Pandamania Slot Game Graphics
The plot of the online slot game is to help Panda escape from the zoo by tying up the zookeepers. Set in the backdrop of a zoo, the first thing one can notice is the vibrant and colorful slot machine with neatly designed graphics. The animations are smooth and there isn’t much background music except during the spin which sounds a bit plain. The animations of the Panda are very hilarious and they automatically bring a smile to one’s face.
