Decide whether a Chinese-themed 5x3 slot suits you. 5 Lions is a video slot with 243 ways to win, left to right, and at least 3 matching symbols pay. The symbols are Dragon, Phoenix, Golden Money Toad, Koi Fish, Turtle and the cards A, K, Q, J and 10. WILD appears on reels 2 to 4. Each spin draws one multiplier from 1x to 40x, applied to every win that contains a WILD.
Choose the spin count and multiplier range once the bonus starts. Three or more Scatter symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost trigger Free Spins, which expand the grid to 576 ways. Pick one of seven options, from 6 to 25 spins against multiplier ranges up to 40x, or let MYSTERY CHOICE pick at random. Retriggers are unlimited.
Before you bet, know the return to player: it is the share of each stake paid back over a long run, measured on A$100 staked. The version run here is shown in the game rules.

Five steps per round
Skycrown lists the figures first, so you decide each step with the numbers in view.
Pick a bet from A$0.50 up to A$100 before you spin. Each win across the 243 ways is paid at the bet you chose, so A$5 pays more than A$0.50.
Land three or more matching symbols on neighbouring reels from the left to win. Wins with a WILD on reels 2 to 4 take that spin's multiplier.
Watch reels 2 to 4 for WILD symbols, which carry the spin's multiplier. Each spin draws one of nine multipliers, from 1x up to 40x, and a Scatter can start Free Spins.
Land at least three Scatter symbols on adjacent reels from the left to start Free Spins. Then pick one of seven options, or let MYSTERY CHOICE choose.
Decide how much you will spend before the first spin, and stop when you reach it. If play stops feeling fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Before you start a session on 5 Lions, know that the free spins arrive at a rate nobody can predict. Skycrown Casino cannot tell you when the Scatter symbols will line up, and no session runs to a set result. Every spin is random, so one session can end with a large win or with an empty balance, whatever the RTP says.
Open the game rules before you place a bet, because the RTP version this lobby entry runs is shown only there. The game name alone tells you nothing about the version. Read the figure once, then set your budget with that number in mind. Only the rules settle which version you play.
Start with the stake, not the top prize. The maximum win of 5 Lions is a ceiling that players reach very rarely, and no session is built around it. Treat the top figure as a limit on the payout, not a target for your balance. Set a loss limit before the first spin and keep to it.
Before the first reel
Settles where to start: the demo first, then the account needed for real money.
The 5 Lions demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Skycrown Casino and you must be 18+.

Useful once a session on 5 Lions ends and you want another game to compare.
Players must be 18+ to play 5 Lions. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or join BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget before you open 5 Lions, and play only the money it covers.
Decide when to stop before you spin, and keep that rule after a win. A big win on 5 Lions does not change it.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account settings before you play 5 Lions. Those limits cap your deposits and losses.
Take a pause as soon as 5 Lions stops being fun, not after the balance runs out. Pausing early keeps the choice in your hands.
Five questions answered
You will know the bet range, the free spin options and the RTP before you play.
Pick 5 Lions for a fixed 5x3 grid with 243 ways, left to right. This version has a maximum win of x3,520 the bet, while the other versions in the series list run from x2,700 to x8,000. Compare that figure before you choose.
Land 3 or more Scatter symbols on adjacent reels, counted from the leftmost reel, to trigger the free spins. Once triggered, you pick one of seven options that trade 6 to 25 spins against a multiplier range of up to 40x. Mystery Choice picks one option at random.
Choose 5 Lions knowing its volatility is high. Wins come less often, but the biggest reach x3,520 the bet. How often the free spins come and what a session returns cannot be known in advance.
Set a bet between A$0.50 and A$100 per spin, the lowest and highest stakes allowed here. The maximum win scales with the stake: x3,520 the bet at every level. Tables on this page use A$0.50 and A$5 as examples only.
Read the RTP of 96.50 as a long-run figure, not a result for one session. The game has one RTP version, and every version in the series lists the same 96.50. Money figures in the RTP table are based on A$100 staked.
