3 Fortune Pandas Slot Review

Imagine having to eat for 12 to 16 hours a day. I know y’all have seen some humans who live that life, but it’s not like that for most of us. Pandas, on the other hand, eat almost constantly.

The reason pandas eat so much is that they chow down on plants, but they actually have the digestive tract of a carnivore, which isn’t well-suited to their current eating habits. So that puts paid to any creationist ideology – pandas were definitely not created perfect.

But we’re not going to get into that debate here. We’re going to apply a magnifying glass to 3 Fortune Pandas slot from Netgaming to see if it can make us some money. Spoiler alert: this is one of the worst games (from a stats perspective) I’ve seen in a while.

Gameplay

I’m not sure how I feel about this game. After all, pandas are notorious for being so lazy that they don’t even want to shag to ensure the continuity of their species.

The aesthetics of 3 Fortune Pandas slot is lively and very colorful. There’s a Panda to the right of the 3x3 grid, looking like it’s all decked out for a day at the beach.

The mobile version looks amazing. The colors pop, the symbols are large, as are the controls – everything is as it should be. There are no customizable features when playing on a mobile device; you can only toggle the sounds on/off, and use Turbo Spins.

The paytable is straightforward and three-of-a-kind of the following symbols results in some money in your pocket: a Golden Ingot pays 10x, Red Envelopes and Bamboo Pot Plants both award 7x, and the calabash-kinda thing rounds things out at 5x.

In terms of the machinery that makes this game work, we have 5 paylines, the volatility rate is high, the max multiplier is 1,383x, and the max win is $414,900. All currencies are available for betting.

Now for the worrying part. NetGaming has the following info listed on their website (hey, at least they didn’t bury it somewhere): while the overall RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

The only option, then, is to use the Buy Bonus, as that has an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage.

Features

GUARANTEED WILDS:

The Panda Wilds are where things get interesting. There are three color-coded versions, each tied to a specific reel and function.

Blue Wilds lands on reel one and awards a mystery cash prize (1x to 10x); Purple Wilds appears on reel two and expands to cover the entire reel; Green Wilds shows up on reel three and slaps a 3x multiplier on any win.

If two or more Wilds land at once, their features are combined.

FORTUNE SPINS:

Landing three Wild symbols anywhere on the grid triggers Fortune Spins, awarding 3 Free Spins, but it’s possible that landing even a single Wild can randomly trigger the feature.

During Fortune Spins, at least one Wild is guaranteed to appear on each spin. This mechanic keeps the volatility punchy and ensures you’re not staring at dead spins while your feature bleeds out. The three Wild types retain their reel-specific functions that I mentioned a few minutes ago.

BUY BONUS:

Pay a mere 50x for immediate entry into the Free Spins round.

Performance

It took slightly longer to load the game on my phone than I’m accustomed to, but we’re talking seconds here, not minutes. Other than that, it was all good in the hood.

Maximum Win

The max multiplier is 1,383x, which is appalling for a highly volatile game. The max win is $414,900 but that would come about because you’re pumping $300 per spin into the game. The smallest bet you can place is $0.10.

Conclusion

I think you might have an idea of what I’m going to say about 3 Fortune Pandas slot – it’s abysmal. The base game RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

is ruinous; it clearly forces us to use the Buy Bonus constantly.

The three-Wild system might seem cool and helpful with preventing dead spins, but when viewed in the context of the hostile math model, it becomes irrelevant. To make matters worse, the max multiplier is shockingly low, considering the risk we’ve been asked to take.

And then there’s the fact that you only get 3 Free Spins so yeah, this game has more issues than Vogue magazine. Personally, I’d avoid it like the plague.
