The Wombat says: Every now and again I like to swap the dry red earth of my home country, and get my paws amongst the dusty plains of Africa. And when I do, I make sure I spend a day or two with Arnie my aadvark pal in Tanzania. He knows all the best watering holes, and even better, the newest good looking slots like the Forbidden Throne slot and this Big Cat slot- Silver Lion.
Anyway, on my last trip to the Serengeti, he uncovered this release from Lightning Box Games – based around a fearsome and strangely handsome lion. Naturally we weren’t too keen on the slot at first (what with Arnie having lost most of his close family to those hungry oversized cats) but the Wild Multipliers and the ‘1024 Ways to Win’ soon changed our minds.
So Wombat Fans, fire up the reels and take a look for yourself. Just exercise a bit of caution…
Look and Feel
The design is Silver Lion slot is pretty good, and is based on all the things you’d find in the African Savannah. Being a furry chap myself, I do like a game with interesting animals in it (the Lake’s Five slot is another fave) and this game didn’t disappoint.
There’s a whole host of animals on reels, the jungle is visible in the background while the sounds of wildlife roaring and squawking keep you company as the reels spin. The game has plenty of animations to keep things interested. It’s somewhere between the Heat is On slot and Asgardian Stones on the design stakes.
This Wombat also likes how the blue-eyed Silver Lion himself come to life with a pounce when you land a winning combination with him in it. Frighteningly realistic.
Silver Lion Slot Game Play
The game play in Silver Lion slot is pretty straightforward Wombat Fans – you’re playing 5 reels and this game has 1024 ways to win. Simply match the symbols anywhere on the reels from left to right and you’ll win.
Your safari-like symbols on the reels are made up of a couple of zebras, 3 meerkats, an open-mouthed hippo, a Masai warrior hunter, and that good-looking lion fella, plus the standard 9, 10, J, Q & K playing cards as your low value icons.
The Wild symbol in Silver Lion slot is the baobab tree in the sunset, and this cool little icon will substitute for any other symbol to help you make extra winning combos (all except for the scatter icon). It also comes with a cheeky little multiplier in the Bonus feature. Now that’s what we like to hear!
The Scatter symbol is the pink diamond Silver Lion logo. Land 3x or more of these dazzling bonus symbols and you’ll set off the Free Spins!
Bonus Features
Majestic Cat Free Spins
As we mentioned, to set these off you’ll need 3x or more of the Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels Next you’ll get 8x, 15x or 20x Free Spins (depending on how many diamond bonus icons you landed in the first place).
Tree Wilds
During this round Tree Wilds will multiply wins that it contributes to by 2x or 3x – but it’s also accumulative; so if you manage to pick up 3 wilds in a winning combo your pay out could be a whopping 27x your bet, i.e 3x3x3.
And there’s more good news! Landing 2x more of the diamond Scatters during the Free Spins will retrigger the bonus giving you an 5 extra spins!
Conclusion
The Silver Lion slot comes with heaps of winning potential thanks to the ‘all ways’ win set-up and those very generous Wild multipliers in the bonus round. So see if you can’t hunt down this blue-eyed predator and his massive payouts, before he finds you …..
