Happy Panda is an Asian-themed slot by software developer NetEnt. The slot has plenty to offer, such as falling wild respins, double wins, expanding wilds, free spins, two fixed jackpots and a progressive jackpot.
About the slot
Happy Panda is a five-reel, 20-payline progressive slot available across all devices from 20p up to £100 per spin. The transparent reels are framed with bamboo and set in the middle of a bamboo forest. Symbols include the Jack to the Ace royal cards, ducks, koi carp and bamboo trees; the latter is the most valuable, and landing five on a payline awards 80x. The Happy panda is the wild symbol, and the scatter is the lotus flower.
Gameplay
The falling wild re-spins feature triggers when at least one wild lands on the reels. The wild symbols move down one row after each respin until they disappear from view.
The Gift of Double Wilds comes into play if a wild symbol lands behind another wild. It expands to cover the entire reel and moves down one row after each re-spin.
Landing 3, 4 or 5 of the scatters awards 5, 8 and 12 bonus spins respectively. The falling wild re-spins trigger if a wild transforms into a fully wild reel.
Landing three or more paw print coin symbols activates the jackpot feature. The coins lock on the reels, each worth up to 200x. Filling one row with paw print symbols awards the Minor jackpot worth 20x. Filling two rows awards the Major jackpot worth 200x. By filling all three rows, you win the progressive jackpot, starting at £10,000.
Happy Panda is an enjoyable game with quality graphics and animations. The Asian music fits well with the theme. If you fill the reels with bamboo trees, wilds, or both, you can win up to 1,600x the bet. But the jackpots are the crown jewels here. This is a medium-variance slot with an RTP of 96.64%.
