- A nicely-designed game from Pragmatic Play
- The special reel can land unique symbols
- Big win potential and lots of good multipliers
The Asian-themed slot market is no doubt far too saturated, and it’s often hard to distinguish one of these games from the thousands of others. With this one, however, they’ve changed it up a bit and used cute pandas to make it more appealing, probably drawing some inspiration from the Kung Fu Panda movies. The graphics are sharp and the background is quite pleasing so I won’t complain too much. There are 5 reels to play on with 3 rows each, plus a top reel that we’ll soon discuss. Just aim for a win on the 20 pay lines by looking out for the following base symbols:
- 10
- Jack
- Queen
- King
- Ace
- Coins
- Fan
- Drum
- Lantern
- Crackers
There is also a wild symbol that substitutes for all others in a winning combination apart from the scatter. It’s shown as a panda symbol and it can appear on any reel.

Top Reel Modifiers. You’ll notice that above the regular set of reels there’s another reel. On this reel you can land either blanks of special modifier symbols:
- Add Wild. This will add another wild symbol below it when it lands.
- Expand Wild. If there’s at least 1 wild below this symbol, that wild will expand to fill the entire reel.
- Add Wild Multiplier. This adds a multiplier value up to 10x to all wilds on the reel below it, applying to any wilds that the wild is part of.
- Add Multiplier To All Wilds. This works in the same way as the one above, but instead adds a multiplier up to 10x to all wilds on the screen. If wilds already have a multiplier, the values multiply together.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols, giving you 10, 12 or 15 free spins, respectively. During the bonus, any wild symbols that land will stay in place until the end of the bonus. You can also land a plus spin modifier symbol on the top reel here, giving you up to 10 free spins for each one that lands.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the main bonus for 70x your stake. Additionally, you can buy a super free spins bonus for 300x your stake where on the first free spins, 5 wild symbols will land that also stay in place until the end of the bonus. They appear in random positions.
Conclusion
Fat Panda slot from Pragmatic Play is a great game from the popular developer that provides several extra modifiers through the top reel to make the base game more interesting and the free spins bonus in particular far more impressive. It works best here because wilds are sticky, meaning multipliers can be far more effective and this will help you achieve the maximum win potential up to 20,000x your stake. This, combined with a nice theme that’s a little different from the usual Asian slots and you’re onto a winner, so be sure to check this one out.
