Our take

High-volatility Oriental-themed slot with 576 paylines, random multiplier wilds, and 3520x max win across a 5x3 grid.

5 Lions from Pragmatic Play celebrates Asian mysticism through glowing gold symbols and legendary creatures. The 5x3 grid with 576 paylines creates numerous winning combinations on each spin, departing from simple payline-based structures in favour of a more complex system. The theme is exquisitely rendered, with golden accents flowing through symbols and background elements to create a magical sense of prosperity.

The Lion symbol serves as the wild and is central to the game's mechanics—it applies a random multiplier to any win it helps create, varying between modest and substantial boosts. The Dragon is the highest-paying regular symbol at 20x for five of a kind, followed by the Phoenix, Frog, Fish, and Tortoise. Card values (Ace through 9) fill the lower-paying positions. The Yin Yang symbol acts as the scatter, triggering free spins that unlock additional winning potential.

With a 95.51% RTP and high volatility, the game appeals to players comfortable with extended dry spells. The 576 paylines increase complexity compared to traditional 20-line games, meaning even small wins can accumulate across multiple lines. This volatility combined with numerous paylines creates a dynamic experience where the outcome of each spin carries weight.

Pros

  • 576 paylines create numerous winning combinations and frequent line hits

Cons

  • 3520x max win is modest for high-volatility standards
