5 Lions Gold

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 8 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base gameFive reels, three rows and 243 ways to win — the figure is repeated on the gilded posts either side of the grid. The three jackpot banners run across the top of the screen, a lion mask sits above every reel, and the bet shown at the bottom is $1.80.
Game rulesThe paytable at the $1.80 bet: the red dragon is the only symbol that already pays on two, at $0.20, and climbs to $12.60 for five, ahead of the phoenix and the toad at $8.10; the card ranks drop to $1.80 for five nines. The diagram underneath is a reminder that the 243 ways are counted left to right across adjacent reels.
Game rulesThe two special symbols: the golden lion mask is the wild, it substitutes for everything but the yin-yang and lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4 — precisely the reels, and the only ones, where the yin-yang SCATTER shows up, three of which open the free spins.
Free spins rulesThe free spins page: three SCATTER symbols trigger them, and the player picks one option out of seven before the round starts. On every spin a multiplier is drawn at random from the range attached to the chosen option, and it applies to any winning combination holding at least one wild.
Free spins optionsThe seven free spins options, trading volume against multiplier: 25 spins with wilds at 2x, 3x or 5x at one end, 6 spins at 15x, 30x or 40x at the other, and four steps in between. The seventh, MYSTERY, draws both the spin count and the multiplier range from the other six; three SCATTER symbols during the round start a fresh one, with no cap on retriggers.
Golden reels jackpotThe Golden Reels Jackpot page: on every spin, random reels turn to gold, and it takes three of them for the Minor, four for the Major, five for the Grand — 2,000x the total bet for that last one. The feature stays live during the free spins round.
Game rules, page 6The Caishen Random Award: on any spin, a feature can drop unannounced — either a free spins round or a bonus game. The grid pictured at the foot of the page is that bonus game: nine coins to turn over, and three matching GRAND, MAJOR or MINOR symbols award the matching jackpot.
Game rulesThe page where the game states its own figures: volatility declared low, a maximum RTP of 96.5% and a minimum RTP of 95.94% — the studio publishes a range, and the rate actually served depends on the tier the operator picks. The same page sets the bet between $0.18 and $243.00.
