Panda Family Pokie
This is not the first, and undoubtedly it won’t be the last Panda-themed pokie ever. Better late than never, they must have thought at KA Gaming Studio, and made the smart decision to add the Panda Family pokie to their portfolio in 2021. People just can’t get enough of the furry animals and for good reason. They are intelligent, playful and sometimes clumsy. And with their black and white coat and sad eyes are just irresistibly cute. On these reels you will find two dressed-up adult Pandas and their dancing cubs, all four in shiny, colourful outfits.

The generic spinning in the main game takes place on a standard 5x3 grid, crossed by 25 fixed paylines and even the positive effect of the happy Panda-faces wears off after a while and no optimistic music or furry Yin Yang Swirly Wild (paid: 40x for 5OAK) can help chase away the dullness. It seems to be very difficult to get to the Bonus round, and once you reached it, there is no guarantee that the Mega Symbol feature will deliver even a single payout.
The bamboo, Pandas love to gobble so much has its own symbol, followed by 5 card suits at the bottom of the paytable, which unfortunately is very weak (the best paid regular icon pays 12x the total bet for 5OAK), i.e. more suitable for 243 or 1024 winways provision. On the flipside, all symbols (except Wilds and Scatters) can come Stacked. But then again, two more minor downsides - the family members are not easy to distinguish, and the music stops abruptly between the spins like with many other KA Gaming creations.
The Panda Family pokie machine is a Low-Medium Volatility game, that behaves like a high variance one, where you typically end up chasing your losses. The hit rate of a little over 29% is not bad, but not great either, especially considering the low pay values and low amount of paylines. The theoretical RTP of 95.55% (under today’s norm) is yet another drawback, just like the pathetic potential in the base spins (only 300x the total bet - of course on a sunny day, and with a full screen of the Papa Panda image).
The highest potential of the Panda Family pokie - 900x the total bet - is lousy, and the overall profitability is not worth any celebration. The stats are not very positive (for a 25-liner), and this combined with the elementary design already shows where this game is heading for - oblivion. All in all, this is one hoggish pokie, which we cannot recommend for sessions with real money.
If you still think these Pandas are irresistible, try the functionalities of the Panda Family pokie first in the DEMO mode on our page and then decide for yourself if you want to play for real at one of our featured casinos.
Bonus Features of Panda Family pokie
- Wilds - The furry Yin Yang represents the Wild and besides being paid (3/4/5 - 12x/20x/40x respectively), they substitute for all other symbols, except Scatters.
- Scatters & Free Spins - Landing 3 or more of the Panda Family Logo Scatter (paid: 3/4/5 - 5x/20x/50x respectively) will trigger 15 Free Spins (always), which cannot be re-triggered. In the case of 3 or more Scatters within the Bonus game, only the payout is granted. A Mega symbol might land on the middle 3 reels, increasing your chances of a Giant Panda win. In addition, some mysterious Multipliers might be applied in this Bonus mode.
