Pragmatic Play · 2017
Five reels and three rows, high volatility and a Chinese panda theme define Panda's Fortune from Pragmatic Play. This page covers its figures, modes and symbols.
On the 5x3 grid, a spin lands symbols from a Chinese panda theme: a butterfly, a purple guardian lion, a jade toad on coins, a koi fish, a bonsai tree, and the card symbols A, K, Q and J. A win starts with three matching symbols, the fewest that pay. Yin-yang BONUS symbols work apart from that rule: three or more of them trigger the free spins anywhere on the reels.
During free spins, Stacked Mystery Lantern symbols fill reels 2-5 and turn into random paying symbols, Wild included, at the end of each spin. Three or more BONUS symbols add more spins during the feature, and the Retrigger has no stated limit. Three fixed jackpots, GRAND, MAJOR and MINOR, sit above the reels, and up to 25 jackpots can be won per spin.

Three stages explained
Levelup Casino lists each feature with its trigger, so the rules are clear before you bet.
Three, four or five BONUS symbols start 8, 10 or 15 spins, paying 2x, 15x or 100x total bet. Stacked Mystery Lanterns on reels 2 to 5 turn into random paying symbols, WILD included, after each free spin. Three or more BONUS symbols during the feature add 5 more spins.
Base game spinFree spins
Three jackpots always show above the reels, and up to 25 can hit one spin. GRAND pays 800x total bet for five matching picture symbols on a payline, no Wild. MAJOR pays 200x total bet for five matching letters, no Wild. MINOR pays 25x total bet when Wilds substitute.
Any spinJackpot prizes
The base game is the normal state of play, on a 5x3 grid. Wins follow the paytable, at the bet you choose. Free Spins begin from here when three or more BONUS symbols land.

Panda's Fortune guide
This sequence shows what each round costs, what it can pay, and where you decide to stop.
The reels wait until you choose a bet from A$0.25 up to A$250 before the first spin. Jackpots and Free Spins awards are set as multiples of that total bet.
Symbols land on the 5x3 grid, and a win forms when at least 3 matching symbols land together. The paytable shows the payout for each symbol at a A$0.40 bet.
The base game reels carry Wild, Scatter and Gold Symbols, while 3 fixed jackpots sit above the reels, each paying a multiple of the total bet.
The reels trigger Free Spins when 3 or more BONUS (yin-yang) symbols land anywhere, and more symbols bring more spins and a bigger award.
The reels do not signal when to stop, so set your spending limit before the first spin. Nobody can know in advance when the bonus will come.
Each spin on the reels returns a share of the stake. Per A$100 staked, the return to player is the long-run average. The version this site runs appears in the game rules.

Panda's Fortune demo
Levelup Casino lets players test every reel before any money moves into play.
On the reels, the demo spins use no money and pay nothing; the real game needs a Levelup Casino account and you must be 18 or older.
Play for realYin-yang BONUS symbols land on the reels at random, so nobody can tell in advance how often the Free Spins will start. The result of one session is random as well, whatever the RTP is. The RTP describes the average return over a very large number of bets, not what one session pays.
Each spin on the reels is settled by the RTP version that Levelup Casino runs for this game, and that version is shown only in the game rules. Read those rules before the first spin to confirm which version applies to your session.
On the reels, several features can push one spin far: the Jackpot Feature, and stacked Mystery Lantern symbols that transform into a random paying symbol at the end of every free spin. The maximum win is still a ceiling, and a spin reaches it very rarely.
Ahead of the spin
You will have checked volatility, RTP and free spin triggers ahead of any stake.
Spins on the 5x3 grid of Panda's Fortune run at high volatility, which means wins are bigger but less often. A session can pass without a large win, so set your bankroll with that in mind. Volatility describes the spread of results, not the chance of a win.
Every spin on the 5x3 reels feeds a long-run return of 96.17 per cent, measured on A$100 staked. Only one RTP version is listed for this slot, so the figure applies to every bet size. The long-run return does not promise a win in your next session.
Reels that spin at the smallest bet, A$0.25, let you learn the Base Game and Free Spins for little money. Raise the stake only after you understand how each mode plays out.
Three or more BONUS yin-yang symbols anywhere on the reels start the Free Spins mode, and the count sets the number of spins awarded. During the feature, three or more BONUS symbols add 5 more spins, with no stated limit.
The legal age for this game is 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can self-exclude through BetStop.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and stop when that sum is spent.
Fix your stopping point before you start, and keep to it after a win as well as after a loss.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, and review them when your play changes.
If Panda's Fortune stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop before you return to the reels.
