9 Lions series
The 9 Lions formula: compact reels, changing bonus engines
The 9 Lions series is Wazdan's Asian-animal bonus franchise, built on a compact 3x3 screen and prize features that lock or collect value during respins. 9 Lions uses free spins, wilds, scatters, an energy-style symbol collection meter and a pick-object bonus. Its medium-volatility profile and 1,000x maximum keep the original centered on several distinct bonus routes.

9 Lions Hold the Jackpot turns that multi-feature base into a more concentrated Hold and Win design. Cash collection, mystery symbols, fixed jackpots, Bonus Bet and Bonus Buy access replace the original's free-spin and energy-collection emphasis, while the maximum moves down to 750x. The sequel therefore changes access and reward structure more than presentation: it keeps the small screen and feline imagery but makes the respin bonus the main event.
