Symbols Types

Lion Gems has 11 main symbols, including four high-paying gemstones – sparkling blue sapphires, dazzling yellow citrines, glimmering pink rubies, and shining green emeralds. Landing five of these gems on a payline awards up to 500 coins. Lower-paying icons are the playing cards from 10 to A. Three lion cubs represent the scatter that triggers the Free Spins round. The wild lion not only substitutes for other symbols but also expands to cover entire reels, bringing huge win potential. Finally, four animal friend symbols – a zebra, giraffe, monkey and meerkat – activate the interactive bonus games for even more excitement!
