The Lion’s Share of the Loot for World Lion Day

World Lion Day is around the corner, and while it may not be the most popular of international celebrations, it’s a good excuse to check out some lion-themed slot games. Slots and lions may not seem like a particularly compelling combination, but players will be surprised by the amount of options available to them. While it’s worth it for players to take a look at the selection themselves and see what catches their eye, this list is as good a place as any to start. 

5 Lions

Any discussion of lions and slots (as few and far between as they may be) should always begin with a mention of 5 Lions. Designed by Pragmatic Play, this popular series of slot games features dynamic, vibrant colours and aesthetically pleasing scatters and transitions. Guarding the treasury are the Chinese Lions, with special features such as seven lion-head multiplies (in different colours) and a Yin-Yang scatter. If that’s not enough to get the average player excited, 5 Lions also holds 243 paylines in the video slot, as well as an RTP of 96.5%.

Hercules 10K Ways

The story of Hercules (or Heracles) is known throughout the world despite its origins in Ancient Greece. A demigod with a strength to rival that of Zeus, Hercules completed a series of excruciating tasks in one of Greek myth’s most popular tales. One of these suitably Herculean tasks was facing off against the Nemean Lion—hence this game’s position on this list. 

Developed by the rather ironically named Yggdrasil Gaming, Hercules 10K Ways requires the strengths of the gods to fend off its numerous mythological beasts. Complete with stunning graphics and animations, this high-stakes game of slots features 6 reels, 4 rows, and an RTP of 96.1%.

Savage Lion

What better way to celebrate World Lion Day than to take a trip to their birthplace—the African wilderness. Developed by Ruby Play, Savage Lion invites players on a perilous journey into the heart of Africa. As the game progresses, players will be rewarded with wild symbols. Collecting all wild symbols grants access to the mystic drum which, when it explodes, rewards players even more with a fantastic payout. 

Like many other games on this list, Savage Lion is beautiful to behold thanks to its fantastic art-style and high graphical fidelity.

3 Laughing Lions

Like any beloved animal, lions are not known for their fearsomeness alone. Indeed, lions have shown to be affectionate and cute as well. They also know how to tell a good joke—or so 3 Laughing Lions would have you believe. 

Another sojourn to the majestic Asian continent awaits players of this particular game. Developed by Northern Lights Gaming, 3 Laughing Lions includes stylised, Asian-influenced artwork coupled with whimsical animations. With an RTP of 96.07%, players are sure to feel the rush of slots with this one.

Lion’s Hoard

The last game on this list invites players to face off against the King of the Jungle himself for his pot of gold. (For the record, leprechauns are much easier to fight). Only, it’s not just gold, but untold riches and treasures as well—including all the diamonds a player could ever want.

Of course, the challenge isn’t going to be easy. Set in an ancient golden hall, players will need to fill up their two diamond sockets to win big. 

Lion’s Hoard was developed by Red Tiger Gaming, a well-respected name in the industry, so players can expect top-of-the-line presentation, keeping them engaged for the entire experience. The stakes are high, but the potential payout is even higher.

World Lion Day

These are just some of the games that roar with excitement for you to celebrate World Lion Day. You can be sure you’ll be full of pride after winning with these slots.
