When you first see the title of this release, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's the name of a local Chinese restaurant. And whilst that is likely true, it also happens to be the case that Fat Panda is another Asian-themed online slot from the famed developer Pragmatic Play that is jostling for position in a very crowded niche of games. So how does it shape up on the stat front? Well, this 5-reel slot comes with a total of 20 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96.07x, and a maximum win of 20,000x bet.
The game focuses heavily on one prominent feature, which is the Top Reel with Modifiers. This reel can potentially be in play on every spin in the base game and bonus round, and if a modifier symbol appears simultaneously with a wild, then one of four special actions will be applied to it. Things get more interesting if at least three scatters hit and the free spins are triggered. During this round, all wild symbols that land on the reels will become sticky and remain in place for the duration of the bonus.
Right, I'll have a 43, 27, and 62, please mate. Oh yeah, it's not a Chinese, is it? I forgot. Don't make the same mistake as me and see what the game has to offer in our free demo slot of Fat Panda; it's ready for you to try below without a chicken chow mein in sight.

There are dozens upon dozens of Asian-style slots you can play online, with Pragmatic Play and SG Gaming probably being the most prolific top-tier game developers who continue to dip their toe in and out of this genre. I think if I had to pick a top three must-play slots within this niche, they would all come from Pragmatic, so off the top of my head, I'd recommend Starlight Princess, Floating Dragon Megaways, and Mystery of the Orient if you're looking to add a little Asian persuasion into your current selection of games. So, can Fat Panda push its way into a Demoslot recommendation? We're about to find out.
We'll begin, as always, at the paytable, and the highest value symbols are the golden ingot and panda, both paying 5x bet for a five of kind win, with the panda also doubling up as the wild and substituting for all regular symbols. Next is the lantern worth 2.5x for a completed line of five, followed by the drum at 2x, the fan at 1.5x, and the packet and coins paying 1x bet if five hit across a payline. Heading down to the low pays, we have five royal symbols in play, with the Ace paying 1x, the King and Queen 0.75x bet, the Jack at 0.6x, and finally, the Ten worth 0.5x for a five of a kind hit.
It's business as usual for Pragmatic regarding the betting range on Fat Panda, with the minimum stake starting at €0.20 a spin and reaching a maximum of €100 for those with plenty of money to burn. As always, there are a vast amount of options between these values, giving you more choices to play with than you could shake your Chinese takeaway menu at.
Fat Panda shapes up for its gameplay across a 5x3 matrix totalling 20 active paylines in play on every spin. Land at least three matching symbols starting from left to right, and the win will be credited to your balance accordingly.
Along the top of the main reel set is an additional horizontal reel featuring blank spaces and modifiers. If a wild symbol appears on the reel beneath a modifier, then one of the following actions will occur, depending on which modifier has rolled into view.
The panda paw bonus scatter symbols appear on every reel, and landing 3, 4, or 5 will award you 10, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively.
Whilst the free spins feature is in play, the top reel remains active throughout. Furthermore, each wild symbol that lands on the reels will become sticky and stay in place for the remainder of the bonus. Players may also win extra spins if the scatter symbol hits, randomly awarding between 1 - 10 more spins.
Those who can utilise the bonus buy menu have the following two options to choose from.
It's always hard to get excited by an Asian-themed slot, as one, there are so many of them, and two, they rarely step outside of a very generic setup of symbols.
It was also a little disappointing, to be honest, to see the max win of 20,000x bet. Whilst this will please those who may love the game, I can't help but feel a jackpot this size could have been used on some of Pragmatic's better games where they only have a 5,000x max win.
Fat Panda is going to be a miss from me, but by all means, try out our demo; your opinion could very well differ from mine.
