We haven’t seen an Asian slot from Push Gaming for quite a while, which is surprising when you consider the success of one of the developer’s flagship slots, Big Bamboo. However, Push Gaming has decided now is the time to put that right, and this slot looks like some kind of follow-up to that excellent game. It once again features a Panda Bear and his animal mates and shares some similar features. However, the reel configuration couldn’t be more different as Big Bam-Book has 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 paylines. It also has a 96.31% RTP, and a smaller maximum win of 10,000x the stake.
As for the features, Mystery Bamboo and Golden Mystery Bamboo symbols return from the original. The regular kind can reveal wilds, the same type of regular symbol, or even the Golden Mystery symbols, which can reveal instant prizes of up to 100x the stake. The ultimate aim is to trigger the free spins bonus, and in Big Bam-Book, you can collect scatters to climb through levels, offering an improved win multiplier of up to 10x that applies to Golden Bamboo payouts.
Big Bamboo is a tough act to follow, but you can usually count on Push Gaming to create excellent slots. If you want to see if this one is anywhere near as good as the original, check out the Big Bam-Book slot demo below.

Big Bam-Book slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols
Experienced slot players will know that animals are often used as slot themes. However, the Panda, until recently, isn’t one that you tended to see take centre stage on a regular basis. Things have now changed, though, and if it happens to be one of your favourite animals, there are plenty more online slot games for you to check out that feature it. For example, there’s Pragmatic Play’s Panda’s Fortune 2, Panda Money Megaways from Big Time Gaming, and Slotmill’s Cash Pandas to name just a few to get you started.
Onto the pays section now, and the Wild symbol, which also substitutes for regular symbols when winning combinations are possible, shares the top payout with the Panda symbol on Big Bam-Book, and both return 250x the stake for five symbol combinations. The Monkey has a payout of 100x, and the Wolf is the last of the high pays with a max win of 50x. The Nun Chuks, Throwing Stars, and Daggers represent the medium pays, and all share a 12.5x maximum reward, whilst the low pays come in the form of the Hearts, Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds, with each sharing a 5x maximum return.
We’ve just got the betting range to discuss for this part of the review, and low-rollers will be pleased to see they can start the reels rolling from just €0.10 a spin, whilst the high-rollers among you can place bets up to a max of €100.
Big Bam-Book slot base game
Push Gaming has kept things simple regarding the reel configuration of Big Bam-Book, with the slot offering just 10 paylines across its 5 reels and 3 rows. To form winning combinations, you must land two or more of the top-paying symbols or wild symbols or three or more of all others across a payline from left to right.
Mystery Bamboo Symbols
Whenever three or more Mystery Bamboo Symbols land in any position on the reels, they expand to fill their reels. They then reveal wild symbols, the same paying symbol, or Golden Mystery Bamboo symbols. If the latter, they then reveal an instant cash prize of between 1x and 100x the stake.
Push Bet Options
There are three Push Bet options to consider:
- Scatters: For 20% on top of your current spin bet, you’ll spin with an increased chance to land scatter symbols.
- Mystery Symbols: Also for 20% on top, you can spin with an increased chance of landing Mystery Symbols.
- Mysteries and Scatters: For 40% on top, you spin with an increased chance to land Mystery symbols and scatters.
Big Bam-Book slot bonus features
The main bonus game on Big Bam-Book is a free spins bonus with four levels of multipliers. You need to land at least 3 scatter symbols anywhere in view to trigger the free spins bonus. In return for 3, you receive 8 spins at Level 0; for 4, you get 12 at Level 1. If 5 scatters trigger the bonus, you receive 15 spins and start at Level 2.
Free Spins Feature
Scatters that land during the free spins bonus are collected in a meter, and each time 4 are collected, you move up to the next level. The following are the levels and their rewards:
- Level 1: A 2x win multiplier and 5 additional free spins.
- Level 2: A 3x win multiplier and 5 additional free spins.
- Level 3: A 5x win multiplier and 5 additional free spins.
- Level 4: A 10x win multiplier and 5 additional free spins.
Those win multipliers will only apply to wins from the Golden Mystery Symbols.
Bonus Buy
Big Bam-Book has the following bonus buy options for those players who are able to access them.
- 3 Scatter Symbol Free Spins:: 63.6x the current spin bet.
- 4 Scatter Symbol Free Spins:: 138.2x.
- 5 Scatter Symbol Free Spins:: 187.6x.
- Random Scatter Symbols Free Spins: 100x.
Pros
- High-quality production, as you’d expect from Push Gaming.
- A different take on the "book genre"
Cons
- At the end of the day it's still another book slot.
It's always an interesting prospect when developers enter a well-known slot niche but have unique game mechanics to throw into the mix. Yes, ultimately, you can argue that Big Bam-Book is just another expanding symbol game, but with Push Gaming's features added into the pot, it's a game that's worth exploring and one that offers something a little different from the norm.
