Pandas are what happens when evolution gives up halfway and decides vibes are more important than survival. They’re basically black-and-white couch potatoes that eat one plant so nutritionally useless they have to chew it for 14 hours a day just to break even. If laziness were an Olympic sport, pandas wouldn’t compete. They’d sleep through the event and still somehow get a sponsorship deal because who doesn’t love a panda?

Unsurprisingly, the panda character in the Panda Fortune Rush slot from BGaming is munching on some bamboo, just hanging out. The question, however, is whether he is cute enough to carry the slot.

Welcome to the jungle

The Panda Fortune Rush slot from BGaming gives you a shot at winning up to $297,500. However, thanks to the humble 1,750x max multiplier, you’ll need to be betting $170 a spin to have a chance at that big win. If that’s a little steep for you, betting on the slot starts at just $0.10 per spin.

With medium volatility, the slot’s gameplay will have a balance between small, consistent wins and rare big wins. The slot’s theoretical RTP is 96.03%.

The Panda Fortune Rush slot is built on a massive seven-by-seven grid with a cluster pays mechanic that pays out whenever 12 or more of the same symbol appear on the reels.

On each spin of the slot, between 1 and 3 of the seven distinct symbols will feature a multiplier of 2x to 50x. If a multiplier symbol is part of a winning combination, its multiplier value will be applied to the winning amount.

This 12-symbol minimum is brought forward into the free spins trigger, requiring 12 scatter symbols to trigger a round. During a round of free spins, three of the seven symbols will each receive a multiplier value of between 2x and 50x, which will be applied anytime a win involving that symbol is struck.

In addition to squirreling away 12 scatter symbols, the slot also gives you a chance to purchase a round of free spins at a cost of 25x your bet amount.

Is the Panda Fortune Rush slot worth an epileptic fit?

The Panda Fortune Rush slot should be avoided if you’re at all suffering from epilepsy. Everything flashes and pulses and shines. It’s overwhelming. And for all that and the giant slot grid, it has a surprisingly slim feature set. Sure, the multiplier symbols are a great addition. B

ut there’s nothing that really grabs you and pulls you in. You’re just blasted with a million tiny lightbulbs trying to convince you that you’re having a good time. It feels like the flash thing from Men in Black, but far less effective. All in all, not one that I can recommend.
