With regards to the soundtrack, I quite enjoyed the poignant sounds of Chinese instruments with a modern upbeat twist on the audio of this game. The game has a very honest feature built in wherein you can see how much each symbol is worth when you adjust your bet however, you can’t do it in real time, you have to adjust the bet and then re-open the pay-table which can be quite frustrating for some players. What’s interesting about this game is that there is another icon which only takes its place on the reels during the free spins feature, this is the Fortune symbol. The panda has the power to replace every other symbol on the reels apart from the Scatter. It’s no surprise that the game’s Wild is China’s national animal, the panda, and the Scatter is the ‘Yin and Yang’ icon. Aristocrat’s low value playing card symbols also make an appearance in the game. The reels are set in bamboo casing deep in one of China’s bamboo forests and the icons are representative of the Asian country, them being the waterfall, pergola, lotus flower, a gold coin and gold ingot. It looks like a high quality game with some very colourful graphics and dandy animations – every now and again the game’s mascot, the panda of course, pops up to say hello from behind the spin button. What sets this game apart from all the other panda slots out there? Hands down, it’s got to be its particular free spins feature. In fact, Wild Panda by Aristocrat and Tropezia Palace’s, Panda Party are two extremely popular games which also take you on a journey to south central China with its theme.

Much like the Egyptian, Greek and Aztec themes, the panda concept is much overused in online slot machines today. They have even seized the gaming industry with several online slots taking on this theme. Those adorable black and white bamboo eating bears have taken the world by storm, especially since the release of ‘Kung Fu Panda’, the computer-animated action comedy martial arts film produced by DreamWorks, starring American funny man, Jack Black. ‘Nǐ hǎo’ to the brand spanking new Chinese themed free online slot by Ainsworth.
