Big Bamboo Demo by Push Gaming
Big Bamboo makes its free spins a gamble twice over. The Gamble Scatter on this slot doesn’t simply hand over a bonus when it lands. It cycles through four results inside its own position, and one of them is a blank. If it settles on a smaller award, the Gamble Wheel offers to move that award up a tier, and a losing spin leaves nothing. That’s two points where the bonus can come to nothing before a free spin is played.
A panda in a bamboo forest makes up the key art, and it promises a gentle game. The features keep putting the bonus at stake instead.
Slot Bonus Features
The Gamble Scatter
The Gamble Scatter can land on reels 2, 3, and 4. Its four results are a blank, 4 to 9 free spins, 7 to 9 free spins with 2 low symbols turned into bamboo, or 8 to 10 free spins with all 4 low symbols turned into bamboo. A Gamble Scatter landing is a chance at the bonus, then, because one result gives nothing.
Spinning the Gamble Wheel
Any award below the top tier can be collected or taken to the Gamble Wheel. A win there moves the award up a tier, with more spins, more converted symbols, or both, and a loss ends the feature with no free spins. The top result isn’t offered the wheel, so landing it settles the matter at once.
Mystery Stacks Anywhere
Mystery Stacks can appear anywhere across the reels, in the free spins as in the main game, and can reveal Wild symbols, paying symbols, or the Golden Bamboo symbol.
Golden Bamboo Respin
Golden Bamboo gives 1 respin, and each Golden Bamboo position can land an Instant Prize worth up to 5,000x, a Multiplier up to 10x, a Collector, a Scatter, or a Gamble Scatter. Collectors gather the Instant Prize and Collector values in view, and Multipliers boost them. A Free Spins prize here starts the free spins.
The respin to hope for is several prizes in view with a Collector among them.
Converting Low Symbols
During the free spins, scatters fill a meter beside each low symbol, four to a symbol. A full meter turns that symbol into bamboo, adds spins, and gives Golden Bamboo wins a multiplier. The extra spins arrive as +4, then +3, +3, and +2. An award with 2 symbols already converted starts with two of those climbs done, and the top award starts with all four finished.
None of this makes Big Bamboo all risk. Golden Bamboo pays from a Mystery Stack with no gamble involved, and the four buys avoid the blank. Still, the panda suggests a slot that leaves you alone, and the bonus keeps asking you to risk it. Players who like a decision with something riding on it get one on every lower award, while everyone else can collect each time. 50,000x is the highest win Push Gaming has recorded on Big Bamboo, a March 2022 release with a sequel in Big Bamboo 2.
How to Play
Payouts on 50 Lines
Two pandas from the leftmost reel are enough for a line win in Big Bamboo, while every other symbol needs 3 or more from that reel. The panda is also the top-paying symbol. Wins count on 50 fixed lines across 5 reels and 6 rows.
Hand of Anubis uses a 5×6 grid too, but pays it in clusters. Here, the same shape carries fixed lines, under a bamboo-forest theme that puts the game among the Asian slots.
Line wins are one part of a spin. A Mystery Stack can reveal Wilds or paying symbols, and one that reveals Golden Bamboo gives the reels a single respin for Instant Prizes, Multipliers, and Collectors. The free spins start from a Gamble Scatter in the main game or from a Free Spins prize during that respin.
Once a Gamble Scatter award shows, the choice is collect or gamble. Collecting starts the free spins with the spins and conversions shown, and keeps whatever the scatter gave. Gambling trades that sure award for a shot at the next tier up, and a loss leaves no free spins. Within the free spins, each set of four scatters on a low symbol’s meter converts that symbol to bamboo, until all four low symbols are converted.
Four Buy Prices
A bonus buy goes past the Gamble Scatter to an award, the 179x and 608x options match its two top results, and the 300x option leaves both the spins and the conversions to chance.
| Price | Free spins | Low symbols converted |
|---|---|---|
| 99x | 7-9 | None |
| 179x | 7-9 | 2 |
| 300x | Random | Random |
| 608x | 8-10 | All 4 |
RTP and Stakes
