Free slot: Big Bamboo

How Big Bamboo works

In the middle of a bamboo forest lies a slot like no other. In March 2022, Push Gaming, one of the world's best-known providers, introduced a new slot to online casino players: Big Bamboo.

This slot machine is reminiscent of the world of Asia, a place where bamboo forests are present in large numbers. To make you travel directly from your computer, the provider has thought of everything: sound ambiance that can remind you of this place of the world if you have been there as well as very nice graphics.

The starting grid is not common, since it could be described as large if we decide to compare it with what is usually done in the gambling world. With 5 columns and 6 symbols inside, this starting grid is also very pleasant to look at.

Big Bamboo is a slot machine that offers you a feature in the base game as well as bonus games, which you can get in two different ways. In this slot machine, the connections work in the classic way, that is, a game round stops when no connection is made or when a connection is made.

This Push Gaming creation is free to try at Lucky7Bonus and is also available at the vast majority of the casinos we provide. Big Bamboo is a slot machine where you can bet between €0.10 and €100 per spin. However, depending on the platform you play on, the stakes may vary.

As explained in the introduction of this slot, there is a feature available in the Big Bamboo slot machine. This feature is very easy to understand: as soon as a bamboo appears, it will reveal the same symbol.

The symbol is the one available on the slot machine, apart from the one that can give you the bonus feature.

Among the symbols that can appear is the golden bamboo symbol. Just like the coins on the Razor Shark slot, there are several different prizes that can appear behind these symbols.

• Coins: x 1, x 2, x 5, x 10, x 25, x 50, x 100, x 250, x 500, x 1 000, x 2 500, x 5 000. Depending on the coin that falls, it will allow you to win X times your starting bet

• Multiplier symbols: x 2, x 3, x 5 and x 10. If a multiplier coin appears, it will multiply the value of all available coins

• Collector symbol: it allows you to collect all the coins that came out during this turn

• Bonus symbol: it allows you to potentially get the bonus games available on this slot machine

The different symbols of Big Bamboo

Big Bamboo is a slot machine that does not have many symbols, only 9 in total. These symbols are divided into two categories: the premium symbols and the non premium symbols. Before we talk about them, let's talk about the wild symbol.

The latter, represented by a golden square with a wild symbol, allows you to connect with all the symbols that are present in the slot machine, except the symbol that gives the bonus features.

The following screen shows the value of the wild symbol for a starting bet of 1 euro.

In addition to this wild symbol, Big Bamboo is a slot that contains 8 symbols that are divided into two categories. The first is the premium symbols. These are called premium symbols because they appear much less often than the other symbols, but they pay more when they are part of a connection.

They are represented by different animals that live in the forests in Asia:

• The Panda

• The warthog

• A monkey

• A bird

The following screen also shows the values of the Big Bamboo premium symbols for a starting bet of 1 euro.

In addition to these four premium symbols, Big Bamboo is a slot that contains four non-premium symbols. These are called non premium symbols because they have a much higher frequency of appearance than the premium symbols, however, they will pay you less when they are part of a connection.

They are represented by the four symbols of a classic deck of cards: clubs, spades, diamonds and hearts.

As with the previous screens, the values shown in the following photograph are for a starting bet of 1 euro.

The different connections of Big Bamboo

The starting grid of Big Bamboo is large, as is the number of connections that are available on this slot. As mentioned in the introduction to this slot, the connections work in the classic way, meaning that as soon as a connection is made, the next round is automatically started.

For a connection to occur, a symbol must appear at least once in the first two or even three columns of your starting grid. The farther a symbol goes, the bigger your final win will be.

Big Bamboo is a slot machine with almost 50 different paylines, which is a lot in the online casino world. In the following screen the different connections of Big Bamboo are displayed.

It is important to know that connections on Big Bamboo only work from left to right and that only the most profitable win per line will be taken into account.

How the Big Bamboo bonus works

As it was written in the introduction of this slot machine, it will be possible for you to get free games on the Big Bamboo slot machine. You can get them in three different ways:

• By purchasing the bonus games

• By obtaining it during your paid rounds

• With the functionality of the bamboo that we have seen before

It is also important to understand that Big Bamboo has several different parts that we will come back to. As you can see in the following screen, in the symbol where the number is displayed there are four small circles.

To get the bonus rounds during the pay spins, you will need to see the "bonus" symbol appear twice and a third symbol where different things can appear:

• A bamboo, which means you didn't get any free parts

• A purple number, between 4 and 9, which means that you got free games, but you start them without help, because no round is filled

• A red number with two dots filled in, which means that you will start your free spins with a multiplier. The numbers that may appear are 7, 8 and 9 free spins

It will be quite possible for you to gamble the free games on Big Bamboo. Again, this gamble is a little bit complex to understand, so we will try to explain it to you as best we can.

• If you get the purple games, you will be able to gamble and get red games that offer you two multipliers. You will also have a chance to get the most volatile games that offer you all the features

• If you get the red games, you can bet to get the yellow games. These allow you to potentially get more free spins and have all the features unlocked

It is very important to understand that if you land on a square with the X symbol, your free spins are lost.

As you may have read a few lines ago, if you get the purple parts, you will start your free spins without any help.

On the right side of your screen are symbols and bamboo. Every time four bonus symbols are earned during your free spins, the symbols that received the four bonus symbols disappear and are replaced by bamboo. In addition, depending on the symbol, you also get between three and four extra free spins.

Finally, this feature also allows you to see your final win multiplied and this can range from x 2 to x 10.

In the red bonus, you start with two symbols that become bamboo and a multiplier directly into x3.

Finally, in the yellow bonus, you start with all non-premium symbols becoming bamboo and a 10x win multiplier.

Just like during your pay games, it will be quite possible for you to get golden bamboo during your free games. In fact, this is the only way to win the maximum payout that is hidden in this Push Gaming slot.

You will be able to buy bonus games directly on the Big Bamboo slot machine. However, Big Bamboo doesn't have one buying feature, but several.

• Buying the purple bonus will cost you 99 times your starting bet and you can gamble it to get a better bonus

• The red bonus costs 179 times your initial bet and you can also gamble it

• To get the yellow bonus, you will have to pay 608 times your starting bet and you will not be able to gamble it

• The last possible purchase will allow you to obtain one of the three available bonuses and it will cost you 300 times your starting bet

Our opinion on Big Bamboo

Our opinion on Big Bamboo is excellent. It has been a long time since Push Gaming released such a complete and interesting slot. First of all, we must highlight the beautiful graphics and the musical atmosphere that are present in this slot.

Secondly, it cannot be said that you will be bored on Big Bamboo as there are so many features present that can appear during any round of the game. It is especially during your paying spins that you will notice how much this slot machine can pay you in a massive way.

If you're looking for thrills and spills, but at the same time have a huge winning potential, you've got it all at Big Bamboo. With extreme volatility, this slot can win you up to 50,000 times your original bet.

Another very important thing to look at on a slot machine is its theoretical return to players. Depending on how you play, there are several RTPs available and these range from 94.08% to 96.13%. However, depending on certain bonus purchases, this RTP can be even higher.
