Eye of the Panda Slot Overview

Eye of the Panda is a new casino slot from Hacksaw Gaming. Rising up, back on the streets, did my time, took my chances. Oh, sorry. The title of this game just gets that rhythm going. It’s unclear whether Hacksaw was inspired by Survivor’s hit song and Rocky III for this one, but it seems kind of likely. Not only the title but the whole setting with this big, buff panda in a shady alley gets us in that vibe. A great setting, and we hope the mechanics are as good. Let’s see!

Eye of the Panda is a video slot from Hacksaw Gaming with 5 reels, 5 rows, and 27 paylines. Players can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.10 and a Max.bet of 100. The game has a default RTP of 96.26%, but there are versions of the game with a lower RTP than that. Its high hit frequency of 33.87% makes the game eventful. Eye of the Panda is played at medium volatility and has a max win of 10000x, which has a probability of 1 in 11,500,000 spins. 

As per usual, some base game features and two different bonus games are available. The features are Wild Panda Multipliers, Scatter Symbol, Never Say No To Panda Bonus, Jumping Panda Bonus, and Feature Buys.

Eye of the Panda Slot Information

The protagonist panda can be seen on the right side of the grid, occasionally grabbing a bite of his burger that he seemingly hides in his armpit. He’s a dope character, and Hacksaw has created a nice setting. Of course, the game title makes you wish for a banging rock song, but the audio is a bit more toned down, which actually suits the game. 

Eye of the Panda can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels within the game’s lines, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols consist of 10, J, Q, K, and A. A winning combination of 5 with one of these pays 1x the bet. The higher-paying symbols include ice cream, milkshake, donut, fries, and burger. Five-of-a-kind with these pays 5x-10x the bet. The panda himself act as a Wild symbol, substituting for the paying symbols mentioned above.

Wild Panda Multipliers

Pandas landing are Wild symbols, substituting for other paying symbols. These have multipliers attached to them, ranging from 2x-10x. If more than one Panda is part of a winning combination, their values multiply each other. 

Scatter Symbol

Landing 3 or 4 Scatter symbols (FS) triggers the Never Say No To Panda Bonus or Jumping Panda Bonus, respectively. 

Never Say No To Panda Bonus

Landing 3 Scatter symbols triggers 10 spins in the Never Say No To Panda Bonus. Whenever a Wild Panda Multiplier lands and is not part of a winning combination, it will be collected and stored on the right-hand side. When you then make a winning combination, your stored Wilds will be put out on spots part of the win, applying its multiplier to it. 

Jumping Panda Bonus

Landing 4 Scatter symbols triggers 10 spins in the Jumping Panda Bonus. During the bonus, the first 5 Wild Panda Multipliers that land become sticky, and jump to new random positions on each spin. 

Feature Buys

The following 4 Feature Buys are available at different costs:

3x = Activates the Bonushunt Featurespins, where each spin is 5x more likely to trigger a bonus game. 

50x = Activates the Panda-licious Featurespins, guaranteeing that at least 5 Wild Panda Multipliers land. 

100x = Activates the Never Say No To Panda Bonus Game.

200x = Activates the Jumping Panda Bonus Game.

Eye of the Panda Slot Conclusion

The combination of the title and the intriguing setting featuring a robust panda in a mysterious alley creates an immersive atmosphere.  While it remains uncertain whether Hacksaw took inspiration from Survivor's hit song and Rocky III for this game, the possibility is tantalizing. 

That aside, we’re a bit unsure about the gameplay. The Wild Panda Multipliers are potent, and they help create an eventful game, but it’s not very innovative. Hacksaw pumps out quite a lot of games, yet they usually come up with new things and mechanics. This one, however, is nothing special. Multiplying Wild symbols has been part of hundreds, if not thousands of slot games, so having that as your core mechanic won’t give you any big awards. With that said, it’s still a very enjoyable game to play, just not a groundbreaking one. 

Eye of the Panda by Hacksaw provides a dope setting with potent, multiplying wild symbols.
