Pink Panther (NTC33): symbols, Pink Pow wilds and the Crack the Pink Code safes

This NTC33 (Newtown) slot is built around the classic cartoon panther and the detective who never quite catches him. The reels are all about the character; the two bonus features are where the interesting decisions, and most of the variety, sit.

Pink Panther symbols on the reels

The picture symbols are the vintage panther, bombs, villains, Inspector Clouseau, pink paint cans, pink paw prints and a magnifying glass, all things you would connect with the cartoon. The lower-paying symbols are the standard card ranks 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.

Pink Pow: instant wilds

The Pink Pow Bonus does what the name suggests. It blows up somewhere between 2 and 6 symbols on the reels and turns them wild. More wilds on the screen means more chances for lines to connect, so this is the feature that can rescue an otherwise flat spin.

Crack the Pink Code and the free spins

The second feature is a pick round. You are shown 10 safes and open them one by one. Each can hold something for the free spins that follow: extra free spins, expanding wilds or multipliers.

You keep collecting until you open the safe with the explosives. That ends the hunt, and the free spins start with everything you gathered.

The picks are random, so there is no clever order to open them in. Treat it as a bonus that builds up rather than something you can steer.

Before you spin

Set your stake so a long gap between features does not wreck your budget, since both bonuses are where the larger wins tend to come from. You can play Pink Panther on NTC33 or read more NTC33 game notes.
