Game Overview

If Asian slots are your thing, you’ll want to keep reading, as that’s precisely what we have in store for you in today’s review. This time, on the online slot merry-go-round of themes, we have BGaming and their Book of Panda Megaways slot, which is a 6-reel game featuring up to 117,649 paylines, a high RTP of 96.95%, and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.

With regard to the features of the slot, the base game is a little dull and offers nothing more than the hope of landing a substantial Megaways win, but things do at least get a little more exciting once three or more scatters land to trigger the free spins bonus. Before it begins, you’ll be awarded a random symbol from the paytable, which acts as your expanding symbol in the bonus round. There is nothing particularly new there then, but the feature also includes multiplier wilds, and the total of their values will be applied to any wins gained on the spins they appear on the reels.

Yes, it might be another “Book of” game, but we have the extra appeal of multipliers in the bonus round, which could make for some interesting gaming. Interested? Then why not fire up the Book of Panda Megayways slot demo, it’s available for you to play below.

It amazes me at times that slot providers continue to develop “Book of” slots. I mean, how much choice do players need? Surely every possible variation has now been covered, hasn’t it? There’s the iconic Book of Dead slot from Play’n Go, for example, and all of the games which followed in its series. Then we have versions with ultra-high RTP in the form of Relax Gaming’s Book of 99 slot, and we even had a provider taking a dig at the niche itself with Arcadem’s Book of Insert Name Here slot, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about the expanding symbol collection of games. However, we find ourselves here again, and definitely not for the last time, ready to dive into the details of BGaming’s Book of Panda Megaways slot.

As always, our next port of call is the paytable, and the highest paying symbol in the game is the Panda returning 10x bet for a completed line of six. Next is the Monkey, worth 5x, followed by the Lotus Flower at 2x and the Paint Brush at 1.5x. Onto the low pays, we have five royal symbols in play with the Ace, King and Queen sharing payouts of 1x bet, and the Jack and Ten both awarding 0.5x bet for a winning combination of six. The Wild symbol in the game is the Scroll, and as well as substituting for all other symbols, it also doubles up as the scatter.

BGaming’s Book of Panda Megaways slot features an impressive bet selection, which begins at just €0.10 a spin and reaches a maximum of €25. There are over 15 other options to play at within this range, and I was pleased to see many of these price points under the €2 mark.

The wild/scatter symbol can only land on reels 2 through 6, and if 3, 4, or 5 appear in view, the bonus round will be triggered, and 12 free spins will be awarded.

Free Spins Feature

Before the spins begin, a random symbol will be awarded from the paytable to act as your expanding symbol for the duration of the bonus. If this lands on at least three of the reels, it will expand to cover them entirely, and you’ll be paid the win over the amount of active Megaways on that spin. Furthermore, during the feature, the wild/scatter gets a random multiplier of x2, x3, x5 or x10. If a winning spin is made whilst these are in view, their values will be added together and applied to the total win value for that spin. Additional spins can be awarded by landing 3 or more scatters in view whilst the bonus is in play.

Bonus Buy

Activating the bonus buy button will present you with the following two options.

  • 100x Bet: Will award any symbol from the paytable.
  • 150x Bet: Will only award a premium value symbol.

Pros

  • High RTP.
  • Multipliers in the bonus round can increase the size of your win drastically.

Cons

  • Another book themed slot.

Book Of Panda Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

Whilst Book of Panda Megaways may be another slot game added to the ever-growing niche of expanding symbol slots, it does at least offer something slightly different with the multiplying wilds in the free spins feature.
