5 Lions Dance

In Chinese culture the lion - or the 'fu dog' - is a lucky creature symbolising prosperity, strength and good fortune. 5 Lions Dance is a bright and lively online slot which celebrates the lion and all the luck it could bring you. Designed by the Pragmatic Play studio, this is the ideal slot to enjoy during Chinese New Year - or all year round! A fun twist on the popular Asian slots theme, 5 Lions Dance invites you to join the festival, meet the brightly decorated characters on parade, and perhaps even land yourself a big win.

How to play 5 Lions Dance

A traditional Chinese town sits behind the reels, with glowing paper lanterns swining from ornate wooden roof beams. From this vantage point up in the sunset sky, you'll get the best view of the parade about to start on the reels! The reel set itself is a large golden block with deep red parchment, and it measures five columns by four rows. Instead of lines you get betways here, and there are 1024 of them running from left to right. Match three or more symbols to make a win.

The symbols here include 10-J-Q-K-A, and the five lions - green, yellow, red, white and gold. The orb symbol is wild, so it will fill in for any of the standard symbols and complete a win. There are two bonus symbols as well. Gong scatters appear on reels one, two and three, and Lion Reel symbols appear on reels three, four and five.

Lion Reel Bonus

Land three Lion Reel scatters and the first two reels will transform to reveal a bonus wheel, packed with instant win multipliers. Spin the wheel to reveal a cash prize of between 5x and 200x your stake!

Free Spins

The other scatter symbol awards ten free spins when you land three of them. You'll also get a 1x payout. During free spins, extra scatters can add ten more spins to the total! Every spin will land and pay any winning lines, before tranforming all lion symbols into one of the same colour. The reels then pay again, based on the new set of matching lion wins! This feature only kicks in when enough lions are present on the reels to make a win. Lion Reel is unavailable during the free spins round.
