Slot Summary

A reel grid that becomes a prize-collection board defines Lion Gems: Hold and Win, Playson's animal slot set on the African savannah. The lion serves as both central character and Wild, while diamonds connect ordinary spins to the bonus. Diamond Peak gives that connection an additional route beyond waiting for a standard trigger.

How It Plays

Line combinations run from left to right, beginning on the first reel. Matching symbols must occupy neighboring reels along an active payline for the combination to qualify.

Only the highest qualifying combination on each active line pays. This line-based calculation handles ordinary symbol wins, while the diamond feature creates a separate opportunity to enter the collection bonus.

Bonus & Free Spins

During Hold and Win, Mystery symbols can reveal prize awards alongside the named prize symbols. Filling every available position awards the Grand, making completion of the entire board a separate objective from collecting individual values.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium-High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.55%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (3,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
