The 9 Lions slot is packed full of colour and visual intrigue, with its iconic, 3×3 reel grid set against the alluring backdrop of what appears to be a beautiful zen garden. There are nine paylines dotted across the reel grid.
Before you start your game check first the information of this game that appears on the screen. Look and familiarise yourself with its pay tables, features, and game rules to have smooth gaming. After that, you can start your game by setting your bet.
The lowest-paying icons are the playing card symbols. The lion symbol is the highest paying in the game and is beautifully depicted as a golden being. This could almost be a statue if not for the fact that his eyes blink as he gazes out solemnly from the reels.
Other symbols are concerned with the Chinese constellations and are depicted as enamel tokens on which each creature has been carefully rendered. You will encounter the black turtle, the white tiger, the vermilion bird and the azure dragon, all of which represent points of the compass and seasons of the year. They also hold other cultural meanings that would be instantly recognisable to players from across Asia.
The high-paying lion head icon is pivotal to this slot’s gameplay, particularly as it can launch a bonus round where you’re rewarded with nine free spins. To unlock these spins, you simply need to collect nine images of a golden lion and place them on the matrix field that sits beside the reel grid, before matching three lion pictograms simultaneously when this field is full.
Once the free spins start, every new creature that appears on the screen will stick to its position, enabling you to forge new and lucrative winning combinations with every spin. If you have at least four lions in play at the end of the bonus, an additional reward will be paid into your balance!
