Royal Lion Slot Review

Imagine how it would be if you were king of the jungle…now, imagine how it would be if you were actually a royal king of the jungle. That’s exactly the experience you’ll get when playing the High 5 Games video slot called Royal Lion. Accessing the game will transport you to a world where lions rule the entire kingdom on their royal thrones, and they have somehow managed to amass a vast amount of wealth, with jewels and precious rocks making up the vast majority of it. Many have tried and failed to get their hands on the treasures of this kingdom, braving the ferocious lions of the land. It’s now up to you to try your own hand at doing so. You’ll just need to be very wary of the monarchy of big cats. They may look like they’re regal and majestic, but step one foot wrong and they’ll have their teeth around your throat in an instant. Don’t worry though, because the developer has thrown in some special features to help you on your quest to retrieve the fortunes, and if you’re able to do it successfully, you’ll be a rich man!

The Royal Family

Not many people can say that they’ve seen a royal family made up of lions, but when you play this game, you will. When you load it all up, you’ll find that it’s presented on a layout of five reels and four rows, so it’s very slightly larger than the average video slot game. It’s upon this display that you’ll be able to find the various different symbols, starting with the often seen A, K and Q icons. These are joined by three different gemstones – a sapphire, an emerald and a topaz – all of which are on your radar of jewels to take back home with you. There’s also an icon of the king’s crown and the queen’s tiara, while these two royal family members make up the last two standard symbols. Each of these higher paying icons can also appear as a double icon.

High 5 Games have also added a total of 178 different pay lines to the game alongside its reels, rows and icons. However, this is something that you’re able to adjust to suit your own preferences, starting from its minimum of five bet lines and increasing upwards. Players can also switch around the value of the bet that is placed per spin as well, and this is done by using the up and down arrows next to the ‘Multiplier’ box. If you’re playing with all 178 lines active, the minimum wager stands at $0.35 per round. However, you can increase the multiplier up to times 1,000, and therefore, the maximum overall wager of $350 is able to be played per spin.

Be Careful As You Go

It’s common sense to be as quiet as possible when a lion is in the vicinity, so you’ll need to play it extra cautious when seeking out the gemstones you want. However, if you do find yourself in a bit of a pickle, there are some special features included in the game to help you out. These start with its wild icon, which is represented by the game’s own logo. As a wild, it will stand in for any of the other icons, with the exception of the ‘Free Games’ symbol. Five of the wilds on a winning pay line will see that you receive a maximum pay out of 10,000 coins.

Furthermore, there’s a freespins round, which is triggered by the previously mentioned ‘Free Games’ symbol. You’ll need to spin three in to any position on the reels in order to receive a total of six freespins of the reels, and as a scatter icon, this can only show up on reels two, three and four. Different reels will be used to play the freespins round on, and these cannot be initiated again during the round.

Hear Them Roar

This game might not have an over-abundance of special features included in it, but everything really merges well together to form a highly entertaining product on the whole. The graphics are of the best quality as usual, and game play is fun and exciting.
