What is 5 Lions Megaways?

5 Lions Megaways is a 6-reel video slot from Pragmatic Play with a 96.5% RTP, very high volatility, up to 117649 ways to win, and a top win of 5,000x your bet. Its standout mechanic is the Megaways engine, where the number of rows on each reel changes with every spin, driving the active ways count up and down dynamically.

Pragmatic Play applied the Megaways license to its 5 Lions IP for this 2021 release, adding the variable-reel mechanic to the existing Chinese lion theme. With six reels and up to seven rows on each reel simultaneously, the game can reach the full 117649-ways configuration on peak spins. The combination of very high volatility and the Megaways format means win frequency is low but potential single-spin outcomes are wide when the reels expand.

How To Play 5 Lions Megaways Slot - Step By Step

Head to Wild.io and create a free account to start playing 5 Lions Megaways.

1. Set your bet using the stake controls. 5 Lions Megaways does not use fixed paylines, ways to win are determined dynamically each spin by the variable reel heights.
2. Spin the reels and observe how many rows appear on each of the six reels. The more rows showing, the more ways to win are active that spin.
3. Watch for Scatter symbols landing on multiple reels to trigger the free spins feature. Scatter placement rules follow the Megaways format conventions.
4. During the free spins, the Megaways engine continues to determine reel heights dynamically. Wild symbols substitute for all paying symbols to help complete the larger ways-to-win formations.
5. Bigger Megaways configurations during free spins are where the larger win potential concentrates. The 5,000x max win requires the reels to expand near their maximum and for high-value symbols to fill the active positions.
6. The game is available in demo mode at Wild.io to explore the mechanics before playing for real money.

You can also deposit using various supported payment methods.

5 Lions Megaways Slot Theme & Graphics

5 Lions Megaways uses the same Chinese lion guardian visual language as the rest of the series. Five ornamental lion statues frame the game, with a traditional red and gold palette dominating the background and symbol art. The Megaways format is overlaid on this aesthetic: the variable-row reels are presented cleanly without disrupting the Chinese temple visual structure.

Audio follows the pattern of the series, using percussion and string accents that intensify during larger Megaways configurations and free spins. On mobile the variable reel heights render dynamically, with the grid expanding and contracting visibly from spin to spin. The Megaways engine was developed by Big Time Gaming under license and provides the dynamic reel mechanic Pragmatic Play has applied here.

5 Lions Megaways Slot Symbols & Paytables

5 Lions Megaways carries the series' six lower-value and five higher-value paying symbols across a Megaways grid that can show up to seven rows per reel.

Low Value Symbols

The six lower-value symbols occupy the bottom of the paytable. With variable row heights under the Megaways engine, low-value symbols can appear in significant clusters across the grid when rows are at their maximum. While their individual payouts are modest, landing multiples across many of the 117649 potential ways to win simultaneously produces the only meaningful base-game returns.

High Value Symbols

Five premium symbols styled as Chinese lion figures and traditional decorative elements sit at the top of the paytable. Their frequency is low by design given the very high volatility setting. When the Megaways grid expands and multiple premium symbols land across adjacent reels, the combinations multiply rapidly across the available ways. These moments are where the 5,000x max win potential concentrates.

Special Symbols

The Wild symbol appears on the reels and substitutes for all paying symbols. With the Megaways format dynamically adjusting how many positions each reel shows, a Wild landing on a taller reel during a high-ways-count configuration can substitute across more vertical positions simultaneously.

5 Lions Megaways Bonus Feature & Special Features

Megaways Engine (up to 117649 Ways)

5 Lions Megaways uses the Megaways mechanic across six reels. On each spin, every reel independently shows a variable number of symbol rows, typically between two and seven. The total ways to win is calculated by multiplying the number of symbols showing on each reel across all six reels. At maximum reel expansion (7 symbols per reel on all six reels), ways to win reach 117649. This means the active ways count shifts every spin, with larger grid configurations producing more simultaneous win combinations from any given symbol landing.

Free Spins

The free spins feature in 5 Lions Megaways triggers when Scatter symbols land on qualifying reels simultaneously. The Megaways engine remains active during free spins, so reel heights continue to vary on every free spin. Wild symbols contribute to the wider ways combinations throughout the feature. The 5,000x max win ceiling is most accessible during free spins when larger grid configurations align with high-value symbol placements and Wild substitutions.
