Push Gaming recently introduced a new game called Big Bam-Book, featuring its well-known character, the adventurous panda. This game incorporates classic gaming elements with a unique twist. The theme revolves around popular book motifs, combined with the escapades of the beloved panda character.
Mystery symbols play a crucial role in offering significant winning opportunities in both the base game and the free spins feature.
Martial arts theme
Set in a mystical realm inhabited by martial arts experts in animal form, players are invited to join these warrior creatures on a quest to unravel the secrets hidden within ancient books. During gameplay, both the base game and free spins rounds can unveil mystery bamboo symbols, which can reveal either regular paying symbols or special golden mystery bamboo symbols.
Free spins
To trigger these golden mystery bamboo symbols, three mysteries must be uncovered. These golden icons also have the ability to disclose scatters, leading to instant prize wins, a feature exclusively found in the bonus round.
In the free spins feature, scatters have the potential to appear anywhere on the reels and are collected in a multiplier meter. Players are then challenged to advance through levels one to four, with each stage offering increased multipliers and granting five extra spins per progression.
Push Bet™
Players looking to enhance their winning odds can leverage the bonus buy feature and Push Gaming’s unique Push Bet™ option. These features aim to elevate the gaming experience, drawing inspiration from the ethos of noble ninjas in the pursuit of thrilling victories.
Jack Marshall, Junior Game Producer, said:
Big Bam-Book has a cool range of features and there’s heaps of action for players to sink their teeth into. The mystery symbols in the base game and free spins feature give the game great winning potential.
My favourite aspect of the game is in the free spins round when the Golden Mystery Reveal occurs – watching the instant prizes spin through is a thrilling experience.”
Everyone who worked on this game should be super proud, they’ve all done an outstanding job which is clear in the final game. We hope players love it!”

The Book scatters can land anywhere and 3 will award you 8 free games, starting at level 1 with no multiplier. Landing 4 scatters earns 12 spins and starts you at 2x and all 5 give 15 spins starting at 3x.
