Lucky Ailurus

Lucky Ailurus Overview

Lucky Ailurus is a bamboo-forest slot from KA Gaming, released on 23 August 2023. Its hero is the red panda (Ailurus fulgens, the animal that gives the game its name). The game runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines. SlotCatalog lists a 96% RTP (with several RTP versions) and stakes from 0.25 to 125 per spin; no volatility rating or maximum win is published.

Symbols and Paytable

The reels sit inside a bamboo frame. Our paytable screenshot is shown at a $125 total bet ($5 per line):

• Leaf-wrapped parcel: 5 = $5,000 (40x), 4 = $2,000, 3 = $500
• Leather satchel: $2,500 / $1,000 / $400
• Fruit basket: $1,500 / $750 / $200
• Chrysanthemum and fan: $1,000 / $500 / $100
• A: $500 / $250 / $50  ·  K: $500 / $200 / $50
• Q: $200 / $100 / $50  ·  J: $150 / $75 / $50  ·  10: $125 / $75 / $25

Reading the Paytable

With the bet spread over 25 lines, every figure above is a multiple of the $5 line stake. Five leaf-wrapped parcels pay 1,000 times the line bet, which is 40x the total bet, while three 10s pay 5 times the line bet. The gap between the top symbol and the letters is wide here, so the premium symbols matter far more than in a ways game: one line of five parcels is worth as much as two hundred lines of three 10s.

The Red Panda Wild

The red panda is the WILD. In our screenshots it appears as a regular symbol and also as a tall panda filling a whole reel; SlotCatalog describes these as the regular wild and the Mega symbol. Three wins from the demo show how it helps:

• $525 (4.2x) – a wild on the middle reels joined several line wins, with line 12 alone paying $25.
• $300 (2.4x) – the full-reel panda on reel 2 completed a line worth $100 on line 25 and more wins besides.
• $100 – two 10s and a panda wild paid $25 on line 2, with other lines adding up.
• $50 – a spin without the wild, where line 1 paid $25 and the other lines added another $25.

Multiplier and Free Spins

A round badge in the top right corner shows the current multiplier, x1 in all our base-game screenshots. According to SlotCatalog, the multiplier can rise to 4x and the game awards up to 25 free spins. The free spins round itself is not shown in our screenshots, so we cannot say how many scatters trigger it or how the multiplier climbs during the round.

Theme and Presentation

The setting is a misty bamboo forest in soft greens and blues, with tall stalks framing the grid. The premium symbols follow the forest-and-festival mood: a parcel wrapped in bamboo leaves, a travel satchel, a basket of grapes and fruit, a golden chrysanthemum and a pink folding fan. The card letters are drawn in bright bamboo-style colours.

A “25 LINES” marker sits on both sides of the frame, and a banner above the reels names the line that paid, such as “LINE 25 WINS $100.00”. New Bet and Max Bet flank the spin button, and holding it starts autospin.

Who It Is For

Lucky Ailurus suits players who prefer classic payline slots with a clear paytable and one strong special symbol. The red panda wild, especially in its full-reel form, drives most of the base-game wins, while the multiplier and the free spins are where the larger results come from.
