5 Lions Megaways is an online slot game developed by Pragmatic Play, featuring an Asian theme with symbols such as dragons, phoenixes, frogs, fish, and turtles. The game operates on a 6-reel system with up to 7 rows per reel, utilizing the Megaways mechanic to offer up to 117,649 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.
Key Features:
-
Tumble Feature: After a winning combination occurs, the symbols involved are removed, allowing new symbols to drop into the empty spaces. This process can lead to consecutive wins from a single spin and continues until no new winning combinations are formed.
-
Wild Symbols: Represented by the Golden Lion, wilds can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, substituting for all symbols except the Yin-Yang scatter to help form winning combinations. In the base game, when a wild contributes to a win, a random multiplier of up to 40x is applied.
-
Free Spins Feature: Triggered by landing three or more Yin-Yang scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Before the free spins commence, players choose from several options combining different numbers of free spins and associated wild multipliers. For example, selecting 25 free spins pairs with multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x, while choosing 6 free spins offers higher multipliers of 15x, 30x, or 40x. There's also a mystery option that randomly assigns a combination of free spins and multipliers. During free spins, landing three or more scatters retriggers the feature, granting the same number of spins initially chosen.
-
Ante Bet Feature: Players can increase their bet multiplier to 25x, which doubles the chance of triggering the free spins feature by adding more scatter symbols to the reels.
The game has a Return to Player (RTP) rate of 96.50% and is considered highly volatile, offering the potential for significant wins, though they may occur less frequently. The maximum win is capped at 5,000 times the player's stake.
