About 5 Lions Reborn
Released in January 2025, 5 Lions Reborn is the modern reboot of the original 5 Lions (2017), one of Pragmatic Play's founding Asian-themed slots. Pragmatic delivers a graphically and mechanically modernised version of the classic: the same 5x3 / 243-ways format, now with a 100x bonus buy added and boosted multipliers.
Format is 5x3 with 243 ways, 96.5% RTP, high volatility, and a max win of 5,000x your stake (versus 1,920x on the original 5 Lions — 2.6x higher).
The visuals modernise the classic Asian premium look: five distinct oriental lions (red, gold, blue, green, white), floating red lanterns, golden Chinese calligraphy, and a red-gold-black palette wrapped in a mystical haze. The animations are far more polished than the 2017 original, with entrance cinematics, smooth transitions and golden particle effects.
Mechanics: 243 ways (any left-to-right combination of adjacent symbols pays), an innovative Wild Reels feature (entire reels can randomly turn wild), free-spins multipliers of x2/x3/x5/x10, and a free spins round of 8/12/15 spins (3/4/5 scatters). A 100x stake bonus buy is available (banned in the UK) — a major difference from the original, which had none.
Available in France at BetsRank's top-rated crypto casinos. For 5 Lions fans wanting the modern version with a bonus buy, this is the obvious pick. See also the original 5 Lions (2017), 5 Lions Megaways (2020) and 5 Lions Megaways 2 (2024).
