5 Lions Gold Slot Review

How to play

The 5 Lions Gold slot is played with 243 ways to win, which means there are no paylines and slightly different gameplay from other styles that you might be used to. It is played on five reels and three rows, and a bet multiplier of 18. Since there are no paylines, however, your bets are calculated in a different way compared to most other slots.

The total bet is calculated by multiplying the 18x bet multiplier by the bet and coin value. It is within a range of 0.18 and 90, making the slot ideal for all players regardless of their budget.

After you select your bet, you can click on the spin or autoplay button. Wins are not created on patterns or paylines in this slot. Instead, you have to land matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. The position of the symbols on the reels don’t matter, as long as they are adjacent and starting from the first reel.

Symbols and payouts

When looking at the symbols of the 5 Lions Gold slot, they will remind you of the 5 Lions slot, although the latter seems more golden than the former. All wins are multiplied by the base bet. The game features some special symbols, including the gold lion wild and the scatter, which is a yin-yang symbol.

The highest paying symbol on the reels is a dragon with a payout of 126x, 45x, 15x, and 2x your base bet for landing five, four, three, and two symbols from left to right.

Next are the phoenix and frog symbols with the same rewards of 81x, 30x, and 12x your base bet for hitting five, four, and three of a kind.

Then, the fish and turtle symbols will give players 63x, 24x, and 9x your base bet when you land five, four, and three symbols across the reels.

The slot also features low-paying symbols, including A and K with the same rewards of 36x, 12x, and 4x your base bet for hitting five, four, and three, while Q and J offer payouts of 27x, 9x, and 3x. Finally, the 10 and 9 symbols will reward players with 18x, 6x and 2x, for landing five, four, and three of a kind.

Best 5 Lions Gold bonus features

You can land some really good wins here with the many 5 Lions Gold bonus features. At the top of the list is the gold lion head, acting as the wild. It only appears on the second, third, and fourth reels, and can substitute for other symbols except the scatter.

The scatter is the yin-yang symbol and if you land three on the second, third, and fourth reels, you unlock the 5 Lions Gold free spins round. You will be asked to choose one out of 7 options. The options consist of free spins and multiplier pairs. You can play with up to 25 free spins and a 40x multiplier depending on the choices you go for. There is one option that gives you a random number of free spins and multipliers, in case you have trouble choosing.

Then, we have the Golden Reels Jackpot feature. As you play the game, random reels turn to gold. If you can turn three reels gold, you get the Minor Jackpot which is 15x your total bet. For four gold reels, it’s the Major Jackpot with 150x your total bet. If you turn all five reels gold, you get the Grand Jackpot of 2,000x your total bet.

There is also a random bonus feature that can be triggered after any spin. It will either give you the free spins or Golden Reels jackpot.
