More than half a century ago, an artificial lake swallowed the ancient city of Shi Cheng in China, creating what is today known as Lion City. Microgaming is taking players to an epic adventure set deep underwater, where they'll have the chance to explore the sunken remains of this magnificent city, and possibly discover some of its hidden treasures. Treasures of Lion City features a standard reel set, while at the same time offering punters the opportunity to scoop prizes going up to 2,600 their total bet. Considered to be a medium volatility slot, Treasures of Lion City is playable from $0.25. Featurewise, the game offers Wilds, multipliers and Rolling Reels.

Treasures of Lion City is a beautifully-designed game, with the reels set in an underwater cavern, with two lions guarding the grid. As we've already pointed out, this release has a standard 5x3 layout, while players are sure to benefit from 25 paylines on offer. To start receiving payouts, all you need to do is to land at least 3 matching symbols. The coin value ranges from $0.01 to $2, but since the number of paylines is fixed, it means your bet can be anywhere from $0.25 to $50 per spin.

Boasting a theme that hasn't been used by other developers, the game provides an enjoyable playing experience. Populating the reels are various symbols, starting from the ever-present low-value playing card icons, to green and blue crystals, potions, treasure chests, and helmets. The symbol featuring the Golden Lion acts as Wild, which means it is able to substitute for other game symbols, thus helping players create additional winning combinations.

When it comes to features on offer, Treasures of Lion City doesn't have much to offer, although it's still capable of awarding neat payouts. Wild will not only stand in for other symbols, but it will also give nice prizes. Land all 5 of a kind on a payline, and you'll receive a payout worth 20x the triggering bet. In addition to this, Wild will be very useful as it can help complete winning combos.

It's the Rolling Reels feature that definitely adds to the excitement. This feature is activated after a win, removing the winning symbols from the grid, which allows new icons to occupy the empty places. If a new winning combination is formed, the process will repeat! The more cascades you create, the bigger will your prizes be, as multipliers are added to the game, ranging from 3x to 27x.

Treasures of Lion City does offer an entertaining experience and more than a decent winning potential, although its average Return to Player of 94.20% is disappointingly low for a release such as this. The game developers could have added a feature or two more, that's for sure. Microgaming says this is a medium variance slot, although it feels like its volatility is much higher. Multipliers bring huge payouts, but you'll definitely have to be very patient.
