Undoubtedly some of the funniest videos online you can find are those with Pandas: being on a diverse bamboo diet, chewing all day long, becoming dormant and even cuter when it is cold. Remember those courageous cubs trying to climb the flimsiest bamboo branch?
If you didn’t see them, you better find those panda-hilarious clips (Smithsonian’s National Zoo). In the wilderness, they do that not only to catch the sweetest branch but also to protect themselves from being predators’ prey.
But don’t leave their teddy cuddly image to bamboozle you – they are but bears, so it is not advisable to squeeze one. We know that Pandas are protected by the WWF – World Wildlife Fund due to being classified as an ENDANGERED species with an estimated only 1600 individuals remaining in the wild.
In a consistent fashion with the rest of the sister games (in the Untamed collection) here, too, bettors will have the pleasure of an abundance of adrenalizing features: Wild symbols storing, Scatters nudging, and sticky Brilliant Wilds (in the bonus).

Personal testers’ opinion about Untamed Giant Panda slot
- If we have to choose 1 of the 4 Untamed games – we go for the Panda. That was the answer of all our team members. Understandable. We go even further: if we choose TOP 10 favourite Microgaming’s 243 liners, this game also fits the profile. Why? Not only that we like many attributes here, but we hit the amazing 662x the total bet in our first session (with real credits) at Fastpay Casino. It is one of the best experiences you can have in life: with a reasonable starting bankroll and a big dose of luck: getting half month’s salary within 10 minutes. We wish more players get this feeling at least once with this game!
- The hit frequency is not super high – statistically near 23%, but many low-rollers here will enjoy the ability to bet with only 30 cents per spin. During testing, we realize that the game is behaving equally with all kinds of bets. In the main game, you can expect many opportunities while collecting Wilds, doubling your win with the Gamble action and looking for Nudging move of the last Scatter. It is an elementary yet engaging play, not some annoying spinning.
- Although we got our hit via the Collecting Wilds feature in 1 base round (plus gambling it once), we obtained unimpressive cash in most of the other sessions while trying to fill the 4 cells above the reels. Plus, we found out: you lose your progress at your current stake when you change it—one more reason to keep at your optimal bet for the entire session. Like with the rest of the games in the series, the paytable here is low (except the Scatters ofc.), fitted to the 243 ways to win mechanics. Check the exact values here below:
All pros and cons considered, we remain fans of the Untamed Giant Panda online slot, and we strongly recommend it playing with real deposits. Only don’t go all-in – using the max bet. Better employ small stakes (0.60 and 0.90 CAD) and whenever you have a small win – check your luck with the Gambling feature (also don’t overuse it). As we stated, it is possible to gain 400x and over rewards with the Wilds here so, prepare with enough beginning funds and be patient. We can only leave naysaying advice to the bonus hunters, as this Panda slot is less predictable than the rest of the sister games.

Bonus Features
- Wild Collection – With each landing of a Wild symbol (Game Logo, which as usual the replacement for all icons excluding Scatters) during the main spins, the 4 bar indicator above the reel will light +1 bar. 4 such bars will turn that same reel completely Wild, and stay active for the next 4 spins.
- Free Spins
Once 2 Scatters are dropped on the grid, you can get to see the Nudge function in action with a little luck. It will budge a partial eye up or down, giving you a shot at the last bonus trigger. (Similarly, 3 eyes + a partial will deliver the 4th one before the bonus starts, and so on.)
3+ Scatters will set in motion 10 (always) bonus freebies with Brilliant Wilds in them. Once dropped on the reel, a Wild symbol will be sticky in its position till the remaining bonus spins. The best scenario is naturally if several Wilds drop simultaneously early in the bonus. However, the Free Spins cannot be re-triggered. - Gambling Function – The 2 area compass will give you a chance to play/jeopardize some portion of your win. This is one fascinating feature: lovely and addictive at the same time. So, be cautious with the risks you take.
