Red Tiger's treasure online slot machine, Lion's Hoard, has a medieval theme and 20 win-both-ways paylines spread across 5x4 reels. Mystery reels are created by gathering white diamond scatters, which remain in place until a win is partially achieved. Occasionally, they will transform into sticky super wild reels, and a unique blue diamond scatter will instantly fill every meter. You could win up to 7,150 times your stake, and there is a lot of volatility.
White Diamond Scatters, which are gathered in the corresponding Lion meters above each reel, will land on all reels save reel 3. When all four Diamond sockets are filled, the corresponding reel becomes a Diamond Reel. The meters come with two of the four Diamond sockets pre-filled. All that's present in the Diamond Reel are locked Mystery Stones, which, on a subsequent spin, reveal a randomly chosen matching pay symbol. The mystery stone reel doesn't stop spinning until at least one symbol appears in a winning combination; after that, the metre resets to have all four slots empty.
The Mystery Stones are still susceptible to Diamond Scatter landings, which raises the reel multiplier by +1 for each scatter that does. All win lines that the mystery reel appears on are multiplied by the multiplier, which multiplies the values of each multiplier reel by a maximum of x96. Only the middle reel is where Blue Diamond Scatters can land, and this unique symbol instantly fills all Diamond sockets. Active Diamond Reels have an additional +1 added to their multiplier value. Occasionally, the Mystery Reels/Stones will reveal a complete 1x4 stack of wilds, which then unites to form a fully expanded Super Wild. After that, this full reel wild turns sticky until it appears in a winning combination, at which point everything resumes as normal.
Red Tiger has once again produced a superb audiovisual presentation, and the game's mechanics are tangible. Visit Spin Genie to play this game!
