Pragmatic Play has decided to make a sequel to their 2017Panda’s Fortune release . Simply called Panda’s Fortune 2, this follow-up game doesn’t deviate far from the original recipe. While the previous installment was set in a dense bamboo jungle, this version comes with a beautiful mountain landscape in the background.
The bamboo panda is still the wild symbol, and the game is still about landing golden symbols to win jackpot prizes. However, the jackpots have increased greatly since the first game, and the 5,000x potential is pretty solid. However, we hardly think that this game will make much of an impact in the West, as it is clearly aimed at the Asian market.
Bonus Features on Panda’s Fortune 2 Slot
The panda serves as a wild symbol and can land on all reels except the first one. The Panda wild substitutes for all regular payout symbols to help you form winning combinations. All symbols except the scatter have a special golden version. The golden symbols differ from their regular siblings in only one way, they can trigger the jackpot cash prizes.
With at least 1 golden symbol involved in a win of 5 equals, you will receive a random cash prize between 5 times and 4,998 times your bet . A golden wild involved in a win of 3 or 4 awards 3 times your bet prize. Premium golden symbols involved in a 3 or 4 win award 2 times your bet money prize, while low value symbols award you 1 times the prize for the same. The cash prizes come in addition to the regular payout.
You win 12 free spins if you land 3, 4 or 5 of the Yin Yang scatters anywhere in sight. This also grants a scatter payout of 2x, 15x or 100x your bet . All golden symbols that land during the bonus round leave a sticky golden tile highlighting the position. Only golden symbols land in the highlighted positions, and you win +8 extra spins if you land more than 3 scatters during the feature.

Rating Conclusion
Games like this are designed for a specific segment of players, and indicate that this is not your typical western player. Panda’s Fortune 2 is pretty similar to the original game, but the 5,000x potential as well as the top jackpot prize have been increased significantly. Visually, it also looks a bit more modern, but it doesn’t escape the generic Asian slot atmosphere, which is unlikely to appeal to a Western audience.
The golden symbol jackpot system may seem a bit more complicated in this sequel, but you basically need a golden symbol for a win of 5 equals to reach the 4,998x jackpot. This adds some excitement to the feature, but needless to say, you won’t win big most of the time. Fans of Asian style slots may want to try this one out, but for most Western players it will probably go completely unnoticed.
Pros
