Pragmatic Play Continued The Panda Story

Having decided to focus again on panda bears, those funny animals that we love for their cute looks and funny habits, Pragmatic Play presented Panda's Fortune 2, a sequel to their original game that was released back in 2017. While the new title didn't get much better in terms of visuals, it does offer some exciting bonus features with a high winning potential. Since pandas live in China, we are dealing with an Asian-themed title that will show everything related to the Chinese culture and traditions. While cute bears are in focus throughout the game, there are a few other valuable icons spawning on the reels that you will be happy to see every time they hit the reels.

Although the game action takes place on the 5x3 playing field once again, we will see a bunch of creative symbols that look even more impressive. Panda's Fortune 2 offers 25 betlines to land high-paying combinations of matching icons. Here's some technical details on the new title:

	Game mechanics	5x3 playing field;
	Betting Range	from 0.25 to 125 Euro per spin;
	Maximum Payout	x5,000 of bet size;
	RTP	96.51%
	Volatility	High.

As in the original game, you will see card symbols, themed icons, and a few special symbols that are key to the bonus features of Panda's Fortune 2. In addition, Pragmatic Play decided to increase the RTP from 96.17% to 96.51% to offer even higher winning odds. Considering that the maximum prize in the game has been increased to x5,000, the developers have done a really good job. However, the bonus features of this title are something that deserves special attention.

The first thing that surprised us was the Golden Symbols feature, thanks to which each symbol has its own golden equivalent. Every time at least one matching golden symbol is part of a winning combination, the Golden Symbols feature becomes active. As a result, you will be rewarded with an additional payout multiplier, the size of which depends on the number of golden symbols in the combination (the more special symbols, the higher the payout ratio). In addition, Panda's Fortune 2 rewards with 12 free spins for a combination of 3-5 Scatters. Notably, before the free spins bonus round begins, the player will receive a direct payout worth x2, x15 or x100. The free spin round hides three jackpots of x1,000, x2,500 and x5,000 of total stake, respectively. Moreover, by landing at least three more Scatters on the reels in the bonus game, the player will be rewarded with an additional 8 free spins.

Overall, Panda's Fortune 2 is a decent game with simple game mechanics and a few awesome features (golden equivalents, free spins). Although the maximum prize has been increased to x5,000, the level of volatility has also become sky-high, which should be considered before playing this slot at high stakes.
