Play 5 Lions Megaways For Real Prizes
5 Lions Megaways
This popular slot is the first Megaways game from the 5 Lions series, which includes:
Just like its prequels and sequel, there’s a resplendent Chinese theme with everything looking beautiful and shiny; many of the symbols here are some kind of golden animal statue. And it’s a Megaways title, so you’ll want to land the same base symbols from left to right – doesn’t matter which row they’re on. We have the cascading feature too, which means any winning symbols disappear and make space on the grid for a new batch to drop into.
In the base game, the lion Wild symbol shows up from time to time, helping to complete lines like a wildcard, and when it does, a random multiplier can be applied to the win. In short, wins with Wilds in (rather than just base symbols) are usually going to win bigger.
Then, with 3 yin-yang Scatter symbols you’ll head into the free spins, where you can select from an array of options which decide how many free spins you’ll get and what multipliers are available. A high amount of spins is paired with low multipliers and vice versa, or you can mix it up and pick the mystery option.
