Pandamonium is a 3 reel machine with a trail feature entry. The reel bands have overlaid numbers overprinted on them which add to a trail which has 7 positions. The trail can hold over game to game, keeping the current position and adding new numbers from there onwards. The trail overflows into the pay table, so as well as getting a reelwin, the player can also win by getting more than 7 numbers in the trail.

The feature is made up of a 20 position lapper board, a cashpot and 2 stacks for nudges and features. The player moves around the lapper by rolling a 4th reel that has numbers from 1 to 12. There are nudge, feature and cash squares that add a random amount to their respective pots. There is also a Multi Add square which adds a random amount to all the pots, and also a number of ‘?’ squares which have various outcomes, some of which are good, some are bad.
The player moves around the board collecting things in the stacks, and either collects a stack or eventually loses by landing on a ‘?’ and getting a losing outcome.
The Feature stack is made up of the following features:
Head Banger
“Head Banger” guarantees a reel win on the game. Collecting this feature will return the player to the reel view and spin in a win.
Smells Like Teen Panda
This feature uses the cash pay table on the right hand side and gives the player a skill shot up and down those values.
Maximum Overdrive
Player shoots an award from the cash shot pot, they get this win and then get a repeat chance on the amount, winning it again if they get a yes, stopping when they get a no.
Eat, Shoot & Leave
This is a stoppa win feature in which the player must hit the stop button to get the light to choose a group of two wins from the paytable multipliers. The player wins the combined value of all these wins.
Turn It Up
This feature shows the player 3 different valued prizes in the text window. Then these are hidden and moved around the text window quickly. The player has to follow the prizes around and then pick one. The object is to follow the highest of the three prizes and select it.
Bamboozled
“Bamboozled” is a reel-based feature in which the view returns to the reel view. The reels start spinning in front of the player’s eyes. The player will have time to notice a win on the reels and a skillful player will be able to stop the reel in an advantageous position. After a while the reel will stop anyway either in a winning or losing position depending on how generous the game is feeling.
Mosh Pit!
The player is returned to the reels view where the feature runs. First the player must select a reel of their choice. Then they must select a symbol on the reel, which has the highest value. The player wins the amount paid by three of these chosen symbols.
Rock Out!
Rock Out! is a pick-a-win feature, which again reverts to the reel view to run. The player is shown a series of wins one after the other. It is up to the user to collect one of those wins or wait for the next one that could be larger. After a while if the player gets too greedy the feature stops and collects the win that it finds itself on.
Hot For Panda
This feature is a win series, again played out on the reels. The game automatically runs through a number of wins, which are all added to the players, win pot. The player will usually get a pretty decent cash prize from this feature.
Eye Of The Panda
The Jackpot! This pays the jackpot by highlighting the jackpot on the paytable with a winning animation. It then offers a repeat chance, and if it repeats dapples around the wins on the paytable, until the player shoots one out whereupon it is added to the total win. The repeat is offered again until it doesn’t award the repeat.
