What the 1xBet game profile covers
The slot is listed under catalog game ID 175153. Its theme is African wildlife. Lions, zebras, and giraffes fill the reels, and the Lion symbol carries the main payout structure through a chain mechanism.
How a Lion Way forms and pays
A Lion Way is formed when at least two Lion symbols land on consecutive reels, starting from the first. Only the chain that begins on reel one counts. Each Lion symbol that is part of a Lion Way pays out the value shown on it.
Three types of Lion symbols appear. The First Lion lands only on the first reel and holds no value, but it starts a winning chain. The Money Lion appears only on reels 2 to 5. It carries a money value from 0.5x to 15x your bet, or a MINI, MEGA, SUPER, or GRAND jackpot label.
| Symbol | Position | Role |
|---|---|---|
| First Lion | Reel 1 only | Starts a Lion Way chain; no value of its own |
| Money Lion | Reels 2 to 5 | Shows 0.5x to 15x bet, or a jackpot label |
| Golden Lion | Reels 2 to 5 | Triggers the Special Bonus Game |
The Golden Lion and the Special Bonus Game
The Golden Lion appears without a value but triggers the Special Bonus Game when part of a Lion Way. The value is determined during that Bonus Game. It plays out on a separate 3x3 field with 3 spins. Only Money Lion symbols can land and remain locked in place.
At the end of the game, all values are summed. That total becomes the value of the triggering Golden Lion. Filling all 9 positions awards the SUPER jackpot.
Free Spins and the wild symbol
Three or more Scatter symbols landing anywhere on the reels trigger Free Spins. The number of free spins depends on how many Scatters appear. Two or more Scatters landing anywhere on the reels award 5 Extra Free Spins. During Free Spins, more Money Lion and Golden Lion symbols can land on reels 2 to 5.
| Scatters | Award |
|---|---|
| 5 Scatters | 20 Free Spins |
| 4 Scatters | 15 Free Spins |
| 3 Scatters | 10 Free Spins |
| 2+ Scatters | 5 Extra Free Spins |
The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols in winning combinations, except Scatter and Lion symbols. Wilds appear only on reels 2 to 4 in both the main game and Free Spins.
Random event and bonus purchase
If a First Lion symbol appears in a non-winning round, it may trigger a random event. That event places 2 to 6 Lion symbols in random positions on reels 2 to 5. You can also purchase direct access to 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins from the main game.
