How Big Bamboo plays
Wins pay left to right along 50 lines. The panda, boar, monkey and bird are the high-paying symbols, and four card suits are the low ones. Mystery Bamboo stacks can land anywhere, and once the reels stop they all open to reveal the same thing: a paying symbol, wilds or Golden Bamboo. Golden Bamboo starts a respin where each golden position can land a scatter or one of these:
- Instant prizes: from 1x to 5,000x stake.
- Multipliers: 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x, applied to every prize and collector in view.
- Collectors: gather the values of the other prizes and collectors.
Free spins and the gamble wheel
When scatters land on reels 2 and 3, a Gamble Scatter can land on reel 4. It spins to a blank or to one of three free spins awards, from four to ten spins. The two lower awards can be gambled on a wheel for a better one, at the risk of losing the award. In free spins, every four scatters turn the next low symbol into Mystery Bamboo, add spins and raise the Golden Bamboo multiplier to 2x, 3x, 5x and finally 10x.
