About Shadow of the Panther
Shadow of the Panther drops you into a dense, green wilderness ruled by a mysterious panther man – half human, half beast. The game’s standout feature is its use of dual symbols (two symbols in one space), which can boost your win potential without changing the layout. Add in Super Stacks and a free spins round, and this game has all the jungle juice needed to keep the reels wild and rewarding.
It’s a slot that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel but keeps gameplay exciting with stacked visuals and a dash of supernatural flair.
Gameplay and Features
Shadow of the Panther plays on a 5×3 reel grid with 30 fixed paylines, and it leans heavily on the Super Stacks mechanic – which loads the reels with large groups of matching symbols, increasing your shot at multi-line wins.
Here’s what’s prowling in the jungle:
- Super Stacks: Before each spin, one symbol is selected to appear stacked across multiple reels. This increases the likelihood of landing multiple high-paying combinations.
- Free Spins Feature:
- Triggered by landing 5 or more scatter symbols (on any position).
- Awards 5 free spins using a richer reel set with more frequent Super Stacks.
- Free spins can be retriggered for even more chances.
Highlights:
- Super Stacks boost win potential every spin
- Dual symbols count as 2 icons per space
- Free spins with boosted payout frequency
- Panther man and wild animals bring the theme to life
Symbols and Payouts
High-paying symbols include the Panther Man, Black Panther, Leopard, and Golden Mask. Each symbol has a dual variant – showing two faces or icons in a single frame – and these count as double when calculating line wins.
- Wild Symbol: Replaces any standard symbol to complete winning combos.
- Bonus Symbol: Triggers free spins – landing 5 or more across the reels activates the round.
- Dual Symbols: Count as 2 icons in one space, increasing hit frequency.
The Panther Man symbol (especially in dual form) offers the highest payouts, and wins of up to 1,000x your stake are possible with full stacks and dual hits combined.
Graphics and Sound
Visually, Shadow of the Panther is vivid and dynamic, with glowing green and gold hues dominating the background. The Panther Man has a fierce presence, and the symbols shimmer with jungle-themed mystery. Animations are simple but clean, with stacked wins and duals creating bursts of excitement.
The soundtrack is tribal and rhythmic, using drums and subtle animal cries to set a wild, immersive tone. Sound effects escalate nicely with big wins or feature triggers.
Mobile Experience
This slot is fully mobile-compatible. All features – including Super Stacks, dual symbols, and bonus triggers – scale well to smaller screens. Whether you’re playing on a tablet or smartphone, Shadow of the Panther delivers a smooth, touch-friendly jungle chase.
