Pandamania Slot Machine
Pandamania is a 5 reel, 25 payline slot from NextGen Gaming. This zany and colourful game sees pandas go mad with 3 bonus features including random wilds in the base game and Free Spins feature. The free spins game can give you up to 20 free spins with all wins doubled and the Pick Me Bonus feature can give you up to 60 times your stake. It’s also available to play on mobile and tablet devices.
How to Play Pandamania ?
Pandamania has a standard NextGen interface that’s easy to figure out. To spin the reels manually, click on the big green button in the bottom left corner. Next to it are the autospin and the gambling buttons. In the bottom left side of the screen is where you can set your bet value, as well as the number of active paylines. Clicking on the “i” icon opens the game’s menu with all the rules and symbol details.
Symbols
The symbols which reward you the least are playing cards – 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. Next are the cart and the ice cream. These all pay out when you land at least three of a kind in a combination. The high-value symbols are the zoo tickets and a tied up zookeeper. The ‘PandaMania’ sign is the scatter, the panda is the game’s wild, and the padlock is the bonus symbol. The wild replaces all other symbols in a combination. All high-value symbols, including the special ones, pay out when only two of a kind land in a combination.
Features
On every spin, you will have a chance of triggering a random Escaped Panda feature. The panda will cycle in front of the reels and turn one or more symbols into wilds.
If you land at least three scatter symbols, you will be rewarded with 10 free spins. The Escaped Panda gets triggered more often during this feature. You can also get additional free spins if you get three more scatters to appear. All the wins during the free spins will be subjected to a 2x multiplier.
The padlock bonus symbols appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4. If you’re lucky enough to land all three of these symbols in a single spin, you will unlock the Pick Me Bonus. The game will highlight the padlocks that you can then click on. One of the following prizes will be awarded:
• A single cash prize
• A cash prize with the chance to pick again
• The “Win All” prize
Of course, as it is the case with most NextGen games, you will also have an optional gambling feature. This gives you an opportunity to double or quadruple each winning spin. Click on the heart/club icon to activate the option and try to guess the right card colour or suit. You will have the limit of five correct guesses.
Special Symbols Trigger Bonuses
The two special symbols on the reels are a Pick Me icon, and Pandamania scatter. The Pick Me icon appears on reels 2, 3, and 4, and obviously, is a key to the Pick Me bonus. These types of Bonuses are always a treat as all you need to do is pick symbols and win instant cash prizes.
Finally, the main attraction of the slot is the Free Spins Bonus triggered by landing three or more Pandamania scatters on the reels. The Bonus awards 10 free spins with all wins being subject to 2x multiplier! This means that if you unlock the Pick Me bonus from free spins, the instant cash prizes will also be doubled. Anyhow, the panda appears more frequently on his bike providing you with more wilds on the reels. This combination of numerous wilds and 2x multiplier provides great winning chances for you during the free games.
