Pragmatic Play publishes one return figure for this game and almost nothing else. There is no volatility word on the page, no maximum win, and no count of ways or lines for ordinary play: the only count the studio gives is 576, which is what the grid pays inside the bonus round after an extra row joins it. Other sites print a base figure for this title and the studio does not. The reel and row counts are empty by decision rather than for want of looking, because this studio writes this family's layouts in both orders, calling this one a five by three and its own sequel a three by five. The studio also does not say whether the build behind its one return figure is the build a casino gets as standard. We have not scored this game.
5 Lions is a slot from Pragmatic Play shipping in 1 published return configuration. Every figure on the page is dated and links to where the studio published it. No operator on our records has told us which build they run, so the served figure on this page is empty rather than guessed.
Every figure here shows where it came from and when we checked it.

Studios publish this as a word rather than a number, so that is how we show it.
The scale shows other games, not this one. We do not place a marker for a game whose studio has not stated a volatility, because that would be our guess presented as theirs.

What each one does, and what it means for your session.
A triggered round of spins that costs nothing and usually changes the maths.
What it means for you: Where most of the return lives in modern slots. How long it takes to reach is the feature frequency.
Three to five scatters open the bonus, and the player then chooses between combinations reaching up to twenty five free spins and a wild multiplier as high as forty. Two players in the same round can be playing different maths, and the studio publishes no return figure for any one option.
A wild that carries a multiplier of its own and applies it to any win it completes. Where several land in the same win their multipliers are multiplied together rather than added.
What it means for you: Compounds rather than accumulates, which is how an ordinary-looking win becomes a four-figure multiple of the stake.
Every win containing the golden lion wild is multiplied by a value drawn at random, and the studio states the top of that range as forty times. It publishes no distribution for the draw, so the forty is a ceiling and nothing on the studio's page says how often the low values come up instead.
The grid gains rows or reels when a feature starts and keeps them until it ends, so the number of ways to win inside the feature is larger than in the base game. This is not the same as a grid that resizes on every spin and never keeps its size.
What it means for you: Moves value into the feature and out of ordinary play, which raises volatility and makes the round the game is really about.
An extra row of three symbols joins the top of the grid when the bonus starts and stays for the round. The studio says this more than doubles the winning lines, to 576, which is the only count of any kind it publishes for this game.

Whether a game is carried in a given country is something we confirm at the casino, not something a studio states. We have not done that for this title. It does not mean the game is unavailable.

Built from what you answered and what the studio published. Nothing else.
We hold nothing about you, so nothing here is about you.
Scored on published figures first and on the generated description last, with every term's weight printed.
Scored on five things: what it plays on (0.40), what it is about (0.20), how alike the generated descriptions read (0.20), the published volatility label (0.12) and the studio (0.08). 94 titles were considered; 2 were removed for being a different kind of game.
Plays on the same multiplier wild and free spins, same studio, the same published low build (96.50%).
Neither studio publishes a volatility label, so we have not checked this.

Two buttons and a count. No score out of ten, because two options cannot carry one.
One vote per browser, and a browser that clears its storage can vote again. We could stop that only by keeping something that identifies you, and a vote count is not worth that.
The five things we weigh, and how much each one counts.
rubric_version 1.0
These are the five things we score a game on, and how much each one counts. The bars are hatched because we have not measured them yet, not because the game scored zero. A game with something missing gets no score at all rather than a low one.
The weights above are the whole method. We have not published a longer explanation of them yet.
We do not hold a testing certificate for this game, so we cannot tell you it has been independently tested, and we will not tell you it has not. What we can show you is what Pragmatic Play publishes and what it leaves out. That is the whole of the page above.
Pragmatic Play publishes one figure, 96.50%, as a long-run average. That is the studio's number, not a reading from any casino. We have not yet checked what one actually serves.
Pragmatic Play publishes one return figure for this game and almost nothing else. There is no volatility word on the page, no maximum win, and no count of ways or lines for ordinary play: the only count the studio gives is 576, which is what the grid pays inside the bonus round after an extra row joins it. Other sites print a base figure for this title and the studio does not. The reel and row counts are empty by decision rather than for want of looking, because this studio writes this family's layouts in both orders, calling this one a five by three and its own sequel a three by five.

We have not confirmed a casino for this game yet, so this page does not send you to one. A list we have not checked would be an advert, not a recommendation.

This page publishes machine-readable data built from the figures above. It carries no star rating, because we have not scored this game, and no single return figure, because this game does not have one.
We have not yet read a lobby that lists Pragmatic Play, so we are not claiming one carries 5 Lions. These are the top casinos on our record by what we have read; check the games block on the review before you deposit for this title.
