Free slot: Lion Gems

How Lion Gems works

Lion Gems slot is the latest creation of the provider Playson. The latter has been present since 2012 in online casinos by offering new slots quite regularly. The themes remain fairly recurrent and Lion Gems is no exception, as players are invited to venture into this bright savannah to try and hit the jackpot.

Lion Gems has the Hold & Win feature. This adds an extra bonus to the slot, in addition to the free spins. Although visually, Lion Gems looks very classic, the animations are still well done and we'll turn to the more technical aspects to find the positives!

Ready to jump on board with Lucky7Bonus and discover the Lion Gems slot from Playson in great detail? Otherwise, feel free to play Lion Gems for free at the top of this page to make up your own mind. Below, we will first discuss the technical details of the slot, the different symbols, the connections, how the bonuses work and finally, we will give you our general opinion on Lions Gems.

The base game grid consists of 5 reels and 4 lines. The theoretical return to player (RTP) is 95.55%, which is below the general average of online slots which is 96%. The volatility of Lion Gems is high, which means that the slot won't pay out very often, but once it does, the payout can be interesting!

Bets start at 10 cents and can go up to 100 euros per spin at Lucky7Bonus online casino partners. The maximum payout is 3,000 times the bet, which is equivalent to a €300,000 jackpot when betting at €100.

During the base game, players can collect diamonds at the top of the grid. This feature will increase your chances of unlocking Lion Gems bonuses. Once one of the bonuses is unlocked, your diamond total will reset to zero.

Lion Gems symbols

Playson's Lion Gems slot has many symbols. First of all, the premium symbols are represented by animals from the savannah: the Rhino, the Cheetah, the Zebra, the Warthog and the Pink Flamingo. The best symbol can win up to 8 times the starting bet. These premium symbols do not appear very often on the grid, but the payouts are higher than the regular symbols.

The common symbols are represented by the classics: Ace, King, Queen and Jack. They appear much more often, but the payouts are much lower. All of them will pay a maximum of 1.6 times the original bet. The image below shows you the different symbols of the Lion Gems slot and their payouts with a starting bet of €1.

The Wild symbol is of course present in the Lion Gems slot and can pay up to 8 times the starting bet, in case 5 Wilds connect together. Of course, the Wild symbol substitutes all other symbols, not to mention the bonus symbols. The Wild x2 can only appear during Lion Gems free spins.

Not to mention the Scatters that will unlock the free spins with at least 3 Scatters on the same spin. Alternatively, the diamond symbols will unlock the Hold & Win bonus with at least 5 diamonds on the same spin.

The different connections in Lion Gems

The Lion Gems slot offers 30 paylines on its 5-reel, 4-line grid. Connections can only be made from left to right, at least three of the same symbols must be on the first three reels. The image below gives you an overview of the paylines in the Lion Gems slot.

How the Lion Gems Bonus Works

The Lion Gems slot machine will offer you 2 very different bonuses during your game sessions. First, by collecting at least 5 diamonds on a spin in the base game. This bonus will give you 3 free spins that will reset each time a new diamond falls on the Lion Gems grid. The image below shows you the top 3 diamonds that players can get with the associated winnings for a starting bet of €1.

The more traditional diamonds will have a value of between 1 and 10 times your original bet. Luck will have to be on your side if you want to win the biggest diamond, represented by the Grand Jackpot. In order to win the maximum 3,000 times your original bet, you must fill in all the boxes on the Lion Gems grid with diamonds, and that's a tough job.

With the more classic Scatter symbols, players can unlock the free spins. At least 3 Scatters are required to win the 8 free spins in Lion Gems. During the bonus round, you again have the opportunity to unlock an additional 8 free spins with 3 Scatters.

The wild symbols now have a x2 multiplier, which is a great opportunity to get some great cash. Note that it is possible to unlock the Hold & Win bonus during the free spins. For the impatient, the Lion Gems bonus from Playson is unfortunately not available for purchase.

Our opinion on Lion Gems

The Lion Gems slot will not be the slot of the year, but the provider Playson is getting better and better, offering more and more beautiful and technically interesting slots. Although the theme seems to be very sparse, the symbols and animations are beautiful and transport us to the middle of the savannah.

The features are refreshing, Playson did not just offer simple free spins, the Hold & Win bonus offers adrenaline to players who want to win the Lion Gems jackpot at any cost! The RTP is still below average, which is still quite a negative point to play this slot regularly.

Lucky7Bonus strongly recommends that you play Lion Gems by Playson for free at the top of this page or at any of our online casino partners. Before playing with a real balance, take advantage of the exclusive welcome offers to start your adventure with a boosted balance.
