9 Lions RTP and Volatility

The volatility of the game is adjustable and the RTP is set at 96.59%.

Here you do not have to deal with 1 type of volatility, as in its slots Wazdan gives you the opportunity to independently choose the level of risk! Before starting the game, select what kind of volatility you want to play: low, medium, or high. This will affect the frequency of winning combinations and the size of the prizes. As for the RTP, it stands firmly at 96.59%, which is above the industry average.

Theme

Take a trip to East Asia! There you will meet a palace complex on one of the walls of which there are 2 talismans of China: a lion and a dragon. As the embodiment of good power, they are ready to pave your way to riches! But nothing comes for free, so you need to earn their favor before that happens.

9 Lions has a detailed, incredibly beautiful Asian design and we love the soothing melody in the background that adds the final touch to the overall atmosphere. The team of artists from Wazdan did their best, so playing this slot is a pleasure!

All winnings are paid for combinations of the same symbol and each new spin costs 1 bet.  After each draw of all 9 symbols on the playing field, the game automatically locks the best set of symbols, but it can be changed by you. Playing with locked symbols is a new game. At any time, a lion and/or a dragon can land on the reels to give you an exciting bonus feature, so be on the lookout!

Above, we showed how many coins you will receive by making this or that combination playing at the minimum bet. We like the premium symbols because in the mythology of the Chinese 4 sacred creatures were given a big place: dragon, tiger, phoenix, turtle. The dragon was considered a symbol of spring and the east, the phoenix - summer and the south, the tiger - autumn and west, and the turtle - winter and north.

Overall Rating

The 9 Lions won our hearts from the first second of the test session with its well-thought-out Asian-inspired design. The game looks great and we like that players can choose volatility, gameplay pace, and even enable power saving mode! We would like all providers to introduce these features into their games. In terms of gameplay, we like the Lion Bonus with Sticky Lions which can easily bring max win and the good prizes the Dragon Bonus has to offer.
