Slotted for release in March 2020, Panther’s Reign is a brand-new slot from Quickspin, a developer that has proved time and time again that they know how to make a fun game, with awesome graphics and unique features.
They did a decent job here as well, though they didn’t bring anything new theme wise.
They’ve designed a bigger slot machine than they typically do, with 5x4 reels and 50 paylines in play.
You get to spin those reels and try your luck, aiming at a top jackpot worth 5,202x the round’s stake, while enduring some high variance gameplay.
You can expect to find a game with a good RTP, at 96.25%, and the features help a bit as well with that (Wild Spray, Free Spins, scatters).
Theme
’Welcome to the jungle!’
So goes the catchphrase of Quickspin’s latest slot, Panther's Reign.
This nature themed game has the king of the Amazon, the panther, in the driver seat as players spin their way through the lush jungle.
Graphically, Quickspin has done quite a good job, which comes as no surprise since they're known to consistently produce great looking slots.
Their stated goal was to…
...create an animal-focused game, something with more realistic looking animals than you’d normally find in our slots...
Firing up the game will confirm this has certainly been achieved. When it comes to symbols, the low pays are made up of card suits – diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades in a solid stone style. Things leap to life with the well-crafted high pay symbols which include a frog, parrot, monkey, and jaguar.
As you’d expect…
...the panther is the king of the paytable as well.
Helping increase the hit frequency is the wild symbol. This comes in the form of a panther scratched golden symbol which can substitute for any other regular pay symbol in the game.
Betting Options
The reel set up is a little unconventional with a 5-reel, 4 row arrangement that uses 50 paylines.
It's unclear why some developers insist on limiting the win ways like this instead of just going for a more popular 1,204 win all ways configuration, but each to their own.
To slash into the jungle action, the appropriate stake must first be selected. These can be changed and adjusted on the menu bar below the reels and start at 0.10 and go as high as 100 per spin.
Quickspin has designed the game for mobile and desktop use and looks good whatever the device you use.
Being a slot based on the wild nature of its cast and setting, Quickspin has powered the game with a volatility rated 5/5, so pretty much as high as it gets from the developer.
The other key stat, RTP, comes out at 96.25% when the base and bonus rounds have been factored in.
The pay symbols start at the low end with the card suits – diamonds, clubs, spades, clubs and hearts…
...all held on beautifully crafted stone icons and awarding 5x to 10x your bet for a single five of a kind. The premiums are in ascending order of value: the frog, the parrot, the monkey, the jaguar and the black panther. Hit five on a line to win 15x to 100x your stake.
A golden rock with panther scratch marks with the world itself across it is the wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols. It will yield also 100x your bet when five land across the reels. An ouroboros with a green gem acts as the scatter on this slot.
Special Features
Complementing the matching symbol payouts are a pack of features that randomly turn up at any point during the game or need to be triggered.
The most common extra is the Wild Spray feature which can appear at any moment – either base or bonus.
When active…
...it sprays 3-10 wilds over the reels in random positions during a base game spin. Or, on a free spin, it sprays up to 7 wilds into the game to boost the chance of landing winners.
The Panther Reign’s Free Spins round is where things come to a head and is unlocked by the scatter.
The serpent like symbol is the scatter and 3 on the reels award 5 free spins. Any additional scatter in view…
...adds an extra free spin up to a maximum of 22.
Five free spins might not sound like a lot, but they can provide better value due to the Respin feature present during the bonus round.
How it works is that any winning combination automatically triggers a Respin.
The symbols that were used in the combo are locked in place while the remaining positions spin. If more winning symbols land they are also locked while the reels Respin again. The Respins feature will continue until no new winning symbols land.
Our Take
Panther’s Reign is another visual masterpiece coming from the studios of Quickspin. Rich in colors, abundant animations and a vibrant mix of animals that you would encounter on a visit to the Amazon rainforest. However, while the features are executed in an impressive manner, it feels like they are missing some extra ‘oomph’, maybe a multiplier or semi-sticky wilds, something that would give them that extra suspense when they trigger.
