Let’s find out more about this game!

Design, Gameplay & Features

This visually stunning game is inspired by all things panda. You’ll notice bamboo leaves all over the place, as well as several cute and fluffy symbols that pay tribute to the popular animal.

Panda’s close relatives — red pandas — are also included on the reels. In fact, the panda, red panda, and purple flower are the three highest-paying symbols in the game, whereas clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds are the low-paying symbols. If you manage to make a cluster combo that consists of 30 pandas, you will receive a 10,000x win.

The game also includes several great bonus features. If you land three or more yin-yang (scatter) symbols on the reels, you’ll start the bonus round where you can receive 9 to 12 free spins. Landing additional scatters can help you extend the bonus round with more free spins.

As you progress through the free spins, low-paying symbols will be disabled one by one. After the third spin, diamonds will no longer appear on the reels and hearts will disappear after the fifth spin. Clubs will no longer be available after the seventh free spin, and you’ll be able to play only with high-paying symbols from the ninth spin onwards, which paves the way for creating big wins.

Perhaps one of the most interesting features is Spawning Wild — it randomly adds wild symbols to your grid, creating more opportunities to win big prizes.

Finally, the game offers a Sticky Win Re-Spin feature, which is triggered randomly during the base game. Essentially, when you make a winning combo, all the symbols that are part of it will remain in the grid, while the rest will spin once again. This means you can create even more combos that lead to bigger wins.

Final Verdict

Wilds, scatters, free spins, re-spins — you name it, Panda Playtime has it all. The team at Dragon Media did a fantastic job of creating a modern online slot with a non-standard grid structure and the cluster pays feature, which can lead to hefty prizes (up to 10,000x your initial bet). Moreover, the designers did a great job of making the game entertaining and immersive, letting you feel the presence of the cute black and white bears.
