Astro Pandas from Booming Games: Slot Review - a rewarding Space trip!

Explore outer space with a bunch of brave pandas to win big on the reels in this fun slot!

What do you get when you cross a bunch of cute pandas and outer space together? Astro Pandas of course! This new release from Booming Games revolves around a band of colourful pandas who have decided to leave Earth to explore the galaxy. Animals in space is, in fact, a theme that has been successfully done before in slots such as Astro Cat and Astro Pug. Let’s find out if these brave pandas have what it takes to help us find a galaxy-sized fortune on the reels?

Astro Pandas is a 5 reel slot with 20 paylines that includes Free Spins, Wild Symbols, and a Mystery Jackpot feature.

Special Features

So how exactly do you win cash rewards in this game? Well, it is quite simple as wins are created when you land 3 or more identical symbols on an active payline from left to right. Needless to say, the more matching symbols you land then the bigger wins you will receive.

The Wild symbol is represented by a red and white space rocket and like most Wild symbols, it substitutes for all other symbols apart from the Scatter to help form winning combos. Keep your eyes peeled for this symbol on the reels as it is the highest paying symbol in the game.

Astro Pandas comes with a unique Free Spins bonus game which is triggered when you land 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the reels. The Scatter symbol is depicted by an image of the game logo and does not have a payout. In this exciting feature, you will be awarded 10 Free Spins with all wins nicely doubled thanks to a nifty 2X multiplier. Unfortunately, it is not possible to retrigger this feature.

The final feature to discuss is the Mystery Jackpots bonus feature. This is a random bonus event which can trigger in the main game and offers one of 3 different jackpot prizes worth 20X, 50X, or an incredible 500X your total bet! You can view the Mystery Jackpot prizes at the top of the reels. Manage to trigger this feature on the reels and you will boost your winnings by quite some margin!

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game features adorable cartoon-like graphics as it is set on a strange alien planet with dusty red craters and a purple star-lit background in the distance. It’s easy to spot that the Astro Pandas have definitely travelled far into the outer reaches of space here! Symbols are nicely rendered onscreen and consist of a variety of different coloured Panda astronauts along with some typical A – 10 icons. The animations are smooth as symbols speed up and down the reels quickly and burst into life in spectacular fashion when part of a winning combination. It’s really neat when you trigger the Mystery Jackpot feature as you are presented with an image of one of the pandas standing proudly on the alien planet to go along nicely with an epic win on the reels.

The music is light techno and has a kooky mysterious feel to it which fits in really well with the sci-fi theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 20 paylines, an average RTP of 95.85%, and a maximum payout worth 2,000X your total bet.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.

Our Verdict on Astro Pandas

This game is made by Booming Games and is a simple but entertaining slot to play. The theme is quite unique as who could ever imagine a Panda dressed up as an Astronaut? I sure didn’t! Astro Pandas features highly polished graphics, nice animations, and a decent amount of bonus features to enjoy. The Mystery Jackpot feature triggered on occasion and it’s great that you can win an incredible 500X your bet with this random bonus event. The Free Spins game, on the other hand, took a bit more time to trigger but your patience is rewarded with lucrative 2X multipliers for every Free Spin. It is just a pity that the Mystery Jackpot feature is not active in Free Spins and that it’s not possible to retrigger it. When it comes to variance, I found this slot to be High so make sure to have lots of bankroll and time before jetting off into space with these adorable pandas! For slots with a similar space theme, check out Planet Fortune and Joker Gems.

Skyrocket to a galaxy full of cash prizes when you spin the reels in Astro Pandas!
