Untamed Giant Panda Slot Review

Untamed Giant Panda is a 5 Reel, 243 Pay-line Video Slot from Microgaming software. You can play Untamed Giant Panda at online casinos such as Come On Casino, Bet365, Metro Play and RedBet Casinos. 243 pay-lines means that as long as you have matching symbols on adjacent reels (starting on the leftmost), then you have a winning combination.

Untamed Giant Panda is the third instalment in the Untamed series of video slot, following on from the very successful Untamed Bengal Tiger, Untamed Wolf Pack and Untamed Crown Eagle. The symbols you can expect to see on the reels include the Giant Panda, Baby Panda, Bamboo Forest and Mountain Range, as well as generic card symbols from Aces to Tens. The best-paying reel symbol is the Giant Panda, which is worth 150 coins for spinning 5 into an active pay-line. The Baby Panda symbol is the second best symbol and will be good for 131.25 coins for 5 matching symbols in an active pay-line. As you could probably expect with such small pay-outs, Untamed Giant Panda is a game of very low variance and wins tend to happen regularly but are rather insubstantial.

The Untamed Giant Panda Logo is a Wild which will substitute for all other symbols except Scatters to create winning combinations. The Wild will also lead you to the game’s top pay-out if you manage to land 5 symbols in an active pay-line. This will be worth 375 coins. There is also a Collect-a-Wild Feature and when 4 Wilds are collected under a reel, that reel will stay Wild for 4 Free Spins.
The Panda’s Eye symbol is a Scatter. If 3 or more Scatters spin in, you will have unlocked the Running Wild Free Spins Feature. This will result in 10 Free Spins being awarded and a string of Wild symbols being placed onto each reel. Naturally, this leads to the likelihood of greater wins and some big combos as you can effectively have Stacked Wilds on 2 or more reels at some points in the Free Spins Round.

Whenever you have a win, you can opt to gamble your winnings, as is possible in many slots. However, Untamed Giant Panda features a Wheel of Fortune-type Gamble Feature where you can change the odds on the gamble. The Wheel is broken up into a shaded part (Lose) and a light part (Win), but you can make these bigger or smaller. If the Win segment is small, the odds will be greater and the prize higher and vice versa.

The Return to Player (RTP) for Untamed Giant Panda varies between casinos, but generally around 96%, which is very much average value for a Video Slot. The Collect-a-Wild Feature is probably the best thing about the game, as you wait eagerly for the reels to turn Wild and bring in the winnings. Other than that, there is little to say about Untamed Giant Panda except that it is strangely compelling and definitely better than a lot of other games in the field.
