5 Lions Reborn Slot Review

The 5 Lions Reborn Slot Game

5 Lions Reborn drops me straight back into Pragmatic Play’s Asian series, with the familiar blue and purple waves and a gold-framed 5x3 grid. The look ties in neatly with the earlier 5 Lions releases, only this one feels a touch sharper and brighter on my screen. Under the surface, it is all about classic ways mechanics, with 243 ways paying left to right whenever three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels.

Bet levels in 5 Lions Reborn start at 0.30 and go all the way up to 240 per spin, which covers casual play and heavier sessions, though the lack of tidy round stakes can irritate me. The default RTP sits at 96.5%, with some lower settings around, and the volatility is high, so sessions swing hard. On paper the game can pay up to 5,000x stake, but the top hit is very rare.

Symbols and Payouts in 5 Lions Reborn

In the symbols and payouts department, 5 Lions Reborn keeps to the template I expected. Low pays are the 9 to A card royals, while the premiums are Chinese style creatures such as the turtle, koi fish, frog, phoenix, and dragon. With 243 ways, any line of three to five matching icons on adjacent reels from the left counts, and top symbol five-of-a-kind wins reach around 26.6x the bet.

The card ranks pay between about 1.33x and 5.33x stake for five-of-a-kind, so they mostly pad the balance. The beasts do the heavy lifting, with full screens of dragons and phoenixes capable of swinging a bonus. Wilds are golden lion heads, landing on reels two, three, and four only. They have no standalone value, yet they substitute for all regular symbols and become central once the free spins multipliers kick in.

Alongside the standard icons, 5 Lions Reborn packs three scatter types. Regular scatters, golden scatters, and super scatters all pay 5x, 15x, or 50x stake for three, four, or five in view, which is handy before the bonus even starts. On top of that, a single golden scatter can randomly start the normal free spins, while a single super scatter can fire off the super free spins feature instead.

5 Lions Reborn Slot Bonus Features

In 5 Lions Reborn the base game is plain, so the slot only wakes up when the bonus hits. Three or more scatters of any type in a way combination trigger free spins, with the cash prize on top, and if several features trigger together they play out one after another. Before the round begins, I pick from seven options, trading off longer sessions with 20 spins and x2 wilds against short, punchy sets with 6 spins and x15.

The clever part is the wild multiplier. It starts at the value I picked and sits above the reels. Any win that includes at least one wild gets multiplied, then the meter jumps up by the original step, so an x10 start climbs x20, x30, and so on. Each upgrade can randomly hand out one to three extra spins. In super free spins, you always get 20 spins with an x15 start, the same setup you buy for 500x stake.

How to Win at 5 Lions Reborn Slot

When I sit down with 5 Lions Reborn, I start by picking a stake between 0.30 and 240, then hitting spin or setting up autoplay if I want a long grind. Wins land whenever three or more matching symbols show on adjacent reels, starting from the left. There are quick spin and turbo modes to speed things up. The real decision comes in the bonus, where my choice of spins and starting multiplier shapes the whole session.

5 Lions Reborn Slot RTP & Volatility

From a numbers angle, 5 Lions Reborn runs on a default 96.5% RTP, although some casinos use trimmed-down versions around 95.5% or 94.5%. Variance is firmly high, backed up by a hit frequency a touch over thirty per cent, so dead patches are common. The free spins come in roughly once every 107 spins on average, which is actually more generous than many high variance slots I’ve played from the same provider.

Top potential in 5 Lions Reborn is 5,000x the bet, capped and calculated at odds of about one in 3,952,569 spins, so I treat it as a long-shot rather than a target. The game can chew through a bankroll between features, especially if I chase the higher multipliers. Buying bonuses for 80x or 500x stake speeds things up where the option is active, though that route is usually blocked for me on regulated UK sites.

The Concluding Thoughts on 5 Lions Reborn

For me, 5 Lions Reborn feels like a polished retread rather than a fresh chapter, but the tweaks do work. The rising wild multiplier and the rare but powerful super free spins breathe some life into a very familiar Asian package. I like that I can steer the volatility with my free spins pick, even if the theme sits firmly in cliché territory. If you enjoy swingy sessions and simple rules, this one is worth a look.
