Panda Pow – New Stacked Wild Slot from Lightning Box Games
Great news for players at Videoslots Casino as over the last week they have started to add the fantastic back-catalogue of slots from SG Interactive which includes slots from WMS, Bally, and Barcrest.
Several of the flagship slots are already live and playable at the casino including Raging Rhino, Rainbow Riches, Zeus, and Black Knight II with plenty more new slots from these providers on the horizon.
On top of all these fantastic new slots, they have also added the latest Lightning Box Games slot titled Panda Pow which is a classic 25 payline slot with stacked wilds.
Panda Pow Slot – Base Gameplay
Panda Pow uses a regular 5×3 reel layout and comes with 25 fixed paylines, the slot is themed around a Kung Fu panda with a cartoon setting, the Lightning Box Games slots always manage to feel reminiscent to land-based slots both in terms of design and with the use of the Scatter teases, bonus triggers and win count ups.
As you would expect the Panda is the most important symbol of this game, not only does it act as a wild but is also required to trigger the free spins bonus round.
In the base game, the Panda wild is only present on the middle three reels and comes quite heavily stacked, in order to trigger the main bonus round you need to land 5 or more of these symbols on the central 3 reels, additional wilds grant more free spins up to the maximum of 20 free spins.

Panda Pow Slot – Free Spins Bonus Round
The main bonus round is triggered by landing 5 or more of the special Panda Wild symbols anywhere on the middle three reels granting 5 free spins, if additional wilds land in view then you are awarded extra free spins up to a maximum of 20 for a 9 wild symbol bonus trigger.
- 5 Wild Red Pandas – 5 Free Spins
- 6 Wild Red Pandas – 8 Free Spins
- 7 Wild Red Pandas – 12 Free Spins
- 8 Wild Red Pandas – 15 Free Spins
- 9 Wild Red Pandas – 20 Free Spins
During the free spins, the regular Red Wild Pandas pandas are joined by a new stacked Gold Wild Panda symbol which is found on the last four reels making the reels very heavily stacked with wilds during the bonus.
The good news is that you can also re-trigger the free spins by repeating a win with the regular Red Wild Pandas too.

Overall Thoughts
Panda Pow is a slightly disappointing release from Lightning Box Games, especially since they have tended to be rather innovative in the design on their previous online slots, and this is a fairly basic 25 liner.
The mechanics used in Panda Pow have been used before in previous releases and this slot doesn’t really offer anything new on the past releases either apart from the Kung Fu Panda.
The stacked wilds in the bonus round can be quite exciting but you really do need to have an almost full screen of them for this slot to produce wins over a 15x stake, and with an RTP close to 95% there is certainly much better slots to choose from at Red Queen Casino.
