5 Lucky Lions

5 Lucky Lions, one of the new free online slots from Habanero, is a 6-reel, 4-row slot that features 88 pay lines. This Asian- theme takes advantage of how popular lions are in Chinese culture and has as many symbols as possible gracing the reels. Overall the slot is interesting, with some elements that feel positively unique and a fair share of great features too.

Players are taken to a distant temple which appears peaceful but very quickly turns into a battlefield for treasure hunters. The number 88 symbolizes good fortune and wealth in Chinese culture. Being a progressive jackpot title there is a chance that a single hand could produce a coin jackpot. Complete with wilds, scatters and free spins with stacked lion symbols, let’s take a look and see what else this game can provide.

Bets and prizes: overview of 5 Lucky Lions

This slot can be very expensive to play and that is not just because of the 88 pay lines which have to be covered. The line bet starts from just $0.01 so the minimum bet is $0.88 however it can increase rather quickly and go up to $50 per line making a whopping $4,400 per spin in total. With 10 betting levels, the combinations are vast and will appeal and please players of all levels, beginner or experienced.

Fortunately, the prizes are also worth some phenomenal amounts, this is due to the high bet amounts. For every top paying combination there is a reward between x1,000 the line bet up to $50,000 whereas landing six of the scatter symbols pays an enormous and life changing amount of $440,000.

As well as these spectacular prizes the game offers various progressive jackpots with the Grand being the best one, better still when it’s won it resets to a favourable $50,000 and begins to rise again. The return to player is really pleasing for this new game and stands between 96.51% - 96.79%.

Game mechanics and Symbols

5 Lucky Lions uses the same gaming mechanisms as most of the newer releases from Habanero and this slot can be played for fun and for real money. I would always recommend playing for fun before betting with real money as there is no better way to learn the ropes so to speak, how the betting works and how to land the wins.

Features

The wild can substitute for all other symbols with the exception of the scatter to create winning combinations. The scatter is the symbol that will activate the 5 Lucky Lions Bonus Pick feature, and this is what determines the number of free spins that are rewarded. The red, purple, yellow, blue and green lions award 8, 10, 12, 15 or 18 free games, respectively. At all times in this bonus round four of the lions that have been selected stay stacked on any of the reels whilst the progressive jackpot can kick in at any time.

Usually, wilds can substitute for all symbols apart from the scatter to assist creating winning combinations and not only can the scatter activate the 5 Lucky Lions Bonus Pick feature as explained above but it also has the ability to turn the wilds into symbols with the highest pay outs with 3, 4, 5 or 6 awarding 50, 100, 500 or 1,000 coins, respectively. These wilds can very quickly change into scatters and landing anywhere between 3 – 6 will reward 3 – 100 coins.

Conclusion

5 Lucky Lions is a real challenge but one that can be highly rewarding and is a title that we can happily recommend to new players and experienced alike. With the information above we hope that you will soon be taking away the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot sometime soon.
