Treasures of Lion City Slot Review: Rolling Reels and Win Meter

Treasures of Lion City official slot artwork

Treasures of Lion City is built around what happens after a win. The exact rules describe a five-reel, 25-payline slot in which all paylines remain enabled, but the initial payout is only the start of the sequence: winning regular symbols are removed, symbols above them fall into place, and the resulting layout is checked again. During that Rolling Reels feature, every alternate rolling-reel win awards a Win Meter bonus. A separate Paytable Achievements feature records regular symbol combinations over time. This creates an exploration-style structure with two kinds of progress: immediate movement on the reels and a persistent record outside the current spin.

A fixed 25-line starting map

Treasures of Lion City uses five reels and 25 paylines, all permanently enabled on every spin. The total bet depends on bet size multiplied by bet value, while the credits bet per payline are calculated by dividing the total by the number of paylines. Regular symbols must be next to each other on an enabled payline, and regular wins pay from left to right starting on the first reel. Only the highest regular combination is paid per payline when more than one is possible; bonus wins are added to regular wins. That structure gives the opening spin a fixed map, so the game’s main decision is stake selection rather than choosing a subset of lines.

Rolling Reels make a win a route

Any win activates Rolling Reels. After the regular winning combination is paid, the winning symbols are removed, and symbols above the gaps shift down to fill the empty spaces. If that shifted layout creates another win, the new result is paid and the process repeats without another bet. Regular wins are automatically collected during the feature. The important limit is causal: the chain continues only when the replacement arrangement qualifies, so a first win creates an opportunity rather than a guarantee of many more. The feature changes the meaning of a spin from one fixed outcome to a route through successive layouts, with each removal affecting what can appear next. Because the rules describe the sequence as a result of the existing win, the player does not place a fresh wager between its stages; the uncertainty is whether the shifted symbols produce the next qualifying combination.

The Win Meter works inside the chain

The Win Meter is available only during Rolling Reels, not as a separate base-game meter. On every alternate rolling-reels win, the player receives a bonus on the Win Meter bar. The operator identifies two bonus types. Symbol Turn Wild transforms high symbols into Wilds; those transformed Wilds revert to their original symbols when the feature ends. Win Multiplier multiplies subsequent wins by the bonus multiplier value, and only the highest multiplier value is awarded. This makes the meter a timing mechanic: it can strengthen later wins in the current rolling sequence, but the Symbol Turn Wild effect is temporary and the rules do not justify treating the meter as a permanent upgrade.

Paytable Achievements and configuration limits

Paytable Achievements track winning status by highlighting symbol combinations. When all combinations for the same symbol have been won, that symbol is highlighted, and the achievement remains highlighted after leaving the game. Regular game wins are logged, but Wild substitution wins are explicitly excluded. The page warns that this feature may not be available in the game being played, a version or operator caveat that should remain visible. The same source records RTP at 94.20% and a £250,000 maximum single-game win; these are operator-page figures, not a universal x-bet claim. Volatility and release date are not stated in the saved exact-title evidence and remain unknown.

Strengths and weak points

Strengths

Rolling Reels turn every win into a possible continuation, while alternate chain wins can activate temporary Wilds or a subsequent-win multiplier through the Win Meter.

Weaknesses

The chain depends on each replacement layout, Win Meter bonuses are sequence-bound, and Paytable Achievements exclude Wild substitution wins and may be unavailable.

Our Editor’s View

Treasures of Lion City’s identity comes from layered continuation rather than a bonus-round headline. The fixed 25-payline layout keeps the opening wager legible, then any win opens Rolling Reels: symbols disappear, the upper symbols drop, and a new arrangement can pay without another stake. The Win Meter adds a second layer only inside that chain, with alternate wins awarding either temporary high-symbol Wilds or a subsequent-win multiplier; only the highest multiplier is awarded. Paytable Achievements provide a longer-lived record, but they track regular combinations and exclude Wild substitution wins, and the rules warn that the feature may not be available in every deployment. The supplied 94.20% RTP and £250,000 maximum are tied to the operator rules page.
