Panda, monkey and wild boar share a 5x6 grid in a Chinese mountain setting where 50 fixed win lines run left to right, and only the best win on each line counts. Two matching symbols are enough for the lowest-paying card suits, so the board fills often and the top three animals carry the bigger line payouts. Wild symbols substitute for the regular set along those lines.
Where most Push Gaming releases lean on one bonus, this one layers a Low-Symbol conversion meter over its Free Games, adds a Mystery Bamboo respin that cycles through Instant Prizes and Collectors, and puts a prize-ladder gamble between you and the award. Its win cap sits near the top of the studio's range.

After this, you will know how each bonus starts, what it awards and what it costs.
Reels 2-4 start it. Enough Scatter/BONUS and Gamble Scatter symbols there award a set of free spins, with a right-hand Low-Symbol conversion meter of four card-suit symbols. Each low symbol that fully converts to bamboo adds bonus spins and a multiplier. Further scatter landings retrigger extra spins.
Base gameExtra free spins
Mystery Bamboo reveal symbol uncovers a Golden Bamboo symbol underneath. 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 Multiplier and low-symbol-conversion multipliers.

A vertical prize ladder appears after a Free Spins trigger, with the awarded tier highlighted. The player collects the current award or gambles 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: no low symbols converted, 2 low symbols converted, 4 low symbols converted with no gamble step, and Mystery Free Spins. Mystery Free Spins randomly resolves into one of the other three outcomes.

Round walkthrough
The usual worry is not knowing what happens after the bet, so each round runs in order here.
Pick a Base Bet between A$0.10 and A$100 before the first spin. The bet sets every payout, and the win cap of 50,000 times the bet applies to each round.
The 5x6 grid has 50 fixed win lines, and each line pays only its highest win. A line can pay from as few as two symbols.
A Mystery Bamboo can uncover a Golden Bamboo, which starts a respin. Its Instant Prize and Collector values are added up and multiplied by the Base Bet and any landed Multiplier.
Enough Scatter or BONUS symbols on reels 2 to 4 start the Free Games Feature. A Low-Symbol conversion meter on the right adds spins and a multiplier with each full conversion.
Set a budget before the first spin, since no session can be predicted. Each spin costs the Base Bet, from A$0.10 upward.
The 5x6 grid and 50 win lines say nothing about how often the Free Games Feature arrives. That frequency is not known in advance for any session. Each spin is random, so one session can bring the bonus early, late, or not at all. Whichever RTP version runs, the result of one session stays random and can land far from the RTP.
Six RTP versions of Big Bamboo exist. Which one Top Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so the version in play is never a guess. Every figure in the table is based on A$100 staked, and an A$0.50 bet returns the same percentage of its stake.
The x50,000 cap is a ceiling that is reached very rarely, not a typical outcome. It is measured against the current Base Bet per round, so the same cap grows with a larger bet. A session can end far below it, and no player can plan around reaching it.
Big Bamboo facts
You leave knowing what the bonus costs, how the RTP versions differ and how free spins start.
Yes, Bonus Buy is available with four options. At the A$5 example bet, No Low Symbols Converted costs A$495 and Mystery Free Spins costs A$1,500. The Mystery option randomly resolves into one of the other three outcomes.
The slot runs six RTP versions, from 96.13 to 96.94 percent. RTP is the theoretical return on A$100 staked, so the 96.94 percent version pays back more over the long run than the 96.13 percent one. A single session can end well above or below either figure.
Big Bamboo 2 reaches 75,000 times the bet and returns 96.36 percent. Happy Bamboo returns 96.31 percent, and Bamboo Ways returns 96.30 percent with a 25,000 times cap. Big Bamboo itself caps wins at 50,000 times the bet.
Free spins start when enough Scatter and Gamble Scatter symbols land on reels 2 to 4. Each further Scatter landing during the feature adds extra spins. A low symbol that fully converts to bamboo adds bonus spins and a multiplier.
