Red Lion Review

Red Lion slot from Felix Gaming celebrates the chinese new year, and it plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 win ways. The main attraction is the 20,000x expanded wilds jackpot, but you will also benefit from a pick’em bonus game and a free spins round with unlimited extra spins. The volatility is medium in this game, and the RTP of 95.6 % is a bit below average in the west.

The lion symbolizes strength, stability and superiority in chinese culture, but we don’t see this game as vastly superior to other asian-themed slots out there. It’s a fairly standard run-of-the-mill title, with the added excitement of the massive 20,000x jackpot that can be landed once in a blue moon.

The bet range of 1p to £30 per spin is somewhat narrow and limited, and caters more to penny punters than high rollers. The expanding wilds can be somewhat helpful in the base game, and if you’re lucky you can get lengthy free spins sessions via the retriggers. Overall, Red Lion feels like one of those package tours where everything is taken care of, but you never really deviate from the standard tourist destinations.

Red Lion slot Features

The red lion, which looks more like a red genie in the bottle than anything else, is the wild symbol in this game. It will step in for all regular symbols, and it’s also the highest paying symbol. Land 5 on a payline, and you’ll pocket 50x your stake. However, it’s even more lucrative when it lands fully expanded.

You can land the expanded version that covers a full reel both in the base game and during the bonus round. It can land on any of the 5 reels, and if you cover all 5 reels with the expanded red lion wild you’ll win a fixed jackpot of 20,000x your stake. This can occur at any time, including in the bonus round, so the excitement is always there.

Land 3 gold coin frog symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5, and you’ll trigger a classic pick’em bonus game. You get 5 different treasure chests to pick from, and this will land you a cash prize of either 5x, 10x, 20x, 30x or 50x your stake.

The free spins round is triggered when you land at least 3 of the blue Yin Yang scatter.

You get 10, 25 or 50 free spins when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters respectively, and you can also retrigger the bonus round indefinitely the same way. In addition, you get 5 extra spins by landing only 2 scatters at the same time during the feature.

The 200 Spins Red Lion slot Experience

Smaller wins are not all that hard to come by here, and we certainly had our fair share in the base game. We trigger the pick’em bonus game around 1 minute into the highlights video, and you can see how much we got away with by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Red Lion comes with a rather complete kit of features, and the gameplay is somewhat easy-going here. The medium volatility offers decent wins on a regular basis, and staying afloat is not too hard. Of course, the regular potential is only 1,000x per spin, but a full screen of expanded red lion wilds lands you the main prize of 20,000x your stake.

This fixed jackpot makes the game more attractive, but it’s surely very hard to land. The pick’em bonus gives you a break from the base game grind, while the free spins round is pretty much the same as the base game. The good news is that retriggering the feature is not all that hard here, so when luck is on your side it can go on for a while.

Pros

• 20,000x jackpot for 5 expanded wilds
• Pick’em bonus game for wins up to 50x
• Free spins with unlimited retriggers
• Medium volatility

Cons

• RTP of 95.6 % and £30 max bet
