About Big Bamboo Slot
Big Bamboo slot is Push Gaming's jungle-set collector mechanic on a 5-reel, 6-row grid. The central piece is the Mystery Bamboo symbol – a face-down symbol that reveals after the reels stop, becoming a paying symbol, a Wild, or a Golden Bamboo that kicks off a separate prize-assignment sequence.

RTP and Volatility
Standard RTP is 96.13%, rising to 96.52% when the Gamble Wheel is consistently engaged.
UK players should be aware that UKGC-licensed operators are required to display RTP figures in the game lobby, so you can always verify the return rate before playing
Volatility is high throughout. The Big Bamboo 50,000x max win is a hard cap, reachable only through a fully converted grid with a Collector accumulating Instant Prize values under a 10x multiplier.

Jungle Theme and Visuals
A lush bamboo forest backdrop with a warm cartoon palette – nothing too serious, which fits the panda lead.
Mystery Bamboo symbols sit face-down across the grid, and their reveal animations are the visual centrepiece of every spin.
Mystery Bamboo Symbol
The Mystery Bamboo is a face-down symbol that lands in both the base game and during Free Spins.
After the reels stop, all Mystery Bamboo positions reveal – each one independently becoming one of three outcomes: a standard paying symbol, a Wild, or a Golden Bamboo that triggers the Golden Bamboo Feature on that position.
Golden Bamboo Feature
Golden Bamboo activates whenever a Mystery Bamboo reveals as a Golden Bamboo symbol. Each Golden Bamboo position is then assigned one of four prize types:
- Instant Prize – a direct multiplier payout between 1x and 5,000x bet, applied immediately to that position.
- Multiplier – a global value of 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x that multiplies all Instant Prize and Collector values currently on the grid before being removed.
- Collector – accumulates the values of all Instant Prize symbols and other Collectors visible on the grid, holding a running total until the feature ends.
- Scatter or Gamble Scatter – additional bonus trigger symbols counted toward Free Spins activation.
The order of resolution matters: Multipliers apply before Collectors collect. A Multiplier landing alongside a Collector and several Instant Prizes amplifies everything the Collector then scoops up.
Free Spins and Scatter Progression
Free spins in Big Bamboo online trigger when Scatter symbols land on reels 2, 3 and 4, or via a Gamble Scatter outcome. The base award is 4-9 free spins depending on trigger type. During the feature, every Scatter that lands is counted toward a conversion meter – every 4 Scatters collected converts one low-paying symbol into a Mystery Bamboo for all remaining spins and steps the global multiplier up one level.
There is no hard cap on how many extra spins can accumulate.
Low-Symbol Conversion and Multiplier Steps
Each time 4 Scatters accumulate in the counter, a low-paying symbol is permanently converted to Mystery Bamboo for all remaining free spins, and a multiplier step is awarded alongside bonus spins:
- 1st conversion – +4 free spins, global multiplier moves to 2x
- 2nd conversion – +3 free spins, multiplier moves to 3x
- 3rd conversion – +3 free spins, multiplier moves to 5x
- 4th conversion – +2 free spins, multiplier moves to 10x
After the 4th conversion all four low-paying suit symbols have been replaced by Mystery Bamboo.
Gamble Wheel
When a Gamble Scatter lands instead of a standard Scatter, a risk wheel activates before Free Spins begin. The wheel offers the chance to start the feature with low symbols already partially or fully converted:
- Standard 4-9 FS with no pre-conversions
- 7-9 FS with 2 low symbols already converted to Mystery Bamboo
- 8-10 FS with all 4 low symbols already converted – equivalent to reaching the 10x multiplier step immediately
The wheel also contains a No Prize sector: landing on it returns play to the base game with no Free Spins awarded.
Bonus Buy Options
Big Bamboo casino offers four direct purchase options for the Free Spins feature, bypassing the base game trigger entirely:
| Option | Cost | Entry Condition | RTP |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
99x bet | 7-9 FS, no pre-conversions | Up to 96.94% |
 |
179x bet | 7-9 FS, 2 low symbols converted | Up to 96.76% |
 |
608x bet | 8-10 FS, all 4 symbols converted | 96.71% |
 |
300x bet | Randomly selected entry tier | Up to 96.74% |
How to Play Big Bamboo
Find a UKGC-licensed casino
Choose a casino from the list above that holds a UK Gambling Commission licence and offers Big Bamboo Push Gaming titles in its lobby.
Register and verify your account
Complete sign-up and submit the required ID documents. UKGC regulations require verification before withdrawals can be processed.
Deposit in GBP
Fund your account using your preferred payment method. Most UK casinos accept debit cards, PayPal, Pay by Mobile (Boku or Payforit via EE, O2, Vodafone and Three), Faster Payments and bank transfer in GBP. Note that credit cards are not permitted for gambling transactions under UKGC rules.
Locate Big Bamboo slot in the lobby
Search for "Big Bamboo" directly, or browse the Push Gaming section. The game thumbnail features the Panda and bamboo forest imagery.
Set your stake and spin
Adjust the bet to suit your session budget. Watch for Mystery Bamboo symbols landing face-down – their reveal determines the value of each spin.
Collect Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4
Three Scatters landing on reels 2, 3 and 4 triggers Free Spins. A Gamble Scatter instead opens the Gamble Wheel for a chance at a pre-converted start.
Build the conversion meter during Free Spins
Each 4 Scatters collected converts a low symbol and steps the multiplier up. Reaching 10x with a Collector on the grid is the target for maximum payouts.

