Panda’s Fortune 2 Slot Overview
We’re returning to the bamboo forest to revisit the Pandas in Panda’s Fortune 2 from Pragmatic Play!
Panda’s Fortune 2 is a sequel to a game of the same name released in 2017.
Panda’s Fortune had lucrative and sought after jackpots with Minor, Major and Grand Jackpots, and it looks as if the sequel follows suit with much of the same.
Panda’s Fortune 2 Theme
Panda’s Fortune 2 naturally has many similarities to its predecessor with an Asian theme and calming and serene music.
The main difference here is how much more defined Panda’s Fortune 2 is. To some, 2017 doesn’t seem too long ago, but in what could be considered a relatively short time, you can easily see how significant the graphical quality is in comparison.
The Giant Panda has become embedded deeply in Chinese Culture as a symbol of peace and friendship due to their calm demeanour and friendly culture. It’s certainly the case that he’s your friend in this slot as an integral part of claiming that Panda’s Fortune.
The Asian themed game may not be considered particularly innovative due to the concentration of them out there, but the beauty of the culture and the impact it has never seems to dissipate.

3 or more bonus symbols will re-trigger the game, awarding 8 extra spins.
Having guaranteed golden symbols will undoubtedly help in your pursuit for bigger wins, but you’ll still need 5 of a kind wins to get the truly miraculous wins.
Panda’s Fortune 2: Our Verdict
Panda’s Fortune 2 is significantly better than it’s predecessor, but in hindsight there’s really not a lot to be overly excited about.
The maximum win is Pragmatic Play’s go-to favourite figure of 5,000x, which makes it technically as capable as any of their other games, but it’s just not too exciting. The RTP of 96.51% makes it look a little bit better. This figure is well within the range considered average or decent by players.
The Golden Symbol feature sounds very exciting, but you’ll need both a Golden Symbol and a 5 of a kind win in order to see anything decent from it, and the same can be said for the bonus.
It’s easy to think that the bonus for Panda’s Fortune 2 has something in store for you on the last spin when you collect the golden spaces, but nothing happens. You’re truly reliant on marking the spaces and then collecting a 5 of a kind win. 3 or 4 of a kind only offers 3x and 2x for high and low symbols respectively, which is nothing to be excited about in the slightest.
Wild Symbols are your best chance of seeing this feature, but it doesn’t happen often enough unfortunately.
Overall, Panda’s Fortune has certainly built upon the original with significant changes for the better, but the overall experience is highly forgettable and woefully un-exciting.
