September marks World Bamboo Day, when we pause to honor one of the world's most versatile and resilient plants. Bamboo has become a symbol of strength, flexibility and rapid growth, and in many cultures suggests good fortune and prosperity.
The world's bamboo forests need care and nurturing to ensure that they survive and flourish. Pandas, mountain gorillas and other animals rely on bamboo for their survival. Our planet is dependent on bamboo as an important source of oxygen and land stabilization.
Join Grande Vegas Casino as we celebrate World Bamboo Day through education, activism and slots gaming entertainment.
Bamboo
World Bamboo Day celebrates a unique plant that can set you on a winning path through spins, bonus features and other slots prospects. It's almost impossible to look at a panda, which relies on bamboo for 99% of its diet, and not understand the importance of bamboo in maintaining the panda's placid and optimistic attitude towards everything that we do.
Bamboo is a unique plant that acts as a "carbon sink" that absorbs significant amounts of CO2 while releasing more oxygen than most other trees. Its extensive root system prevents soil erosion and stabilizes land. It grows quickly, regenerates itself and helps maintain our ecosystem's balance.
Chinese culture assigns profound meaning to bamboo which, it is believed, symbolizes virtues like grace, modesty, integrity and resilience. It represents qualities such as purity, flexibility and inner strength and is often included in traditional art and literature.
Slots players can combine the Chinese view of bamboo as a sign of extra luck and prosperity with World Bamboo Day observance and slots gaming entertainment. Check out some of Grande Vegas's bamboo-linked slots and harvest big wins! Some games to check out for World Bamboo Day include:
Panda's Gold
Peacocks, Peking Ducks, koi fish and other Chinese creatures join the bamboo-munching panda of Panda's Gold in this 88-payline slot machine. Any time that these or other game symbols line up on enabled paylines, you can achieve a win of up to 50,000x the bet that triggered the win. The Panda is the game's Wild, which substitutes for all other symbols to create more winning combinations.
The Fortune symbol is the game's Scatter. If your regular game spin results in 3 Scatters you'll play the Prosperity Free Spins Round. If you spin 4 Scatters, you'll be taken to the Wealth Free Spins and if 5 Scatters emerge simultaneously on a regular game spin you'll play the Fortune Free Spins. On any of the free spins, if 3 or more Scatters appear, you'll be awarded 8 additional free spins in your current feature.
During the Prosperity, Wealth or Fortune free spins, winning paylines that include Wild symbols deliver triple payouts.
Panda Magic
The Panda Magic slot machine amps up the world's cutest animal and makes him into a Panda Wizard with 1024 All Ways Pays, free spins and more magic features.
When Panda Magic launches you'll see reels filled with mushrooms, wizard's hats, magic colored orbs, potions, scrolls of parchment, candles, books of incantations, wise owls and more. "Panda Magic" is the game's Wild symbol which substitutes for other symbols and expands randomly to create more winning combinations.
The game is a 1024 Pay Ways game which gives you the chance to achieve winning payouts on every spin. One bet activates all the pay ways simultaneously, so you never lose out! On every spin, there are 1024 possibilities for you to create a winning match which makes this a lucrative opportunity for achieving major cash prizes!
The Magic Ticket is the Scatter symbol, which will pay out a Scatter Combination Payout whenever 3 or more Scatter symbols appear simultaneously in any pattern on the reels. Once your Scatter Combination Payout is paid out you'll receive Panda Magic free spins – for 3 Scatters you are awarded 20 free spins, for 4 Scatters you will receive 25 free spins and if you spin 5 scatters you will receive 30 free spins. Free spin wins are automatically doubled and if 3 or more scatters appear on a free spin the whole free spin round will retrigger for additional respins.
There's a More Magic Feature which the Panda Wizard may initiate before the free spins to add 1 or 3 additional Extra Expanding Wilds to the reels to keep the wins coming!
Kong Fu
Pandas are the most recognized bamboo consumers but bamboo is also an important part of the mountain gorilla's diet. Kong Fu's diet fuels his activities battling enemies with a gameboard that can expand to 6x5 and even to 6x6. That, in addition to 4096 Ways to Win that grows to 15,625 possible winning combinations on ever spin makes for a highly engaging slot adventure of fun, excitement and real money prizes.
This Pay Ways game allows you to achieve wins without enabling individual paylines with separate wagers. Place your bet on the spin and any matching that occur as a result of that spin will deliver your win, regardless of the pay way on which it appeared!
Throughout the spins, Bursting Wilds substitute for game symbols to complete winning combinations. If, for instance, you have Gorilla Master Bursting Wild plus 2 raccoons, the Wild will complete the pay way for an additional winning payout! The Gorilla Master Bursting Wild triggers randomly during both the Regular Game and the Free Spins.
Three or more Scatters trigger a Scatter Combination payout and the Bonus Wheel Feature. The regular game will stop and the screen will shift to the Bonus Wheel which you spin to reveal additional prizes, including:
- 10x bet multipliers
- 6x5 gameboard expansions + 10 free spins
- 6x6 gameboard expansions + 7 free spins
- 6x4 gameboard expansions + 7 Free Spins
- 6x5 gameboard expansions + 15 free spins
- JACKPOT PRIZE!
Master Takeover
When the Master Takeover features activate, one random symbol replaces multiple other symbols on a 6x5 or a 6x6 grid to give you a possible 15,625 (6x5 gameboard) or 46,656 (6x6 gameboard) possibilities to create new winning combinations. After the feature plays out the gameboard will return to its original size.
