Silver Lion Feature Ball

Silver Lion Feature Ball Review

The original Silver Lion slot was released back in 2016, and developers have tried to revitalize it on several occasions. In early 2023, they decided to go back one more time and add a new feature to the classic, calling it Silver Lion Feature Ball. So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at all the important details of this 5x4 slot with 1,024 ways to win!

As far as the game’s audiovisuals are concerned, there haven’t been any major changes from the original, and it’s fair to say that this means that things are a bit outdated by modern standards. It’s nothing particularly bad, and the slot’s looks certainly evoke some nostalgia, but it’s nothing that could attract new players.

The math model of Silver Lion Feature Ball has a high volatility level, and its jackpot is around 800x your bet. The game’s min bet stands at £0.48 per spin, while its max bet is £60. The overall theoretical RTP of Silver Lion Feature Ball is then 96.20%, which is a notch above average and more than fine.

Silver Lion Feature Ball Slot Features

There are as many as 12 pay symbols in Silver Lion Feature Ball, and you can look forward to 6 low-paying symbols, 4 mid-paying symbols, and 2 high-paying symbols. First, there are card ranks from Nines to Aces, and it’s worth noting that Nines pay out even in sets of just two matching symbols. Next, there are meerkats, zebras, hippos, and hunters, and these symbols all pay out even in sets of just two as well. The same then applies to the two high-paying lion symbols as well, so it’s not particularly hard to get a winning combination.

In terms of specials, there are Tree Wilds, Diamond Scatters, and Feature Ball symbols. Tree Wilds are entirely basic in the base game, and they can appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4.

If you land 3, 4, or 5 Diamond Scatters in one go, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 8, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. During free spins, you can land 2 Diamond Scatters to get 5 extra free spins, and Tree Wilds act as Multiplier Wilds that double or even triple wins in which they feature.

To get to the new Feature Ball bonus game, you have to get at least 3 Feature Ball symbols on the playing field. This bonus game works like the popular Plinko game, and you’ll actually get to select the pockets that you want to act as winning pockets. You can win both bet multipliers and free spins in the bonus game.

Review Summary

Truth be told, we aren’t quite sure that Silver Lion Feature Ball is worth it in its current form. The original Silver Lion might be a cult classic of sorts, but we’d say that it deserves a better treatment than this one. The Feature Ball bonus game is quite fun, but the rest of the game has aged a bit by now, and we’d therefore like to see a complete redesign instead of just this addition of one extra bonus feature.
