5 Lions Megaways

5 Lions Megaways Overview

5 Lions Megaways is a brand-new game from Pragmatic Play launched into online casinos on the 14^th of June 2021. It’s an Asian-themed slot with high-quality HD graphics to match the theme. The fourth game in the 5 Lions series includes 5 Lions Dance, 5 Lions, and 5 Lions Gold. So, it was about time they gave the series the Megaways treatment so that 5 Lions fans could play a version with 200,704 ways to win!

5 Lions Megaways is played across six reels with an average RTP of 96.5%. You can place bets from as little as £0.20 per spin, up to a maximum of £100 per spin, for your chance to win the maximum jackpot of 5000x your stake. On top of the regular gameplay, Pragmatic has included bonus features like wild symbols, a tumble feature, wild multipliers, and free spins to add more action.

Graphics and Theme

The design of the graphics is certainly inspired by Chinese culture. Animals like the dragon, phoenix, tortoise, koi carp, and toad feature the high paying symbols in the game, all of which have significant meaning. For example, koi carps symbolise strength and perseverance, which you will need to stand a chance of winning the big money in this game. The background to the reels is made up of two wave patterns in two different shades of blue. The reels themselves are encased in a shiny gold border, and the vibrant game logo sits on top of the reels. Finally, the game controls and your balance are located horizontally at the bottom of your screen.

The soundtrack is made from traditional Chinese instruments like the Pipa, the Guzheng, the Erhu, and the Dizi. Together they create a relaxing, rhythmic beat that is great for helping you concentrate on the action unfolding on your screen. The music intensifies when you hit spin, while the reels rotate silently before coming to a stop one by one with a gentle thudding noise. Winning combinations trigger an arcade winning noise, and a loud whooshing sound happens as your winnings are being added to your purse.

The low paying symbols in the game are made up of playing card symbols 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. Kings and aces are worth 1.25x your stake for six of a kind. The high paying symbols include a purple tortoise, a blue koi carp, a green toad, a pink phoenix, and a red dragon. The red dragon is the most valuable and is worth 25x your stake for six of a kind. There is also a wild symbol that can substitute for anything except for the scatter symbols. The wild can only appear on reels two, three, four and five.

Tumble Feature

The tumble feature, sometimes called a cascading wins feature, removes the symbols involved in winning combinations to create new ones to replace them. If the new symbols create more wins, the same happens again until no more wins are made.

Wild Multiplier

Whenever a wild symbol is used in a winning combination, a random multiplier is applied to the win during the base game and tumbles. The possible multiplier values are 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 30x, and 40x.

Free Spins

To trigger the free spins round, you will need to land three or more bonus symbols anywhere on the reels. The bonus symbol also pays out wins for combinations of three or more. Three, four, five or six bonus symbols will pay 3x, 5x, 25x, or 100x your stake.

Before the free spins round starts, you will need to select one of seven free spin options:

• 25 free spins plus 2x, 3x, and 5x wild multipliers
• 20 free spins plus 3x, 5x, and 8x wild multipliers
• 15 free spins plus 5x, 8x, and 10x wild multipliers
• 13 free spins plus 8x, 10x, and 15x wild multipliers
• 10 free spins plus 10x, 15x, and 30x wild multipliers
• 6 free spins plus 15x, 30x, and 40x wild multipliers
• Mystery number of free spins plus a mystery wild multiplier range

If you land three or more bonus symbols during the free spins, you will trigger the same number of free spins as you selected originally. It’s during the free spins round that you can trigger the maximum win of 5000x your stake.
