Lucky Panda Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

We are high in the mountains of China in Lucky Panda, an online video slot from game maker August Gaming. The player is in the company of our favourite member of the bear family, the bamboo-chewing Panda.

The game is played on a 5x4 reel set which generates 1024 bet ways which pay left to right. There is a wild symbol which appears on the centre reels and substitutes for all other icons apart from the scatter symbol in the shape of a lucky gold coin, which is a paying symbol with all wins added to any other paying lines.

The scatter symbol triggers a free games feature, which can be re-triggered and has a multiplier in action during this mode.

Apart from the scatter there are eleven other paying symbols. The top payers are the eponymous panda, koi, lotus flower, parasol and bamboo. These are supplemented by playing cards ranging from ace to nine.

Fans of this designer’s work will find other August Gaming demo slots to play for free here at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The mountainous regions of Minshan and Qinling form the backdrop to this cute game from August Gaming. Combining Chinese good luck symbols with the one of the nation’s most recognisable symbols, the icons are beautifully designed and colourful.

The reels are set in a golden frame, and the lush mountains stand out in the background. The dashboard is also colourful, but easy to read and understand.

The soundtrack is a lively Chinese tune featuring a selection of classic instruments.

Lucky Panda Review

This is a beautifully designed game from August Gaming, extremely easy on the eye, and with a theme tune which will keep the player engaged throughout.

In terms of the look of the slot, the designer might have brought in a bit more of the eponymous bear’s surroundings rather than the gilt around the frame or the parasol symbol, but we are being picky here, since the overall look is particularly good.

The betting spread is wide enough to attract players with varying bankrolls, and all of them will enjoy the multipliers in the free spins mode of the game.

Information on the RTP of the game is hard to come by, but we are happy to give it a slightly above average rating, and wins come along at the rate one might expect given the medium variance.
