Play Oriental Panda for Free

Blueprint Gaming is a UK company that has been producing slots since the mid-2000s. As well as featuring big branded tie-ins like Casper the Friendly Ghost, Blueprint also has a range of classic slots and more conventional 5-reel games in its collection.

The Oriental Panda video slot is well-established in the world of 5-reel games. It also boasts four rows, giving players the chance to cover even more paylines. There are 40 win lines in total, which is perhaps a little lower than we'd like to see in a 5-reel, 4-row slot. That said, the stacked wilds can compensate if you find yourself short on base game wins.

The free Oriental Panda slot machine can be played through a standard web browser on desktop. However, we found that using up-to-date Google Chrome was a big advantage when trying to load the game.

Coins in the game begin at just 0.01, and all paylines are fixed. A max bet of 400.00 will be enough to satisfy the high-limit gamblers, though. Your job is to hit enough of those lucrative stacked wilds to make a difference to your bankroll.

As in a lot of 40-payline slots played on 4 rows, the lower payouts in Oriental Panda are fairly poor. You are really banking on getting at least two winning combinations in a single spin to earn a meaningful prize.

The royal symbols are the low-limit payers. The 9, 10, J, and Q award from 5 to 100x your line bet, while the K and A earn you between 5 and 150x. The Chinese coin and pan pay a little better. Three, four or five coins or pans pay 20x, 50x, or 200x. The high-limit icons are familiar symbols in Oriental-themed slots. The carp pays 25x to 300x for three to five of a kind, while the pink lotus flower pays 25x to 400x.

Look out for the panda himself, though. He acts as the game's wild and will substitute for all regular symbols other than the bonus scatters. Wilds can, and do, appear stacked. They also pay a real cash prize. Three wilds will earn you 50x your line bet, four wilds will pay 200x, and five wilds will see you bag 500x. If you are a fan of slots with stacked wilds, this is definitely the game for you.

Oriental Panda boasts a simple free spins feature that is triggered by landing three or more Yin-Yang scatters anywhere in view. You will win five free spins to begin with, plus a value worth 1x your total stake. You can also retrigger the round by landing more scatters on the reels in any spot.

During the bonus round, you will notice a gold Yin-Yang symbol. While this is in play, a random symbol will be chosen to appear on every reel spot. This can lead to some pretty super-stacked wins for the player.

Blueprint Gaming isn't the first online casino provider to come up with a 4-row video slot. And when it comes to bonus games and action, Oriental Panda has some serious competition.

Top of the tree is Playtech's excellent bonus slot, Streak of Luck. The game is played on a 4-row, 5-reel set-up, and there are 50 paylines to play on. Bets start at just 0.01 a line as well. There are stacked wilds galore, and a free spins bonus feature to trigger. The beauty of the free spins round is that it can be activated simply by hitting four consecutive winners. These can be any size, so it is possible to trigger free spins with even the smallest winning spins.

Streak of Luck features an additional dice bonus where the player rolls two dice and wins real cash. But to top it all off, the slot boasts a progressive jackpot that is reserved for players hitting 60 free spins.

We can't talk about 4-row games without mentioning WMS's legendary Raging Rhino video slot. The game is played on 6 reels and there are a staggering 4,096 ways to win. Plus, stacked wilds add to the excitement. However, the real fun starts when you hit between 3 and 6 scatters on the reels. It is possible to trigger 8, 15, 20, or 50 free games on top of a massive 40,000-coin jackpot. When it comes to the best online slots ever made, Raging Rhino deserves a place on the list.

Oriental Panda might not be widely available online, but it has just enough action for the 40-payline fans out there. At 94.95%, the RTP is acceptable – if unspectacular, and the volatility is fairly low overall. There are certainly better Asian-themed games around, and better 40-payline ones as well. If you want a slot with four rows, stick to the ones we’ve recommended earlier in this review.

Give the free Oriental Panda slot game a try today to see what you think. With so many Chinese-themed games around, it has got to be on top of its game. Only a quick test will let you make up your own mind on whether Blueprint Gaming has got it right in this case.
