5 Lions

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 of three rows, with the number 243 engraved down each side of the frame: that many ways to win in the base game. No buy button anywhere in the furniture — the feature only comes off the reels. On this spin the yin-yang Scatter and the golden lion mask, the Wild, sit side by side in the bottom left.
Game rulesThe paytable at the $2.00 bet shown at the bottom: five dragons pay $40.00, the phoenix and the toad $32.00, the fish and the turtle $12.00, the ace and the king $8.00, the four other cards $4.00. Below, the two configurations the game sets side by side: 243 ways to win, and 576 during the free spins.
Game rulesThe lion mask is the Wild: it stands in for everything except the Scatter and only lands on reels 2, 3 and 4. On every spin the game draws a multiplier at random from 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 30x or 40x, applied at the end of the spin to every combination holding at least one Wild. Below, the yin-yang Scatter, present on all five reels, pays 20x the total bet for five, 5x for four, 2x for three.
Free spins rulesWhat changes once the round starts: the grid itself is reshaped. Three symbols are added to the top of reels 2, 3 and 4, and the game moves from 243 to 576 ways to win for the whole of the feature. The diagram also recalls that wins still read left to right on adjacent reels, and that the multiplier drawn on each spin comes from the range picked before the start.
Free spins optionsThe seven options, from the longest to the strongest: 25 spins with Wild multipliers of 2x, 3x or 5x, down to 6 spins with 15x, 30x or 40x. The pink lion draws both the spin count and the multiplier range from the other options. Three Scatters during the round open a fresh feature, played at the end of the current one, with the right to pick a different option — and the game states there is no limit on the number of retriggers.
Game rulesThe page of the game's figures: a theoretical RTP of 96.5%, a bet bounded between $0.50 and $250.00. The game also restates its counting rules — only the highest win is paid on any one pay way, but wins landed across several pay ways are added together, and the free spins win is added to the triggering spin's.
How to playThe controls page, in the game's own terms: plus and minus to open the bet menu and pick a value, the round button to spin, the space bar or enter key to do the same from the keyboard. The chevron button cycles three speeds — normal, quick, turbo — and clicking the CREDIT and BET labels switches the display between coins and cash.
Settings menuThe settings menu: intro screen, ambient sound and sound effects each switch off on their own, and the game history opens from the same list. At the bottom, the bet menu, which shows the bet multiplier available and the total bet in both coins and cash, set through two separate fields, BET and COIN VALUE.
Buying the featureThe purchase confirmation as the game presents it, before any spin is committed.
