While most of the online slot games in existence use the regular fiver reels and three rows system, there are some who tried to be more innovative and follow a different grid, offering a different experience to players who might have become bored with the same game play.
Such an unusual game is Prowling Panther that features a diamond network with 4 rows on the second and fourth reel, while the middle reel has 5 rows. This means that there are a whopping 720 winning combinations available, making it one of the most diverse slot games.
The Prowling Panther slot certainly has many advantages, but also several drawbacks, one of the them being the somewhat outdated interface and effects, as well as the overly colorful interface. Apart from this, the game does offer some nice features and the opportunity to get big winnings.
Developed by IGT software developer, formerly known as WagerWorks, the Prowling Panther slot features a jungle theme, with plenty of symbols to remind of the wild nature. The star of the game is the Black Panther, but there are also parrots, toucans, a golden panther and others.
There is not a great variety of symbols however and the game could have used some more animals or reminders of the theme. The player can choose the most comfortable betting amount between 1 and 50 coins. Apart from the special bonuses and features, the Black Panther symbol offers the highest pay, especially when hitting a combination of 5 symbols.
The most interesting feature of the Prowling Panther slot is the MultiWay Xtra Win, where the 2X symbol is a stacked wild which can appear on the 2,3 and 4 reels, completing combinations and acting as a double symbol.
It awards high prizes, but only the highest paying MultiWay Xtra Win will be paid in the same spin. The other special feature is the scatter symbol represented by the Golden Panther, which can appear on any reel. These scatters award free spins and while the base amount is 8 free spins, which can be increased by other combinations, but also retriggered, up to a maximum of 256 free spins.
The Prowling Panther slot game is a nice addition to the gambling world, but although it offers several nice features, it can be quite boring and low paying on the long run.
