Mystery Bamboo Symbol

In the base game, Mystery Bamboo symbols may appear. Triggering the Mystery Bamboo Expansion requires 3 or more Mystery Bamboo symbols to land in a single spin.

Once active, each Mystery Bamboo symbol will expand to fill the entire reel, converting into Golden Mystery Bamboos or the same High or Low-paying symbol. Golden Mystery Bamboo symbols can reveal Instant Prizes between 1x and 100x your bet and Scatters.

Mystery Bamboo Reveal Symbol

Mystery Bamboo Reveal symbols can land anywhere on the reels in the base game and Free Spins round. Upon landing, each symbol will reveal the same type of symbol from the following:

• Wild symbols
• High or Low-paying symbols

New win lines that may occur after this are awarded, and any previous win lines featuring a Mystery Bamboo Reveal symbol will be applied again.

Conclusion

Big Bam-Book is a thrilling instalment to Push Gaming’s collection of innovative titles, and one that Big Bamboo fans will certainly appreciate. The calming calls of nature and serene backdrop appeal to the eyes and ears, while gameplay delivers excitement and intrigue.

Push Gaming has recycled certain features from Big Bamboo, with a few tweaks and adjustments to make them even more enticing. Mystery Bamboo symbols are singular in Big Bam-Book, with at least 3 needed to activate the Mystery Bamboo Expansion feature. Even with the Push Bet function active, they are still a little tricky to acquire.

Once active, Mystery Bamboo symbols have multiple functions. As expected, they may reveal the same instance of High or Low-paying symbols, or enter the Golden Mystery Bamboo phase.

The Golden Mystery Bamboo feature allows the highlighted reels to land Instant Prizes worth up to 100x your bet, similar to the Razor Shark series. The only discrepancy is that there are no special symbols other than Scatters that can land within the Golden Mystery Bamboo reels.

Unlike Big Bamboo, this latest version is a far-sight easier to bonus, requiring a minimum of 3 Book Scatters to land in the base game. In Free Spins, Big Bam-Book takes on the traditional ‘book’ function, causing reels to expand when a minimum of 3 Mystery Bamboo symbols hit in a single spin.

The illustrious ‘book’ function has been tried and tested in hundreds of games, yet Push Gaming has found a way to recreate it in their own way via the Golden Mystery Bamboo feature. Big Bam-Book is further complimented by Bonus Buy and Push Bet options, catering to a wide range of players and their desired preferences!
