5 Lions Slot Review

How to play

The 5 Lions slot does not have any paylines but is played with the ‘ways to win’ mechanism. There are 243 different ways to win here, which gives you many chances to land winning combinations. If you land three or more symbols on the reels and they are on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel to the right, you have a winning combination regardless of their positions.

Before you click on the spin button and land these wins, you have to choose the amount you’ll be betting each time. Since there are no paylines, the total bet structure is quite different. It’s made up of multiplying the 50x bet multiplier by the coin value and bet. The coin value is between 0.01 and 0.50, while the bet is between one and 10.

All factors considered, the total betting range is between €0.50 and €250. This range makes it open to all players regardless of their budget. You can also spin the reels and land wins with the autoplay option.

Symbols and payouts

You can expect to see different animal symbols on the reels of the 5 Lions slot, as well as low valued symbols. But, there will still be special symbols unlocking bonuses. There are special symbols like the golden lion head wild and scatter yin-yang symbol. All wins are multiplied by your base bet.

The highest paying symbol on the reels is the golden dragon which will give you 10x, 1x, and 0.50x your base bet for landing five, four, and three. Then, the gold phoenix and frog symbols will reward you with 8x and 1x your base bet for five and four symbols, while they offer 0.35x and 0.30x for three, respectively.

While the fish symbol will give you 3x, 0.50x, and 0.20x your base bet, the turtle symbol offers 3x, 0.35x and 0.15x, for landing five, four, and three symbols on the reels.

Then, there are lower-paying symbols including A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9. They all offer payouts of 2x, 2x, 1x, 1x, 1x, and 1x for landing five symbols on the reels. The wins may look small but remember the base bet goes as high as 10.
