5 Lions Megaways

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 gameSix reels that do not all carry the same number of symbols — two here, three there — and a MEGAWAYS counter at the top right reading 144 combinations for this drop. The bet is $2.00, and the red dragon, the game's top-paying symbol, sits at the foot of the third reel.
Game rules, page 1The paytable at the $2.00 bet: the red dragon pays $50.00 for six, well ahead of the phoenix and the toad at $10.00, and the card ranks top out at $2.50. Bottom left, the golden lion mask — the wild, which substitutes for everything but the yin-yang and lands only on reels 2 to 5; right, the diagram for wins, paid left to right on adjacent reels whatever the size of the symbols.
Tumble featureThree mechanics on one page: the Tumble feature, which removes winning symbols and refills from above as long as a new win forms; the wild multiplier, drawn from 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 30x and 40x whenever a wild joins a combination in the base game; and the yin-yang scatter, present on every reel, paying 3x the total bet for three and 100x for six, and never exploding during tumbles.
Game rules, page 3The seven free spins options, chosen before the round begins: 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 scatters during the round add as many spins as the option picked.
Ante betThe ante bet and the buy on one page: raising the bet multiplier from 20x to 25x doubles the chance of reaching the free spins naturally, leaving the paytable untouched — but it switches the buy off. The buy triggers the feature, option choice included, for 100x the current total bet. The page also states that the win is capped at 5,000x the bet and that the round stops dead once that cap is hit.
Game rulesThe page where the game states its own figures: volatility declared high and a theoretical RTP of 96.50%, the same whether you play normally, with the ante bet, or by buying the free spins. The same page sets the bet between $0.20 and $300.00.
How to playThe controls page: plus and minus change the bet and open the bet menu, the three-bar icon opens the settings, the chevron button cycles through spin speeds — normal, quick, turbo. Clicking CREDIT or BET switches the readout between coins and cash, and the AUTOPLAY button opens automatic play, which a second click stops.
Settings menuThe settings menu — intro screen, ambient sound, effects, game history — then the bet menu, which shows the available multiplier and the total bet in coins as well as cash. The paragraph at the foot repeats the cap: once a round reaches 5,000x the bet it stops, the win is paid up to the cap, and any remaining features are forfeited.
