3 Fortune Pandas: Follow the Lucky Panda Trio Through the Bamboo Shrine for 1,300x Payouts

3 Fortune Pandas by NetGaming brings you to a Chinese shrine, where you’ll be greeted by pandas rather than monks. They may look cute and harmless at first glance, but these pandas are your main guides if you want to chase the 1,300x max win and wild multipliers in the base game.

This is a classic-themed video slot with a three-reel, three-row grid and 5 fixed paylines. On the reels, you’ll see bamboo vases, gold ingots, calabash bottles, and three different pandas acting as wilds with unique features. The RTP is set at 94.43%, which sits below the industry standard of 96%. The volatility leans high.

During my visit to this sakura-blooming shrine, I was landing wins every 8 to 9 spins, with an average return of around 4x to 5x my bet. The wilds are the real highlight here, as three different wild types work in your favor. The first is the Mystery Wild: it lands on reel 1 and awards a mystery reward ranging from 1x to 10x of your total bet.

The second is the Expanding Wild. It lands on reel 2, expands to cover the entire reel, and then the win is awarded. This one appeared most often during my session. Last but not least is the Multiplier Wild. It lands on reel 3, and a 3x multiplier is applied to all wins.

If you land two or more wilds at the same time, their features combine. Any of these wilds can also randomly trigger the bonus round. When I hit the bonus, it awarded three spins and returned 52x my bet.

If the bonus doesn’t show up, you can opt for the Bonus Buy feature at 50x your bet. I didn’t use it, and I wouldn’t strongly recommend it, but if your bankroll allows, you can consider trying it.

In the end, 3 Fortune Pandas is easy to understand and not overloaded with extra mechanics. The three wild features clearly drive the gameplay. However, over longer sessions, the combination of low RTP and high volatility is not the most comfortable setup.
