Lightning Box Software has somewhat of a thing for safari themes, there being a dozen or so of them in their catalogue. It’s no surprise that the Silver Lioness is just another game with a big cat theme. The graphics are not lacking as per se, they just present s style long gone past. What you will love about this slot are the special features. The company specialises in the mathematics behind the machine so you better get ready for some surprising spins.
Theme
The wild countryside shows up as endless safari, the roaming grounds of lions and countless other beasts. The audio effects are strange if nothing else. A compilation of electronic and mechanical sounds, that supposedly leave with an authentic feeling. Perhaps something the company should improve on. When it comes to symbols there is a collection of the usual suspects and ones inspired by the theme.
Betting Options and Functions
The game uses the once revolutionary 1024 ways to win, which means that setting the symbols in neat lines on adjacent reels pays out just like in all other pokies. Total bet starts from 0.40 coins and goes up to 280 coins for those who can handle such sums. Variety is slightly below medium, which is to say you’re still looking for a few lucky spins among many unlucky ones.
From Nine to Ace the playing card ranks are back to combine into small wins. Three to five symbols pay out between five and 150 times the line bet. The nine also works as the classic cherry, paying out double your line bet when only two symbols connect. The creatures and symbols of the plains work up these sums, all the way into 200 times the line bet. The big prizes can be found via the special feature.
Features
The wild tree grows on the middle reels, showing up quite often to substitute other symbols. Land the Silver Lioness scatter and you get the bonus games, during which the Wild Tree wins rise up with the help of a multiplier that can offer prizes 27 times the normal. You start with a maximum of 25 free spins, landing five more every time diamonds are found on the reels.
Our Take
Free spins and big wins. Is that enough to keep you playing? This game struggles to keep the player interested. The fact that the whole look is a bit nostalgic and dated doesn’t really help, even if the game is actually optimised for modern mobile play. At the end of the day, the game does play out like a standard slot. Apart from chasing the free spins, there’s not much to do. In case you enjoy big cats and safaris this might be just the game for you.
