Panda Money is an odd name for a slot machine from Big Time Gaming. Odd or not we like what we read on the tin can. If you like Pandas, this slot might just be your cup of Joe.
The default RTP of Panda Money is 96.10% which can drop to 94%, so watch out. That also depends on which online casino you play the slot at.
The jackpot is 67,330x your stake and it’s a high variance slot. BTG caps the betting range from 20 cents to $12 per spin. Moreover, it has 6 reels with 2-7 rows offering up to 117,649 ways to win with Megaways.
The bonus rounds include Free Spins, Prize Builder, and Win Exchange. For a quick plod into the free spins, you can always buy them for a fee.
When we played the slot, the Hollywood blockbuster film, Kung Fu Panda flashed before our eyes. What appears to be a Panda’s house or village serves as the backdrop of the reels. That spices up the slot a bit as far as authenticity goes.
The volatility clocks a 9/10 on the Whizz’s slots scale therefore go easy on the cash. The bonus buy kicks up the RTP up a bit to 96.15%. You can play the slot for real money from 20 cents up to $12 per spin.
Yes, it’s a Megaways slot which means there is an extra reel with a maximum of 5 symbols. The maximum number of ways to win is 15,625.
The symbols on the reels are the low-value cards from 9 to Ace paying up to 0.25x for 6 matches. The High-value symbols are the flower, Khoi fish, butterfly, and ring.
Six matching symbols any position on the grid pays up to 1x your stake. The Wild Yin & Yang symbol only lands on the extra reels. Looks like BTG is already starting with its antics. They can land on the grid during the Prize Builder feature.

It can reach epic proportions and it starts at 1x. The Panda collects the Bamboo symbols when they pitch. The multiplier increases by 1+ for every 5 bamboo symbols the Panda collects.

How to Win Money Panda Money
The number of dead spins we got during the testing phase is alarming. Thank heavens we played the slot with free credits and not real money.
The game would have whooped our buts. Initially, we rated it a 9/10. After playing it we bumped it up to a 10’er, yes it’s that brutal!
Verdict: Panda Money Slot
Big Time Gaming seldom brings the goods home these days. We can’t remember the last time a decent slot came off their production line. When you see a bottle of tequila with a snake’s head in it, you know boy here comes trouble.
It’s pretty much the same scenario with the Panda Money slot. If memory serves us correctly out of the 100 spins we got 70 dead spins. There and then we decided not to play the slot for real.
Also, playing this slot is like a hamster running on a wheel – it’s going nowhere slowly. We eagerly await the next BTG slot to slate. Rather play Nolimit City’s newest release D-Day.
The studio crams it in with free spins and a bunch of bonuses that will make your head spin. The jackpot is 55,555x your stake along with a default RTP of 96.12%.