Wild substitutes for all regular paying symbols but does not replace Scatter, Golden Bamboo, or symbols assigned within the Golden Bamboo Feature. Values below are based on a £0.50 stake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mystery Bamboo lands face-down on the reels and reveals after the spin stops. Each position independently becomes one of three outcomes: a standard paying symbol from the paytable, a Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols, or a Golden Bamboo that triggers the Golden Bamboo Feature. Multiple Mystery Bamboo symbols on the same spin each reveal independently, so a single spin can produce a mix of all three outcomes at once.
The Collector is one of four prize types assigned during the Golden Bamboo Feature. It accumulates the values of all Instant Prize symbols and other Collectors visible on the grid, holding that running total until the feature ends. Crucially, Multipliers apply before the Collector gathers – so if a 10x Multiplier and a Collector both appear in the same reveal, the Collector scoops up already-multiplied values. On a fully converted grid with several Instant Prizes active, the Collector is the route to the largest payouts in the game.
Every 4 Scatters collected during Free Spins converts one low-paying suit symbol into Mystery Bamboo for all remaining spins, and steps the global multiplier up one level. First conversion: +4 spins, multiplier to 2x. Second: +3 spins, multiplier to 3x. Third: +3 spins, multiplier to 5x. Fourth: +2 spins, multiplier to 10x. After the fourth conversion all four suit symbols have been replaced, meaning every Mystery Bamboo on the grid is drawn from the full pool of Wilds, paying symbols and Golden Bamboo triggers.
The Gamble Wheel activates when a Gamble Scatter lands instead of a standard Scatter. It offers the chance to start Free Spins with low symbols already partially or fully converted. The three possible outcomes are: standard entry with no pre-conversions, 7-9 FS with 2 symbols pre-converted, or 8-10 FS with all 4 symbols pre-converted and the 10x step immediately reachable. The wheel also contains a No Prize sector that cancels Free Spins entirely. Mathematically, engaging the Gamble Wheel raises RTP from 96.13% to 96.52% – but the No Prize risk is real.
Big Bamboo offers four Bonus Buy options: 7-9 FS with no pre-conversions at 99x bet (RTP up to 96.94%), 7-9 FS with 2 symbols pre-converted at 179x bet (RTP up to 96.76%), 8-10 FS with all 4 symbols pre-converted at 608x bet (RTP 96.71%), and Mystery Free Spins at 300x bet (RTP up to 96.74%). The 99x entry carries the highest RTP of the four but requires the full Scatter progression to reach 10x. The 608x option delivers immediate maximum conversion but at significant upfront cost. Availability may vary by operator.
