5 Lions Megaways 2 Game for Free - Demo & Review

With a final rating of 8.3/10, 5 Lions Megaways 2 sits comfortably among leading Megaways releases. It falls behind in raw payout potential when compared to Red Tiger's Gonzo's Quest Megaways (21,000x) or Blueprint's Ted Megaways (50,000x), yet compensates with consistent bonus dynamics, smoother pacing, and clearer volatility options. It's 262,144 Megaways, exceeding most competitors, such as Big Time Gaming's Bonanza with up to 117,649. Visually and structurally, it feels more modern than Extra Chilli and slightly less volatile than Power of Thor Megaways. While not the highest-paying, it offers a stable and engaging ride.

The first time I launched the game, it was clear the session would be full of energy. The gameplay features an ancient Asian theme, incorporating traditional symbols and immersive background audio that enhance the experience. The cluster payout system adds unpredictability and excitement, as you never know which new symbols will drop in after a win.

While the main objective is to collect scatters and unlock the bonus round, solid wins are also possible during the base game. Despite the high volatility, rewarding outcomes can occur even without triggering the bonus feature.

Based on my experience, most slot games have an average RTP of around 96%. The RTP of 5 Lions Megaways is 96.50%, which is slightly above the average. Yet, some players may think the RTP is incorrect due to the very high volatility. Hitting a big win requires a longer spin period. When I played this game with a moderate budget, I didn’t hesitate to lower the bet value per spin.

You may get certain winnings more often, but their value usually won’t go over the value of the bet, which practically can’t be defined as a win. Yet, when a big win is hit, its value is superb. These insights only suggest that the tactic while playing should be adapted to the volatility and RTP.

Land three or more Yin-Yang scatter symbols to unlock the Free Spins round. You'll be able to choose from eight bonus configurations, each offering a different mix of spins and multipliers:

• 25 FS with 2x, 3x, 5x
• 20 FS with 3x, 5x, 8x
• 15 FS with 5x, 8x, 10x
• 13 FS with 8x, 10x, 15x
• 10 FS with 10x, 15x, 30x
• 7 FS with 15x, 20x, 30x
• 5 FS with 20x, 30x, 40x

Mystery option with a random combination of spins and multipliers

During the feature, Level Up Coins appear on the reels. Every three collected awards three extra spins and removes the lowest multiplier tier. Super Free Spins can also be triggered with golden scatters, starting from a higher level and offering better potential. Players can use Bonus Buy options (100x, 150x, 500x) to access the round instantly.

Wins are paid left to right and formed through cascading symbols across up to 262,144 Megaways. There are no fixed paylines, as symbol positions vary with each spin. The paytable includes five high-paying animal symbols inspired by Chinese mythology and six low-paying royal card icons (9–A). Wilds appear on reels 2–5 and apply multipliers during bonus rounds. The scatter symbol triggers the Free Spins bonus and its Super version when in golden form. Cascading mechanics reset after each win, replacing successful combinations with new symbols and boosting hit frequency.
