The Landseer Lions

Probably the most famous of London’s big cats, the Landseer Lions are the four enormous bronze felines that surround Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square.

They’re named after the artist – Sir Edwin Landseer – who designed them, and they were finished in 1868. When Landseer designed the lions, he based his sketches on a combination of real lions that he observed at the London zoo and corpses supplied by the zoo.

The lions seem identical, but if you look closely, each one is slightly different. Landseer also seems to have gotten two parts of the lions’ anatomy wrong – when real lions lay down, their backs curve upwards. However, the sculptures have concave backs. Also, critics say that the lions’ paws look like those of a domestic house cat, rather than the king of the jungle. Some experts say this is because the specimens Landseer was working from may have started to decay before he got to the feet.

Although climbing up to sit astride these big kitties is a popular tourist activity, it’s dangerous and actually causes damage to the statues – so why not just stand back and enjoy their magnificence from ground-level?

Pragmatic Play Bonuses 

It’s no secret that Pragmatic Play games feature many fun in-game bonuses, but what really sets this developer apart is its network-wide Drops and Wins promotion. This promotion lasts four weeks and features a huge prize pool, random cash drops and various casino tournaments. So, if you come across a Pragmatic Play slot with the Drops and Wins logo, spin the reels for a chance to snag a random prize drop — spins on qualifying games count towards the tournament leaderboard too! It's with promotions like these that Pragmatic Play’s creative skills truly shine through. Keep your eye on our ‘Promotions’ page for a chance to bag some colossal wins!

Our View...

We get the usual 96.50% Pragmatic RTP here and the graphics, sounds and animations are pleasant enough. The volatility is medium to high and the free games can pay well, although the Lion Spins are usually poor. Base game hits can also be substantial, but rarely. Essentially, hit the free games often enough and you will be dancing, if you don't then your money will be consumed fast by these hungry lions...

Play Pragmatic Play Slots For Free (Demo)

There are a truck-load of Pragmatic Play slots available at EnergyCasino, but with such a vast selection of fantastic games, many players find difficulty in deciding where to begin. Not to worry though, we have the perfect solution — Pragmatic Play demos. Each Pragmatic Play slot comes with a demo mode where players can wager using virtual currency and essentially spin the reels for free.

If you’re unfamiliar, virtual funds are a form of “fake money” provided by Pragmatic Play. They replace your actual bankroll so you won’t have to tap into your own funds in order to play the demo version of the game. This allows you to explore the wide variety of themes and features offered by these Pragmatic Play games and get a good feeling of how they work. So, you would be able to figure out what you want in a slot game and know exactly what to look for in the future. The only thing to keep in mind is that wins obtained during the demo mode are completely virtual as well.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be asked to register and complete the verification process to access the demos. In cases where verification is not necessary, you may be able to play as a visitor. Access the demo by simply hovering over your chosen game’s thumbnail and select the ‘DEMO’ button.

You wouldn’t believe the features and bonuses Pragmatic Play has come up with — each slot is somehow more unique and awesome than the one before.

5 Lions Dance Review Summary – simple Chinese themed action

The appetite for Chinese-themed slots shows no sign of slowing down. The 5 Lions Dance slot isn’t the most original example you’ll come across in terms of features but the classy design and pair of bonus features make for a solid overall package.

Visually, 5 Lions Dance is very nicely built and the gameplay, though rather simple, stacks up well too. Put all that together and you have a playable addition to the already crowded Chinese-themed shelves.

If you want something other than China, Pragmatic Play have plenty of options. The Star Bounty slot game comes with a 96.6% RTP and top payouts of 25,000 x stake per spin. Another option is Curse of the Werewolf Megaways which offers 40,976 x stake wins and lots of bonus features.

5 Lions Megaways: Betting and Symbols

The Betting options in 5 Lions Megaways has the usual, diverse Pragmatic Play settings.

Bet options in 5 Lions Megaways may be changed by Bet Level, Coin Value, or Total Bet. The lowest option here is £/€0.20 per spin, and the highest option is £/€100 per spin if you don’t include the Ante Bet setting.

The Ante Bet setting is a setting that we’ve seen regularly from Pragmatic Play slots. This allows you to increase your stake by 25% which gives you double the chance to win the feature.

Some may see this option as a plus, and understandably so, but on the other hand it doesn’t inspire much confidence on the slots ability to feature without this option, so sometimes you feel like you’re annoyingly inclined to activate it.

When we look to the Symbols, the Dragon Symbol reigns supreme as the highest paying symbol in the game. Following on from this is the Phoenix, Frog, Koi Fish and Turtle.

Low paying Symbols are Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10, and the Fu Lion acts as the Wild Symbol in this slot.

5 Lions Dance Payouts 

The titular 5 lions bring the biggest payouts, starting with the gold lion with up to 20x your bet and continuing with the white and red at up to 8x and the yellow and green at 4x. The A and K can bring up to 3x the stake while the Q, J and 10 are worth up to 2x. Pragmatic Play says the maximum win can reach up to 2,700x the stake.

As ever, it is the midfield selection that offers the most intriguing clues for second guessing Gatland’s plans for the Test series. Finn Russell makes his first appearance at fly-half and will form a 10-12 axis with Owen Farrell, who is clearly regarded as a strong option at inside centre despite travelling to South Africa as part of the three-strong contingent of ringmasters completed by Dan Biggar. Four years ago Gatland opted for power at inside centre in the first Test against the All Blacks, but a week later Ben Te’o made way for Farrell. The twin playmaker option is clearly still at the forefront of the Kiwi’s mind.

5 Lions Dance Review Conclusion

With a decent 96.5% RTP and a low minimum bet of 0.20 a spin, the 5 Lions Dance slot machine is a great 1024 ways to win game with some pretty fun features.

With a max win of 2,700x your bet, there are some decent wins to be had. But it would have been a little more fun if the variance had been a little lower.

Consider that the Rabbit Hole Riches slot review has a 5,000x your bet max win and only 3 reels and 5 paylines. A little more generosity or a little more action would have made this a must-play.

As it stands, this 5 Lion Dance mobile slot game is fun, pretty to look at, and has lots of great features. Great for when you need a few quick spins.
