Mystery symbol, Wild of the game
Represented by a large green question mark, the substitution symbol can appear at any time. Either he falls at random, or the panda monk is in a good mood and grants several.
What makes it a wild symbol is the fact that this symbol turns into an adjacent symbol (the most profitable possible), in order to form the best possible combination..
Giant Symbols
3 highest paying symbols in the game: the Tiger, the Elephant and the Monkey. These last are twice bigger (we call them Stacked), which often gives rise to the most beautiful combinations.
The symbol Scatter of the game also appears as Stacked, and even when it is only half shown, it still counts (as 1 Scatter obviously, not 2).
Shangri La Cluster Pays Bonus
At any time, the panda can activate the following bonus features:
- Random substitutions: At least 1 substitution symbol in other words a Wild) is added to increase the chances of landing a winning combination
- Sticky Re-Spin: A symbol is chosen at random for stay in position during the free round which arrives. This sticky symbol will only disappear when it can no longer form any combination..

Free Spins Shangri La Cluster Country

3 Scatters = 5 free spins, 4 Scatters = 6, 5 Scatters = 7 and 6 Scatters = 8 free spins
Most of the time you won't get more than 5 Scatters. And that's more than enough, because the panda grants ‘mystery symbols’ every game (between 2 and 6). These symbols are sticky ’in addition; so we are sure to win every time. Most of the time there are 3 or 4 every free spin.
What can disappoint, however, is that at the end of each free spin, an ice dragon (coming out of nowhere) can take on some of these substitute symbols.
In general, during free spins you never win more than 10 times the initial bet, on the other hand we will always have a free spin more.
