Red Lion

Get ready to explore the mysteries of the Far East, you get to travel to China in a game that features plenty of Oriental symbols along with substantial riches hidden behind them. Don’t worry if you don’t know exactly what the symbols mean in Chinese culture, if you get them to match they will all give you prizes! 

Red Lion is the video slot that will take you on that exotic trip, a game that was created by Felix Gaming, a pretty young company but with a very experienced team. Let’s see what this title is all about! 

Theme

The action takes place in what seems to be a bustling marketplace inside a Chinese town, there are nicely-lit buildings to be seen in the background. The gateway to that marketplace is also the frame that holds the reels together, decorated with golden dragons on the two pillars and a nice Oriental roof. 

The background music might not be the best choice, it does fit the theme but I found it rather annoying after having spent more time playing the game. Nevertheless, the sound effects and animations are exciting enough, adding to the festive atmosphere that can be felt while spinning the reels of this slot. 

Betting Options and Functions

This video slot has a classic layout with 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 20 paylines. Before each spin, you can choose on how many lines you want to bet, while the winning combinations can be formed only starting from the leftmost reel. 

The biggest prize you can get in the base game is just 50 times the stake, but you shouldn’t worry because there are tons of features that can lead you to bigger treasures. The return to player percentage is not among the highest in the industry, though, it sits at just 95. 

Features

The Red Lion symbol is among the most powerful in the game, it is the Wild but it’s also an Expanding Wild, covering the entire reel for increased chances of forming winning combos. Moreover, if you manage to have a whole screen filled with these then you will grab the maximum prize of the game, worth a mouth-watering 20,000 times the bet! 

This slot also has a nice rewards system called Lucky 689, who gives more to those who play the game longer: between the first and 100th spin you get 6% extra on all wins, then between the 101st and 200th spin you get 8% extra, and from the 201st spin to the 300th you will receive 9% extra on all wins. 

Those bonus amounts won’t be paid with each win, they will be accumulated and given to the player once the 100th spin mark is reached. 

The Golden Frog is another important symbol, as it is the only one that can trigger the Pick A Chest feature. This will give you the chance to choose one of five treasure chests, which can hide prizes up to 50 times the stake. 

The Yin-Yang symbol is the Scatter, which can give you between 10 and 50 Free Games. The feature can be retriggered during the free spins round, and you will need just 2 Scatter symbols to get another 5 free rolls. 

Conclusion

Red Lion is a decent video slot from software company Felix Gaming, it doesn’t have the most original theme but somehow it does manage to create an entertaining atmosphere and an exciting gameplay experience. 

Overall, this game is surely worth a try for those who enjoy Asian-themed slots, but even other players should be able to find a few moments of fun while playing it.
