PANDA MANIA

About Pandamania™ Video Slot

Next Gen gaming has a good, as well as long-standing reputation in the online gambling industry. They have been designing video slots as well as all kinds of online casino games for some time, and Pandamania™ is one of the latest from their stables. It is a fun game to slot, in a five reel, twenty five pay-line format. There is a top in-game prize of 3 000 coins for lining up the highest paying icons on the reels.

Special Features

Themed at the zoo, Pandamania features as Panda as the protagonist. This panda bears a huge resemblance to Kung Fu Panda, so, don’t be surprised if you recognise him. Five reels are set into a backdrop of the zoo, with all the appropriate accessories in place. A waterfall, a do not feed the animals sign, cages, ice-cream cart, balloons, blue skies and fluffy white clouds rolling by. Sound effects include birds calling and tweeting (yes birds did it before Twitter did), and everything is good in the world. Until….

Symbols include a tied-up zookeeper, admission tickets, sweets, ice-cream, candy floss, balloons, Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Nine card indices. The wild icon is presumably the cause of all the pandemonium – a cute bicycle riding, balloon toting panda who has escaped from the zoo. We are not quite sure if we are expected to aid his attempt at going MIA, or help the zookeeper get him back, but feel the former is probably more likely. The Wild Panda substitutes for all other icons, as well as doubles wins when he substitutes.

A wide coin range features in this slot game – starting at 0.01, and increasing up to 2.00, with loads of choice in-between. Lines may be activated or de-activated on an individual basis so that players are able to choose how many lines they wish to play. We always think it is more fun to play all of the lines, and just use a lower coin size to fit in with playing budget.

Bonus Features

There are two bonus games in this slot. The first is triggered by the “Pandamania™ icon, when three or more of these land on the reels. This offers ten free games with prizes doubled, and where the escaped Wild Panda appears more regularly. Instant bonus prizes are also available when the “Pick Me” scatter icon drops on the reels. For the Pick me game to be triggered this icon must drop onto reels two, three, and four, where-after making a selection, an instant prize will be revealed.
