Treasures of Lion City
Lion City was an ancient Chinese city that has now become the inspiration for a thrilling online slots game. The real Lion City was founded in 25-200AD in Eastern China, and fast became an economic hub for the nation. Much later in the 1950s, the Chinese communist government built a massive dam and power station for the locals. To do this, they flooded a whole valley to build a large enough dam, completely submerging Lion City under water as a result. The mysterious metropolis still exists to this day, 130 feet under the water, where its roads, arches, temples and homes can still be seen.

Of course, this story is an excellent inspiration for online mobile slots developers. It wasn’t long before Microgaming and Pulse 8 Studios jumped on it, and developed Treasures of Lion City. This creative mobile slots game has 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines, and its reels are set beneath the clear waters of the lake that floods the ancient metropolis.
Explore a Long Lost City
Treasures of Lion City features a stunning online slots backdrop of 2 huge stone lion statues and various Chinese decorations. Betting starts from 0.25 per spin, but high rollers can enjoy gameplay for up to 50.00 coins per spin. There are 2 sets of symbols on the reels of these online casino games too. Lower wins can be triggered by landing A, J, Q and K symbols, and the higher paying symbols include crystals, warrior helmets, immortality elixirs and gold chests.
The gold chest symbol is the most valuable one in the base game, offering up to 18x your stake for 5 of a kind. This online casino game has a total RTP of 94.20%, and is rated as medium volatility. This means that players can expect regular jackpots of a sizeable amount to land while they play.
Win with Wilds and Multipliers
There are no traditional bonus features in these online slots. Instead, there are many different Wilds that each offers their own special rewards. The standard Wild in this mobile slot is a golden lion symbol that can fill in for other base game symbols to form wins. It will also pay out whenever 2 or more land on the grid at the same time. Players can enjoy Wild wins of up to 20x their bets if they can land 5 Wilds in a row.
Treasures of Lion City also features the popular Rolling Reels mechanic. This feature allows winning symbols on the reels to disappear as more roll down from above to replace them. It is possible to land consecutive wins thanks to this feature, and when you do, a number of bonuses will be awarded according to how many cascades you have triggered. These bonuses include multipliers of 3x, 9x and 27x, and various symbols turning into Wilds.
This is a unique online slots title with a theme that you won’t find anywhere else. Treasures of Lion City boasts beautiful graphics and animations, as well as some impressive winning potential thanks to its various Wilds. The top prize in this online casino game is worth 2,600x your stake, so exploring its depths is well worth your while!
