That's all. Enjoy your session and win!

Lucky Lion RTP and Volatility

7.4 

The RTP  of the slot is only 92.09% and the volatility is high.

The rules and bonus features of Lucky Lion are mega simple but immature newbies are unlikely to feel comfortable here because of the high volatility. This means that winning combinations are not the most frequent phenomenon here, but when this happens, the player receives a large payout. As for the RTP, it is 92.09%, which makes the mathematical model completely unfriendly.

Theme

8.1 

A large place in the JDB portfolio is occupied by games dedicated to Chinese folklore, and if you are not that big on this theme, then let us explain that the red creature that appears on the reels is a lion. In accordance with the beliefs of Ancient China, this beast is a mythical protector of the law and guardian of sacred structures. Also on the playing field, you can find Chinese paper lanterns, gold circles with square holes in the center - coins that can be safely added to the list of inventions of Chinese civilization, as well as bamboo and drums. Of course, there are also playing card suits as cheap symbols. We are only talking about symbols because apart from them there is nothing interesting and the background is just black.

Here you need to make winning combinations from matching symbols on 25 paylines, sometimes using special symbols, to get the max win. All wins are generated from left to right, except for special Bonus symbol (Gold Coins) wins.

During the session, pay special attention to the gold coin as it is a Bonus symbol that can activate the free spins feature and also on the purple pearl as it lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 as an Expanding Wild and replaces all standard symbols so that you can get more winning combinations. This is a very useful thing and you will need it to get the max win.

Just remember that you will need a good internet connection and a flash player for this.

Lucky Lion Demo play

Not ready to place real stakes? Then use the demo mode of this slot machine on this page. Just hit the "Play Demo" button on this page! In this mode, you can familiarize yourself with bonus features/rules, spin the reels and just have fun making bets with virtual coins. Naturally, it is impossible to win real cash prizes in this mode.

Max Win

8.1 

1,200x is the maximum you can get here.

When loading the game, the inscription "win up to 1,200x" appears. You will not be able to get this win in the base game, so you need to get serious about collecting Bonus symbols. If you are lucky enough to fill the 3 middle reels with Expanding Wilds in the free spins feature and at the same time get premium symbols this win will be yours. Good luck!

Overall Rating

8.1

Lucky Lion was able to surprise us only from the point of view of a mathematical model and, unfortunately, in a bad way. High volatility with 92.09% RTP that offers to win up to 1,200x is far from the best we've seen on the market. The design is also not the best and only well-detailed Asian-themed symbols save it. But you won't start playing the slot just because of the good-looking symbols, right? So are we, so those who want to try their luck at a good Chinese-style game are advised to try other Just Do Best games like Lucky Qilin or Moonlight Treasure.
