5 Lions Megaways Slot Overview<\/h2>\n

The Fu Lions are back to guard the treasure once again in 5 Lions Megaways from Pragmatic Play<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pragmatic Play have been gracing the iGaming community with 5 Lions slots since 2018, when they released their first slot in the series, 5 Lions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

5 Lions was succeeded by 5 Lions Gold<\/strong> in 2019, and 5 Lions Dance<\/strong> came a year later in 2020.<\/p>\n

Some may say that it was merely a matter of time until Pragmatic Play decided to put a Megaways spin on this slot, but will 5 Lions Megaways outshine its predecessors? With up to 200,704 possible ways to win<\/strong>, 5 Lions Megaways has certainly piqued our interest.<\/p>\n

In this 5 Lions Slot Review, we’ll be breaking down everything you need to know about 5 Lions Megaways to see if the treasure that the Fu Lions are so diligently guarding is worth pursuing.<\/p>\n

5 Lions Megaways Slot Theme<\/h2>\n

The theme for 5 Lions Megaways is pretty much exactly what you’d expect an Asian themed slot to look like.<\/p>\n

In the background you’ve got the illustrations of some waves but the foreground will undoubtedly grab your attention more with an imperial temple style golden reel border.<\/p>\n

The theme inspiration in 5 Lions Megaways comes from what are called Feng Shui Dogs, or to put it simply, Guardian Lions. These Guardian Lions are referred to by many names in western society, and their story and purpose gives an interesting insight in to the diverse culture of China.<\/p>\n

Typically found in pairs, these guardian lions stand proud in front of Chinese imperial palaces, and their presence is thought to have powerful and mythic protective benefits.<\/p>\n

These symbolic statues and other interesting aspects of Asian Culture regularly make for an intriguing theme in the iGaming world, so it’s no wonder that Pragmatic Play have chosen to utilise it once more in their latest 5 Lions Megaways Slot.<\/p>\n

Can the gameplay be as interesting as the theme and the story behind it? Let’s find out.<\/p>\n

5 Lions Megaways: Betting and Symbols<\/h2>\n

The Betting options in 5 Lions Megaways has the usual, diverse Pragmatic Play settings.<\/p>\n

Bet options in 5 Lions Megaways may be changed by Bet Level, Coin Value, or Total Bet<\/strong>. The lowest option here is \u00a3\/\u20ac0.20<\/strong> per spin, and the highest option is \u00a3\/\u20ac100<\/strong> per spin if you don’t include the Ante Bet setting.<\/p>\n

The Ante Bet setting<\/strong> is a setting that we’ve seen regularly from Pragmatic Play slots. This allows you to increase your stake by 25%<\/strong> which gives you double the chance to win the feature.<\/p>\n

Some may see this option as a plus, and understandably so, but on the other hand it doesn’t inspire much confidence on the slots ability to feature without this option, so sometimes you feel like you’re annoyingly inclined to activate it.<\/p>\n

When we look to the Symbols, the Dragon Symbol<\/strong> reigns supreme as the highest paying symbol in the game. Following on from this is the Phoenix<\/strong>, Frog<\/strong>, Koi Fish<\/strong> and Turtle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Low paying Symbols are Ace<\/strong>, King<\/strong>, Queen<\/strong>, Jack<\/strong> and 10<\/strong>, and the Fu Lion acts as the Wild Symbol<\/strong> in this slot.<\/p>\n

5 Lions Megaways: The Base Game and Feature<\/h2>\n

The Base Game for 5 Lions Megaways offers up some classic Megaways Slot<\/a> functionality for those who prefer what could be considered the conventional method of doing it.<\/p>\n

In order to form a win, you’ll need to match at least 3 symbols from left to right<\/strong>, starting from the left-most reel. Reels 1 and 6 may have up to 7 symbols on each reel, and reels 2, 3 4 and 5 may have up to 8 symbols.<\/p>\n

Because of this, the maximum number of winning ways in 5 Lions Megaways is 200,704<\/strong> instead of the ‘standard’ 117,649 ways. Increased number of winning ways is certainly a good sign to start with, but what else does 5 Lions Megaways offer?<\/p>\n

For one, winning symbols in 5 Lions Megaways have a cascade feature<\/strong>. This means that winning combinations are removed, which leaves space for new symbols to fall in via a cascade to create further winning combos.,<\/p>\n

This all sounds pretty standard so far, but one thing that isn’t quite standard is the Wild Multiplier<\/strong> that is available within the Base Game.<\/p>\n

Wild Multiplier Feature<\/h2>\n

Whenever a Wild symbol is part of a winning combination, then a random multiplier is applied to all combinations that used the Wild<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It looks as if some impressive multipliers are available even within the Base Game.<\/p>\n

The possible values are:<\/p>\n
