Pragmatic Play publishes one return figure for this game and nothing under it. There is no volatility word on either page we read, no maximum win, and no odds for any of the three jackpot prizes the game is sold on, which is unusual on a title whose headline feature is a prize outside the paytable. The studio's own two pages also disagree about its random award: one says it fires on any base game spin and hands out a tiles bonus game, the other says it fires inside the feature and hands out a jackpot bonus game. We record the disagreement rather than pick a side. The studio does not say whether the build behind that one return figure is the build a casino gets as standard, or whether other builds exist, so the number a reader is served may not be the number quoted here or anywhere else. The reel and row counts are empty by decision rather than for want of looking: the studio writes a three by five layout and 243 ways in one sentence, those agree only under a reading we would be doing the arithmetic for, and this studio writes the same layout in both orders on its own titles. We have not scored this game.
5 Lions Gold 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 scatters open the round and the player then picks one of seven options, trading spin count against multiplier size: the studio states the ends of that trade as up to twenty five free spins and a wild multiplier as high as forty. Two players who trigger the same round can therefore be playing different maths, and the studio publishes no return figure for any single option.
Adjacent symbols pay left to right regardless of position on the reel, giving a fixed number of ways rather than lines.
What it means for you: More frequent small wins than a comparable payline game.
Symbols pay on adjacent reels rather than along lines, which is where the 243 comes from.
A round that leaves the reels entirely: pick objects, advance a trail, or spin a wheel.
What it means for you: Delivers a bounded payout with low variance relative to a free-spin round of the same expected value.
The studio's two pages describe the Caishen Random Award differently and we are not choosing between them. The launch announcement says every base game spin can trigger it and that it grants either the free spins mode or a scripted tiles bonus game. The game page says it offers free spins or a jackpot bonus game at random during the feature. When it can fire and what it can award are both in dispute between two pages the same studio publishes, and neither states a frequency.
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.
Wilds arrive with a multiplier of one to forty times attached, on every spin rather than in the feature alone. The lion is the wild, and the studio says it appears at random on reels two, three and four.
A top prize worth a fixed multiple of the stake, awarded by a defined combination rather than by a pool that grows. It is a paytable entry with a name on it, and it is stored here as a multiplier because a cash figure describes one operator's stake range and nothing else.
What it means for you: Nothing changes in the maths beyond what the paytable already says. The label is marketing, and a prize called a jackpot is not evidence that the game pays more often or more.
Three prizes sit in the Golden Reels Jackpot feature and the studio states their ceiling as two thousand times the stake. Reels turn gold at random during free spins, and three, four or five golden reels award the minor, the major or the grand. The studio states no odds for any of the three, so how often a golden reel arrives is not published.

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.

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 nothing under it. There is no volatility word on either page we read, no maximum win, and no odds for any of the three jackpot prizes the game is sold on, which is unusual on a title whose headline feature is a prize outside the paytable. The studio's own two pages also disagree about its random award: one says it fires on any base game spin and hands out a tiles bonus game, the other says it fires inside the feature and hands out a jackpot bonus game. We record the disagreement rather than pick a side. The studio does not say whether the build behind that one return figure is the build a casino gets as standard, or whether other builds exist, so the number a reader is served may not be the number quoted here or anywhere else. The reel and row counts are empty by decision rather than for want of looking: the studio writes a three by five layout and 243 ways in one sentence, those agree only under a reading we would be doing the arithmetic for, and this studio writes the same layout in both orders on its own titles.

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.

Listed rather than hidden, so you can see the shape of what is missing.
We add a game once its studio has confirmed we may put it on the page.
We have not confirmed a casino carrying this game, so we are not sending you to one.
Nobody has reviewed this game yet, and we would rather say so than generate a list from the numbers above.
We hold no testing certificate for this game. That is not the same as saying it was never tested.
Symbol payouts are on the game's own info screen, which means opening the game to read them.
We publish these only once at least 10,000 spins are behind them.
A win goes here only with a date, a stake and a replay to back it up.
Once you have told us what you like, this will say what it matched on.
The studio does not publish a minimum or maximum stake for this game.
Not re-verified since these figures was written. This site does not stamp a page with the date it was built.
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 Gold. 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.
