Pragmatic Play publishes one return figure for this game and also sells entry to its free game for a hundred times the stake. It publishes no return figure for bought play, so the single number here cannot be describing both, and which of the two it describes is not stated. The studio adds that the purchase is offered in certain jurisdictions rather than all of them, which means the game a reader is served may not be the game described on the studio's page. Neither page we read states a maximum win. The volatility word above is exactly that: the studio calls this a highly volatile slot in one sentence of its launch announcement, and it publishes no volatility score and no scale to place that word on. The reel and row counts are empty by decision rather than for want of looking: the studio describes a seven by six layout and states 117,649 ways in the same sentence, and those two agree only if there are six reels showing up to seven symbols each, which is arithmetic we did and not a count anybody published. We have not scored this game.
5 Lions Megaways 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.

What each one does, and what it means for your session.
Winning symbols are removed and new symbols drop into the gaps, so a single spin can pay several times before it ends.
What it means for you: Raises the ceiling of any one spin and lengthens it. Sessions feel streakier than the hit frequency alone suggests.
Winning symbols are removed after a win and new ones drop in, so one paid spin can settle more than once.
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 Yin and Yang scatters open the free game, and the round is unusual in that the player chooses it: seven options trade spin count against multiplier size, so two players triggering the same round can be playing different maths.
The free-spins round can be bought outright for a fixed multiple of the base bet, skipping the wait.
What it means for you: Compresses a long session into one purchase, and usually at a different RTP from the base game.
The free game can be bought for a hundred times the stake before a spin, and the studio's own announcement says this is offered in certain jurisdictions rather than everywhere. Pragmatic Play publishes no return figure for bought play on this title, so what buying does to the number above is not stated by anybody we can cite.
Landing the trigger again during the feature adds more spins, sometimes without a limit. Whether a game retriggers is often the difference between a feature that pays and one that does not.
What it means for you: Widens the range of feature outcomes sharply. Most rounds end at the minimum and a few run very long.
Landing three or more scatters inside the free game extends it by further rounds.
Each reel shows a different number of symbols on every spin, so the number of ways to win changes spin to spin rather than staying fixed. It is a licensed mechanic from Big Time Gaming, which is why studios with nothing else in common all ship games carrying the name.
What it means for you: The headline ways figure is a ceiling that is reached rarely, not the state you play in. How much game you are shown swings from one spin to the next.
Each reel shows a different number of symbols on every spin, so the ways count moves with it and the 117,649 the studio quotes is the ceiling. The mechanic is licensed from Big Time Gaming, so the name credits the licence and not the studio that built this game.
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 carry multipliers of one to forty times in the base game, and the free game options raise the wild multiplier as high as forty as well. The wild symbol is the Gold Lion and it substitutes for everything except the Yin and Yang scatter.

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%).
5 Lions Megaways carries a published volatility label and 5 Lions does not, so the two cannot be compared on it.

Two titles on this site are licensed to use the word Megaways. Seventeen more use a similar ways-payout structure and are not. Big Time Gaming explains the difference on its own site, and the seventeen are not hiding it.
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 also sells entry to its free game for a hundred times the stake. It publishes no return figure for bought play, so the single number here cannot be describing both, and which of the two it describes is not stated. The studio adds that the purchase is offered in certain jurisdictions rather than all of them, which means the game a reader is served may not be the game described on the studio's page. Neither page we read states a maximum win. The volatility word above is exactly that: the studio calls this a highly volatile slot in one sentence of its launch announcement, and it publishes no volatility score and no scale to place that word on. The reel and row counts are empty by decision rather than for want of looking: the studio describes a seven by six layout and states 117,649 ways in the same sentence, and those two agree only if there are six reels showing up to seven symbols each, which is arithmetic we did and not a count anybody published. We have not scored this game.
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 Megaways. 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.
