Lion Strike Review

Rabcat is known for innovative and unusual releases, like Castle Builder 2 and Nikola Tesla’s Incredible Machine, but they will sometimes release more mainstream oriented slots as well. Lion Strike is a good example of that, and it comes with a stunning Safari presentation.

The savannah is bathing in the African sunset, and the bonus round plays out at night. The base game comes with the occasional lion stack respins feature, while both levels of the bonus round expand the grid in different ways. The features come with wilds or multiplier wilds, and you can win up to a solid 14,580x your stake. There is hardly anything revolutionary to see here, but it’s an above average shelf-filler.

Lion Strike Slot Features

The premium animal symbols pay between 2 and 7.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and 4 to 20 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins (the latter is relevant for the super bonus round only). Different kinds of wild symbols appear in the bonus rounds only, and their core function is to substitute for pay symbols to help complete wins.

The lion is the top-tier pay symbol, and landing 3 lion symbols stacked on the first reel triggers the Lion Spin feature. This gives you a respin of the remaining reels as the lion stack on reel 1 becomes sticky.

Your chances of landing more lions to create, or improve, the win is higher than on regular base game spins.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3, 4, or 5 scatters in view, and this gives you 6, 9, or 12 free spins, respectively. You get regular wild symbols in the bonus round, and they step in for pay symbols as wilds usually do. Also, an extra row is piled onto the grid, giving you 3,125 ways to win.

You can upgrade the regular bonus round to the Super version by landing 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatters on the same free spin, and this gives you 3, 6, 9, or 12 Super Free Spins, respectively. You get an extra reel bolted on for this tier of the bonus round, giving you 15,625 ways to win. In addition, you get multiplier wilds that duplicate all wins they are involved in.

You get to see a larger payout in the base game, as we landed plenty of elephant symbols, and then the bonus round triggers at 0:45 into the 2-minute highlights video.

Review Summary

Rabcat is known for taking their sweet time, and releasing well thought out slots that stick out from the herd. Lion Strike is surprisingly ordinary in that regard, but the excellent audiovisual presentation does lift the experience up above mediocrity. The lion has a powerful roar when it lands you a win, and the attention to detail makes this a somewhat enjoyable African safari release.

It’s hardly anything too special, however, but the sticky lion stack respin can help you out in the base game on occasions. Getting an extra row and wilds in the bonus round is hardly the peak of innovation. However, adding an extra reel while upgrading the wilds to multiplier wilds, like you get in the Super tier, does add a bit of extra tension. The 14,580x potential is decent as well, but overall this was not a highly memorable experience.

Pros

• Sticky reel 1 lion stack respin feature
• FS w/ wilds and an extra row (3,125 ways)
• Super FS w/ multiplier wilds and an extra reel (15,625 ways)
• Win up to 14,580x your stake

Cons
