They say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. This idiom refers to the weather, but it gives players at online casinos to welcome the month by wagering on lion themed slot games. You will find many such online slots from different software providers. This article reviews and recommends Lion’s Pride. Lion’s Pride is a Microgaming product and is live at online casinos like All Slots, Royal Vegas and 32Red.

It is hardly surprising that the main symbols on the reels are the lion, the lioness and the cub. The zebra and the deer also make an appearance. The low paying symbols are the playing card symbols in a lion-like tawny brown colour. The African mask is the scatter symbol and the Lion’s Pride logo is the wild symbol that can appear stacked on any reel. It also awards the highest line payouts. The win animations are something special in this online slot. The lion lets out a majestic roar to announce its coming. Another interesting feature in this slot game is that the lion and lioness pay out in mixed combinations as well. Then the lion and lioness symbols are changed to show the pair together.

Two or more scatter mask symbols appearing anywhere on the reels award scatter payouts that are multiplied by the total bet. Three or more scatter symbols trigger the free spins feature. You will be awarded up to 25 free spins. A multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x is randomly awarded after each free spin. The free spins can be retriggered. Lion’s Pride also includes the standard Microgaming Gamble Game. After each payout in the base game, you have the option to stake the winnings in the Gamble Game. In the Gamble Game you can either choose a colour. If the next card dealt is of this colour then your stake will be doubled. Or you can choose a suit and try to quadruple your stake. In either case if you guess incorrectly then you will lose the amount won in the spin.

Lion’s Pride is a 100 paylines slot game played on a 5x3 reel structure. Therefore it is bound to offer low variance. You can wager up to 5 coins per payline with a coin size of either 0.01 or 0.02 credits. Hence the maximum total bet per spin is only 10.00, which may keep high rollers away.
