Panther Moon: a black cat in a moonlit jungle

Night in the jungle

Panther Moon belongs to Playtech's older generation of slots, when themes were simple and rules fitted on one screen. The panther, sleek and black, is the star; around it are other creatures of the jungle night and exotic flowers, plus card ranks. The background is a deep blue night, lit by a huge moon. It is calm to look at and quick to play.

The panther and the moon

The panther is the wild. It substitutes for the regular symbols and helps fill out lines, and wins it is part of are boosted, which makes a line with two or three panthers worth watching.

The moon is the scatter. It pays wherever it lands, and enough moons trigger the free games, during which wins are multiplied. More moons during the round can extend it. Like most Playtech classics of that era, the bonus is a straightforward, fixed affair: no picks, no wheel, just spins with a multiplier and the hope that the panther shows up.
