5 Lions Reborn Slot Review

Here's a question: Why do lions appear everywhere in Chinese art, mythology, and architecture when they've never actually lived in China🦁?

Seriously, these guys aren't native to the country—they're not out there prowling through bamboo forests or hanging out by the Yangtze River. The closest a lion ever got to China was probably kidnapped and taken there😂.

And yet, they've been adopted as cultural icons, guarding sacred spaces like furry bouncers. It's kind of like picking your favorite animal based entirely on vibes. Sure, pandas are adorable, but lions? Lions are majestic, terrifying, and way cooler than those derpy bears🐼.

And now, in 5 Lions Reborn slot from Pragmatic Play, the Chinese are back again, claiming lions like Africa won't notice.

Gameplay

5 Lions Reborn slot is a Chinese-themed game with an abstract blue ocean and sky in the background, which is weird since I don't think lions are big fans of the sea. You play on 5 reels and 3 rows with 243 ways.

Dragons, phoenixes, frogs, fish, and tortoises are high-paying symbols. The Wild is the titular lion, and it substitutes for any of the pay symbols except the Scatters and appears on reels 2, 3, and 4.

There are 3 Scatters, a regular Scatter, a black and white yin yang symbol; a Gold Scatter, a gold and white yin yang symbol; and a Super Scatter, a gold and white yin yang with a gold box around it. More on these in the Free Spins section below.

The only currency you can't play with here is the yen. You can bet between $0.30 and $69 (lol, 69). A 5,000x max multiplier can return $345,000 if you wager the highest bet in the range. This is a very high volatility game with an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.

Features

FREE SPINS

Hitting 3 or more Scatters of any type on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reels will award Free Spins. Every time a Gold Scatter lands in the base game, there is a chance that Free Spins will trigger.

Every time a Super Scatter lands, there is a chance that Super Free Spins will be triggered. If more than 1 Free Spin is triggered on the same spin, the Super Free Spins will be played instead of regular Free Spins.

Before Free Spins starts, you're given several options.

  • 6 Free Spins with a 15x Wild Multiplier.
  • 8 Free Spins with a 10x Wild Multiplier.
  • 10 Free Spins with an 8x Wild Multiplier.
  • 13 Free Spins with a 5x Wild Multiplier.
  • 15 Free Spins with a 3x Wild Multiplier.
  • 20 Free Spins with a 2x Wild Multiplier.

Mystery number of Free Spins starting with a mystery Wild Multiplier.

If Super Free Spins are triggered, you have no choice; you're awarded 20 Free Spins with a 15x Wild Multiplier.

Free Spins start with the number of Free Spins you chose or were awarded and the starting Wild Multiplier.

Whenever at least 1 Wild participates in a win, its value is applied to that win. Then, the Multiplier increases by its initial value and randomly awards 1 to 5 additional Free Spins.

BUY BONUS

You can skip the base game and trigger regular Free Spins for 80x your bet or Super Free Spins for 200x your bet.

Performance

I played this game on my gaming laptop and Android phone and didn't encounter any glitches or issues.

Maximum Win

The most you can win here is $345,000 if you can hit the game's top multiplier of 5,000x while playing with the highest bet in the range, which goes from $0.30 to $69.

Conclusion

The base game in the 5 Lions Reborn slot is whatever—nothing special. Then, the game makes you choose between the number of Free Spins at the cost of the starting multiplier value of the Wild. I hate it. I don't want to sacrifice potentially improved way wins for more Free Spins.

I'm fine with a set number of Free Spins and Wild Multiplier. The game functions fine on phones and laptops, so you can play it however you want and prefer.

Fish Fever slot offers 10 Free Spins with Multiplier symbols that apply to the total win for a spin they land on. It's way less complicated and, frankly, more fun. It has lower volatility and can turn a $20 bet into a $300,000 win.

This isn't terrible, but I know which game I would choose.
