Dive Deep for the Treasures

Treasures of Lion City is a five-reel slot from Microgaming which takes place in an underwater city. Think of a place like Atlantis that is situated in the Far East and you’ll have a fair idea of what to expect. This title, which was developed by Pulse 8 Studios, looks good and plays well, and its five reels are framed in a structure of stone and wood which is flanked by two ornate lion statues.

Symbols used in this game include the playing card ranks of J, Q, K and A, a blue crystal, a green crystal, a flask of mysterious blue liquid, a helmet, a treasure chest and a lion wild. An orchestral soundtrack does a very good job of creating an atmosphere of adventure, and sound effects include plenty of water effects so that you don’t risk forgetting where you are.

Rolling Reels with Multiplier Potential

This game makes great use of Microgaming’s Rolling Reels mechanic, which means that any symbols that form part of a winning combination are removed from the reels so that fresh symbols can roll into play. Treasures of Lion City goes, further, however, because running across the top beam of the stone-and-wood structure which houses the reels is a Win Meter. This has six slots, which show the flask symbol, the helmet, the treasure chest, and three multiplier symbols worth x3, x9 and x27.

These symbol slots will be illuminated, in sequence, on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th consecutive Rolling Reels wins. Illuminate a symbol and that symbol will serve as a wild for all subsequent Rolling Reels cascades of the current spin. Illuminate a multiplier value and that value will increase all wins which are achieved from subsequent Rolling Reels cascades for the current spin.

Simple and Straightforward

There isn’t much else to say about Treasures of Lion City, so it is probably one of those titles that is best suited to those who are in the mood for a simple and straightforward gaming session. Head over to your favourite Microgaming venue to dive in, and good luck in finding some treasure!
