Panda Money Megaways

Game Specifications

Slot Review

We are used to seeing the ‘hold and win’ during bonus rounds. But this slot makes it a key feature of the main game too, and that’s where cascades of winning combinations within a single spin come from.

Features

Panda Money is a fun and pretty simple Megaways slot machine with up to 15,625 win ways. There aren’t many Megaways titles being currently released as this engine is losing its momentum. But Big Time Gaming is still capable of pulling off a fun game that feels somewhat fresh. Central to the game is the Prize Builder engine. It’s an exciting way of triggering multiple winning cascades within a single spin.  Here’s how it works. Typically, what you see in slots with tumbles, is winning symbols disappear and give way to new symbols. But in Panda Money, winning combinations stay and drop to the bottom after the rest of the symbols are removed. Then a respin is awarded to potentially bring new combinations or improve the existing one.

Thanks to this engine, players will regularly have a series of respins. This just makes a game much more entertaining but often there won’t be too much improvement in terms of winnings. However, you will occasionally have some decent wins as a result.  Wilds initially appear only on a horizontal reel. But once the Prize Builder comes into action, they can very well drop to the main layout.

Bonus Game

Panda sleeps for the entire main game but wakes up for the bonus feature when it’s time to enjoy some more bamboo. This adorable creature will be fed bamboo shoots that appear randomly during the Prize Builder feature after non-winning symbols disappear. This plant is crucial for landing bigger wins as they upgrade the multiplier. For every five bamboos collected, you get +1 added to the multiplier.

To enter free spins, players must land at least 3 scatters. For each additional scatter players get +2 spins. The bonus game is pretty much similar to the main game with the only major difference being a progressive multiplier that can grow infinitely.

Feature Buy

There are other ways of triggering free spins. One of them is to pay 100x total bet and have 8 free bonus rounds. The same number of spins you can get for exchanging your 100x or bigger wins for a guaranteed feature activation.

When you win anywhere between 25x and 100x, then you get another alternative, which is taking risk and spinning a Fortune Wheel. The bigger the win that’s at stake, the more winning sectors that wheel will have.

Conclusion

Panda Money Megaways takes players to a beautiful quiet panda habitat. The gameplay isn’t overly complicated and has just the right set of features to appeal to the different categories of players. Its Prize Builder engine is a great alternative to traditional cascading reels and can produce some impressive win streaks.
