Untamed - Giant Panda

Untamed - Giant Panda is a 243 ways Microgaming video slot that is part of the Untamed series of games. The game is very similar to the Untamed - Bengal Tiger slot with the only real difference being the free spin bonus which has "Brilliant Wilds" instead of the Trailing Wilds found on Bengal Tiger.

To get in on the action you are looking at playing at least 30 credits to have all ways active. You can choose from several coin sizes ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 which are selected by clicking the Bet indicator. You can play up to 15 times per way which makes for a 450 coin max bet. This comes in at between 4.50 and 22.50 depending on coin size.

The Untamed - Giant Panda symbol is wild and substitutes for everything but the scattered Eye symbols. Like most video slots the wild symbols are the highest paying with five coming in at 500 coins or 7,500 coins if you are playing the max of 15 coins per way.

The potential jackpots are even bigger as there are two ways to get a whole screen of wilds and the top pay on all 243 ways. After the top pay for the wild the rest of the five of a kind wins come in at between 200 and 50 coins at one coin per way. While these jackpots might seem low you can win these jackpots on a lot of different ways in a single spin.

The Collect a Wild feature is the first way to get a whole screen of wilds. Every time a wild appears on the screen one box below that reel is filled. Get a wild four times on the same reel and that whole reel becomes wild for the next four games.

Get really luck and get all five reels wild at the same time and you're looking at at least one spin of the jackpot on all 243 ways and a maximum four spins of the same jackpot. This makes for some serious pays with the jackpot even at the lowest bet level coming in at 121,500 * per spin.

The Eye symbols are the scatters on Untamed - Giant Panda. Getting tree or more activates the free games and getting two or more can activate the Lucky Nudge feature. If you have two or more Eye symbols and an Eye one position above or below the screen the Lucky Nudge bonus can shift one Eye on to the screen and trigger the feature.

Whichever way you trigger the free spins you win 10 free spins with Brilliant Wilds. There is no multiplier on the free games but the Brilliant Wild feature really increases the chance of getting some big hits on the free games. Every time a wild appears on the free spins that wild is held in position for the rest of the free spins.

Giant Panda has a gamble feature although it's not your standard red / black gamble. Instead the gamble feature is known as Your Gamble and is unique to Microgaming slots. The way it works is that you select how much you want to win and then spin the wheel. If the pointer lands on the green area you win the gamble.

Overall, Untamed - Giant Panda is a great looking slot with a range of bonus features and some huge potential jackpots. While it's not that different from Untamed - Bengal Tiger it does offer something new with the Brilliant Wild free spins. If you're a 243 ways slot fan then Giant Panda is definitely worth a look.
