Online Casino

These days, there is a great number of slots inspired by Disney’s adorable and cute cartoons and movies. Unfortunately, many of those don’t live up to their inspiration, due to their poor graphics, poor payout percentage, and a variety of other reasons. Yet, there are also many good slots among them which still attract a lot of Disney fans every day. Realtime Gaming’s “Lion Lair” is somewhat closer to the second type.

There’s no questioning when it comes to RTG’s graphics: it’s one of the best in the market. However, some solutions could have been better – the background looks a bit too green and pastoral for lion’s natural habitat, and the wild symbol drawing looks a bit amateurish and unfinished. Other characters seem just fine, but those two details spoil the overall picture a little.

As for the betting amounts, those are pretty much in line with the usual RTG practice. You can pick a sum between $0.01 and $5 per coin, and the maximum number of lines you can play on is 20. Therefore, the total betting amount on all lines can go from $0.20 to $100, and the choice is totally up to you. What’s great about this wide selection is that any sum you pick can win you a progressive jackpot, as it is awarded randomly, and you can hope for it after each spin.

Wild Symbol:

The above mentioned Lion looks quite friendly and with a good reason. He can be seen on reels 1, 3, and 5, and he is there to substitute for all other symbols, in order to form a winning combination (this doesn’t work for the scattered lairs). All the prizes won with its help will be doubled.

Scatter Symbol:

This is a feature that I personally found a bit irritating. First of all, the scatter symbol can be found on just three out of five reels (reels 2, 3, and 4). Second, even if you get two scatters on reel 2 and 4, it won’t be counted as a winner, as the symbols need to be in the order (not scattered) – on reel 2 and 3, for example. This deprives the “scatter” characteristic of the symbol of its true meaning and makes winning on scatters extremely difficult.

Free Spins:

However, if you do manage to get three scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4, you’ll be rewarded with 12 free spins. Those 12 will be split into three rounds of four spins. You’ll be offered to pick a multiplier (2x, 3x or 5x) for each of the rounds. Of course, you can pick each of the multipliers only once. Another cool thing about this feature is that it can be retriggered, and that it’s pretty generous in prizes.

Even though there are some flaws in this slot, it’s still amusing, and it allows you to win some money even if you don’t get the free spins. Still, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to try it or not. As for me, I had some fun, didn’t lose much, but I still think there are other slots I’d rather go back to.
