Most people would think of a lion's lair as being a really scary place to be. However, the Lion's Lair video slot by Realtime Gaming has quite the opposite feel. With a bright and sunny African safari theme, the Lion's Lair video slot offers players an upbeat game with a cartoonish feel. Even though the name seems to have a serious connotation, this is actually a light-spirited game that gives players good chances for medium and large payouts.
The big symbols in this game are the Lion, the Lioness and the Lair. The Lion acts as the wild symbol in Lion's Lair, but it doesn't quite dominate the game like wild symbols do in most video slots since it only shows up on the first, third and fifth reels. The Lioness is the top-paying regular symbol, and just like any headstrong woman, she balances out the power of the wild Lion. Since the wild Lion gives winning combinations a 2x multiplier, you'll be able to get the highest payout of 7,500 times your line bet if you pick up five of the Lioness including at least one Lion symbol.
The Lair symbols show up on the middle three reels, and they act as a scatter symbol. Get all three of them on the reels at once, and you get a set of 12 free spins. You'll get multipliers of 2x, 3x and 5x with four spins given for each multiplier. You get to choose the order of the multipliers, and that adds a little bit of a personalization factor to the free spins bonus feature. This bonus round has a more serious feel that stands out from the relaxed atmosphere of the normal game. These free spins also help to round out the balanced paytable of Lion's Lair.
