About Dalai Panda
The Dalai Panda is a fun and exciting release from iSoftBet. The game is loosely based on the film Kung Fu Panda and is also themed on the Dalai Lama, as its name suggests. However, there are elements of Chinese luck woven into the game’s design. For instance, there are six reels and initially twenty-seven lines for you to play with here. Having a crack at the game will cost you at least 0.30 a spin, rising to 30.00 a pop. As you can see, Dalai Panda isn’t the most expensive game. However, while the game offers medium volatile action, it has a non-progressive jackpot best suited for a low variance slot release. Capped at 1,000x a bet, the Dalai Panda slot has a low non-progressive jackpot prize. We’d like to see a touch more generosity with this prize.
Special Features
There are six reels in this game, but they aren’t conventional. What you’ve got are two sets of 3x3 reels. You’ll note that a panda sits between the two sets of reels. This is important. At any point in the game, he may randomly grab a set of reels and drag them across to the other set, making an extended set of six reels. When the panda does this, he will create a 729 ways to win payline structure, significantly improving your chances of landing a win.
Also located on the screen will be wilds and bonus symbols. Wild symbols in Dalai Panda show up as green plants, and these can replace all icons save for bonus emblems. You’ve also got Yin/Yang symbols. These are the bonus icons mentioned above, and they can trigger instant cash prizes (of up to 33.33x your bet) and a free spin bonus.
Located below the reels is a gold pot. This is Dalai Panda’s Free Spins Bank. Any win acquired on both sets of reels (on the same spin) will see a free spin added to this pot. You’ll trigger the game’s free spin bonus once you land three or more of the Yin/Yang symbols on a spin.
Bonus Feature
Any free spins you have acquired in the Free Spins Bank are yours once the bonus round is triggered. During this round, each of those spins is going to be played out over the full 729 ways to win format. That’s not all you can pocket in this feature, though. At any point in the game, the Dalai Panda can introduce expanding wilds, extra wilds, or 2x multipliers into the mix. Bonus symbols can reappear on the reels in this round, too. Land at least two but up to six of them, and you can add as many as sixty extra free spins to your tally.
