Rules: how Fat Panda works
Fat Panda has 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines. Wins need at least three matching symbols on a line, counted from left to right from the first reel; only the highest win per line is paid.
The return to player (RTP) of the standard version is 96.07%. That is an average over a very large number of spins, not a promise for a single session. Casinos may run versions with a lower RTP; the in-game info menu shows the value that applies.
The maximum win is capped at 20,000x your stake. At €1 per spin that would be €20,000; if a bonus reaches the cap, the round ends automatically.
Free spins, features and bonus round
An extra reel runs above the main reels and can award a feature on any spin, such as expanding wilds. Three or more scatters trigger the free spins, in which the extra reel can bring further free spins and sticky wilds. The maximum win is 20,000x the stake.
Scatter symbols trigger the free spins. How many scatters you need and how many spins you get is shown in the paytable; in most games of this kind the free spins can be retriggered during the bonus.

Fat Panda with the BlazeBet bonus: wagering and a worked example
At BlazeBet, slots count 100% towards the welcome bonus wagering (100% up to €1,000, 15x wagering, 30 days). Fat Panda is therefore suitable for clearing the bonus.
A worked example with real numbers: with a €100 bonus and 15x wagering on the bonus, you need to wager €1,500. At €1.00 per spin, that is 1,500 spins. With an RTP of 96.07%, the theoretical loss over that stretch is about €58.95. If BlazeBet counts deposit plus bonus, the total wager and the expected loss double.
With high volatility, the balance can run out before the free spins arrive. A smaller stake per spin stretches the budget over more rounds.
Volatility, hit rate and budget
According to published game data, about 28.57% of spins end in a win, so on average every 3.5th spin. Many of those hits are smaller than the stake, though.
As a rough rule of thumb for a game with high volatility: plan a budget for about 300 spins, which at €0.50 per spin is €150. That gives you a reasonable chance of seeing the bonus round. Set a limit and a time frame beforehand, and do not raise your stake to chase losses.
A classic line slot with surprisingly high potential; at 96.07% the RTP is slightly below average.
