Lion’s Pride (Mascot Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Expert Review: Lion's Pride – Verdict & Opinion

As someone who grinds high variance slots, Lion's Pride hits the right note. Released in 2019, it runs a 5x3 grid with 40 betways and a 97% RTP, which sits above average. The maths feels balanced for a high risk title: long spells of lean spins, then bursts when stacks line up or the bonus lands. Base game holds interest, yet when wilds or scatters roll in, the screen can light up fast. I liked the mix of conventional flow and modern extras.

I’ve played Lion's Pride on desktop and mobile, and it stays smooth across devices. The theme is straight to the point, with stacked symbols doing most of the heavy lifting. There’s no fuss in the UI, so I could set stakes and spin without digging through menus. Compared with many 40-line titles, hit rate feels tight but fair for the volatility band. When the features show up, the pace changes sharply, which suits my short session style.

Lion's Pride Game Details

Here’s the nuts and bolts. Lion's Pride uses 5 reels, 40 fixed lines, stakes from 0.40 to 20 per spin, and a listed 97% return. Volatility is High, so bankroll swings can be hefty. I treat it as a session slot rather than a marathon grind. The provider hasn’t posted a total max win, but line pays and stacked hits can push strong totals in bonus and base. If you chase infrequent but meaningful pops, this spec fits the bill.

Ways to Win on Lion's Pride - Paytable & Paylines

Forty lines pay left to right. The top symbol reaches up to 25x for five-of-a-kind based on the in-game table, with further premium icons around 12.5x and 10x tiers. Mid symbols sit near 7.5x and 5x, and the lower set lands from 2.5x down to 2x, 4x or 1x brackets depending on the icon. It’s a clean spread that rewards stacked connections rather than single-line isolates, so I look for reels filling with the same picture.

Wilds substitute and multipliers are in play, which helps when stacks meet across several reels. The paytable also lists early hits for two-of-a-kind on some premiums, which softens dry runs a touch when reels sync. In my sessions, clustered stacks drove most decent returns, as single five-lines were less common than multi-line splashes. With 40 fixed lines, coverage is wide, so even three-reel connections can nudge the meter when symbols arrive in blocks.

Scatters act as the ticket to the feature. Three scatters trigger the bonus round and a scatter payout appears as listed at x4 for 3. I’ve seen the scatter pace vary, yet when it arrives alongside stacks, the setup can swing. Max win per line is listed as 20x in some sheets, while the in-game table caps certain icons at 25x; the common thread is that stacked reels do the heavy lifting, so line count multiplies outcomes.

Lion's Pride Slot Features

The slot leans on three headline mechanics. Stacked Symbols: reel of identical symbols increases quantity of winning combinations for one spin. Massive pay feature: all reels of identical symbols double big winning. Free Spins feature with Extra Wilds stacks: free bonus games with stacked Wild Symbols that increase every free spin. This trio defines how the game spikes, and it feels consistent with the maths, as you’re waiting for reels to sync and then expand in the round.

In practice, the base can throw stacked waves that carry decent totals without the feature. The free games turn the dial when extra wild stacks ramp up, giving repeated shots at multi-line connections. I didn’t see a gamble or second-screen bonus in the version I played, and that keeps the flow tight. When the reels copy across and the wild stacks grow, the pace jumps, which is what I want from a high volatility, 40-line setup.
