Play 5 Lions Megaways

5 Lions Megaways is the latest addition to Pragmatic Play's popular 5 Lions series, bringing the powerful Megaways system into the fold. While this isn't the first time we've seen a release in the 5 Lions lineup, this version introduces a new twist with up to 200,704 ways to win. The Chinese-inspired theme remains at the heart of the game, with symbols like turtles, phoenixes, and dragons creating everything you'd want from a slot, plus the cultural references. 

On the technical side, the game plays on a 6-reel grid where each reel can hold up to 7 symbols, generating an ever-changing number of ways to win. The tumbling reels feature ensures consecutive wins are possible, while wild multipliers boost potential payouts in both the base game and bonus rounds. Bets range from 0.20, and players can activate an Ante Bet feature for an increased chance to potentially trigger free spins. Overall, it keeps the series’ reputation intact. 

If you’re familiar with Pragmatic Play, you know they have a knack for keeping things fresh while sticking to themes that resonate with players. Other titles like 5 Lions Gold and 5 Lions Dance have already proven popular, and 5 Lions Megaways continues to build on that foundation, with enough tweaks to stand out.

In addition to the paytable, 5 Lions Megaways is also equipped with both a wild and a scatter. The Wild (Dragon) substitutes for all symbols except Scatter, helping potentially form winning combinations.  

The Yin-Yang Scatter, on the other hand, is there to trigger the Free Spins bonus. To activate this bonus feature, players need to collect three or more Yin-Yang Scatters. 

Below you’ll find detailed explanations of all the relevant features in 5 Lions Megaways. 

Tumbling Reels 

Every time you land a winning combination, the Tumbling Reels feature kicks in. Winning symbols are removed from the grid, and new ones tumble down from above to replace them. This allows for consecutive wins on just a single spin, with the process continuing until no new winning combinations are formed. 

Wild Multipliers 

If a winning combo includes a wild symbol, it comes with a multiplier that can range from x2 to x40. This applies to both base game wins and free spins. 

Free Spins Feature 

The Free Spins Feature is brought into play by getting 3, 4, 5, or 6 Yin-Yang scatter symbols, awarding a payout and entry into the Free Spins round. Here, players get to choose from a range of free spins and multiplier combinations: 

• 25 free spins with x2, x3, or x5 wild multipliers. 
• 20 free spins with x3, x5, or x8 wild multipliers. 
• 15 free spins with x5, x8, or x10 wild multipliers. 
• 13 free spins with x8, x10, or x15 wild multipliers. 
• 10 free spins with x10, x15, or x30 wild multipliers. 
• 6 free spins with x15, x30, or x40 wild multipliers. 
• Mystery Option: Random number of spins and multiplier values. 

Landing three scatters during the Free Spins round retriggers the feature with the same number of spins as originally chosen. 

Ante Bet Feature 

For those looking to increase their chances of triggering free spins, the Ante Bet feature is available. By increasing the stake by 25%, players double their chances of landing scatter symbols.
