the Nemean Lion slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

I’ll admit it – I had absolutely no idea what the word “Nemean” meant and had to search for it whilst trying to work out exactly what the theme of the Nemean Lion slot game was all about. Well, Nemean is defined as “designating one of the national festivals of ancient Greece, held at Nemea, in the second and fourth years of each Olympiad”. This didn’t entirely clear things up for me, I must say – though who knows, perhaps lions competed in the Olympics back then? We do know the Romans and Greeks loved a spectacle, after all. I can just imagine all the 100m sprinters being eaten by lions as the crowds at the colosseum went crazy, can’t you? 

So, assuming you made it this far without being eaten by a lion – how’s about that paytable? The scatter appears only on reels two, three, and four, and hitting all three will reward you with 5x your bet as well as the bonus round. The wild and lion symbols pay the most with 50x your bet for five-of-a-kind, followed by the man with a club who returns 25x for all five. Next is the pretty brunette – if you thought the guy with the club didn’t stand much of a chance against a lion, I’m not sure how she’s going to fare, but hey, 12.5x your stake for a five-of-a-kind. The wizard looking guy with a cane also pays 12.5x your stake for five-of-a-kind, although his three and four of a kind pay outs are lower than the pretty lady’s. And hey, maybe I’m onto something with all this lion eating people stuff… the final two picture symbols are a club and a pearl necklace! These must be the bits the lion didn’t want to eat, I reckon - 5x your stake for a full line of either of those.

Stakes are selected using a single bet selector located directly below the reels, with the minimum bet being set at €0.20 and the maximum at a chunky €200.00 per spin. This should be more than enough for any player, and thankfully there’s also no max bet button to accidentally hit and wipe out your entire balance in a single spin

base game & modifiers

The Nemean Lion video slot utilises a 5x5 playfield – an unusual shape, especially for a game with 40 fixed pay lines. All of the symbols are stacked on all reels including the wilds, however, so the setup seems to work pretty well in my experience. In fact, I hit a fairly ridiculous 680x win within my first ten spins – which just goes to show that the base game is more than capable of some substantial hits.
