, you will find yourself playing a picking game. Three items are shown in each of three rounds, covering some bamboo, some fish, and lotus flowers. Choose one in each round and discover what your total multiplier value is at the end. This is multiplied by the wager that triggered the bonus.
There are free spins available too
The lotus flower is the key to winning these. Three must appear in any combination of positions to award 10 free spins. Everything won is doubled in value, so it could be a good round to reach if you can. A retrigger is also possible if you can find another set of three lotus flowers.
What is the return to player value for Pandas Go Wild?
This is not yet known, so we’ll update the RTP section when it becomes available to share.
Does this game get a good rating from us?
If you would call 9 out of 10 a good rating – and we would – then yes, it gets a good result. There’s plenty involved in this game, and combined with a good design, it’s a delight to play.
Winners could get up to 500x their wager
This would be payable if you found five pandas hanging upside down, but of course they would all need to appear on the same paid line for the prize to be triggered.
Can you play for entertainment only?
Yes, absolutely, Bovada does give you this option. It’s a good game and you may find you’re not worried about playing for real.
Depositing members of Bovada can play for real too
This is a strong game and one that has lots of features to appreciate. You may end up being quite happy to go ahead and play the real version for a shot at some cash prizes.
Mobile opportunities are available too
If you’d rather play on your iPad or iPhone or maybe even an Android mobile device, this game has been developed to make it possible to do just that.
