We know. It sounds a bit crazy to write an entire feature on slots games that are based on Pandas – but we couldn’t resist.
Over the course of the past few months, we’ve realized that there are plenty of online slots games that feature Pandas as their main characters – and, this is a great opportunity to compare some of the top Panda slots in the online casino market.
Lucky Panda
Lucky Panda is an online slots from PlayTech, which features five reels and the All Ways format. ‘All Ways’ is a term coined by Playtech for a game that does not feature any paylines.
Rather than wagering on individual paylines, the player triggers up to 1024 potential ways to win simply by spinning the reels. When just one reel is activated, 64 ways to win are triggered. As each reel is triggered, the number of ways to win is doubled.
There is only one bonus round available in the Lucky Panda slots, which is a free spins game. Up to 15 free spins can be won, during which all wins are doubled. There is also a re-spin feature that awards near-miss spins with a second chance to win.
Untamed: Giant Panda
Part of Microgaming’s Untamed series, Giant Panda slots is one of the newer games on the market that is based on this animal. As such, Untamed: Giant Panda comes equipped with a wide range of bonus features that players will surely enjoy.
Like Lucky Panda, Untamed: Giant Panda does not have any paylines; however, the game offers up just 243 different ways to win. Microgaming compensates for this by offering the player several different bonus features.
Firstly, the compass symbol triggers the nudge feature. If two compass symbols fully appear on the reels and third partially appears, that reel is nudged so that the full symbol is revealed – triggered a bonus payout and the free spins game.
During the free spins game, sticky wilds are also triggered, allowing the player to cash in on even more generous prizes.
Which Game Is Preferred?
As it stands, there really isn’t one game that stands out as better than the other. They both offer up very different gaming experience. While Lucky Panda is a more cartoonish game with a classic gaming format, Giant Panda is a more realistic slot machine that caters to more modern players.
Giant Panda does seem more polished, but we can see the appeal of Lucky Panda as well. It is certainly worth giving both games a spin to see which one you prefer.
