Push Gaming · 2022
Big Bamboo is a high volatility 5x6 video slot from Push Gaming with 50 fixed win lines. The page covers figures, bonus modes and payouts.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account, and players must be 18+.
A 5x6 grid carries the Chinese theme of Big Bamboo, a video slot from Push Gaming with monkeys, a panda and a wild boar among its symbols. The base game plays on 50 fixed win lines shown in the paytable. Two matching symbols on one of those lines are enough to pay, and only the highest win per line is paid. Nine symbols, from WILD to the card suits, fill the grid.
Four card-suit symbols drive the free games through a conversion meter, and each full conversion to bamboo adds bonus spins and a multiplier. Golden Bamboo sets this slot apart: a Mystery Bamboo reveal can uncover a respin where prize, multiplier and collector symbols resolve in turn. A Gamble step follows a free spins trigger, where the award can be collected or risked.

Big Bamboo modes
This block settles how each bonus starts, what it pays and what it costs.
Enough Scatter, BONUS and Gamble Scatter symbols on reels 2-4 award a set of free spins. A right-hand meter tracks four card-suit low symbols. Each low symbol that fully converts to bamboo adds bonus spins and a multiplier. More scatter landings retrigger extra spins.
Base game spinsFree spins, multiplier
A Mystery Bamboo reveal symbol that uncovers a Golden Bamboo symbol starts this respin. Each Golden Bamboo position spins through Instant Prize, Multiplier, Scatter, Gamble Scatter and Collector symbols until resolved. All Instant Prize and Collector values are summed and multiplied by the Base Bet and any landed multipliers.

After a Free Spins trigger, a vertical prize ladder shows with the awarded tier highlighted. You can collect the current award or gamble it for a chance at a higher ladder tier. A losing rung forfeits the free spins entirely.

Four purchasable options share one Base Bet stepper. They cover no low symbols converted, 2 low symbols converted, and 4 low symbols converted, which offers no gamble step. Mystery Free Spins randomly resolves into one of the other three outcomes.

Big Bamboo steps
After reading, you will have set a bet and a session limit before the first spin.
A$0.10 to A$100 is the Base Bet range, and every win is multiplied by this bet. The example tables on this page use A$0.40 and A$2.
Five reels and six rows form the grid, with 50 fixed win lines. Only the highest win per line pays, up to 50,000x the Base Bet per round.
A Mystery Bamboo reveal symbol can uncover a Golden Bamboo, which starts a respin. Instant Prize, Multiplier and Collector symbols then set the total, which is multiplied by the Base Bet.
Enough Scatter or Gamble Scatter symbols on reels 2 to 4 start the Free Games Feature. A set of free spins begins with a Low-Symbol conversion meter on the right.
Set a budget before the first spin, and stop when it is spent. Each spin takes the chosen bet, so the stake per spin decides how quickly the budget runs down.
Big Bamboo pays across 50 fixed win lines on its 5x6 grid, but how often the bonus round arrives is not known in advance. No one can predict the next trigger from earlier spins. Whatever the RTP version, the result of one session is random, so a short run can finish far above or below its expected return.
Six RTP versions of Big Bamboo exist, and only the game rules show which one Royalreels Casino runs. Open the rules in the game before you play and compare the version you see with the table above.
x50,000 the Base Bet is the ceiling of Big Bamboo, a maximum win reached very rarely. The cap limits each round's payout; it does not promise that any session reaches it. Read the maximum win as a limit on the payout, not as a result you can expect.

Five short replies
Useful before the first spin, when you want the rules, bets and win cap in one place.
96.13% is the lowest RTP in the Big Bamboo series, and its 50,000x win cap is below the 75,000x of Big Bamboo 2. Big Bamboo comes in six RTP versions, from 96.13% up to 96.94%, so the version decides the figure.
A$0.10 is the lowest Base Bet, and A$100 is the highest bet allowed here. The tables on this page use A$0.40 and A$2 as examples, so a player can check the payouts at those stakes.
The 5x6 grid of Big Bamboo carries high volatility, so wins come in bigger, less regular steps. How often the bonus lands cannot be known in advance.
Reels 2 to 4 carry the trigger, which needs enough Scatter, BONUS and Gamble Scatter symbols to land. During the round, each low symbol that fully converts to bamboo adds bonus spins and a multiplier.
50,000x the Base Bet is the cap per round, which comes to A$100,000 at the A$2 example bet and A$5,000,000 at the A$100 top bet. Only the highest win per line is paid.
